As John Sterling returns to the broadcast booth for the New York Yankees, we put together a few moments to remind everyone why he's the best in the business.
So on Tuesday, at the MLB general managers meeting , when Pinstripes' GM Brian Cashman barked at the media, "I think we’re pretty f–king good, personally. I’m proud of our people," it is hard to take the 25-year veteran GM seriously. Cashman's comments were so out of touch and defensive, Yankees fans had better prepare for a long winter of nothing.
If New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman wants to add to his World Championship legacy in the Bronx, then he needs play some of his precious prospect-cards, now. With Aaron Judge's big toe in question that it could be a problem for, at least, the remainder of the season, it's time for Cashman to go all-in before the trade deadline in a few weeks.
Injuries have piled up for the New York Yankees this season. However, Carlos Rodón, Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson are all getting closer to returning to the Major League roster. That leaves the question, which players will be going?
On Sunday afternoon, Yankees manager Aaron Boone penciled Isiah Kiner-Falefa into the seventh spot in the Bronx Bombers' batting order. At first glance, most would assume IKF would be giving rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe a breather.
It's tough to argue the fact: until somebody, like the New York Yankees, knock off the Houston Astros, the reigning champion still holds the crown. However, this looks to be the year that American League representative in the fall classic will come from New York for the first time since 2009.
As Giancarlo Stanton readies himself for a return to the Yankees, the expectations have never been higher on New York's power-hitting designated hitter.
The Major League Baseball All Star Game used to be a very hot commodity and a must watch event every year. There is less appeal to me in the All Star Game now.
In 44 games, the 2022 New York Yankees have played the Baltimore Orioles 13 times and after last night, are 9-4 against them. So, for the next 118 games, the Pinstripes and the O's will only face off another 6 times. Good for Baltimore bad for the Bombers. Thursday, the Yankees and their most dominant opponent in the American League East over the past few years, the Tampa Bay Rays, will face-off in the first of 19 battles this season.
It should have been an awesome celebration. Gleyber Torres came off the bench and delivered a pinch-hit single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning for a 5-4 comeback victory for New York Yankees over the Cleveland Guardians. Fans should have been cheering and players should have been jumping up and down with happiness. That happened briefly, then the ugliness in right-field began.
