In the wake of Boston extending Clay Buchholz, I couldn’t help but think about the healthy number of young, good-to-excellent starting pitchers across baseball that have seen their teams jump to extend them prior to hitting free agency these last few years, and that the Yankees have remained noticeably absent from this practice.
The [...]
It seems like the Yankees have to make the trek up to Fenway Park in April every season, and indeed, the Bombers have had a tilt at Fenway in April during six of the last eight years. This is rather unfortunate, as for whatever reason they have a tendency to play some of their worst [...]
I’ve been trying my best to paint a rosy picture around the Yankees’ recent struggles, but even I’m finding my patience getting a bit tested, following the Yankees’ 7-3 loss to Boston, their fourth straight at home. Not that I expected the Yankees to actually beat , [...]
This game was decided early. was inefficient in the early innings, and was lucky to keep the Red Sox to only 2 runs on what seemed like 60 pitches in the opening frames. meanwhile kept the Yankees from recording their first hit until the 5th inning. The Yankee [...]
At the present moment, only two pitchers in the American League have a higher WAR than and his jaw-dropping 4.2: (5.1!) and (4.3).
Before I go too much further, I have to admit that I’ve been a huge Lester fan [...]
Looks like I may have spoken a bit too soon in gushingly praising A.J. Burnett. While almost every Yankee fan was likely waiting for the other shoe to drop with Burnett after such a sterling stretch of outings, it sure would’ve been great had it been a flip flop [...]
AJ Burnett has the reputation for being able to throw a no-hitter or a complete bomb every time he takes the mound. His stuff is excellent but often unpredictable. If he locates his fastball and can command his “hook”, as he likes to call it, then batters beware. If he can’t, then he sometimes gets [...]
Even if they didn’t want to admit it, many Yankee fans likely wrote Friday night’s game off as a loss before a pitch was tossed. Lefty Jon Lester, who has been one of the best pitchers in the American League this year, against Joba Chamberlain, who has the potential to be even better than Lester [...]
-When I say ‘Joba Rules’, I mean it in the way he pitched last night, not referring to his innings limits. His final line looks just OK, but watching him pitch last night we saw Joba on top of his game. Good tempo, throwing strikes, fastball regularly touching 94-95 MPH. Unlike prior outings, most of [...]
Has anyone else noticed that Clay Buchholz has quietly emerged as a quality, reliable starter for the Red Sox? In his last ten starts he’s only given up three earned runs more than once, with the shortest outing being a 4 2/3 effort in which he gave up 7 runs to the White [...]
