NY Yankees at Cincinnati Reds: Allan Winans arrives

NY Yankees at Cincinnati Reds: Allan Winans arrives

Josh Benjamin

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

Yankees power outage has but one solution: Play better

Josh Benjamin

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

Longtime Yankees nemesis Rafael Devers traded to Giants

Josh Benjamin

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

Following sweep in Boston, Yankees must right ship now

Josh Benjamin

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.

NY Yankees at Boston Red Sox: Hunter Dobbins revisited

Josh Benjamin

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

NY Yankees at Boston Red Sox: Redemption Weekend

Josh Benjamin

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

NY Yankees at Kansas City Royals: ALDS Rematch Round 2

Josh Benjamin

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

NY Mets at LA Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw, Round 2

Josh Benjamin

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.

NY Yankees at LA Dodgers: Preview, analysis, prediction

Josh Benjamin

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

Yankees vs. Dodgers: New York’s blueprint to victory

Josh Benjamin

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

Yankees-Angels: Requiem for an old rivalry

Josh Benjamin

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

This week is the New York Mets’ to lose

Josh Benjamin

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.

NY Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers: Mets seek to even series

Josh Benjamin

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

Yankees take Round 1 of the Juan Soto Breakup Series

Josh Benjamin

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

Aaron Boone is the new Bobby Cox

Josh Benjamin

It’s not easy being New York Yankees manage Aaron Boone. Every Yankees loss, the fans on X/Twitter find a reason to dump on the guy. He left the starting pitcher in for too long. The bullpen management was disgusting. What’s he thinking with that lineup? Well, a new book from veteran baseball writer Scott Miller … Continued

NY Yankees vs. San Diego Padres: Former teammates face off

Josh Benjamin

The New York Yankees seek to avenge Monday’s heartbreaking, rain-soaked 4-3 loss to the Padres when righty Clarke Schmidt returns to the mound on Tuesday.

An open letter to the New York Yankees lineup

Josh Benjamin

Dear New York Yankees hitters, First off, solid start to the season. 19-16 isn’t ideal, but first place in the AL East is first place in the AL East with or without Juan Soto batting in front of Aaron Judge. Speaking of, let’s talk about Judge. Another great season in progress, this time batting over … Continued
