When will the hot stove start cooking?
June is here, and with it a summer filled with baseball is about to start. The Yankees are in the thick of a division race that promises to go down to the wire as always, sitting 1.5 games behind the Rays but a comfortable 7.5 games ahead of the rest of Toronto, Boston, and Baltimore. […]
Yankees news: J.C. Escarra tries switch-hitting
Yahoo! Sports | Billy Heyen: During Saturday night’s game, Michael Kay revealed on the YES Network that Yankees backup catcher J.C. Escarra has been trying to become a switch-hitter. Recognizing that the team’s search for a right-handed catcher puts his roster spot in jeopardy, the former Uber driver has once again set out to do […]
The mess that is much of the American League
In general, it feels fair to say that parity is a good thing in the game of baseball. The more teams that are involved in the chase for playoff contention, the better, and 2026 has certainly been a year of such parity to this point. For better or worse, much of the Junior Circuit is […]
13 men score in historic third inning to lead Yankees to series win
That was one of the stranger games of baseball you’ll see. If you came in blind and I told you that the Yankees would give up eight runs while only scoring in a single inning, and Sacremento pitching faced the minimum in every other inning, you’d probably bet that they lost their Sunday rubber match […]
New York Yankees @ The Athletics: Will Warren vs. Jacob Lopez
May has been a hit-or-miss month for the Yankees, and so has this series. They dominated the Athletics on Friday, only to lose behind a trio of homers last night. With Will Warren on the hill, they stand the chance today to win a game, win a key series, and hopefully put the messiness of […]
Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Let the good times roll
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! Ever since Aaron Judge dropped a home run into the short porch against the Tampa Bay Rays last Sunday, the Yankees have been on a roll — and yet, they are currently the second biggest sports […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Kenny Lofton
Back in the days of Backyard Baseball 2001, Kenny Lofton was unstoppable. With his immense speed, pretty much every ball in play turned into a single, every single turned into a triple, and every ball hit vaguely in his general direction was caught. And so, when the Yankees, looking for another option in center field […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Angels drop two touchdowns at the Trop
The Yankees offense couldn’t keep the momentum rolling for a fourth straight night. Following efforts of 15, seven, and eight runs, their valiant comeback attempt in the ninth fell just short in the second game against the A’s. They still have a chance to win the three-game series today with Will Warren on the mound. […]
RailRiders’ Danny Watson pitching for organization he rooted for as a youth
Growing up outside Albany, New York, Danny Watson was a New York Yankees fan. He told the Albany Times-Union in an interview that his entire room ”was decked out in Yankee gear.” So you can imagine what it was like when the Yankees fulfilled his childhood dream and selected him in the 15th round (453rd […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 5/31/26
A month ago at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees won the first game of their three-game set against the A’s before dropping the next two in a row for a disappointing series loss. More recently, they won on Friday in West Sacramento and then lost last night thanks to an up-and-down Ryan Weathers and an offense […]
Yankees news: Carlos Lagrange poised for big league bullpen call-up
Sports Illustrated | Joseph Randazzo: The Yankees bullpen remains the team’s most wobbly unit and it could be getting an exciting internal reinforcement soon. Relaying a report from Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Randazzo noted that Brian Cashman is considering calling up top pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange to provide a boost to a […]
Yankees fall in Sacramento as Athletics mash three homers off Ryan Weathers
West Coast trips stink. Unless you’re one of the many Yankees fans who live out west, I think a lot of us can agree on that. When they win, it’s chill, especially if it’s a relative blowout like Friday night, where you could catch some shut-eye a little early. When they lose, you just feel […]
New York Yankees @ The Athletics: Ryan Weathers vs. J.T. Ginn
The ebbs and flows of a long, long baseball season can totally change your mood in a matter of days. Just six days ago, the Yankees had lost three consecutive games against division rivals and had fallen to 5.5 games back of the first-place Rays. Six days later, they have a chance to pull within […]
Amed Rosario is in uncharted territory
If you asked me what the highlight of Tuesday’s 15-1 drubbing of the Royals was, I’d pick Cam Schlittler’s casual six-inning, one-run start. But a close second would be Amed Rosario’s four-hit, two-homer performance. Ok, it’s important to note that his second homer came against a position player on the mound, poor old Tyler Tolbert. […]
A primer on the CBA proposals
This week, the MLB Player’s Association and the league submitted their preliminary proposals to formally kick off the much-anticipated (much-dreaded?) collective bargaining agreement negotiations. Not surprisingly, this has sparked a lot of discussion, as fans dissect not only the proposals themselves, but the statements issued by both sides in response to the other’s proposal. Already, […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Rube Oldring
In the early, pre-Babe Ruth days of the franchise, the New York Yankees/Highlanders often featured great players who had or would go on to have championship success at the big league level. The issue was often that they just didn’t have the right combination of players, have them at the right age, or didn’t figure […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays better at baseball than Angels
What John Sterling always said was true. You can’t predict baseball, Suzyn. Except sometimes you can have a pretty fair guess. The expected outcomes for the American League’s top two teams came to pass last night because both the Yankees and Rays are better than the A’s and Angels. If you’ll forgive getting blue from […]
The backup catcher: A market analysis
Once again, the Yankees boast the best offense in the American League. Ben Rice might actually get more MVP votes if they were tallied today than Aaron Judge, and Cody Bellinger has made everyone forget who Kyle Tucker is. Even Trent Grisham has started to hit like a key member of a powerful lineup, and […]
Yankees prospects: Jones homers again, but Elmer struggles

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 5/30/26
Just as it looked like the Yankees were swooning, they’ve pulled out of it. Five straight wins will do that, with New York now within 1.5 games of Tampa Bay and one off their highwater mark above .500 for the season. It’s times like these that the club’s stellar starting rotation feels so imposing; coming […]
Yankees news: Looking ahead to the Trade Deadline
MLB Trade Rumors | Anthony Franco: We’re still a bit of a ways off from the Trade Deadline and the season leading up to it, but a picture is starting to be painted in regards to what the Yankees might do. Reports have the Yankees looking at relievers and catching options most notably. MLB.com | […]
Carlos Rodón leads the way in an all-around victory over A’s
The Athletics as an organization have gotten themselves in a weird situation where they, as a major league team, are playing games in a minor league ballpark. The team themselves are a perfectly solid major league team, fighting atop an iffy AL West at this point of the season, with young talent that could make […]
New York Yankees @ The Athletics: Carlos Rodón vs. Luis Severino
After an up-and-down homestand, the Yankees opened this week with a quite successful series in Kansas City against the Royals. Now, it’s time for them to go even further west as they take on the Athletics in West Sacramento. The A’s come into this series just half a game back in the AL West standings, […]

Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. The idiot that said, “Harper is coming” asks: Did you have only five teams at or above .500 in the American […]
