The Subway Series having real juice again is good for baseball

It doesn’t take a true baseball expert to know that the Yankees and Mets, despite playing just seven miles apart, aren’t true rivals. After all, aside from the exhibition preseason “Mayor’s Trophy” games, they never met each other on a baseball diamond until June 1997 due to MLB’s relatively late introduction of interleague play. The […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Alex Verdugo

The Mookie Betts trade shook the baseball world. A century after dealing away a superstar who helped them win a World Series, the Boston Red Sox did it again. Worse, it seemed as though they didn’t get nearly as much in return as they probably could have for Betts, at that time a four-time All-Star, […]

New York Yankees vs. New York Mets: Series Preview

The Yankees have been sputtering a bit of late, losing five of their last six games while also dealing with injuries, including one to Max Fried that the extent of is not known yet. However, it almost always could be worse, and we just need to look at this weekend’s opponent for an example of […]

Yankees prospects: Oswaldo Cabrera leads RailRiders’ attack on Mets’ Jonah Tong

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 11-3 vs. Syracuse Mets — they really walloped Mets pitching prospect Jonah Tong, who allowed more runs (seven) than outs recorded (five) SS George Lombard Jr. 1-6, RBI, GIDP, throwing error — level adjustments are real, and that’s OKRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-5, 2 K, HBP2B Marco Luciano 2-3, HR, BB, 2 RBI, […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley — 5/15/26

The 2026 edition of the Subway Series begins tonight. What else needs to be said? The Yankees and Mets are both really in need of wins, though no matter how much the Rays are currently annoying Yankees fans in first place, the Mets’ record is quite a bit worse. Today on the site, Matt will […]

Yankees news: Offense looking to settle down in Subway Series

New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: The Subway Series kicks off tonight in Queens with both the Yankees and Mets finding themselves out of sorts. The Metropolitans are no longer the worst team in baseball, proudly ahead of the Astros, Rockies, and Angels, but still need to get back on track quickly if they […]

Jazz Chisholm’s contact metrics are at an all-time worst

Among Yankees regulars, only Austin Wells and Ryan McMahon had a lower wRC+ than Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s 72 mark before Wednesday’s game against the Orioles. To say that the second baseman’s season has been a disappointment to this point would be an understatement. Before taking the field on Wednesday, Chisholm’s slash line was at .200/.280/.320 […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Earle Combs

As we saw when the Angels had literally Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout at the same time and couldn’t sniff the playoffs, you need more than just a couple stars to make a good roster in baseball. The “Murderers’ Row” Yankees of the 1920s and ‘30s are a good example. Yes, they had the likes […]

Yankees Sequence(s) of the Week: Will Warren (5/12)

We’re going to try something a little different this time around on Sequence of the Week. Normally, we select a single at-bat or plate appearance from a given game to highlight the sequencing and execution from a Yankees pitcher. However, there were two encounters from the Yankees’ most recent win against the Orioles on Tuesday […]

Yankees prospects: Tarpons’ top of the lineup goes yard in win

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 7-0 vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 0-5, 1 K1B Seth Brown 1-52B Marco Luciano 1-3, 1 2B, 1 R, 1 BB3B Oswaldo Cabrera 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 R, 1 KDH Ernesto Martinez Jr. 1-4, 1 R, 1 KC Ali Sánchez 1-4, 1 RLF Jonathan Ornelas 2-3, 1 2B, 2 […]

How will the Yankees’ pitching respond to its first stress test?

The last week hasn’t been too kind to the Yankees, as they’ve dropped five of their last six games and seen their offense disappear for most of that stretch. While there’s concerns to be had about the lineup struggling to get going again leading to one of their only losing streaks of the year, they […]

Yankees news: Fried exits with elbow issue

SNY | Alex Smith: The Yankees lost for the sixth time in their last eight games on Wednesday, and that’s not even the worst news: left-hander Max Fried had to leave the game after three innings with left elbow posterior soreness. The pitcher himself told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com that it felt like a hyperextension […]

Yankees lose Fried, game, and series to Orioles

Things stink right now. The Yankee offense has been present for one game out of the last six, and we’re in the dark about the Max Fried’s potential elbow injury. On top of all that, New York lost a game that it felt like they were never involved in in the first place, managing a […]

Max Fried’s elbow injury forces him to leave Wednesday start early

Max Fried only lasted three innings on Wednesday afternoon in Baltimore, indeed seeming to take himself out of the game after the third frame. Down 3-0, the lefty immediately went down the tunnel followed by members of the training staff, and pitching coach Matt Blake tapped Paul Blackburn to come in for longman’s work. Fried […]

New York Yankees @ Baltimore Orioles: Max Fried vs. Kyle Bradish

After that skid in Milwaukee, the Yankees have the chance to get right back on the horse today with a series win over Baltimore. First pitch time has been moved up from 6:35pm to 1:05pm this afternoon with fears of some nasty weather tonight, but we’re all hoping for some nasty pitching from Max Fried […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: John Ryan Murphy

John Ryan Murphy: a name that lives rent-free in my brain. Why? No one knows, other than the fact it sounds more like a nursery rhyme than the name of a former big-league catcher. Murphy was once on the long list of Yankees right-handed catchers. Remember those days when Francisco Cervelli was the primary catcher, […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays survive in extras over Jays

The Yankees broke their losing streak on Tuesday, besting Baltimore 6-2 thanks to a five-run third inning. Trent Grisham punctuated the rally with a three-run blast off of Trevor Rogers, who has looked nowhere close to the dominant form he displayed for the O’s in 2025. The rest of the league was back in action […]

Key series with Syracuse on tap this week for Triple-A RailRiders

We have reached the midway point of the first half of the International League schedule and the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders are in the thick of the race for first place. They entered the week in fifth place with a 20-17 record, four games behind the leading Memphis Redbirds (25-14). The Gwinnett Stripers are second at 24-15, […]

Yankees prospects: Carlos Lagrange throws over 102 but Scranton falls in 13

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 4-7 (13) vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 0-2, 4 BB, K, fielding error — almost the rare extra-inning/no-contact day; also had first error at Triple-A, which sparked Syracuse’s ninth-inning rally to go from trailing 4-2 to a 4-4 tie1B-LF Seth Brown 1-5, HR, BB, RBI, 2 K2B Marco Luciano 1-5, […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley — 5/13/26

Hey folks, it was a quick turnaround last night on a weeknight and I was at the game, so we’re going to just do a classic “Today on Pinstripe Alley” post today rather than doing a full question exercise. Thanks for understanding! We’ll still have two rapid-fire questions for folks to talk about if they […]
