Kuroda guts out needed win for Yanks

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 29, 2012
Hiroki Kuroda's struggles continued on Friday, though unlike teammate Ivan Nova the night before, the veteran right hander was able to grind his way to a victory. Kuroda allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings, allowing 10 hits and two walks while striking out four batters. He gave up five hits -- including three doubles -- and issued a walk during the first two innings, but...

Nova May Have Pitched Himself Off The Postseason Roster

Via Sliding Into Home  |  September 28, 2012
From Wallace Matthews:Last October, when the New York Yankees needed one more win to extend their season another round, they asked Ivan Nova to get it. This October, they may not even invite him along for the ride. Thursday night, facing yet another golden opportunity to create some separation between themselves and the Baltimore Orioles, the Yankees turned to Nova. And...

New York Yankees 11 — Toronto Blue Jays 4   After being shutout last night, the Yankees put up 11 in tonight’s 11-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.   Hiroki Kuroda danced in and out of danger in his 5.1 innings of work. Kuroda scattered 10 hits and gave up just 2 runs. Despite not having a 1-2-3 inning, Kuroda benefited from some help defensively. In the 1st inning, leadoff...

Staring down another division title, Andy Pettitte can take the Yankees one step closer to it today The pressure has been on the Yankees over the past few weeks as they’ve been neck and neck with the Baltimore Orioles battling for the top spot in the AL East.

New York Yankees: Ichiro Suzuki Is Proving To Be Just the Right Elixir for the Lineup

Via FootBasket  |  September 27, 2012
Ichiro Suzuki has been tearing it up over the last 10 games for the New York Yankees. The ‘freshly’ named AL ‘Player of the Week’ is hitting .432 with 19 hits in that time-including a 14-20 stretch and 6 Multi-hit games. So does his renaissance remind of you anyone? Ah, yeah…the 2001-2009 version of the Japanese superstar. The Yankees were smart enough to think that Ichiro...

T Minus 6: Yanks Lose, O's Idle

Via Lady At The Bat  |  September 28, 2012
Last night Ivan Nova pitched himself out of the postseason rotation. That is, if there IS a postseason rotation.  The division lead is now down to just 1 game with 6 left to play.It was Nova's second bad start in a row after the good start he had when he returned from the disabled list. After the game Nova was asked what he thinks he needs to do to fix things. His response...

T Minus 7: Yanks Win, O's Win

Via Lady At The Bat  |  September 27, 2012
A few weeks ago there was plenty of worry and angst about CC Sabathia. The Yankees ace wasn't pitching like an ace and, if he didn't start to soon, bad things were going to happen to the team if and when it made the playoffs. Well, now Sabathia has had two straight ace-like starts, the latest coming yesterday against the Twins, and things are starting  to look good again...

Girardi’s decisions questionable

Via Bronx Pinstripes  |  September 29, 2012
The Yankees have been in an absolute dogfight over the past month or so, as Baltimore has constantly been on their heels. Currently, New York holds a half game lead, and the Orioles are leading 4-3 against the feeble and useless Red Sox. As the Yankees fight to maintain their grip on the AL East, one thing has caught my eye recently: Joe Girardi’s managerial decisions have sometimes...

OK, get out your slide-rules, because this is technical stuff, or as the Yankiverse likes to view it: thoughtful speculation.If the election were held today - that is, we face Baltimore next Thursday in a Division playoff - we could face Chris Tillman, coming off his legendary, one-hit masterpiece over Pawtucket. Hard to say, because Buck hasn't yet announced Sunday'...

Yankees Use Strong Sabathia Start And Six Run Third Inning To Beat Twins

Via NY Sports Nut  |  September 27, 2012
Last time C.C. Sabathia pitched, his eight scorless innings of work went to waste as the New York Yankees scored just one run before the bullpen blew the lead.  This time, the Bronx Bombers made sure their “ace” got the win. Behind a six-run third inning and Sabathia’s eight innings, the Yankees defeated the Minnesota Twins by a score of 8-2.  In his eight innings of work...

Ivan Nova could be losing a spot in the Yankees starting rotation when playoffs begin. Photo Credit: Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images The Yankees haven’t clinched anything yet, and this is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable Septembers ever.

Yankees 11, Blue Jays 4

TORONTO -- If the New York Yankees were feeling any pressure with a miniscule lead atop the AL East Division, they certainly weren't showing it. Yankees catcher Russell Martin led the way with his 20th homer of the season, a three-run shot in the sixth, and scored twice as New York (91-66) took care of the Toronto Blue Jays 11-4 before a crowd of 25,785 at Rogers Centre on...

Yankees Shut Down By Brandon Morrow In Toronto

Via NY Sports Nut  |  September 28, 2012
The good news: Ivan Nova gave the New York Yankees more innings in this start than in his last.  The bad part: it still wasn’t even five innings of work.  Combine that with a dominant start from Toronto Blue Jays starter Brandon Morrow and what do you have? A Yankees shut out loss. The Yankees fell to the Blue Jays tonight by a score of 6-0.  Morrow (9-7) picked up the win,...
