New York Yankees vs. Cleveland Guardians: Series Preview
Photo by: 2021 George Kubas/Diamond Images via The Yankees journey to Cleveland for the first time since April 2021. After losing the make-up game last night in Houston, the Yankees are now in Cleveland, still at the start of one of their longest road trips of the year. Next up are showdowns in Pittsburgh and Boston, but this weekend, the Yankees must contend with a Guardians team that has played better than anticipated. The popular pick to finish third in the AL Central this year after stumbling to an 80-82 record in 2021, the Guardians have rebounded from a 7-12...

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Guardians stun Twins again, Jays down the Rays
Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports Cleveland shocked the Twins for the second straight day, while the Blue Jays moved into second in the AL East. It was a light day of action across MLB, as it often is with many teams typically traveling on Thursdays. The Yankees were one of the teams in play, as they work through an awkward part of their schedule that had them play in New York, in Houston, and in Cleveland on three consecutive days. They dropped that one game against the Astros, offering up the rare opportunity for their rivals to close the enormous gap in the AL East ever so...

Today on Pinstripe Alley - 7/1/22
Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports The Yankees turn around quickly after a stop in Houston. The Yankees and Astros really only play playoff games. New York made an odd one-day stop in Houston, and dropped a nail-biter 2-1. They travel to Cleveland for a three-game set today, where they likely will play at least one game that doesn’t involve no-hit bids, dramatic walk-offs, or both. On the site, Andrew previews the series in Cleveland and runs our latest GM poll, while Josh ruminates on Aaron Judge’s walk-off hits and the notion of value in baseball. Also Sam kicks off...

NYY News: Judge to start All-Star Game
Photo by Mike Stobe/ Judge makes fourth All-Star Game; Chapman set to return; Yankees will seek outfield help NJ.com | Brendan Kuty: After being the leading vote-getter in the American League, Yankees’ outfielder Aaron Judge, who entered Thursday’s game with 29 home runs and a 178 wRC+, officially made his fourth All-Star Game and will be a starter. In fact, Judge led all players with a whopping 3,762,498 total votes. Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Atlanta Braves was the other player who made the Midsummer Classic in the first phase by virtue of leading the National...

Yankees 1, Astros 2: Bats go quiet in quick stop in Houston
Photo by Bob Levey/ Luis Severino gave the Yankees a good outing, but they couldn’t take advantage and dropped the first game of their road trip. Despite getting a series split back in Yankee Stadium, the Yankees spent most of the four-game set against the Astros trailing. One of the losses was a no-hitter and the two wins required two remarkable late-inning comebacks. Wins are wins, and the box score doesn’t have pictures. If they did though, the pictures wouldn’t be the most flattering. Less than a week later, the Yankees took on Houston again, and the Astros’...

All-Star Game: Judge to start; Stanton, Trevino advance to Phase 2
Photo by Jim McIsaac/ Vote for Jose Trevino and Giancarlo Stanton to join Judge at Dodger Stadium Major League Baseball announced the results of Phase 1 of their annual All-Star Game voting, and we already know one Yankee who has his ticket punched to Los Angeles. It will come as a shock to precisely no one, except for maybe that mound of ants I saw hiding under a rock earlier today. Aaron Judge has been absolutely phenomenal in a potential walk year for the Yankees, leading the major leagues with 29 homers in just 74 games while batting .290/.365/.636 with a 1.001 OPS...

NYY @ HOU: Luis Severino vs. Luis Garcia
Photo by Bob Levey/ The Yankees are in Houston for a quick little one-game stop. Yesterday, the Yankees wrapped up their homestand on a high, beating the Athletics to complete a sweep. Tonight, they’re headed back on the road, starting it with a weird one-game stop in Houston. The reason for the mini one-game “series” is that these teams were set to play in April on the originally 2022 schedule, which had to be shifted around due to the owners’ lockout that delayed the season by a week. As a result, they’re set to play Houston today and then return on July...

Is Isiah Kiner-Falefa really the best starting shortstop on the active roster?
Photo by Adam Hunger/ Figuring out how to get the most value out of the shortstop position When I watch Isiah Kiner-Falefa play shortstop, I’m reminded of Edwin Starr’s No. 1 hit cover from 1970. You know, the one that goes: “War IKF. Huh! Yeah! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!” Am I being unkind? Maybe. But no more unkind than the Yankees subjecting their viewers to IKF’s daily blunders at the plate and in the field. In all seriousness, with each passing day it becomes harder and harder to justify rolling out IKF as the everyday shortstop when the...

Ron Marinaccio throws a unicorn changeup
Gregory Fisher-USA TODAY Sports The rookie right-hander’s changeup is unlike any other in the world. I bet that you didn’t know who Ron Marinaccio was going into the 2022 MLB season. That’s because you don’t typically find career-long minor league relievers that high up on prospect lists. In fact, unless you’re following a team’s organization from top to bottom, this is the type of player who you sometimes don’t hear about until you find them high up a leaderboard when you’re scrolling through a site like FanGraphs. Well, you should get to know Ron...
