TEAMS: New York Yankees, Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers
Cory Wade's week started off on a sour note, as the New York Yankees reliver gave up Mark Trumbo's walk-off home run in Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Angels. But Wade, who started his big-league career four years ago up the freeway with the Los Angeles Dodgers, got a chance to redeem himself before leaving Southern California. With the Yankees clinging to a 6-5 lead in the seventh inning Wednesday, manager Joe Girardi called on Wade to face Howie Kendrick with runners at the corners. Wade fell behind 3-0, but he battled back with a pair of called strikes before Kendrick fouled off three straight pitches, the first two on curveballs. After watching Kendrick foul off an 89 mph sinker, Wade came back with another curveball, getting Kendrick to swing through the 74 mph pitch for the third out. "That's a huge run in the game," Wade said. "It's kind of a pivotal point. I was just trying to get strikes. I wanted to get him out as fast a...

Starting rotation will still prove to be a strength for the Yankees
Any other team would be in trouble right now. The Yankees had exactly one pitcher they could rely on the first month of the season, and even he started slow out of the gate. One pitcher suffered a torn labrum. Another, an aging veteran one year rental, couldn’t get an out. Another more expensive veteran wasn’t living up to his $11 million billing. The young starter who surpassed...

Bombers Getting Bombed: A Look at the Yankees’ Inability to Keep Opponents in the Yard
Around this time last year, there was a patently absurd notion pervading coverage of the New York Yankees. Writers, bloggers and radio hosts were mostly in agreement: The Yankees were hitting all too many home runs. At the time, I did a full analysis of the situation, and determined that these home runs were not being paid for with extra outs, essentially making them upgraded singles...
