The AL Central 4th place 22-31 Royals play at home on Memorial Day against the 31-22 Yankees, who are in 2nd place in the AL East behind the Rays. I was at the game yesterday and got to see all the good parts. I skipped the bad parts at the end to go home. In […]

The last time the Royals beat the Yankees was on October 7, 2024 – Game 2 of the American League Divisional Series. The Royals dropped the last two games of that series, and have not won a regular season game against the Bronx Bombers since in nine tries. They were swept in New York against […]
The New York Yankees have had over 1,700 players play for the organization since its first season in 1901. Oddly enough, one of the repeated names in that history is Bobby Brown. You are never the other Bobby on your birthday, so to get that out of the way early this is not about Dr. […]
Thanks to some ninth-inning Aaron Judge heroics, the Yankees handed their most important rival of 2026 a loss on Sunday. The Yanks’ 2-0 win over Tampa Bay narrowed the latter’s lead atop the American League East to 4.5 games and handed the Rays only their second loss in their last dozen games. More Tampa losses […]
The Yankees’ weekend series against the Rays had plenty of buildup and ultimately left us with a taste of wanting more, as a postponement on Saturday prevented either team from actually gaining a game on the other in the AL East. All the excitement of Aaron Judge’s walk-off, two-run blast on Sunday would have been […]

New York Post | Dan Martin: Before Sunday’s victory, the Yankees were mired in a 4-10 slide that dropped them 5.5 games behind the Rays in the AL East. Despite this, the Yankees’ manager expressed optimism that Saturday’s rainout could be an inflection point. “I think it will serve us well,’’ said Aaron Boone of […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! This wasn’t one of the best weeks of the season, as the Yankees decided to start their June Swoon early this year with a couple of bad stretches of baseball in the month of May. Thanks in […]
The Rays absolutely had their chances to win this game to wrap up a five-day and two-game road trip, but bad baserunning in multiple innings left the club scoreless to set up an Aaron Judge walk-off home run in the 9th. The game for the Rays came down to two innings – the 3rd and […]
Just when it looked like the Yankees’ offensive malaise would lead to a fourth consecutive loss, the Captain rose to the challenge in the bottom of the ninth. Trent Grisham fought back from down 0-2 to draw the full-count leadoff walk, and Aaron Judge called game, crushing a first-pitch inside sinker to the opposite field […]

The rainout on Saturday might have come at a perfect time for a Yankees team that has looked mentally defeated the last three days. They’ve scored just a trio of runs across their last 30 innings. The pitching has held up their end of the bargain, limiting Toronto and Tampa Bay to a combined eight […]
When going through the annals of baseball history, there are very few players who are idolized as much as Bartolo Colón. Not only did he come from a poor background in a foreign country (albeit one known for producing incredible baseball players), but he also wasn’t built like the average ballplayer. He wasn’t 6-foot-5 and […]
The Yankees were inactive on Saturday, not because the schedule had them sitting on the couch but because the weather didn’t feel like complying. With the Rays also washed out alongside them, the top of the AL East was inactive for the field to play catch up to. Toronto Blue Jays (25-27) 5, Pittsburgh Pirates […]
One of the curses of such a long season, and this is true for all levels of teams, is the incessant tinkering one might be prone to do, trying to optimize a team’s performance. As we comb through the Yankees’ offense and potential avenues of improvement, one that inevitably stands out is the improved production […]

We received a small blessing in not seeing the Yankees blowing another game yesterday, as they were rained out before it could even get underway. Now facing a two-game set with the postponed game pushed way out to September, they’ll look to lock down a split with Ryan Weathers on the mound (and ideally, the […]
FOX Sports | Deesha Thosar: Gerrit Cole made his triumphant return to the mound on Friday. After missing all of last season and the start of this one as he recovered from Tommy John surgery, the former Cy Young Award winner needed only 72 pitches to keep the AL-best Rays off the board through six […]

San Diego Padres catcher Rodolfo Durán signed with the Friars in January of 2025 as a minor league free agent after playing in the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals organizations after signing with the Phillies in 2014.

Back in August, I began a series here at Pinstripe Alley where I was going to put together an All-Star Yankee team of players who were born in a given month. Since then, we as a staff have started doing daily posts for the year 2026, highlighting a Yankee from history whose birthday happens to land on that […]
Baseball history is full of managers who are famous for all sorts of reasons. Some are known for their unmatched success, others for their failures, and some for a particular moment or antics. Buck Showalter’s story is like that of most ballplayers. He never made it to the majors as a player and after his […]
The Yankees will have to wait another day to snap out of their divisional funk. They dropped back-to-back contests against the Blue Jays earlier this week to end the four-game set at Yankee Stadium in disappointing fashion, and a slim 1-0 lead against the first-place Rays in Gerrit Cole’s long-awaited comeback from Tommy John surgery […]
Not an ideal night. The Yankees’ main rival, at least in terms of the standings, won. Worse, they beat the Yankees. But hey, Gerrit Cole is back and looked great in his return. Unfortunately, he can’t do anything about a putrid Yankee offense. So on a pretty blah night of baseball, we have to take […]
