C.C. Sabathia started the game vs the Nationals and six batters later he had given up three runs already. The the remaining 4.1 innings on he mound, he settled down, but once again this Spring Training he was tabbed with the loss (L 0-3). Perhaps the Yankees can trade Sabathia. I wonder if they will…
Yesterday’s game between the Rays and the Yankees looked like an April Fools joke. The story line was the Yankees’ ineptness to hit. In nine innings, the Yankees collected the whopping total of four basehits; only Brett Gardner, Carlos Beltran, Ramon Flores and Mark Teixeira got a hit. The pitching didn’t really do a bad…
On the last day of March, the Yankees fell to the Twins 3-1. Masahiro Tanaka allowed three runs on seven hits in 4.1 innings of work. He only struck out one batter. Tanaka claims that he didn’t throw full speed to save his arm for the season. I hope that he is not fooling us….
This is a bit of old news, but I totally missed it. Matt den Dekker is no longer a Met. The Mets traded him to the Washington Nationals in exchange for Jerry Blevins. The Nationals had a surplus of left handed relievers while they needed some outfield depth. Blevins was hit hard this spring and…
The Yankees were outslugged by the Orioles and fell 10-2. After missing the early part of the week to get dental work, Jonathan Schoop of the Orioles was pretty hot when going 2 for 4 with an RBI single and a two run double on a long fly ball into the left center field gap….
Masahiro Tanaka was hit hard in yesterday’s game vs the Mets. In 4.2 innings he allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits. But he struck out seven. His fastballs do not hit the high nineties that ofter so far. According to Tanaka that is because he is practicing on his two seamer and that…
Didi Gregorius went 1 for 3 with a double that scored Ramon Flores in New York’s 9-8 win over the Tigers. Esmil Rogers pitched a tough game in which he allowed five runs (one earned) on five hits in only three innings. Trailing 8-2 after the top of the seventh, the Yankees scored two in…
Against the Detroit Tigers the Yankees flexed their muscles with seven extra basehits, eleven runs on eleven hits in total. Jose Pirela hit a bases clearing triple in the first with runner on third and second. Rob Refsnyder hit his first homerun in the first inning and took Jose Pirela with him. A-Rod took him…
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…
