AAA: Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees The way that Dellin Betances has pitched this season, he must truly be aiming to become the next “Wild Thing.” Betances showed no control again last night, allowing seven walks and throwing two wild pitches in just 4.2 innings. The rest of the line was decent enough – Betances gave up [...]

Cashman: We want both Cano and Granderson here long term
Because of stiffer luxury tax penalties in the new collective bargaining agreement, the Yankees are trying to reduce payroll to $189 million by the 2014 season. To do that, the Yankees will be faced with a strict budget closer to the norm in regular baseball and that means hard choices.
Two of those choices sound like they’ve already been made – to keep Robinson Cano and Curtis...
Hot and cold Yankees: Jeter and Ibanez
HOT: Derek Jeter - Jeter went 0-for-3 last night to snap a nine game hitting streak, but he still got on base twice last night and I wanted to give him props for the streak. He started off red hot before a rough May. Now he’s hitting .311/.354/.356/.710 over his last 10 games. Not a lot of power, but solid performance from a shortstop.
COLD: Raul Ibanez - Ibanez was brought...

Compared to the last few seasons where the Yankees have become accustomed to the consistent production from the bat of Robinson Cano, there hasn’t been too much of the same on display this season. His .299 batting average, 14 home runs, and 33 RBIs that pad his stats this year are a bit misleading, because [...]

CC Sabathia and the rest of the Yankees pitching staff have dominated interleague play in 2012.
It’s generally understood that the American League is well-known for power hitting, while the National League yields consistent pitching.
The Yankees have posted a 168-109 record in interleague play since its advent in 1997, the best in the majors. In fact, the top five teams in interleague...

BP Unfiltered: Yankees Fans Gloating About Home Runs: The Sequel by Ben Lindbergh

Interesting things happen when home runs are hit to the short porch in right field at Yankee Stadium. In Game 4 of the 2010 ALCS, Robinson Cano hit a home run there, just beyond the grasp of Rangers right fielder Nelson Cruz. That home run made the score 1-0, Yankees. The Rangers went on to win the game 10-3, so the home run itself was meaningless. (Well, it might have had meaning...

The New York Yankees have agreed to terms with 19-year old Cuban pitcher Omar Luis Rodriguez. The fireballing young lefthander— who had defected from Cuba and declared a free agent earlier this month— was offered a minor league contract worth $4-$5 million by the Yankees and won't need to be added to the 40-man roster.
The signing was first reported by MLB.com, who also...

Ah, those glorious dog days. Pitchers are tired, the air provides fly balls with that extra kick, and suddenly, home runs start flying, especially at parks like Yankee Stadium. Usually, they come in August. But we had our first such experience of the 2012 season on June 20, and the results were not pretty for Phil Hughes.

So, it ends at 10. It was a fun winning streak, one that I will remember for years.Or, will I?The last time the Yankees won 10 in a row was back in 2005. I have absolutely no memory of it. It makes sense, considering the hundreds of games played since '05. But, then again, this was a 10-game winning streak. That's not something that is done every week. Funny how the mind...
