The Orioles come into the Stadium flying high after a rare weekend sweep of the Boston Red Sox. The first game of the series features a rematch of last Wednesday’s game in Baltimore, when C.C. Sabathia bested Jeremy Guthrie. An interesting subplot to the game will be Guthrie’s command, or lack thereof when pitching inside […]

Sox Fold Under Hughes’ Heat; Yanks Rebound With Another Series Win
Posted in Baseball, Game Recap, MLB, Yankees on May 2, 2010 | 3 Comments »
A day after the Kentucky Derby, everything came up roses for the Yankees. Phil Hughes busted out of the gate with the same mid-90s fastball that has allowed him dominate in the early going. Once again, Hughes pounded the strike zone by throwing 69 of his 99 pitches for strikes. He mostly used a well located fastball and […]

In the early going, Phil Hughes has been thrust into the odd position of being a stopper on a 15-8 ball club. You see, Hughes spot in the rotation has followed Javier Vazquez, which for the third time in his four starts means he is being called upon to help the team rebound from a […]

What started as a referendum on Javier Vazquez ended with even more questions about the curious managing of Joe Girardi. Despite a stirring sixth inning comeback, Javy’s poor pitching and Girardi’s managerial blunders were eventually too much for the Yankees overcome. After retiring the first two batters of the game, Vazquez surrendered a HR to long-time nemesis […]

Andy Pettitte’s evening began with two well placed bloopers by Alexei Ramirez and Gordon Beckham, which was a little disconcerting considering that everything this season seemed to be falling just right for the Yankees’ lefty. A hanging slider to Paul Konerko confirmed that change in karma, as the major league’s home run leader upped his […]
Cano Can Two

It takes a scalding hot hitter to overshadow a pitcher who throws 8 shutout innings, but that’s exactly what Robinson Cano did tonight in Baltimore. Cano belted out three more hits, including 2HRs and a double, to raise his average to .407. Incredibly, Cano’s most spectacular contribution wasn’t at the plate, but in the field. Leading off the […]

Tonight’s rubber game in Baltimore brings to an end one of the Yankees longest road stands of the season (they have another nine game swing in September). With a win, the Yankees would not only get back into the business of winning series, but also return home with a winning road trip. In order to […]
