I have been mulling all afternoon if I should write something about Yogi Berra’s passing. A bit cheap to write about it as all other baseball websites wrote about it already. But on the other hand, as a Yankee fan I should spend some words on it. Berra signed with the Yankees in 1943 while serving…
So far the Yankees have done a lot better than many, including me expected. Most fans and experts expected the team to finish near last place. But much to my surprise, the team was a contender for the biggest part of the season. The Yankees have been a streaking team this year. Long winning streaks…
I have been looking forward to do this one. Not only because it is about my favorite team but most of all because it is about my favorite player on that team by far. Today in “Summing up the Dutchies per MLB organization”: Number of Dutchies: 1 Didi Gregorius: Didi Gregorius has the very same…
Last night C.C. Sabathia left the game in the third inning with one out to go. Once again he was bothered by knee problems. I guess you know that I haven’t been too high on Sabathia in the last seasons. He isn’t his old self. This showed early in the season. He tried a different…
After three starts, I’d like to take a look at Luis Severino. The Yankee prospect was called up early August and debuted with the Yankees on August 5. Through the years the Yankees had several prospects that were hyped in the media and who did not live up the expectations: Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain…
Several baseball websites state that the Yankees have shown interest for shortstop Jose Reyes, who was recently acquired by the Rockies in the Troy Tulowitzky trade. The other day it was announced that Reyes cleared waivers, so he can be traded to any team. And when news like that is vented, any newspaper and new…
This moring I read an article of the New York Post about the Yankees and their new policy regarding trading for players. Now the Yankees have lost six in a row, many fans hit the panic button and shout for Cashman’s release. The New York Post on the other hand has a different opinion. Of…
Last night C.C. Sabathia gave up five earned runs in the Yankees’ 7- 6 loss vs the Rangers. We all know that C.C. isn’t his old self for a couple of years now. Yesterday the news was spread around that Michael Pineda has been placed on the 15-day Disabled List with a forearm strain, an…
The Texas Rangers are certainly not one of the strongest teams this season, but a pummeling like last night could not be forseen. In a slugfest, the Yankees spanked the Rangers 21-5. Once again Didi Gregorius saw the ball very well. In the first inning the Yankees didn’t score yet and Chris Capuano showed his…
The week couldn’t have started any better for Didi Gregorius. In the opener of a four game series in Arlington (TX), he went 3 for 4 and drove in four runs of the total of six that the Yankees scored. It is no secret that Didi is seeing the ball well lately, but if my…
