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

Well, we stopped the slide, for now. We all knew the Yankees were going to drop a series at some point after they had a hot start. So now, we take the win yesterday and get ready for the next. I hate losing more than I love winning.... call me Billy Beane. I also really hate losing to division rivals and I do think the Blue Jays have a lot of talent on their team. This was the first test. We didn't do as well as I had hoped for but there's a long way to go in the season. The grind starts now. I know there is a lot of hype surrounding the Yankees right now. Yes, they had a great start. They ..read more

Source: AP I have been impressed with Oswaldo Cabrera since he first stepped into the big leagues. Firstly, his smile is contagious but secondly, and more importantly, he can play baseball. He has speed, he has good defense and a consistent sweet swing. And he has had an incredible start to the 2024 season. So why does Boone keep him on the bench instead of playing him everyday? Your guess is as good as mine. "Between his critical long ball on Saturday afternoon and his run-scoring double in Game 2 of the doubleheader, Cabrera is hitting .333 (13-for-41) on the season with a .973 OPS. In 11 ..read more

When it comes to his offense, Austin Wells is slow out of the gate. He's a solid catcher and can hit. We all know this. Remember last year?  Empire Sports Media writes: "We saw a glimpse of what Wells could do offensively last year during the final two weeks of the season when he hit four homers with 10 RBIs, so the Bombers are remaining patient as he acclimates to the season ahead and starts to pick up more momentum." But you know Yankees fans, we grow impatient pretty quickly.  I know I do.  In the last 5 games he's had 12 at bats, struck out 4 times and not a single hit.&n ..read more

Not a ton of bells and whistles here, but stuff is going on.  First off, remember Josh Maciejewski? He was with the Yankees for a hot minute. He was designated for assignment.   Secondly, Jon Berti showed up for the Yankees and he's already on the IL. MLB Trade Rumors writes: " Utilityman Jon Berti has been placed (retroactive to April 11) on the 10-day injured list due to a left groin strain, and left-hander Josh Maciejewski was also designated for assignment." And finally, Ron Marinaccio, we all love Ron, he was called up.  Good. Last night the Yankees couldn't do a t ..read more

There's no other way to describe it, John Sterling was the G.O.A.T. in New York when it came to the Yankee broadcasts.  Don't get me wrong, some people didn't like him there. Some people thought he was a clown with his calls. I did not. There was something comforting to hearing John in the booth with Suzyn.  The home run calls were weird and sometimes didn't make much sense, but that's John and he did it for us.  Yesterday was the day that we found out that it was final... John retired, like immediately.  Sad, an end of an Era, but it was time.   The New York Po ..read more

Sunday's game has me feeling a little bummed out. To have the lead more than once and not be able to hold onto it is tough. I guess the silver lining is that the Yankees still won the series. It could be worse so I will take what I can get. You know who else "gets" something? Aaron Judge. Yup, after the loss I had to remind myself that there's another twist to yesterday's game. Our current captain has company. His 260th home run yesterday ties him with his Yankees captain predecessor Derek Jeter for ninth place on the Yankees all-time home run list. I pointed this out to one of my non-Ya ..read more
