Didi Gregorius had a good game despite leaving five runners at base. He went 2 for 4 as he legged out an infield hit and singled to right field. Michael Pineda earned the win even though he didn’t have his best stuff yesterday. In 5.2 innings he allowed three runs on seven hits. He also…
The Yankees lost to the Orioles 4-3 and C.C. Sabathia gave up all the runs that the O’s scored. To me the most important thing was that Didi Gregorius got a basehit out of three at bats and that he scored a run. Unfortunately he committed one fielding error (his first of the season) but…
Once again the Yankees trailed most of the game but a four run seventh inning (thanks to a grand slam homerun hit by Stephen Drew), saved the game for them as they beat the Orioles 6-5. Didi Gregorius left three runners on base as he went 0 for 4 with a strikeout. Despite striking out…
Game one of the three game series between the Red Sox and the Yankees, was a good game. Exciting, and both teams refused to give in until the very last end. Too bad that the Bosox took it by one run after nineteen innings. I am not acting like I don’t care. Every loss vs the…
Once again, several Dutchies showed their defensive capabilities. It shows once more that the Dutch have a shortstop overload. The Red Sox needed two games to beat, what many call “the Nursery home. The Bosox took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning and extended it with two runs in the top of the…
Another game, another loss for the Yankees. With C.C. Sabathia on the mound the Blue Jays scored five runs (one earned). In fact it was the famous disastrous inning early in the game that cost the Yankees the game. The Blue Jays did not really outhit the Yankees; Toronto collected only one hit more than…
The Yankees won their first game of the season by beating the Blue Jays 4-3 and are still on track for a 161-1 record. 😉 Michael Pineda pitched six strong innings in which he allowed two runs on six hits. He walked one and struck out six. Nevertheless he got a no-decision as the Yankees…
In an interview with Fox sports, Yankees Opening Day starter, Masahiro Tanaka stated that he will throw less heat this year. He has been trying to add another pitch to his repertoire and he claims that he will throw more two seam fastballs than four seam fastballs, which will bring down the velocity automatically. Of…
First of all I’d like to wish you all a happy Easter. Today a rather short report because hardly any Dutchies saw action yesterday. Yesterday, the very last Spring Training games were played. Today the season will officially start in Chicago, where the arch rivals Cardinals and Cubs will face each other in a Wrigley…
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…
