Game 5 of the World Series: Open Tread
Clinching tonight? Well the top of the lineup has its work cutout for it. The Yankees lead baseball in runs scored this season with 915 in a large part because their offense is stacked one through nine, but the pressure will be laid on the top of the lineup as the Yankees put out one of ...
Real Story of AJ Burnett’s Stats on Short Rest
If you’ve read AJ Burnett’s stats on short rest on this blog or others you probably read this line: 4 G, 4-0 record, 2.33 ERA, 27 IP, 19 H, 2 HR, 10 BB, 24 K’s, 1.07 WHIP. That’s because it is easier to go to Baseball-Reference.com and pull up those numbers than to go through the game ...
Going on Short Rest
The Yankees will pitch CC Sabathia tonight on short rest and AJ Burnett tomorrow on short rest. Presumably, Andy Pettitte and Sabathia would pitch games 6 and 7 on short rest as well, if necessary. If you read this ESPN column by Gene Wojciechowski, he suggests the Yankees forgot to “buy” a 4th starter. While using ...

A-Rod and Swisher Turning Their World Series Around

Alex Rodriguez and Nick Swisher entered last night’s game a combined 0-for-11 with seven strikeouts against the Phillies in the World Series, but they finally broke out last night as they were a big part of the Yankees grabbing a 2-1 lead. A-Rod reached base four times last night as he hit a two-run home run, ...
Stadium Open Tonight for Game 4
The Yankees opened their stadium for a viewing of one of the road games of the ALCS while the Bombers were on the road in California. It was so successful that they are doing it again tonight for game 4 of the World Series while the Yanks are on the road in Philly and best ...
Homer-happy Yankees Take 2-1 Series Lead

The once quiet World Series sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Nick Swisher broke out of their slumps in a big way to surge the Yankees past the Phillies 8-5 in Game 3. Quick ‘Cap: Jayson Werth’s first of two homers sparked a two-run rally in the second inning, but the Yankees retaliated in innings 4-8. ...

Starting Burnett Still the Right Move
Great News! Blanton, Not Lee, To Start Game 4
The Yankees got some great news today when Phillies manager Charlie Manuel announced that he will use right handed pitcher Joe Blanton and not left handed ace Cliff Lee in game 4 of the World Series according to the AP. “I don’t think he’s ready for it on three days’ rest,” Manuel said. “I think you’re ...
Yankees Already in a Hole
The Yankees suffered their first Game 1 loss of the postseason last night, as the Phillies padded their lead late en route to a 6-1 victory. Starter CC Sabathia was hurt by two solo shots from Chase Utley, while Cliff Lee went the distance allowing just one unearned run. Once Sabathia had left, the close game ...
Observations from a Frustrating Loss
–Cliff Lee was great, but the Yankees also did a bad job of capitalizing on the pitches they did have to hit. Too many weak pop ups and weak ground balls to their pull sides. The batters mostly seemed to be dropping their shoulders (Nick Swisher) or getting pull happy (Alex Rodriguez) and it made ...
