The Mets snapped a six-game skid yesterday with a 5-2 win against Adam Wainright and the Cardinals in St. Louis. The best part of the game was Daniel Murphy‘s disappearing double trick…check out the GIF below. Murphy lashed a ball down the right field line and it fell exactly between a small crack in the [...]
Yankees fans had seen a bit of “good” Phil Hughes this season, but Wednesday’s start against the Mariners was “bad” Phil. Hughes gave up seven runs on six hits and two walks on 36 pitches and was pulled with two out in the top of the first. Seattle went on to win, 12-2. Here’s Hughes’ [...]
The Yankees beat Felix Hernandez and the Mariners on Tuesday night, which was win No. 25 this season. That put the Yankees in a tie for the MLB lead with Texas and St. Louis, teams that also have 25 wins. Felix Hernandez gave up five hits, one run and struck out eight over six innings, [...]
Curtis Granderson will return to the Yankees tonight as the team takes on Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners at the Stadium. He’s playing left field and batting cleanup. Granderson was hit by a pitch early in spring training and suffered a broken right forearm. He had recently been playing for Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre and [...]
If 2012 was the year of the no-hitter – there were seven in the MLB last year, which includes three perfect games and a combined no-hitter – 2013 is shaping up to be the year of the near-no-hitter. Chris Sale threw a one-hit gem in the White Sox’s 3-0 win over the Angles on national [...]
Another day, another umpire controversy in Major League Baseball. This one was baffling. Last night in Houston, the Astros, leading 5-3 in the top of the seventh, went to the bullpen. Houston brought in Wesley Wright to face J.B. Shuck of the Angels. The Angels pinch-hit with a righty, Luis Jimenez. The Astros responded by [...]
Joe Girardi had quite the evening as Yankees manager on Wednesday in Denver. First, Girardi decided to put starting pitcher David Phelps in the No. 8 slot in the batting order, leaving catcher Austin Romine to hit eighth. Girardi’s reasoning for that was that he didn’t want to bunch lefty-hitting Brett Gardner, Robinson Cano and [...]
It wasn’t a perfect game and he did allow an infield single, but Matt Harvey was just about as close to perfect as one gets on Tuesday night against the White Sox. Harvey didn’t walk a batter and struck out 12, but since the game went to extra innings because the Mets couldn’t score any [...]
The Mets and Yankees were both off on Monday, but there were three particularly crazy games in baseball. The Blue Jays rallied from a 7-run deficit to beat Tampa Bay in St. Pete, 8-7. Toronto starter Mark Buehrle gave up seven runs in the third inning – highlighted by an Evan Longoria grand slam – [...]
It’s probably not a good idea to make too much of the standings until Memorial Day or so, but let’s see where each division stands through the first five weeks of the season. AL East The Red Sox lead the Yankees and Orioles by 1 1/2 games. Tampa Bay (5 1/2) and Toronto (9 1/2) are [...]
