Don’t Let the Big Man Beat You; The Genius of Ron Washington

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Baseball, MLB, Post Season, Yankees, tagged , , , on October 13, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Ron Washington’s decision to intentionally walk Miguel Cabrera with the bases empty in the bottom of the eighth was the kind of move that could have become infamous in postseason lore, especially after Victor Martinez singled him to third base with only one out. At the time, the move was roundly criticized, including by Joe […]

No Alex Rodriguez? No problem (at least for one game). Despite being without their red hot slugger, the Yankees lineup didn’t miss a beat. After falling behind early, the Bronx Bombers belted three more homeruns, pushing their major league leading total to 27. The decisive blow, however, wasn’t a long ball, but rather a clutch […]

Not Bad for Starters: Garcia Throws Six Shutout Innings, Wins Yankee Debut

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Baseball, Game Recap, MLB, Yankees, tagged , , on April 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Yesterday, the Yankees died by the double play. Today, it gave them new life. In a scenario eerily reminiscent of last Tuesday’s 5-4 loss to Minnesota, the Yankees took a substantial lead into the eighth inning, but watched as Rafael Soriano gradually frittered it away. With two runs already across the plate, Adrian Beltre lofted […]

Posted in Baseball, Game Recap, MLB, Yankees, tagged on April 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Normally, a field full of Mariano Riveras would be a Yankees fan’s dream, but on a night when baseball honored Jackie Robinson by having every player wear number 42, the team’s series opener against the Texas Rangers turned out to be a nightmare. Uniform numbers weren’t the only thing that had the Yankees seeing double. […]
