Five straight wins will do that, with New York now within 1.5 games of Tampa Bay and one off their highwater mark above .500 for the season. It’s times like these that the club’s stellar starting rotation feels so imposing; coming […]

Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. The idiot that said, “Harper is coming” asks: Did you have only five teams at or above .500 in the American […]

The Royals recalled reliever Eric Cerantola from Triple-A Omaha to replace him on the roster. Mears pitched on Wednesday, giving up two walks and two hits among the six Yankees […]
As much as some people seem to deny it, the Yankees’ player development has taken tremendous strides over the last several years and is generating value all throughout the 20 rounds that the team gets in each year’s MLB Draft. Every year, there’s a new prospect that seemingly comes out of nowhere to shoot up […]
We know it's May, but the Yankees need to get serious about preserving the left-handed pitcher.

I went to my second Kansas City Royals game of the season on Wednesday night. I was in great company and just love being at a live baseball game, I was as depressed about the team leaving Kauffman Stadium after a 7-0 loss at the hands of the New York Yankees as I have been […]
The 1947 World Series between the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers was littered with talent. The biggest name (for more reasons than just his incredible abilities on the baseball diamond) was Jackie Robinson. But there were also the people who some modern-day baseball fans might simply know from the movie 42 based on Robinson’s […]
Following a much-needed sweep of the Kansas City Royals, the Yankees enjoyed an off day on Thursday. They next head further west to take on the Athletics, who are very much in the American League’s playoff picture. The first place Rays were also off the schedule, though there were still games of note to take […]
We made it through another week A’s fans! Ready for a huge weekend of A’s baseball? The Yankees are in town and the series kicks off tonight in Sacramento. The Athletics just got swept for just the second time this season and have fallen out of first place so stacking up a couple wins against […]
Somewhat of a big deal has been made of the fact that the Yankees have built up their solid record so far mostly on the back of below .500 teams. That leaves them somewhat in an interesting conundrum this weekend. This weekend the Yankees will face the Athletics, who come in at 27-29. A Yankees’ […]

With Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón back in the Yankees’ rotation, a staff that began the year in flux (and excelled despite it) is beginning to settle in. Still, with Max Fried a ways off from returning, the odds that the team will need to dip into its depth at Triple-A, either for a spot […]
When the Yankees acquired David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates at last season’s Trade Deadline, he almost immediately stabilized the back end of the bullpen. After his first disastrous appearance with the team against the Marlins in early August, he allowed just 4 runs in 23 innings, striking out 33 and walking only 9, as […]
