The Yanks are working their way down to the basement of the American League East and are getting ever closer to last place. Only the revived Boston Red Sox stand in their way. Yankee pitching is weak and when they turn out some kind of decent outing, the hitting is nowhere to be found. The [...]
If the Yankees were playing better and how they are supposed to be, they could have had a great chance to be a game back from 1st place. Instead they split these two with Baltimore and find themselves with losing even more ground (Entering Wednesday May 16, 2012):
The Rays are in a three-game winning streak [...]
Game Three: Mariners 6 Yanks 2
Inconsistency is the appropriate word to describe the Yankee offense. Andy Pettitte is back and he was very effective for one who had retired and had to begin again from single A baseball. He pitched 6.1 innings, scattered 7 hits but gave up 2 two-run homers that killed him. Well, [...]
Beating Seattle is expected from the Yanks but with so-called “King Felix” Hernandez on the mound it has been a struggle for a few years. Tonight it was not to be although Hernandez kept it close for 6 innings and until Raul Ibanez tagged him with a big three-run homer. That put the Yankees up [...]
Sabathia was his usual “stopper” again and when the Yanks needed it the most. He pitched brilliantly after giving up 3 hits and two unearned runs with the help of the Yankee defense. He settled down into a devastating groove and halted any more scoring from the Rays. He pitched 8 full innings, scattering 7 [...]
No Yankee fan should dare try using the excuse and blame Robertson of blowing the save or/and game. ONE run and in the very first inning is all the Yankee offense could muster up! Oh yes Neuman did pitch great but the Yanks left 8 men on base. But then again, the Rays left 11 [...]
James Shield is one of the best pitchers in the American league and very consistent. He is very tough and hardly loses but the Rays seem to lay back too much when he pitches. Their run production is minimal and Shields has to pitch tight games and with practically no mistakes. Last year Shields had [...]
Game 4: Yanks 10 Royals 4
MLB.com Recap:
KANSAS CITY — Phil Hughes brought more than just an extra-zippy fastball with him as he returned to the mound for the seventh inning on Sunday. He seemed to be carrying a few extra ounces of his manager’s trust.
Hughes’ strong effort earned him a chance to head back out [...]
Sabathia finally stopped the losing streak with an impressive start as he pitched 8.0 innings, scattering 7 hits and 2 earned runs. Both the Yankee and Royal offenses were shut down after scoring 2 runs each in the first inning. No further scoring until the top of the 7th and with 2 outs:
MLB Recap:
KANSAS CITY [...]
EVERY Yankee fan knows how important it is to have Mariano Rivera coming in and saving the game. He’s done it more than anyone in the history of the game. You can ask the opposition and you will get a unanimous response, he’s the most important component of the Yankees and has been the main [...]
I know it’s early in the season but there’s no escaping the fact, the Yanks are struggling. It is important to note, whenever any team faces the Yanks the atmosphere becomes playoff-ish for them. Everybody wants to beat the Yanks and it shows, it’s a confidence booster for the opponents. The Yankees sub-par, mediocre starting [...]
Game Two: Orioles 7 Yanks 1
MLB Recap:
NEW YORK — It went without saying that Orioles starter Brian Matusz, who entered Tuesday’s game against the Yankees with the longest active losing streak in the Majors, badly needed a win. And manager Buck Showalter — one victory shy of the prestigious 1,000-win mark — could’ve used [...]
Game Three: Yanks 6 Tigers 2
MLB Recap:
NEW YORK — CC Sabathia knew exactly what the Yankees needed from him on Sunday afternoon, and they couldn’t have asked for more as the ace turned in his sharpest outing of the young season.
Sabathia pitched eight innings of two-run ball to bail out a taxed bullpen, supported in [...]
