Yankees Offense Continues to Crumble; Are Hal and Cashman Ready (and Willing) for Plan B?

Posted in Baseball, Brian Cashman, Hal Steinbrenner, MLB, Yankees on June 14, 2013 | 1 Comment »

The Bronx Bombers’ offense continues to make history this season, just not the kind Yankee fans have come to expect. Scoring two runs in 18 innings has not been a problem for the 2013 Yankees. The team has already had two sets of consecutive games with either zero or one run scored, compared to no […]

Finding the Right Fit for Hole in Yankees’ Outfield

Posted in Baseball, Brian Cashman, MLB, Roster Analysis, Trades, Yankees on June 12, 2013 | 1 Comment »

(The following was originally published at SB*Nation’s Pinstriped Bible) The 2013 Yankees are giving new meaning to the word “out”field. In the team’s first 64 games, hitters occupying the three outfield positions have combined to post an unimpressive line of .258/.309/.401, which, in terms of OPS, ranks as not only one of the worst rates in […]

Bud Selig’s Legacy at Stake with Biogenesis

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Arod, Baseball, MLB, PEDs, Yankees on June 5, 2013 | 3 Comments »

Air tight investigations don’t rely on leaks. Such a tactic is more typically born of desperation, a word that seems charitable when describing Bud Selig’s dogged pursuit of the dozens of players allegedly linked to Biogenesis. Commissioner Selig was probably hoping the Mitchell Report would purify the stains to his legacy caused by the rampant […]

No Hard Feelings for Swisher, but Yankees Left with Regret

Posted in Baseball, Hal Steinbrenner, MLB, Yankees on June 4, 2013 | 1 Comment »

(The following was originally published at SB*Nation’s Pinstriped Bible) “No Hard Feelings.” In his return to the Bronx, that’s how Nick Swisher described his departure. With most players, such a magnanimous response might seem like a poorly veiled cliché, but not so with Swisher. Hard feelings are not a part of his ebullient emotional repertoire. Just because the […]

Does Another Step Back from Hughes Mean Yankees Should Move Forward Without Him?

Posted in Baseball, MLB, Statistical Analysis, Yankees on June 3, 2013 | 3 Comments »

Among the many disappointments from a frustrating week of Yankees baseball was another step backwards by Phil Hughes. Of course, that’s not to say it shouldn’t have been expected. Although the right hander’s inconsistency can be maddening for Yankee fans, that’s more their fault than his. In his six-plus years on the mound, Hughes has […]

Not So Fast: CC Sabathia Turns Up Heat, but Can He Sustain It?

Posted in Baseball, MLB, PitchFX, Red Sox, Yankees on June 1, 2013 | Leave a Comment »

(The following was originally published at SB*Nation’s Pinstriped Bible) The Yankees’ series opener against the Red Sox was supposed to be about the return of Mark Teixeira and Kevin Youkilis to the lineup, but the big story turned out to be CC Sabathia’s re-emergence on the mound. Sabathia’s previous start had been one of his worst […]

Are The Yankees Playing With House Money?

Posted in Baseball, Hal Steinbrenner, MLB, Statistical Analysis, Yankees on May 30, 2013 | 1 Comment »

Because the Yankees have done well despite suffering several significant injuries, many have dismissed the team’s recent struggles. After all, if you had asked him on Opening Day, Joe Girardi probably would have signed up for .500 at this point in the season, the argument goes, so at 30-22, the Yankees are still way ahead […]
