The New York Yankees’ defense betrayed them again on Monday, as a pair of errors from Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe led to a 4-1 defeat. Five walks from Carlos Rodon didn’t help either. New York now sits four games behind the Jays, and hopes giving the rookie the ball again will help. That’s right, … Continued

The New York Yankees took two in Atlanta ahead of a key series in Toronto, and this could be a series that decides a division…in August. The Blue Jays are on an absolute hot streak, having gone 28-13 since June 1. This, combined with the Yankees’ June swoon, allowed them to take over first place … Continued
“I remember really wanting to play baseball,” former Yankees pitcher Jim Abbott said over the phone last week. “My dad buying me a cheap glove down at the drugstore. I don’t think he saw a future in it.” Well, ten MLB seasons, four teams, and a no-hitter later? He didn’t just break the barrier, but … Continued
To say Max Fried and the start of his eight-year, $218 million pact with the Yankees has paid off is a good joke. The big lefty is 11-2 on the year with a stellar 2.27 ERA. Very easily an early favorite for the AL Cy Young. And on Saturday agains the Cubs, Fried will go … Continued
The New York Yankees upped their winning streak to four with a sweep of the Seattle Mariners, and now face a new challenge when the Chicago Cubs visit the Bronx this weekend. Craig Counsell, in his second year managing on the North Side, has the Cubbies are not only in first place, but own an … Continued
In case some of you forgot, I used to be a BIG DJ LeMahieu advocate. When the Yankees insisted on starting Troy Tulowitzki at shortstop to start 2019, I implored them to use the former batting champion as more than a backup infielder. Some injuries to other players and a Tulowitzki release later, LeMahieu was … Continued
Cam Schlittler is making his MLB debut under some solid circumstances. The Bronx Bombers are still 3.5 games behind the red-hot Blue Jays thanks to a recent cold stretch, but Monday gave some hope for the rest of the season. The Yankees dominated the Mariners 10-3 thanks to home runs from Giancarlo Stanton, Austin Wells, … Continued
The MLB All-Star teams have been announced for both leagues. Not surprisingly, New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto didn’t make the cut. Instead, the Mets will send first baseman Pete Alonso, shortstop Francisco Lindor, and closer Edwin Diaz to Atlanta. Additionally, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still very, very dead. Let’s be honest, folks. Juan Soto … Continued
The New York Yankees had a 3-1 lead going into the bottom of the sixth inning on Monday, and Mark Leiter Jr. might as well have been Murphy’s Law. Granted, starter Carlos Rodon started the inning and was yanked immediately after Davis Schneider’s double, and then Leiter got the ball. From then on, the wheels … Continued
Someone should have told the New York Mets back in April that the pride comes before the fall. The team is in the midst of an awful 3-13 stretch since June 13, but still only trails first-place Philadelphia by 1.5 games in the NL East. Normally, this wouldn’t be a red flag. The crosstown rival … Continued
The New York Yankees hope to get back to their regular slugging ways when they begin a four-game set against the Blue Jays in Toronto on Monday. It’s a more important series than people realize. Thanks to a June swoon, the Yankees only hold a three-game lead over third-place Toronto in the AL East. However, … Continued
Months of shoulder rehab and recovery later, Frankie Montas makes his New York Mets debut on Tuesday. New York signed the veteran righty to a one-year, $17 million option in the offseason, only for Montas to get injured early and not even appear in spring training. He now takes the mound after rehabbing his strained … Continued
Ryan Yarbrough’s oblique injury means a hole in the Yankees rotation. Thus, Triple-A righty Allan Winans will take the mound for his 2025 MLB debut in Cincinnati on Monday. These two teams have an interesting history. New York and Cincy have faced off in the World Series three times, with the Yankees winning two of … Continued
For the first time since 1968, the New York Yankees have not scored a run in three consecutive games. Not exactly what you’d expect from a team colloquially nicknamed “The Bronx Bombers.” It’s been a really rough go. The Yankees have been outscored 13-5 in their last six games. Nobody in the lineup is hitting … Continued
The Boston Red Sox swept the New York Yankees over the weekend, only to make a move one would expect from the opposite result. Mere hours after Boston’s 2-0 win over the Yankees on Sunday, star third baseman/first baseman/DH/whatever management needs from him a given week Rafael Devers was traded to the San Francisco Giants. … Continued
Everyone knew the New York Yankees were going to lose some games this year. Even the best go through bad stretches, it’s baseball. It happens. What no one could have expected, however, was the Yankees being swept by the Red Sox at Fenway Park over the weekend, thus losing five of the first six games of … Continued
A clutch ninth inning home run from Aaron Judge and a tight extra innings loss later, the New York Yankees need to channel some anger headed into Saturday night’s game. They’ll once again face Hunter Dobbins, the Red Sox rookie who would apparently retire if the Yankees were the only team offering him a deal. … Continued
The New York Yankees lost two of three to the Red Sox last weekend, and answered with a subsequent three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals. The Bronx Bombers earned it too, having eked out a tight 1-0 victory to complete the sweep Wednesday. It’s now out of the frying pan and into the fire, … Continued
The New York Yankees might have allowed three runs in the ninth inning, but still held on for a 6-3 win over the Royals on Wednesday. Aaron Judge hit his 25th home run of the season while Clarke Schmidt tossed six shutout innings with seven strikeouts. On Thursday, the Bronx Bombers go for the sweep … Continued
Aaron Judge went full team captain mode on Tuesday, launching a 469-foot two-run home run in the first inning to give the Yankees an early 2-0 lead. That was just the beginning of the onslaught. Austin Wells also homered and had five RBI while Max Fried added seven strong innings in New York’s 10-2 victory. … Continued
In case you missed it, Juan Soto is finally starting to hit like the Juan Soto we know and love. The New York Mets’ star free agent has been on an absolute tear in June, batting .346 with a .615 slugging percentage and 1.179 OPS. His batting average is up to .244 on the year and … Continued
Back in April, the New York Yankees swept the Kansas City Royals in the first leg of last year’s ALDS rematch. Three big wins, three close games, three comeback victories for the Bronx Bombers. Kansas City takes its turn to host a three-game set now, but not in an ideal playoff position. They’re currently fourth … Continued
Garrett Crochet pitched the Red Sox to a 10-7 victory over the Yankees, far beyond what we expected from Saturday’s tilt. Even in defeat, the Bronx Bombers tagged the big lefty for five earned runs in six innings. The defeat also cut the Yankees’ AL East lead to 4.5 games over the rival Blue Jays. … Continued
The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox were as advertised in their first game against each other at Yankee Stadium on Friday. New York slugged its way to a 9-6 win on the backs of home runs by Jazz Chisholm Jr., Anthony Volpe, and Paul Goldschmidt. Boston starter Walker Buehler, the former Dodger who … Continued
The New York Yankees keep grinding out victories and enter their weekend tilt with the Boston Red Sox on a high note. Thursday saw the Bronx Bombers win their three-game series with the Cleveland Guardians, thanks to Cody Bellinger’s home run and a great outing from Max Fried. Now, it’s time for the age-old AL … Continued
The date is October 19, 2024. The site is Progressive Field; Cleveland, Ohio. Two pitchers take the mound for the game that night, Game 5 of the ALCS between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians. Neither will get the win, and one won’t even finish five innings. But when the dust settles, Juan Soto’s … Continued
After a grinder of an extra-innings win on Monday, the New York Mets seek to up their win streak to five when they send Tylor Megill to the mound on Tuesday. The defending champion Dodgers will counter with future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw, who made his second start of the season versus the Mets … Continued
The New York Mets took care of the White Sox and Rockies accordingly last week, and were rewarded with a return to first place in the NL East. Now, they’ll look to ride that momentum into a four-game series with the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The same Dodgers the Mets took two of three … Continued
Saturday’s tilt between the Yankees and Dodgers was indeed a slugfest, just as we predicted. It was just a slugfest in the absolute worst way. Los Angeles’ deep lineup jumped on rookie Will Warren’s fastball from the start and welcomed him to the big leagues. An 18-2 romp later, Warren’s ERA ballooned to 5.19 and … Continued
The New York Yankees came out swinging (literally) against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Home runs from Aaron Judge, Austin Wells, Trent Grisham, and Paul Goldschmidt put New York ahead 5-2 headed into the sixth inning. Then, the ghosts of Game 5 of the World Series showed up. The Dodgers put on a hit … Continued
At long last, it’s finally here: The regular season World Series rematch between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees. It’s been exactly seven months since the Yankees blew a 5-0 lead in Game 5 and watched the Dodgers celebrate on the field at Yankee Stadium. The Bronx Bombers were completely outplayed in the … Continued
It’s finally come, ladies and gentlemen: the long-anticipated World Series rematch series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. Both teams are performing about as expected, with both sitting in first place in their respective divisions. There is, however, a key difference. The Yankees own a comfortable six-and-a-half game lead over the Rays … Continued

I would love nothing more than to write a Mets piece that doesn’t feature Juan Soto in some capacity. It’s become the new “F*** Altuve” from the Yankees’ side. Ha ha ha, Juan Soto took more money to sign with the Mets and sucks now. Lolololol, Soto looks miserable and clearly wishes he re-signed with the … Continued
With so much history between the Yankees and the Dodgers, it’s easy to forget the Angels also play in Los Angeles. Moreover, it’s easier to forget that, for a time, the Angels and Yankees did not like each other. Granted, it doesn’t help that the Angels name has changed a bunch throughout its history. Los Angeles … Continued
The New York Mets are riding high after taking two of three from the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend, but their real test comes this week. The Mets, currently two games behind the Phillies in the NL East, are home all week with six games that are practically gimmes: Three versus the … Continued
Call it luck or a well-timed rain delay, but we were incorrect in predicting Friday’s NLCS rematch between the Mets and Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw looked sharp in two innings before the weather ended his night early, and LA staved off a Mets comeback to finally win in 13 innings, 7-5. Clearer skies are expected for … Continued

The New York Mets are in a bit of a downswing, having lost three of their last four ahead of a weekend series with the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers. LA hasn’t fared much better, having just been swept by the lowly Angels. But even so, the Mets and Dodgers still met in the NLCS … Continued
The Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks are set to play Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, and although it was not a matchup that many expected coming into the NBA Playoffs, there are several interesting prop bets to look at for this game.

First things first: Juan Soto is not miraculously rejoining the Yankees this year. But the evidence keeps piling up and we can’t keep ignoring it. The player who signed a 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets in December is not the same player who batted behind Aaron Judge last season. He’s gone on record … Continued

The first round of the Subway Series is complete, but Mets outfielder Juan Soto is the last player on anyone’s minds. Well, save for maybe a handful of shitkickers on X/Twitter. Soto continued his aggressively mediocre season in his return to the Bronx, where the boo-birds nested aplenty. The former Yankees rental went 1 for … Continued
On Friday, the Yankees proved us wrong again and came out storming versus the Mets, slaughtering them with smallball in a 6-2 victory. Juan Soto, in his first return to the Bronx, was 0 for 2 with three walks and flied out to center to end the game. Come Saturday, the Mets will turn to … Continued
Juan Soto might have the near-$800 million contract from Steve Cohen’s New York Mets, but Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees had the last laugh on Friday. Mets righty Tylor Megill, amidst a great start to his season, fell of a cliff in the third inning. He couldn’t even complete the inning and was … Continued
