The Yankees have been in a bad way these past two weeks. In a season littered with surprises and outstanding performances, it is only natural for any team to hit a slump at some point. Team slumps often start as some combination of long road trips, close losses and player injuries. The Yanks have seen all three of these in the past two weeks and fans are beginning to feel frustrated. Some of the more recent losses have been blown-leads which I believe to be even more painful

How long is it going to take the Yankees to replace Chase Headley at third base with Gleyber Torres? Headley is a veteran so it's really unknown however Torres has been promoted to AAA and realistically isn't that far from the majors despite being only 20 years old. Even though Aaron Judge was not successful last year, it can't be denied that the time he spent up in the majors must've helped prepare him for what he's done this year and I would think that the Yankees would wan

Gary Sanchez is back and he is off

1) Aaron Judge has slowed down his historic pace this past week. He is a rookie and there will be ups and downs but coming into Friday, he has hit just .211 in his past 19 at bats and I can’t help but wonder if he is still hurting physically. He took a tumble into the stands making a catch in Boston over a week ago and Joe Girardi acknowledged last Saturday that he was given the day off because he was indeed a little banged up. He hasn’t hit well this past week which is a sma

Something is different in the Bronx. Do you feel it? Can you see it? Lower expectations as the season began. The Arod circus is finally gone. The big ticket long term free agent signings are a thing of the past. The farm is stacked. The kids are taking over. The veterans are teaching the youth. The team is likable. The Yankees have fight. The Yankees have their swagger back. The Yankees are never out of the game. Yankee Magic is creeping back with regularity. The players bel

INSIDE SCOOP ON YANKEES PHENOM GARY SANCHEZ Gary Sanchez answered questions prior to the Thurman Munson Awards Dinner last week and I was able to attend the press conference and collect these notes for our readers. He started by saying that his 2017 goals are to stay healthy and to help the pitching staff. He emphasized that helping the pitching staff is really something that he wants to do this year. When asked about Spring Training, he acknowledged that he has always been a
