Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Last week, I had the Pinstripe Alley staff make predictions on the 2026 season, and […]
It was unfortunate to see the Yankees’ perfect 3-0 record go by the wayside. Obviously that was never going to last, but it was almost more annoying to lose a close game, even when the opponent is a tough one in Seattle. Ryan Weathers didn’t go very deep, the bullpen was exposed a bit with […]
If you watched any of the Little League World Series in the late 2000s, you will recall the number of times you saw Chien-Ming Wang listed as a favorite player. The legend began 46 years ago today in Taiwan’s oldest city, long before he became a household name in New York or a symbol of […]
Baseball is back, and if the opening week of games are a portent of things to come, we are in for a thrilling season around the league. One of my favorite parts of the return of baseball is that I get to resume the At-Bat of the Week and Sequence of the Week series where […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Today, I wanted to check in to see how everyone is feeling after the first series of the year for the San Francisco Giants, in which they were swept by the New York Yankees. Yes, I know they will have technically started the second series by the time you’re reading this, […]
Yankees minor league baseball is back! While the big league club worked on sweeping the San Francisco Giants out west, the first games of the minor league season took place over the weekend, with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre opening their season on Friday. They only played three games, and the other three full-season affiliates don’t officially kick […]
1963 Almost a year to the day after setting a Payne Park attendance record of 5,712, the White Sox and Yankees drew two more fans for a game, setting the all-time mark for White Sox Spring Training at the venue. 1983 Four days before the start of the regular season, the left shoulder of Britt […]
The Yankees’ hopes of going 162-0 were quashed on Monday, as the Mariners won in walk-off fashion 2-1 to open up a three-game set with the Bombers. New York was getting shut down against Luis Castillo, a common occurrence at this point against the Mariner ace, but managed to tie the game shortly after he […]
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: Ben Rice didn’t exactly raise eyebrows with his first base defense last year, and when he did it wasn’t in a good way. The young Yankee cost his team some outs down the stretch and in the playoffs, especially when it came to his footwork around the bag […]
Even though the Mariners were winning most of the game, it still felt like they were going to have to win on a comeback, which they eventually did. The Yankees were dominating the ABS challenge system, and the Mariners had a few defensive miscues, driving all the focus to the Yankees’ half-innings. Meanwhile, despite putting […]
The opening salvo in this three-game battle between the Yankees and Mariners was as tight as you could have expected—and also true to expectations, pitching led the way. Neither staff so much as blinked throughout this game, but ultimately the Mariners found the big hit late as they prevailed, 2-1. Cal Raleigh’s walk-off single against […]

The Yankees passed their first test of the regular season with flying colors, tranquilizing the Giants in a three-game sweep. Now, following an unconventional Sunday off, the Yankees will pay a visit to a popular preseason World Series pick: the Seattle Mariners. The M’s, of course, came a game away from reaching the Fall Classic […]
The Mariners draw a tough opponent in their quest for their first series win of 2026. The Yankees of New York, New York look every bit the force of nature they’ve been the past few years, with Aaron Judge already climbing the home run leaderboard. In their attempt to win game one, Seattle will hand […]
The MiLB season got underway last week, the Yankees’ Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, kicking off their season in Buffalo. The rest of the team’s full-season affiliates will get started this week, and with the season about to start, the Yankees announced the rosters for the Double-A Somerset Patriots, the High-A Hudson Valley Renegades, and the Low-A […]
For the second straight year, the New York Yankees are opening their season up with a convincing sweep. This time around, the pitching staff led the way as they delivered two shutouts followed by a one-run performance in the finale on Saturday, though the offense more than arrived as well with a seven-run outpouring to […]
The bullpen was the lone bright spot for the San Francisco Giants in what was otherwise a miserable opening series sweep against the New York Yankees. But that didn’t keep the team from seeking an upgrade, just a few days into the season. On Monday afternoon, ahead of their second series of the year (against […]
The 2026 Major League Baseball regular season is officially underway, and the Yankees have begun their “run it back” season without a hitch after a three-game series sweep against the Giants. The first two games, including the first MLB game of 2026, were shutouts in favor of the visiting Bombers. Max Fried continued his dominance […]
The 1970s were a pivotal time for baseball labor relations and player negotiating power, that decade bringing about the end of the reserve clause and the advent of free agency. There are several trailblazing names associated with that movement, chief among them Curt Flood. But nearly as important in terms of setting a precedent to […]
The baseball gods are rarely kind enough that all the Yankees’ rivals lose on the same day. Yesterday, the exact opposite almost happened. But Boston lost, and that’s always nice. They’re also about to play the Astros and guarantee that at least one of our collective nemeses will lose each of the next few days. […]
Walking away with two wins in four games against that very pesky and tough Guardians ballclub was a decent way to start the season. Even though the results didn’t exactly line up with their performance, there were a bunch of encouraging things we saw from the Mariners during Opening Weekend. The bottom of the lineup […]
For the third consecutive year, the Yankees have begun the season by sweeping their first series of the calendar. This year’s opening series was a tour de force of pitching, as Yankee hurlers held the Giants to just one run across all 27 innings of their time in the Bay. Now they head up to […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 5-4 (10) and L, 3-7 (7) at Buffalo Bisons — the seven-inning doubleheader rules in the minors didn’t stop Scranton and Buffalo from playing 10 in their doubleheader opener yesterday following Saturday’s postponement, and Max Schuemann’s double scored Oswaldo Cabrera in the top of the 10th before Danny Watson slammed the door […]
Editor’s note: We had some overnight internet issues, so we’re doing the shorter weekend format today. Thanks for understanding! Major League Baseball’s Opening Day weekend series have all come to an end, and the Yankees were one of just five teams to kick off the season with a sweep, joining the Blue Jays (sure), Dodgers […]
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: ($) How about a few early takeaways from series one? After chasing fewer pitches outside of the zone than any other team last season, the Yankees’ early success with ABS looks a sustainable advantage. After largely learning the position on the fly last year, Ben Rice looks more comfortable at […]
