Michael Pineda Is….Large
Photo: Bobby Martinez/NYPost.com I watched Pineda’s two innings against the Phillies today, and he’s quite a presence on the mound. Not CC big, but big. He said (or the Yankees said) that he came to...

Okay, so this season is not getting off to a great start. Kuroda was scarily unimpressive. Eduardo Scissorhands made an error – already. Rapada should only pitch to lefties and he should only get them...

…if you thought the Yankees’ starting pitching would be a problem. I’m putting a finger up, not a whole hand. I thought we’d have a great rotation going into spring training, except for Garcia, last...
View ArticleEduardo Scissorhands Didn’t Make An Error!

There’s nothing like a comeback win. What a great game it turned out to be. I was all mopey before the Yankees scored their five big runs in the eighth. Chris Sale is a really good pitcher (Can we...
