If you really sit back and think about it, a Spring Training battle for any position should mean absolutely nothing. Not only is the sample size absurdly small, but the results obtained are against lineups and/or pitching staffs that are either warming up or severely compromised because of split-squads, guys getting eased into things, etc. [...]
Maybe this is a post better saved for when the season actually ends, but I think a lot of these things are worth noting right now.
Regardless of how the postseason goes, when I think back to the 2011 regular season, the first thing I’ll think of is surprise. I didn’t think the Yankees [...]
once again made history Saturday afternoon in Toronto, throwing a perfect ninth inning to preserve the Yankees’ , earning his 601st career save in the process and tying for the all-time record.
That Mo was even in position to record the save was [...]
How come the Yankees couldn’t get this Weaver during that fateful trade nine years ago?
was masterful in this one, going eight strong innings, striking out 11 men and yielding only three hits and one run. Though he didn’t get the win, the Angels were able to Angel their way to [...]
What a difference a year makes, at least as far as the Yankees facing elite AL East southpaws goes.
In 2010, started against the Yankees 4 times and threw 25.1 innings of 6-run ball, and the Red Sox won three of his four starts.
In 2011, Jon Lester has also started [...]
This was the Baltimore’s been waiting for all season.
The young lefthander had the Yankees completely fooled with a filthy two-seamer ( and Michael Kay kept calling it a sinker, but Brooks has it as a two-seamer) that racked up an absurd -3.6007 linear weights, complemented by [...]
Last night, I had an excellent time at the Wood-n-Tap with some of my favorite fellow Yankee fanatics. We ate, we drank, we laughed, we mocked the bunt (along with anything else worth mocking), and generally chatted about all things baseball. It was a great time, especially as I haven’t had a chance to [...]
That the Yankees were even within a run of tying a game they really had no business winning was pretty impressive, though they’d ultimately fall to the A’s . Down 6-0 heading into the bottom of the eighth, stymied by A’s righty over seven shutout innings, this did not appear [...]
What’s up with Bart?
By Larry Koestler On August 18, 2011 · 9 Comments · In PitchFX, Player Analysis, Statistical Analysis
So it’s become pretty clear that post-DL isn’t quite the same pitcher he was pre-hamstring pull. This is not meant to be an indictment or a complaint about the way he’s pitched; I think most would agree he’s still given the Yankees way more than anyone could have expected. However, though [...]
So close.
The Yankees managed to load the bases in the ninth against Royals closer , making the righty throw 40 pitches and scoring a run in the process, but struck out looking with the bases loaded — on what should have been ball three — to [...]
