Read’em and Weep: Baseball Cards Tell Story of Yankees Struggling Offense

Posted in Baseball, MLB, Robinson Cano, Roster Analysis, Yankees on September 1, 2014 | Leave a Comment »

The Yankees find themselves idle on Labor Day for the first time since 2005 and on only the second scheduled date in franchise history (1994 was victim to the strike, and rain postponed games in 1922, 1933, 1935). Considering how poorly this year’s offense has performed, the day off seems rather appropriate. Because of the team’s slumbering bats, […]

After last night’s […]

Who Needs Cano? The Yankees, Don’t You Know

Posted in Baseball, MLB, Robinson Cano, Roster Analysis, Yankees on April 28, 2014 | 1 Comment »

Who needs Robinson Cano? Apparently not the Yankees, who, at 15-10, will welcome their former All Star second baseman back to the Bronx as co-owners of the best record in the American League.

Solarte Power Fueling the Yankees, but How Long Will It Last?

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Baseball, MLB, Robinson Cano, Roster Analysis, Spring Training, Yankees on April 19, 2014 | 2 Comments »

The Yankees’ biggest challenge this offseason was replacing the lost production of third baseman Alex Rodriguez and second baseman Robison Cano. Compensating for both losses figured to take a team effort, but over the first three weeks of the season, one man, Yangervis Solarte, has provided all the answers. Solarte, a career minor leaguer who […]

In yesterday’s double header against the Cubs, the Yankees allowed no runs and nine hits while recording 17 strikeouts in 18 innings. It was the first time since 1987 that the Yankees swept a doubleheader without allowing a run, but the most impressive statistic wasn’t listed in the box score. It was the age of […]
