Curtis Granderson’s return is nearing, as he will begin a minor league rehab assignment Thursday with the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre Yankees, according to Bryan Hoch. We don’t know an exact number of games or at-bats Granderson needs, but it’s likely he returns sometime next week. Early predictions seem to be falling on the doubleheader at [...]
For the first time this season, the player of the week honors will be shared between two Yankee hurlers, Phil Hughes (Player of the week from April 22-28) and Hiroki Kuroda (1st time honor). In a week where the Yankees played .500 baseball (3-3), the team was bolstered by two incredible outings from an aging veteran, [...]
The BronxPinstripes.com Player of the Week for week 2 of the 2013 season is Robinson Cano, and how appropriate that he is selected today on Jackie Robinson Day. After all, he is named after the Brooklyn Dodger great. Cano also wears numbers 24 in honor of Jackie Robinson (inverse of 42). After a slow first [...]
Baltimore Orioles 0 — New York Yankees 3 Hiroki Kuroda pitched an amazing game in tonight’s 3-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees turned to Hiroki Kuroda in the rubber game with the Baltimore Orioles and the choice could not have been better. In a clear dominant fashion, Kuroda twirled a complete [...]
New York Yankees 14 — Cleveland Indians 1 The Yankees put up 18 hits, including five home runs, in tonight’s 14-1 win over the Cleveland Indians. Andy Pettitte got tonight’s start looking to win again after eight strong against the Boston Red Sox. Tonight, he didn’t need to be sharp but he was [...]
Prior to tonight’s game against the Cleveland Indians, Brennan Boesch was seen working with Manager Joe Girardi and coach Mick Kelleher at first base, according to Mark Feinsand of the Daily News. Boesch, 27, a career outfielder, has never played at first base, even in the minor leagues. He did play some first at Cal Berkeley [...]
Threat Level: 9 The Blue Jays were the busiest team in baseball over the offseason, as they made a major overhaul to their roster heading into the 2013 season. Jose Reyes, R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, Melky Cabrera, and Emilio Bonifacio to name the big moves. These moves have created enormous buzz heading [...]
Houston Astros 4 — New York Yankees 4 [10 Innings] The Yankees overcome an early deficit and end tonight’s game in a 4-4 tie with the Houston Astros. Opening Day starter CC Sabathia had his last warmup of the Spring and started with struggles but settled down to put together five innings of [...]
Threat Level: 6 The White Sox were projected to finish in last place in 2012 by many pundits, yet they almost won the division if it not for a sub-par September (13-18; 4-11 in the final 15 games). First year manager Robin Ventura definitely got the most out of his team and will need to [...]
New York Yankees 1 — Miami Marlins 6 The Yankees lost to the Miami Marlins by a score of 6-1. Adam Warren started today’s game for the Yankees and did not do as bad as his statistics show. In 4 innings, Warren gave up four runs on six hits but three of the [...]
Atlanta Braves 2 — New York Yankees 0 The first night of Spring Training didn’t go too bad despite losing 2-0 to the Atlanta Braves. David Phelps started tonight and went 4 innings as he competes for a spot in the starting rotation. A leadoff double would go on to score in the [...]
New York Yankees 5 — Boston Red Sox 2 The Yankees committed two errors but the two errors by the Red Sox were big in today’s 5-2 win. The first error committed by the Red Sox came in the 6th inning with one on base already. This would be a part of the [...]
Toronto Blue Jays 3 — New York Yankees 10 Ivan Nova pitched 2 scoreless innings in today’s 10-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, ending their 7-game losing streak…in Spring Training. Brett Gardner should start the season right now. The speedy outfielder got 2 hits today, getting a hit in all 5 of [...]
Toronto Blue Jays 1 — New York Yankees 0 One run is all you need to win in today’s 1-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Brett Gardner (6 for 11, .545) and Ichiro Suzuki (5 for 8, .556) continue to look well-prepared for the season to start already, with each getting a [...]
Baltimore Orioles 10 — New York Yankees 7 Five errors prove costly in today’s 10-7 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Brett Gardner continues to hit the baseball all over the field with a bases-loaded triple, bringing 3 runs in a 4-run 2nd inning. He is currently hitting .625 (5 for 8) in 3 [...]
The 2013 baseball season is still very young, but it seems as though it’s starting off the same way it ended in 2012, in shambles. When Derek Jeter had to be helped off the field near the end of the Yankees playoff run last year, it perfectly summarized how the entire season played out for [...]
New York Yankees 1 — Baltimore Orioles 5 Brett Gardner found success in today’s 5-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. The only (likely) guaranteed starter for the Yankees Opening Day that came with the team today is Brett Gardner and it showed in the offense. Brett Gardner went 3 for 3 with 2 [...]
The Bronx Bombers. A name that has always been appropriate when talking about the New York Yankees and their propensity for hitting the long ball. However, 2013 might be more Bronx Bunters than Bronx Bombers. Okay, that might be a bit of a stretch, but do not expect this team to resemble teams of [...]
Cross another name off the list, as Scott Hairston has signed a two-year deal with the Chicago Cubs worth $6 million, according to sources with knowledge of the negotiations. Hairston was looked at by the Yankees, Mets and Braves before his signing in the windy-city. In what has been a stange offseason for GM Brian [...]
