Thoughts: Greg Bird Lands On DL

May 3, 2017By Patrick Moran

The Yankees placed first basemen Greg Bird on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a bruised right ankle. The 24-year old has been (mostly) playing on the sore ankle since fouling a ball off it during a spring training game in late March.  Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Bird had a MRI in New York … Read More

Yanks 7, White Sox 3 #WelcomeBackMatt

April 17, 2017By Patrick Moran

One of my best friends, a Yankee fanatic begins each season with a simple Facebook status that reads “162-0” in honor of his favorite team finishing the regular season undefeated. With each corresponding Yankee loss that figure adds one to the right side.  After the first give games, his status read “158-4”. The way things … Read More

Yanks 9, Cards 3 #UnbeatableAtHome

April 16, 2017By Patrick Moran

Literally around 24 hours ago I wrote that Greg Bird should spend some time in the minors to work on a swing that looked overmatched for MLB pitching.  To quote the great Chris Jericho, I am a “stupid idiot”. After tonight I think Bird may win a battle title.  Entering the game with one hit … Read More

Yanks 3, Cards 2 #SixPackOfWins

April 15, 2017By Patrick Moran

Last night I said the New York Yankees were victorious in one of the more exciting games I’ve seen in quite some time.  This afternoon they won in one if the weirder ones. The Bombers did a lot of whiffing at the plate; striking out a franchise record-tying 17 times.  However, they also drew eight … Read More

Yanks 4, Cards 3 #ClutchClippard

April 14, 2017By Patrick Moran

Watching winning baseball is a lot of fun. While I wouldn’t exactly say the world’s at my feet, at least I had a handful of respectful Friday night options.  Ultimately I decided to reward the New York Yankees for a solid week of work by grabbing a pizza, two liter of cola and staying in … Read More

Yanks 3, Rays 2 #SevyAndHicksShow

April 13, 2017By Patrick Moran

It took nine games to arrive there but the New York Yankees got over the .500 hump tonight. Aaron Hicks went deep twice to deliver all the offense, Luis Severino was superb on the bump and the highly touted tandem of Dellin Betances and Aroldis Chapman closed the door on the Tampa Rays as the … Read More

Yanks 8 , Rays 4 #AaronJudge&Jury

April 12, 2017By Patrick Moran

Through four innings at least, the Tampa Rays completely muzzled the sweltering New York Yankee bats. The way the Bomber offense is going these days, that’s not nearly enough. The Yanks trailed, 3-0 going into their half of the fifth inning before exploding for eight unanswered runs over the next three frames and winning, 8-4 It’s … Read More

Yanks 8, Rays 1 #PinedaDominatesOpener

April 10, 2017By Patrick Moran

Opening Day in the Bronx Monday provided fans with the finest scenario of what this team is capable of. Rocked one week earlier by the same Tampa Rays team, Michael Pineda was majestic on the hill for the Yanks.  He retired the first 20 batters he saw and the offense supported him handsomely in a … Read More

Yanks Fantasy Stock: Sluggish Start

April 10, 2017By Patrick Moran

It’s hardly realistic to appraise a player’s fantasy value after just one week and six games, but it’s enough for at least a small sample size. Here’s a look at how the New York Yankees are doing fantasy-wise early on. Rankings are from Yahoo and based on six offensive categories (runs, home runs, RBI, steals, … Read More

Yanks 7, Orioles 3 #AvoidTheSweep

April 9, 2017By Patrick Moran

♦After blowing leads the previous two games, the New York Yankees finally gave Baltimore a taste of their own medicine. A solo home run by Aaron Judge erased Baltimore’s one run lead in the eighth inning, and walks and good baserunning led to a Bombers four-spot up in the ninth to defeat Baltimore, 7-3 and … Read More
