Yankees prefer not to go “outside” to replace CC, Pettitte

Posted on June 28, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

It happened so fast. One minute the Yankees rotation was fine and the next minute CC Sabathia and Andy Pettitte are both on the disabled list. If you had predicted that yesterday, I wouldn't have bought it, but yet here it is. CC is expected to miss at least two starts, Pettitte at least two ...

Thoughts on the final game of the Subway Series

Posted on June 25, 2012 by Nick Fleder

So, about that pitching duel… C.C. Sabathia wasn’t very sharp with his pitches, and R.A. Dickey wasn’t very sharp with his command… There were 19 hits in what seemed to be billed as the duel of the year… There were five errors, two big home runs, and a combined Game Score of 82 for the ...

A statistical look at the Yankees rotation’s great run

Posted on June 20, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

The Yankees winning streak ended at 10 games last night, but the Yankees have still won 20 out of their last 25 and the starting pitching has been the biggest reason. Literally every one of them has been great lately and last night they reached a landmark that they haven't reached since 1981 - every starter ...

Which Yankees deserve an All-Star game nod?

Posted on June 8, 2012 by Chris Barca

In typical Yankees fashion, a flip of the calendar from one month to the other means a complete 180 degree turn in the team’s play.  After a month where the Yankees went just 17-14, lost three games in a row three different times, and seemingly went one-for-a billion with runners in scoring position, June has ...

5 Things We Learned About the Yankees in 2012

Posted on June 2, 2012 by Mark Panuthos

There are some things a man just knows.  Old people (37 years and beyond) can’t play baseball, can’t hit for average, and can’t rank in the top ten in any offensive category (except maybe strike-outs).  There is an inverse relationship between the amount of tattoos on a pitcher’s throwing arm and his ERA. Hitting with ...

Starting rotation will still prove to be a strength for the Yankees

Posted on May 30, 2012 by Greg Corcoran
CC Sabathia

Any other team would be in trouble right now. The Yankees had exactly one pitcher they could rely on the first month of the season, and even he started slow out of the gate. One pitcher suffered a torn labrum. Another, an aging veteran one year rental, couldn't get an out. Another more expensive veteran ...

Starting pitching woes: it’s not time to panic

Posted on May 24, 2012 by Curtis Clark

Through 26 percent of the season, the Yankees starting pitchers’ earned run average (ERA) sits at a whopping 4.88. That’s good for the 26th worst earned run average in the league. There are four teams with ERA's worse than that of the Yankees. The list, accompanied by their records, is: Kansas City (4.92, 17-25), Boston ...

Contracts Can Kill: CC Sabathia

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Mark Panuthos

CC Sabathia's performance against the Orioles last Tuesday night was awful.  Not Kid-Rock-ripping-off-“Sweet-Home-Alabama”-awful, but awful by Sabathia standards.  He walked four and gave up four runs in six innings.  On the other hand, Robinson Cano should have been charged with one of those runs on his error that put Robert Andino on second and allowed ...
