Rafael Devers's Home Run Broke This Yankees Fan
The Red Sox came back to beat the Yankees 3-2 and win the rubber game of their series thanks to their rookies: A ninth-inning home run from Rafael Devers and a 10th-inning single from Andrew Benintendi. And Devers’s homer silenced one very excited Yankees fan:...
Here's Yet Another Immaculate Inning This Year
In tonight’s loss to the Tigers, Dellin Betances threw an immaculate inning; such a feat is, depending on how wide your lens, either quite rare or not so much. His is only the 87th immaculate inning in more than a century of baseball. It’s also the sixth this season and the 16th since 2014....
Sonny Gray Finally Traded To The Yankees
Sonny Gray is going to New York and he should probably pack a razor....
Jersey Worn By Aaron Judge In His MLB Debut Sells For $157,000
Aaron Judge is a dong-mashing hero whose feats of dinger-smokage have come to define the 2017 baseball season, and also a Yankee, and so authentic Aaron Judge memorabilia is already sort of a big deal. Hop on ebay and you will find hundreds of listings: weird things like “signed baseball golf ball i...
Aaron Judge Chips Tooth In Walk-Off Celebration
The Yankees defeated the Rays in 11 innings tonight thanks to a walk-off home run from Brett Gardner, allowing them to go up two and a half games over their surprisingly competitive division-mates. Time to celebrate! Unfortunately for Aaron Judge, this celebration involved him chipping his front too...
Yankees Produce Rare Run-Scoring Triple Play With Didi Gregorius Base-Running Goof
Todd Frazier’s first home plate appearance at Yankee Stadium was one to remember. He knocked in a run to take a 1-0 lead, yeah—but he did so in what ultimately became a triple play, thanks to teammate Didi Gregorius’s antics on the base paths. Gregorius, who was on second base to start the play, got...
Don't Look Now, But The Yankees Might Be Interested In Giancarlo Stanton
Giancarlo Stanton was definitely thinking home run. In a rare visit to the Rangers, one of the few ballparks the Marlins slugger hasn’t homered in, Stanton realized this might be his last chance for a while to notch it on his belt. (Well, his last chance for a while unless he becomes a Yankee soon. ...

"Yankees Suck" T-Shirt Creator Charged With Assaulting Ex-Girlfriend [UPDATED]
The New York Daily News ran a lighthearted piece last week about the short amount of time Ray LeMoine—famous creator of the “Yankees Suck” T-shirts, which recently got their own 30 for 30 podcast episode—spent on Rikers Island. The Daily News framed the story as the Yankees “evening the score” again...
White Sox Add To Prospect Stash While <em></em>Sending Todd Frazier, David Robertson And Tommy Kahnle To Yankees
The White Sox are sending all three of their most heavily rumored trade chips—third baseman Todd Frazier and relievers David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle—to the Yankees in exchange for prospects Blake Rutherford, Ian Clarkin and Tito Polo plus, uh, Tyler Clippard. ...
Bartolo Colon Briefly Humbles A Younger, Larger Foe
Despite posting an 8.14 ERA in 13 games for Atlanta this season before being cut, Bartolo Colon got himself a second chance with the Minnesota Twins. He made his first start for the 10th team in his major-league career Tuesday night against the Yankees....
Aaron Judge Can Do Some Big Honking Throws, Too
We’ve said it before, but spectacularly large baseball boy Aaron Judge is much more than just the sum of his dongeroonies. Last night, he proved that fact once again with an incredible throw from right field:...
Fenway Gives And Fenway Takes
The Yankees and Red Sox split a day-night doubleheader on Sunday, trading shutouts for just the third time in the history of the clubs. They also taught us a valuable lesson about home runs: Sometimes it’s not how hard you hit them, but where. Especially in a weirdo ballpark like Fenway....
There Is No Making Sense Of Matt Holliday's Bizarre Base Running Blunder
You know when you zone out at a stoplight, and then you suddenly sense traffic moving around you, and so you accelerate a little too quickly, but it turns out you don’t have a green light, it’s the turn lane next to you that has a green arrow, and so you have to stomp the brakes like a shithead, but...
Dellin Betances Just Can't Stop Walking Guys
To say that Dellin Betances couldn’t find the zone today is to be extremely generous and extenuative about the whole thing, as should be pretty apparent from the strike zone plot below: ...
Miserable Base-Running Error Ends Yankees Come-From-Ahead Loss
Here’s Yankees leadoff hitter Brett Gardner slapping a ball into the gap in left center, with two outs in the top of the ninth, with his team down a run after surrendering a 6-3 lead in the bottom of the eighth inning:...
Dustin Fowler Carted Off With Leg Injury Less Than An Inning Into His Major League Debut [UPDATE]
Dustin Fowler’s debut in the bigs ended as quickly and disastrously as one could imagine as the rookie Yankees outfielder crashed into the wall in foul territory in Chicago and had to be carted off with what appears to be a serious leg injury....
Don't Make Aaron Judge Angry
Aaron Judge, the Yankees’ extremely large tater-masher, mashed his 27th tater of the year against the White Sox last night. If you pay close attention to this video of the dinger being donged, you’ll notice Judge staring into the right-field stands as he rounds first base:...
Jacoby Ellsbury Is King Of Catcher Interference
You might already be familiar with the most insignificant of Jacoby Ellsbury’s baseball skills—his ability to get on base via catcher interference. He set a single-season record last year by doing it 12 times, meaning that he alone was responsible for nearly a third of the league’s calls. Tonight, h...
Report: Yankees Charity Is Being Shady About Where Its Money Goes
The New York Times put out a lengthy report today detailing the past 10 years of the “New Yankee Stadium Community Benefits Fund,” a charity the team created after they caught heat for taking public park land to build its new coliseum in the South Bronx. ...
