A bit late. But better late than never. Due to health issues I will post a little bit les frequent in the coming days/weeks. The Yankees fell to the Blue Jays 4-2. The only regular big leaguers that collected a hit were Carlos Beltran (1 for 3 with a double) and Mark Teixeira who hit…
In a 4-1 victory over the TIgers, Didi Gregorius batted in the lead off position once again. He went 1 for 2 and his batting average jumped from a .100-ish to .200. In the third inning after Mason Williams hit a triple, Didi hit a sac fly to right field and recorded an RBI. In…
The Yankees left almost all big leaguers in Tampa when they headed to JetBlue Park to take on the Red Sox. The Sox on their turn started most of the Major Leaguers. Xander Bogaerts went 0 for 1, left a runner on base but drew a walk for the Sox. He grounded into an innning…
In a close game between the Yankees and the Braves, two Dutchies contributed to the score of their team. Andrelton SImmons went 1 for 3. He recorded the first two outs of the Yankees. Simmons himself grounded out to Didi Gregorius in his first at bat. In his first at bat (bottom 3rd), Gregorius belted…
Adam Warren gave up a homerun to the first batter that he faced, Michael Taylor of the Nationals. The Yankees tied it in the third when Bret Gardner drove in Jose Pirela with a single. Pirela on his turn drove in Brian McCann in the fourth to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead. After the…
The Yankees beat the Phillies 4-1, but the thing far more important to me was that Didi Gregorius got his first basehit as a Yankee. Didi went 1 for 3 with an RBI double and struck out once. He also left two runners on base. Once again he showed some nice defense, with a similar…
With spring training around the corner, I thought it would be nice to give an overview of Dutch and Netherlands Antillian players who play in the US at various levels. I will drag those players into the spotlight that play on MLB, AAA, AA, A Advanced, A Full Season, A Short Season and Rookie (Appalachian…
The regular MLB season is over. Most players are done, but a few are privileged that they can play in the playoffs. Xander Bogaerts Xander sat out the final game of the seaon in the dugout. This was a huge disappointment for him because he wanted to play in Derek Jeter’s last game (at Fenway…
It appears that the Dodgers don’t want to win the NL West pennant. Last night they lost again vs the Rockies: 16-2. Roger Bernadina got a pinch hit appearance but grounded out 3-1. The Giants inched a bit closer with their 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks. Boston lost with big numbers as well. The Pirates…
It looks like the Braves have lost it completely. Last night they lost from the team with the worst W-L record in MLB, the Texas Ranger: 3-10. Andrelton Simmons went 1 for 4 and left two runners on base. On the defensive side, Simmons was the initiator of two 6-4-3 double plays. Kenley Jansen clinched…
