Yankees Mailbag: The aftermath of another Rivalry victory
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: Was that fun or what? Share some of your feelings about the […]
Our first month with the SB Nation app broke our commenting records
A month ago we announced the release of our new app, which you can find here or by searching SB Nation in your neighborhood app store. Quite a few of you have downloaded it over the past month, and it’s been so great to hear positive feedback from our new users. The goal with this […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Spec Shea
Gifted at birth with a father who was a semiprofessional pitcher, Francis Joseph O’Shea (the O’ was later dropped) spent his childhood hearing about how he would be a pitcher in the major leagues someday. A Yankees fan since childhood, Shea’s father would take his son to games in the Bronx each chance they got, […]
MLB Playoff Roundup: Braves advance to NLDS showdown with Dodgers
With Major League Baseball’s current postseason format, there’s always a chance that the Thursday of Wild Card Series Week is a universal offday. The sample is only so large, but the best-of-three format has not produced many series that have gone the distance — such as it were, as three is hardly much of a […]
Yankees must stay away from Trent Grisham in center in the ALDS
Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham has been nursing right hamstring issues since the summer. Two injured list stints and many missed games later, the problem appears to be mostly behind him, as he was activated on time for the AL Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox. We say ‘mostly’ because, even though the Yankees […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 10/2/26
After a glorious playoff win against the Red Sox, the Yankees basked in a glorious offday. In a parallel universe, we may have been sweating out a do-or-die Game 3 against Boston, but in this universe, the Yankees left no doubt, pounding their rivals and giving themselves a chance to enjoy a full reset before […]
Yankees news: Anatomy of an offensive explosion
New York Post | Mark W. Sanchez: The biggest surprise of the Wild Card Series sweep over the Red Sox was the 18 combined runs scored by the Yankees, not a team known for scoring when Aaron Judge is on the shelf. The way New York put up those runs was surprising too, with a […]
How to watch Yankees vs. Rays in ALDS: Start times, channels, and more
Thanks to a pair of emphatic victories over the rival Red Sox in the American League Wild Card Series, the Yankees punched their ticket to their eighth Division Series in the past decade. The parameters of how to get to the ALDS have evolved some since that streak began in 2017 (when they won a […]
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: ALDS preview
The Yankees are on their way to Tampa after making quick work of the Red Sox in the Wild Card Series. It’s only fitting that their next hurdle takes the form of the team that edged them for the division title—just like last year. The Tampa Bay Rays own the Junior Circuit’s top regular season […]
Cam Schlittler continues Red Sox feud after Wild Card Series win
It was always inevitable that Cam Schlittler would continue his feud with Red Sox fans and Boston-based media outlets. Following the blowout 9-2 win on Wednesday night that clinched the Yankees’ slot in the ALDS, Schlittler was easy to find in the comments on the Yankees’ celebratory social media post. The Walpole, Massachusetts native had […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Cam Schlittler (9/29)
Well that’s how you win a playoff series! The Yankees swept aside an inferior Red Sox squad, outscoring their opponents, 17-2, in two games in the Bronx. They are set for a date with the Rays in what should be a thrilling ALDS. However, before we get to that, we get to introduce our first […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Roberto Kelly
The 1990 season was not a banner year for the Yankees. The team lost 95 games, the most in their entire history (if you don’t count some moribund Highlanders squads around the turn of the previous century). Their manager, Bucky Dent, made it through only 49 games before getting the boot. Don Mattingly, struggling with […]
MLB Playoff Roundup: Alec Bohm’s 10th-inning homer forces Game 3 against Braves
What a way to sweep the Red Sox out of the playoffs! The Yankees brushed aside their inferior opponents, winning the two games by a combined score of 18-2. Every facet of their game was clicking — plate discipline, slug, bat-to-ball, two-strike hitting, situational hitting, base running, defense, and of course, starting pitching. It’s a […]
Yankees’ homegrown core represents the backbone of their postseason run
Game 1 of the AL Wild Card series between the Yankees and Red Sox was, at one point, much closer than the final 9-0 score suggests. It wasn’t until the seventh inning that New York was able to build a three-run lead over their archrivals. Turns out that given how dominant starting pitcher Cam Schlittler […]
ALWCS Game 2 Player of the Game: Luis Garcia Jr.
It doesn’t get much better than The Rivalry, especially in postseason baseball. Having this series for the second year in a row is a true treat for the game of baseball, even if this one was much less cinematic than the last one. There’s something poetic about a guy making his postseason debut in this […]
The Yankees made quick work of their ALDS warm-up
You can’t take anything for granted in the playoffs, especially a short series like the Wild Card. In the short time that it has existed, the Wild Card Series has humbled several teams that stood a head above the rest of the first-round field by record, and it’s had a habit of favoring teams that […]
Yankees news: Clarke Schmidt shut down for the season
CBS Sports: Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt tried his best, but the timing just wasn’t right. According to manager Aaron Boone, the former first-round draft pick will be shut down for the rest of the postseason as he couldn’t quite recover from his right biceps neuritis, the injury that landed him on the list before the […]
Yankees ride balanced attack, advance to ALDS with Game 2 throttling of Red Sox
Let’s not beat around the bush—the Yankees didn’t. You could not have scripted a better two games than the pair the Bronx Bombers produced in this season’s Wild Card series rematch with the Red Sox. In both games, magnificent starting pitching blazed a trail through which the lineup ably followed. In both games, a late […]
AL Wild Card Series Game 2: Max Fried vs. Sonny Gray
In the words of a Yankee legend, it was dèja vu all over again in the Bronx last night as Cam Schlittler continued crafting a legend of his own. Just like last season, Schlittler delivered a gem of a performance against the Red Sox in the Wild Card Series, staking New York to a 1-0 […]
It has been quite a run for RailRiders in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
It began April 4, 2013, with the first pitch from Vidal Nuño to Pawtucket’s Brock Holt. It ended Sept. 19, 2026, when Stephen Jones of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp uncorked a wild pitch with Kenedy Corona batting, enabling Yanquiel Fernandez to score the winning run from third base. In between, there have been a lot […]
Yankees announce record-breaking lineup for AL Wild Card Series Game 2
The lineup for the Wild Card Series elimination game is set, and the Yankees are making headlines by starting eight left-handed hitters, not including switch-hitters, for the first time in MLB postseason history. Ben Rice takes the leadoff spot after a record-breaking Game 1 performance against the Red Sox. He went 4-for-5 with two home […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Johnny Allen
Sometimes it is easy to forget that professional athletes are human. They all have lives outside of their jerseys and had a journey to get to the biggest stage. Some players’ paths to the majors stand out from others. Johnny Allen has one of those stories that feels too human to be a professional athlete, […]
MLB Playoff Roundup: Austin Riley’s blast stuns Phillies
Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series couldn’t have gone much better for the Yankees. On the mound, Cam Schlittler was excellent, blanking the Red Sox for 6.1 impressive innings. Then, led by Ben Rice, the Yankees’ offense plated nine runs, pulling away from Boston to go up 1-0 in the series. Yesterday wasn’t […]
AL Wild Card Series Game 2 Preview: New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox
After taking the first game of the series in dominant fashion, the Yankees look to take care of business tonight in the Bronx. The Bombers hand the ball to veteran lefty and ace Max Fried. What can Fried do to follow up on Schlittler’s gem in the opener and send Boston home for the winter? […]
Cam Schlittler, Ben Rice share Player of the Game honors for Yankees’ playoff opener
Last year, Cam Schlittler put in one of the most memorable Yankees’ playoff pitching performances of the century in Game 3 of the AL Wild Card Series against the Red Sox. With the series tied at one and everything at stake, he went eight innings, striking out 12 batters while scattering a couple hits and […]
