When Aaron Hicks went to the Orioles and had a sudden resurgence last year, the Yankee world was wishing he was back in pinstripes for some reason.  I just sat there thinking, "No it's coming, don't worry."  And here we are. Hicks is out of a job, because let's face it, the guy cannot play anymore.  I don't fault him for it, baseball is hard.  But the biggest problem I had with Hicks and the Yankees is how the Yankees actually thought this guy was a long term franchise player for them.  Remember when they signed the guy year 7, 70 million? What were they thinking?&nb ..read more

The bats were silent all game.  It's really one of those things that frustrates Yankee fans.  How can a lineup this powerful be so quiet some games and then other games they collect 14 runs? Well, last night was a night of silence, just to get the Bronx to roar in the 9th and it all started with our Captain and ended with Anthony F'in Rizzo! The New York Post writes: "Aaron Judge led off with a single up the middle against Jason Foley and Alex Verdugo followed with a bunt hit down the third base line. Giancarlo Stanton, who struck out his first three times, ripped a double to righ ..read more

I come home from a vacation and turn on my tv to catch up on some Yankee baseball, and hopefully a win against the Orioles. I didn't get what I was hoping for. Instead I watched the most embarrassing swing and miss I have ever seen in my life and then my X account went bananas! Seriously, what the hell was this? What was he swinging at? I think I re-watched this video ten times just in disbelief. I've been critical of Giancarlo Stanton in the past but seriously, calling this a bad swing is an insult. So I finally have something in common with a professional baseball player. I can eas ..read more

I got a text message from a fan Tuesday night that said, "We already look second class against Baltimore." My response, "It's too early for that talk." And with that comment Juan Soto launched a 471 foot 2-run shot into Eutaw Street. "It's Juanderful", as John Sterling would say. So despite Baltimore being well, Baltimore and taking the first two games of the series, the Yankees keep things exciting with Soto.

I mean it's not that deep.   Aaron Judge slid and slid like he always slides.  That's it, end of story.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's the nugget from Pinstripe Nation: "The Yankees nation stands united in defending captain Aaron Judge from attacks by the Brewers over his outstretched sliding hand deflected a throw from Willy Adames, preventing a potential inning-ending double play. The controversial play in the sixth inning at American Family Field on Sunday drew the ire of Brewers fans, who rained boos down upon the Yankees slugger. With Alex Verd ..read more

Source: Associated Press I realize that we are entering the final game of the three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. And you are not defined by one game. But I am not over Friday night's absolute nightmare. Let's start with, that game was winnable. Secondly, we had the offense and the upper hand the whole game. Thirdly, Aaron Boone has not learned how to manage pitchers. Yes, blundering Boone blows it again and I am not over it yet. According to the New York Post, "On a night when Luis Gil lasted just five innings, the Yankees (17-10) already had used four relievers to get to the 1 ..read more

The Yankee starting pitching has done the job, more so than we thought would happen and for me personally... the Yankees biggest critic, I have to say I'm happy with that. I'm also looking for the other shoe to drop, but for now, I'm gonna soak it all in. We do have an update on Gerrit Cole however, and it comes from the New York Post: "Gerrit Cole stretched out to making 50 throws from 120 feet Tuesday..." “You’re out to 120, so it’s moving,” Cole said. “Moving along...Out since early March with nerve inflammation and edema in his right elbow, Cole has maintained he is focused on taking h ..read more

The Yankees are off to a hot start, and for many of us fans, it's pretty exciting. Juan Soto is as promised.  The Yankees starting pitching has been productive, solid.  I'm a big Carlos Rodon guy, so to see him performing the way we envisioned has been fantastic.  Marcus Stroman? What can I say, he's been fun to watch.  Nestor Cortes is unique and does it many games better than several top starters. It's just been cool. But here's what I don't like... Why are we booing Aaron Judge?  I am a pretty passionate fan, but even I don't get the logic in that.  This is ..read more

There is something calming about listening to a ball game on the radio. Having a familiar, consistent voice calling the play by play, providing game insights and a little humor, all while you are in the backyard, on a run, in the car. My brother recently relocated to Minnesota from Long Island. The miles ticked by quickly because there was that voice. Saturday, the Yankees honored John Sterling, a boy from the Bronx that became the voice of the New York Yankees for 36 years. He opened up the game to young fans listening in with their parents. He shared milestones, championships, and heartach ..read more

Yup, the Yanks are still making moves.  Some are not big ones, but some are. This one is small, but significant. You know Taylor Trammell? Yea, we got him. Newsweek writes: "Yankees have claimed outfielder Taylor Trammell off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday, the team announced. To make room on the 40-man roster for Trammell, infielder Kevin Smith was designated for assignment... Trammell has tons of talent, but just hasn't been able to put it together at the big league level. Fortunately, he won't have much pressure to contribute, as the Yankees' starting outfield con ..read more
