The New York Yankees have been without Brett Gardnerin left field all but nine games this season, and the impact could have been catastrophic but it hasn’t been.

New York Yankees: To trade or not to trade

To say the New York Yankeesare on a roll would be an understatement.  Currently the Bombers are on a nine game winning streak having steamrolled over the Mets, Braves and this past weekend the Washington Nationals. The Yankees are 9-1 in their last 10 games; and have won 19 of their last 23. They are 40-25 [...]

New York Yankees: Gardner solutions

After a perennial sluggish start, the New York Yankees have smoothed out the kinks and are playing solid baseball again.

New York Yankees: Wounded but winning

As if there weren’t enough already, the New York Yankees suffered even more injuries during their big, 8-5 win against the Baltimore Orioles last night.

Kidding her is the bad news first, followed by the better or most improved news…. A WEEK FROM HELL: The New York Yankees [...]

New York Yankees: Latest on Brett Gardner’s elbow

The New York Yankees have been noticeably without out-fielding speedster Brett Gardner for the last week. Gardner made a dynamic, diving catch last Tuesday night, which resulted in him injuring his right arm and being put on the 15-day DL immediately following an MRI that revealed it was bruise and strained elbow. According to skipper [...]

New York Yankees: Lose to Ron Gardenhire and lose Brett Gardner

 A LOSE/LOSE FOR THE YANKEES… It was a double whammy in the Bronx, as the New York Yankees lost to the Minnesota Twins for the second time this week 5-6; and minutes after the game ESPN New York’s Andrew Marchand tweeted that Brett Gardner was placed on the DL with strained elbow. Marchand followed with the [...]

New York Yankees: Being to un-risky proving costly

Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon notoriously gets called out for making ‘risky moves’ but after this weekend’s sweep of the New York Yankees that label seems unfair and inaccurate. A risk is supposed to be hazardous, as you are acting in spite of what could go wrong. And the only jeopardizing things I saw [...]
