Yankees sleepwalk to shutout at against Blue Jays’ bullpen, settle for series split
The Yankees have been clearly salty about the way their 2025 season came to a close since the moment it happened. They strongly believed that their team was talented enough to win a championship, and to lose to the Blue Jays—first in the AL East race and then in the AL Division Series—was deeply disappointing. […]
New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays: Carlos Rodón vs. Braydon Fisher
Though the Yankees and Blue Jays remain 7.5 games apart in the AL East standings, the first three games of this four-game set between them have each been decided by a single run. Last night, the Yankees failed to support Cam Schlittler’s strong start as their nemesis Trey Yesavage dominated them again. Thanks to the […]
Paul Goldschmidt is showing he still has a lot to offer
The Yankees initially decided to bring in Paul Goldschmidt ahead of the 2025 campaign to be their first baseman. Throughout the first couple months, the signing was a coup, as he hit a scalding .338/.394/.495 with a 148 wRC+. Plenty of folks in the Yankees’ orbit thought that he had found the Fountain of Youth. […]
Ryan McMahon’s struggles are very real, and feature a new flavor of frustration
At the 2025 Trade Deadline, one of the Yankees’ primary acquisitions was for a defense-first third baseman. Ryan McMahon, who had spent the past nine seasons with the Colorado Rockies, was known as one of the game’s finest defenders at the hot corner, one that could hit enough to get by in the majors, culminating […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Andrew Miller
The New York Yankees know what it’s like to hold some of the league’s best relievers in its bullpen. Names like Goose Gossage, Sparky Lyle, Dave Righetti, and Mariano Rivera are the talk of the town for the Bombers of old, while Dellin Betances resonate with those in the modern era. But another reliever of […]
When a home run wasn’t a home run
On May 21, 1880, a strange thing happened in upstate New York. While playing at Riverside Park in Albany, Lip Pike — playing for the National Association team in Albany in between stints at the professional/semi-professional level — hit a fly ball over the fence in right field and into the nearby river. Outfielder Lon […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays continue to pad division lead
The Yankees dropped the third game of their series against the Blue Jays, losing a narrow pitchers’ duel between Cam Schlittler and Trey Yesavage. Schlittler matched Yesavage zero for zero on the scoreboard until the seventh inning, when the hits finally poured over and loaded the bases before he walked one in and was pulled. […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Camilo Doval (5/19)
The last three games have been an adventure with the Yankees bullpen, and not a particularly fun one either. Yes, they secured the win in two out of three, but boy have David Bednar and Camilo Doval put Yankees fans through the wringer in the ninth inning against the Mets and the first two against […]
Yankees prospects: Jackson Lovich hits three homers, but farm goes winless
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 1-13 at Lehigh Valley IronPigs — fell behind 7-0 after four and then a six-run eighth made the score silly SS George Lombard Jr. 1-5, 2B, 2 K, CS — 398 feet on the two-baggerRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-5, 2 K2B Marco Luciano 0-3, BBLF Oswaldo Cabrera 0-3, BB1B Seth Brown 1-4, […]
How should the Yankees’ lineup look if Trent Grisham needs to go on the IL?
It’s a tough time to be a Yankees outfielder, or in the case of Giancarlo Stanton, outfield-adjacent. The big guy has been out for almost a month now with a right calf strain that he’s (unsurprisingly) been slow to recover to from, and he hasn’t been cleared for the next step yet. Granted an opportunity […]
Yankees news: Caballero eyes Friday return, Volpe’s spot?
MLB.com | Mike Petriello: Aaron Judge, the greatest right-handed hitter of all time, has a chance to make history once more this year. Though his production thus far in 2026 hasn’t quite matched his play from the last few seasons, he’s on pace for 54 home runs, which would make the first hitter ever to […]
Yankees fall short to Blue Jays in pitchers’ duel on a long night in the Bronx
It was a good, ol’ fashioned pitchers’ duel in the Bronx on Wednesday night, one that we had to wait patiently for due to a lengthy rain delay. Two young, burgeoning aces who burst on the scene during last year’s postseason went toe-to-toe in a big midweek divisional matchup, and it lived up to the […]
Trent Grisham removed from Wednesday’s game with left knee discomfort
With Giancarlo Stanton and Jasson Domínguez already on the shelf after injuries suffered within the past month in two separate series against the Texas Rangers, the organization’s outfield depth is being stretched thin. Unfortunately, the hits kept on coming during Wednesday night’s game against the Blue Jays, following a two-hour rain delay. Center fielder Trent […]
New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays: Cam Schlittler vs. Trey Yesavage
The weather may not be bright, but the Yankees’ spirits are probably a little brighter after taking the first two games of this series against Toronto. They haven’t been pretty, but after the abysmal road trip New York suffered, back-to-back wins could be just the thing to jumpstart them back into high gear, and they […]
Yankees announce start time after rain delay with Blue Jays on Wednesday night
A scintillating starting pitching matchup is on tap in the Bronx tonight, as young phenoms Cam Schlittler and Trey Yesavage are supposed to go toe-to-toe. Both right-handers broke out late in 2025, with Schlittler earning a rotation spot down the stretch for the Yankees and then dominating the Red Sox in his playoff debut to […]
Payton Henry now on RailRiders’ side of rivalry with Lehigh Valley
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders catcher Payton Henry has had this week circled on the schedule for a while. For the first time this season, the RailRiders face the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, Triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. They opened a six-game series Tuesday night at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, Pa., with a 15-4 victory. Henry played for […]
How best to handle the sound at Yankee Stadium
Over the past two years, the biggest story at Yankee Stadium has not been the play on the field, but the organization’s insistence to launch a veritable artillery barrage of sound at the fans in an effort to mimic the vibe at a Knicks game and, allegedly, bring the Stadium into the 2020s. While the […]
I guess Cody Bellinger is taking walks again
One of the most common critiques leveled against the Yankees’ 2025-26 offseason was that they were simply running it back, and to those critics, no move was as emblematic of that than the re-signing of Cody Bellinger. Although the 2019 NL MVP had a stellar year in 2025, hitting .272 with 29 homers and accumulating […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Bobby Murcer
If you were to rank the best and most beloved Yankees in history, most of them would share at least one trait: they probably won a couple World Series rings. There’s some people on the current day team that unfortunately haven’t checked that off the list yet, but basically since Babe Ruth showed up in […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays’ new starter Griffin Jax shuts down Orioles
It’s heart attack hotel with this Yankees relief corps, but the bullpen managed to survive another ninth inning comeback attempt to secure consecutive one-run victories over the Blue Jays. It’s made all the more important that they managed to win on a day when Blue Jays ace Dylan Cease was starting, Ryan McMahon and Ben […]
The sky is the limit for Cam Schlittler and his new sinker
Last month, I was given the opportunity to introduce a new series that I have been super excited to explore alongside all of you. It regards a trend we had noticed developing in the Yankees pitching room toward the end of the 2024 season. At that point, the league was still very much in the […]
Yankees prospects: Yanquiel Fernández’s two bombs lead blowout in Lehigh
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 15-4 at Lehigh Valley IronPigs SS George Lombard Jr. 3-5, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 3 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SBRF Yanquiel Fernández 3-6, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 2 R2B Marco Luciano 2-6, 1 R, 2 K, 2 SB3B Oswaldo Cabrera 1-4, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 2 R, 2 BB, […]
Who’s had the biggest decline on the Yankees?
Yesterday, Jake opened up the day with a discussion about what the biggest positive development the Yankees have gotten out of this season has been. If you’ll forgive the shameless piggy-backing off of that topic, I’d like to flip the question on its head and ponder what the worst development has been, what decline in […]
Yankees news: Gerrit Cole returning Friday, Stanton still held back
NY Post | Greg Joyce: Giancarlo Stanton has been out since the end of April with a calf strain, but he isn’t quite where he needs to be to resume running and get close to a return. MRI results have not been clean, showing the strain still as recently as last week, and the team […]
McMahon, Rice power Yankees to win over Blue Jays
Yesterday was such a nailbiter that even though tonight’s game was just about as close, the cadence of the evening felt very different — until it didn’t. Both teams reserved almost all their scoring for the middle innings, with an emphasis on a very stressful “almost.” The most charitable reading of the ninth inning would […]
