Everyone in the World Baseball Classic has gotten at least a couple appearances on the field now, and there’s been plenty of lopsided scores alongside some interesting results and upsets. Japan became the first team to officially make it out of pool play with a 3-0 start in Pool C, advancing to the quarterfinals, but […]
New York Post | Mark W. Sanchez: As he recovers from offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum, shortstop Anthony Volpe addressed reporters this week. At the moment, the former top prospect, who may have suffered the injury last May, has progressed in his rehab from simply fielding grounders to diving, has yet to face […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! We finally got some real, meaningful baseball this week, as the 2026 World Baseball Classic is finally underway. A whopping 13 Yankees have suited up for this year’s tourney, led of course by Yankees and Team […]
More than the vast majority of spring training games, this matchup between the Yankees and Mets was all about the starting pitchers. While both of them disappointed on their own levels, Ryan Weathers’ disastrous outing proved pivotal in the Yankees’ 10-4 loss against an underwhelming Freddy Peralta. It might have read 82 degrees and sunny […]
Perhaps the projected starter with the most to prove in a Yankee uniform—looking to establish himself this spring training in a new organization after an injury-riddled campaign with the Marlins—Ryan Weathers gets the opportunity to face a rather strong Mets lineup despite its many absences with multiple superstars competing in the World Baseball Classic. Even […]
Three years ago, the Texas Rangers stood atop the baseball world, as the won a Wild Card spot and took down the Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros, and Arizona Diamondbacks en route to their first World Series championship in franchise history. Since then, it has become clear that, while they were not quite […]
While he had a perfectly nice major league career, the name Jim Bouton is probably only going to evoke one thing, and it’s not his pitching. While he was able to get the chance to do it because he was a major league pitcher of some regard, Bouton is most famous for his 1970 book […]

The Yankees have spent a lot of time talking about their pitching this spring, Brian Cashman making a point to praise the high upside arms the team will have at their disposal throughout the season. To be sure, the thought of Gerrit Cole arriving midseason to reinforce a rotation that should already include Max Fried, […]
New York Post | Mark Sánchez: After yet another bullpen session on Saturday, Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodón got some good news. He is set to face hitters next week, for the first time since going under the knife to remove loose bodies from his elbow in the offseason. Rodón is healthy, but the Bombers have […]
It’s absolute nonsense that a game featuring so many top prospects and recent graduates wasn’t televised, but then again, maybe we’re all better off for not having seen this matchup on Saturday night. The Yankees really didn’t bring much to West Palm Beach, with a sextet of pitchers walking more Nationals than they struck out, […]
I’m going to get my grumblings about this game not being televised out of the way here, though I reserve the right to grumble again in the recap. The pride of the Yankees’ farm system heads to West Palm Beach to take on the Nationals, and the only way we’ll be able to follow it […]
As one of the more unlikely pennant winners in recent years, the 84-win Diamondbacks of 2023 nearly reached baseball’s peak for the second time in franchise history. While it hasn’t been all doom and gloom for the Snakes, they haven’t been back to the postseason since, and they likely face an uphill battle to do […]
The 2026 World Baseball Classic officially kicked off earlier this week, and several Yankees are involved, most notably Aaron Judge. The Yankee captain is also captaining Team USA, while other Yankees around the tournament include Jazz Chihsolm Jr., Austin Wells, David Bednar, Paul Goldschmidt, Ryan Yarbrough, Fernando Cruz, Camilo Doval, and Amed Rosario. However, seeing […]
Baseball careers are often remembered for a single moment. Sometimes it’s a walk-off hit or a championship performance. Other times, it’s even more strange. Like a game stopped by controversy, resumed weeks later in an empty stadium, and remembered forever for a bat covered in pine tar and a player charging like a bull out […]

We get eight more today, and then seven more tomorrow and Monday, respectively, before the fire hose of baseball is turned down a bit. But for now, here’s how it feels: Anyway, we’re keeping […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Carlos Lagrange has been turning heads this spring, and joining the list is his most esteemed colleague in Gerrit Cole. The youngster hit triple digits on the radar gun several times during a live BP session Friday afternoon, and the Cy Young winner was simply blown away. “I’ve hit 101 in […]
Expectations were high for Cam Schlittler’s first spring start, and he did not disappoint. Over 2.1 innings and 39 pitches, he struck out four Rays and looked really good while doing it. Meanwhile, Trent Grisham came up clutch on offense, driving in two runs on a single in the second inning. The rest of the […]

Hey everyone! It’s good to be back. Speaking of back, so are the Yankees, and they’ll be looking to wash away the aftertaste of yesterday’s 15-0 drubbing at the hands of the Twins. Their opponents today will be the Rays, with Cam Schlittler making his spring debut against Joe Boyle. It’s hard to overstate the […]
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. Don H. asks: I’m just so tired of the Yankees letting players languish in the minors, until their play by or […]
The Miami Marlins are somewhat like cicadas. Every couple years, they emerge and make the playoffs, only to then immediately go back underground for a while. Unfortunately, the Yankees caught one of the worst years of that cicada infestation in 2003. Recently, the Marlins made the playoffs in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, and then somewhat […]
