The Yankees season has come to a close, and it was once again they have been beaten by the Houston Astros. Unless you want to talk about a retractable roof, there are no excuses this time. No cheating allegations to fall back on. The Astros have lost George Springer, Carlos Correa and Gerrit Cole and the gap between Houston and …
The Yankees are off to one of the best starts fans have ever seen at 26-9 with the best record in baseball. This might be surprising to many because a team formed of essentially the same roster won 91 games and lost in the Wild Card game in 2021. They didn’t make the big moves nearly everyone wanted like signing …
As I sit here trying to summarize the feeling of watching the Yankees slowly meet their demise in the Wild Card game to the Boston Red Sox it is easy to pinpoint the fatal flaws from the 2021 season. More comprehensive thoughts on these topics will be put out there in the coming weeks, but these are the reasons the …
Injuries have piled up for the Yankees in the past week, and to top it off, they lost key players in the lineup and bullpen to positive COVID-19 tests. This had to have been the stretch that put the nail in the coffin for the Yankees, right? Wrong. The Yankees have won two out of three against the Red Sox …
The Yankees currently sit in fourth place in the American League East, nine games back of the division and five and a half games out of the second wild-card spot. There is a ton of blame to go around. The one person who does not deserve any of that blame is Aaron Judge. Assuming Aaron Judge's June is complete, it'll …
With the injury to Yankees’ center fielder Aaron Hicks, the Yankees have a bigger problem than what already existed in the outfield. Hicks had a slow start to the season, but as I outlined in my piece last week he had been playing much better leading up to the injury that landed him on the IL. Leftfield has been a …
A tumultuous turn of events has disheartened Yankee fans everywhere. So far, Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Hicks, Aaron Judge, Luis Severino, and James Paxton all look like they are going to miss Opening Day in Baltimore. Here is a look at how second-year manager Aaron Boone can fill out his lineup card before plastering it on the away dugout on Thursday, …
Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton are unlikely to be fit for Opening Day, and the Yankees have to deal with injuries once again. With Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton both unlikely for Opening Day, the #Yankees outfield will probably feature Clint Frazier, Mike Tauchman (and maybe Miguel Andujar) flanking Brett Gardner. — Bryan Hoch (@BryanHoch) March 3, 2020 With these …
Things could get interesting if Aaron Judge’s injury turns out to be more serious, but this post is operating under the assumption Judge breaks camp as the starting right fielder and Stanton breaks camp as the everyday DH. This leaves Mike Tauchman, Brett Gardner, Clint Frazier and Tyler Wade (yes, the infielder) as the four men fighting for a starting …
Miguel Andujar missed all but twelve games in 2019 but is making a comeback to play in 2020. With the way Gio Urshela played in 2019, it puts the Yankees in a difficult position as to who will start the year at third base. Should they ride Gio Urshela’s hot hand from last season, or should a player who could …
