New York Yankees: Can Domingo German keep this up?

New York Yankees vs. Kansas City Royals: J.A. Happ vs.
Let’s play two — weather permitting! After last night’s rainout, the Yankees are scheduled to play a doubleheader against the Royals today. We’ll see if the weather cooperates. For now, though, it looks like game one will proceed on time. J.A. Happ will start the afternoon portion, and he badly needs a good start. The left-hander owns a 5.16 ERA (5.71 FIP) over 52.1 innings. His last start saw him allow six runs against the Orioles. He’s served up home runs at a ridiculous rate (2.24 HR/9), so perhaps a reasonable goal for him today is to keep the ball in the park. Junis,...

The time the Yankees scored 10-plus runs in five straight games
Earlier this week, the Yankees scored 10+ runs in three straight games. Let’s go back nearly 80 years to look at the longest streak of that type. On Sunday, the Yankees dropped 13 runs on the Rays, thanks mostly to a seven-run sixth inning. That inning not only broke open a previously tied game, but propelled the Yankees back into first place in the AL East. On Monday, the Yankees trailed 6-1 to the lowly Orioles after four. Over the next couple innings, they slowly chipped away at that deficit. In the ninth, they scored four runs, capped off by a big Gary Sanchez home run, eventually...

The Yankees’ outfield defense has been quietly solid
Despite losing two quality defenders in Aaron Judge and Aaron Hicks to start the season, the Yankees’ outfield defense has held up nicely. The Yankees’ outfield was one of the team’s core strengths in 2018. Obviously, a large part of this can be attributed to Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks, and Giancarlo Stanton being terrifying hitters. In addition to that, however, the trio, along with Brett Gardner, have acquitted themselves quite nicely in the field as well. Hicks was known since his prospect days as a plus defender, with good range and a cannon of an arm in center field. Judge, too,...

The Yankees should not trade Clint Frazier
The young outfielder and former top prospect is the topic of trade talks, but the Yankees would be wise not to deal the budding star. Most of us are familiar with the saying, “Nothing is certain but death and taxes,” a phrase attributed to Benjamin Franklin. Everything about that, however, is wrong. For starters, while Franklin famously used this phrase in a letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy in 1789, the line has its origins — at least, as far as we can tell — in Christopher Bullock’s 1716 play The Cobbler of Preston. More importantly — and more relevantly, I might add — the quote...

How Gio Urshela is finding success with the Yankees
Gio Urshela went from a defensive specialist to a legitimate offensive threat this season for the Yankees There has been no greater surprise for the Yankees this season than Giovanny Urshela, the 27-year-old utility infielder who was acquired for cash considerations last August and has worked his way into the starting job at third base. Urshela, a career .225 batter entering 2019, is slashing .333/.383/.470 in 39 games this season and has been the definition of clutch since he was called up on April 6. Urshela’s breakout has been well documented, but what makes the current version of...
