Yankees News

The Yankees are riding a warm 8-2 record, but yesterday's 5-3 win over the Athletics showcased a troubling trend: despite a hot start, their bats went cold after scoring early runs against old friend Luis Severino. Amed Rosario, fresh off a two-homer game, is emerging as a vital piece of the offense, yet the team's inability to capitalize on early opportunities raises concerns. They had a chance to dominate but instead let the Athletics claw back late. With a solid run differential of +15 over the last week, it’s clear the Yankees have the potential for greatness, but they must convert early leads into consistent victories. The lineup needs to find its groove if they want to maintain this momentum against teams that have been less fortunate in the standings.

Yankees can’t put Athletics away early, lose late

Enough of the new season smell has worn off that we can all say this game was a bit miserable. The Yankees had a golden opportunity to blow the contest open in the first inning, and after the first three Yanks all reached base, barely a soul managed to do so for the rest of […]

New York Yankees vs. The Athletics: Will Warren vs. Luis Severino

After spearheading last night’s thrilling comeback win, Amed Rosario finds himself back in the starting lineup, and I will be expecting another two home runs from today’s third baseman. He and the rest of the Yankees will be facing off against the man who was once seen as the future long-term ace of the staff, […]
