When the New York Yankees first signed Travis Hafner, I did not agree with the signing. For starters, he has a history of injuries and since 2007, he has only played in more than 100 games of the season one time, in 2010. In 2012, he played in only 66 games. He did have 34 [...]
It must’ve been fun to be a hater of the New York Yankees before this season got started. The Bronx Bombers were finally going to be done. They were old. They were injured. They were too popular and over-hyped for their own worth. Well guess what Yankee haters? It’s time to stand up and admit [...]
It wasn’t so long ago that Phil Hughes‘ status in the New York Yankees rotation was on somewhat shaky ground. The right-hander had lasted all of seven innings through his first two starts on the year, having given up eight runs on 17 hits in the process. After a three-homer debacle on April 13, the [...]
In October of 2011, Ivan Nova was the game two starter in the playoffs for the New York Yankees in what was only his first full season in the majors. Nova’s potential appeared to be through the roof, and he seemed like a guy that would be a fixture in the Yankees’ rotation for years [...]
It is a simple equation: solid pitching plus timely hitting equals baseball victories. The New York Yankees proved that this weekend against the Toronto Blue Jays. Although none of their starters was superb, they kept the team in the game and someone from the odd collection of rejects the Yankees have put together will eventually come through. On [...]
Before the season began, all the experts were predicting the doom of the New York Yankees. Well, so far, things aren’t going too poorly for the Bronx Bombers. With 5-4 win over the preseason darlings, the Toronto Blue Jays, New York upped its record to 14-9. One of the most surprising contributors to the team’s success is [...]
The New York Yankees have just confirmed that pitcher Ivan Nova is going to be on the DL, and they have brought up Triple-A pitcher Vidal Nuno. Nuno had a fantastic Spring Training with the Yankees and has pitched well so far this season, posting a 1.54 ERA through four games and already notching 26 strikeouts. [...]
New York Yankees pitcher Ivan Nova will have to be replaced in the rotation after landing on the DL. The Yankees’ likely choice for fifth starter while Nova is out will be David Phelps, the 26-year-old right hander who is the current long relief man who came in after Nova’s unceremonious exit Friday night, throwing four [...]
There is something about 2013 that is simply not agreeing with the New York Yankees. Two more players, Francisco Cervelli and Ivan Nova, joined the long list of walking wounded for the Bronx Bombers. In the first at bat of the game on Friday night, Cervelli suffered a broken right hand while catching. Two innings later his battery mate, Nova, [...]
