Gleyber Torres’ brutal Yankees day prompts meeting with Aaron Boone
After a poor showing in virtually every aspect of this season, Gleyber Torres accepted responsibility in a brief interview with the media. He could have left the visitors’ clubhouse at Citi Field and been on his way home before the distraction hit. Manager Aaron Boone asked to talk to him. The two spoke after the […]
Mashing Mets look like playoff team as Yankees’ issues fester
The Yankees have looked like the best team in baseball for a long time and still have the most wins (tied with the Phillies), while the Mets still hold a losing record after failing to beat a team like the Marlins six weeks ago. But, at least for now, it’s fair to wonder where the […]
Yankees’ Aaron Judge turned ugly defeat into tight loss
A night that was mostly a failure overall for the Yankees was made almost ridiculous by Aaron Judge. The end result was a 9-7 loss to the Mets on Tuesday night at Citi Field, but Judge closed it out with a grand slam in the eighth inning for his 29th career home run and 81st […]
Mets survive late Yankees’ rally to win Subway Series opener
The Mets removed two key players from their active roster on Tuesday and then added some new faces to a team that has recently shown explosive offense. Just to add to this, they took on their city rivals and their ace. Either Gerrit Cole is still in bad shape or the Mets are just swinging […]
J.D. Davis cannot get over ‘surreal’ chance to play with Yankees
J.D. Davis was out of work for a few days, but when he bounced back he was back in the running and on a bigger stage. The Yankees acquired Davis from the last-place Athletics on Sunday to bolster their faltering core, but he arrived at Citi Field on Tuesday as part of the first-place team […]
Yankees need DJ LeMahieu and Gleyber Torres to have their Luis Gil moment
Luis Gil starts the final game of the two-game Subway Series on Wednesday night, but if he overturns the worst start of his career last week with another poor performance and continues to do so for the remainder of this season, he will have done his job for 2024. The Yankees had to get through […]
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. changes tune on potential Yankees trade
One of the Yankees’ fiercest rivals may be open to playing in New York. Toronto first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., speaking to Spanish outlet Virus Deportivo before the Blue Jays-Red Sox game in Boston on Monday, said he wouldn’t play in the Bronx “even if I had to die” in 2022, but expressed openness to […]
How Mets, Yankees remember Subway Series classic Matt Franco Game
The Subway Series still had that new car smell, that incredible atmosphere and that October tension. The city celebrated the second anniversary of the revived Subway Series (Yankees vs. Mets), soaking up every bit of something that had been thought extinct for 40 years. “People were walking into a dream world,” then-Mets manager Bobby Valentine […]
Subway Series a chance for Yankees to reset amid rough patch
The Yankees entered the Subway Series in tough circumstances for the first time this season. The Yankees had lost just three of their first 22 series this season but have now lost three straight series heading into Tuesday’s showdown with the Mets at Citi Field. But the chance to play two games under slightly better […]
Yankees, Mets reach Subway Series facing similar issues
By the end of May, the Yankees were 40-19 and the best team in the American League, playing flawlessly. Their starting pitching was the best in baseball. Their offensive line featured two MVP candidates. Clay Holmes had a 1.48 ERA. The Yankees (52-28) still sit atop the AL East and will probably be OK, but […]
