The positives and negatives are canceling out. The offense at 3.0 R/G is pulling the temperature down. Counterbalancing that, took last night by 2. That matters.

Yankees News

The Yankees managed to shake off a rough week with a thrilling performance from newcomer George Lombard Jr., who made a splash in his MLB debut by homering and showcasing impressive defense in a shutout win over the Cardinals. This victory is a welcome sight amid a troubling 3-4 stretch where the team has struggled with a -7 run differential. Meanwhile, the uncertainty surrounding Aaron Judge's rib injury looms over the roster, adding pressure as the Yankees aim to hold their ground in the division. The recent trade deadline also brought a mix of nostalgia and regret, highlighting former players moving on while Jasson Dominguez's fall from grace continues to baffle fans. With a record of 63-50, the Yankees must find consistency if they want to stay in contention and build on Lombard's promising start.

You never know what to expect from a major league debut. You could get a fiery one like Aaron Judge’s first-pitch home run, or you could get a game like Mike Mayers allowing nine runs in 1.2 innings (both of which happened in 2016). I couldn’t tell you what Gleyber Torres did in his MLB […]

New York Yankees vs. St. Louis Cardinals: Ryan Weathers vs. Hunter Dobbins

Most of the time, you can’t tell when a new era of Yankees baseball begins. We sure as hell didn’t expect Aaron Judge’s debut 10 years ago this month would perfectly segue from the last remnant of the 2000s Yankees retiring (Alex Rodríguez) to the next Yankee great, but it’s fair to say it was […]
