Carlos Rodon makes $35 million a year, and the Yankees are counting on him to be great for them in the second game of their wild-card matchup against the Boston Red Sox. The Yankees need Rodon to pitch up to his contract and shove it down the Red Sox’s throats in this game. The Yankees…
Max Fried was pumped up for the Yankees to start game 1 in the Wild Card round at home against the Boston Red Sox and Garrett Crochet. Fried vowed to “empty the tank” in the game. However, the Yankees lost the game 3-1, even though Fried did not allow any runs. No team in baseball…
Ben Rice capped off a great regular season by hitting two home runs as the Yankees swept the Baltimore Orioles yesterday. Rice developed this year, and the Yankees have to be happy with that. The Yankees won the game 3-2, though they will be the top wild card because the Toronto Blue Jays won. The…
Cam Schlittler was great in this start for the Yankees today. He benefited from six runs of support, as the Yankees won this game 6-1. It is noteworthy that he lines up to pitch the third game of the wild-card series. We will likely see him there. Schlittler struck out 9 batters in a career-high…
Will Warren faced a significant challenge tonight. He faced Trevor Rogers for the second start in a row. Rodgers sported a microscopic 1.43 earned run average, but allowed three two-run home runs, and his season was over after pitching just three innings. Warren thus got six runs of support right away and seemed to get…

The Yankees won two of three games in Baltimore last week, and they hope to…
Carlos Rodon started this game for the New York Yankees as they looked to sweep the Chicago White Sox. Rodon looked to mow down the White Sox and give the Yankees their fifth game in a row, and with a loss by the Toronto Blue Jays, move into solo possession of first place in the…
The 2025 AL MVP (American League, Most Valuable Player) race is the hottest topic in Major League Baseball. With less than one week remaining in the regular season, what do Cal Raleigh and Aaron Judge still need to do to make their cases stronger to win the 2025 AL MVP award? Who will win? Both…
Max Fried has been pitching great recently. The Yankees had an exciting, walk-off win against the Chicago White Sox last night. Fried is pitching so well that even though the hapless White Sox had no chance against him tonight, the Yankees won 8-1. There was some thought that the Yankees would not play well in…
Luis Gil had a poor effort in his last start. He lasted only 4.2 innings against the Minnesota Twins. With the Yankees about to clinch a playoff spot, the Yankees needed Gil to step up and seize the third slot in the playoff pitching rotation. Since there are six games left in the season, and…
