Yankees Figured Out How to Win in Extra Innings

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Thu, 3 Sep 2026 17:00:00 +0000

After stubbing their toe in the first game against the woeful Angels, the Yankees rebounded to win the middle game pretty easily, then rode a great Cam Schlittler pitching performance and a rare eruption of success in extra innings to win the rubber game in Anaheim.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley break down an interesting series, one the Yankees needed to sweep but at least took two of three, and they pulled within 3.5 games of the Rays and moved five ahead of the Red Sox in the AL East.

Yankees Win Biggest Series of Season Over Red Sox

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 11:16:00 +0000

After two offensively ugly games (one of which they still managed to win), the Yankees exploded for 25 runs combined in the final two and pummeled the Red Sox at Red Sox. By winning this series, they also clinched the season series which could be important in determining homefield advantage for their looming wild-card showdown.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley break down a momentous week of Yankees baseball in the Bronx, a series to celebrate for sure.

George Lombard's Glove Has Turned to Stone as Yankees Lose Series to Astros

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 13:22:00 +0000

Dropping two of three to a mediocre Astros team was not ideal for the Yankees, especially with the Red Sox coming to town for a four-game series that is without question the biggest of the season.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley discuss the highs and lows - oh my, George Lombard, what is going on? - across the Houston series, and then look ahead to Boston's visit to the Bronx.

Another Series Win, But Another Big Injury

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 11:19:00 +0000

The Yankees suffered another key injury to the pitching staff as Ryan Weathers went down Saturday, they also announced that Giancarlo Stanton got hurt again, meaning he's probably not coming back. Through all that, they earned a solid series win over the Blue Jays. Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley break it all down.

Yankees Avoid Sweep, But Offense is Still Terrible

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 11:51:00 +0000

At some point, it has to get better, doesn't it? The Yankees' offense is so utterly terrible, it's hard to come up with new words to describe the ineptness of it all.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley give it a try, though, in the latest episode of Pinstripe People. Ben Rice, who nearly became the goat, saved the Yankees from a sweep Sunday with a 10th-inning home run, but the Yankees scored just six runs total in losing two of three to the Blue Jays.

Yankees Offense Was Fun, For One Night

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 11:45:00 +0000

The Yankees took two of three from the Mariners in a battle of terrible offensive teams. Wednesday night, the Yankees scored 10 runs and it was just the fifth time in 49 games where they scored five or more. That's crazy bad, but the Mariners were worse in this series as they scored a grand total of seven runs.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley look back on a series victory that featured another outstanding set of pitching performances by the Yankees, but was also frustrating because of their continued inability to hit in two of the games.

The Yankees' Kids are All Right

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 11:49:00 +0000

It's way too early to know, but the current crop of Yankees' prospects could be in line to lay the foundation for the potential next great team. The Yankees won a series against the Braves, and some of the biggest contributions came from Cam Schlittler, George Lombard Jr., Ben Rice and Spencer Jones.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley discuss the new group of kids and share thoughts on what they could mean to the franchise if they live up to the hype, and they break down the three games against Atlanta which helped them stay ahead of the Red Sox in the race for second place in the AL East.

Right Now, The Yankees are Unwatchable

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Thu, 6 Aug 2026 19:29:00 +0000

The Yankees called up George Lombard Jr. and he made a dynamic MLB debut Tuesday both in the field and at the plate, but not even the top prospect's arrival was enough to beat the Cardinals who took two of three games in yet another demoralizing, deplorable offensive showing by the Yankees.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley break down a very hectic three-game series that included a depressingly inactive trade deadline, a terrible outing by Cam Schlittler, and an offense that went 1-for-18 with runners in scoring position. Oh, and the Yankees now have as many losses as the Red Sox.

Massively Disappointing Trade Deadline for Yankees

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Mon, 3 Aug 2026 18:54:00 +0000

To say the Yankees had an underwhelming couple days leading up to the MLB trade deadline would be a massive understatement. While so many contenders made big moves to improve their teams, the Yankees made two trades that brought a couple of decent hitters to the Bronx.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley came in hot on this episode because neither was impressed by what Brian Cashman did. Hey, maybe Luis Garcia Jr. and Heliot Ramos will help, but to not have addressed several glaring holes in the lineup seemed almost criminal.

Putrid Offense is Killing the Yankees

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 11:41:00 +0000

The Yankees just can't hit, it's as simple as that, and even ever-optimistic manager Aaron Boone is reaching his boiling point watching the never-ending misery that is the Yankees offense.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley come in hot after watching the Yankees score in just three of 23 innings and go 4-for-31 with runners in scoring position across the last two extra-inning losses to the White Sox. This is about as bad as it gets, and if the Yankees don't acquire reinforcements at the trade deadline, it's hard to see them coming out of this offensive malaise that has lingered for nearly six weeks.

Cody Bellinger's Injury Casts Shadow Over Series Win in Philly

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 12:02:00 +0000

The Yankees started a tough 10-game road trip against three playoff contenders by taking two of three games against the Phillies. Unfortunately, they still lost a game in the standings to the Rays who are back on another roll.

Winning two of three was nice, but the Yankees' offense is still under-performing, and now it will be without another star player as Cody Bellinger suffered a hamstring injury and landed on the IL.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley break down the three games, and Mike shares some thoughts on his visit to Cooperstown for the Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Max Fried is back, Yankees' bats remain AWOL

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 12:36:00 +0000

Max Fried made an earlier than expected return to the Yankees rotation and he delivered five quality innings Wednesday which helped the Yankees get a split of their doubleheader against the Pirates which also secured a series win.

Gerrit Cole was very good in the opener, but the Yankees' offense failed him in an extra-inning loss. The Yankees' collective incompetence at the plate has now reached five weeks and there's no end in sight, and it's only because of their pitching that they are still just 2.5 games behind the Rays.

Sal and Mike break down the Pirates series, the return of Fried, and what has to change to wake up the bats.

The Yankees Offense Remains Abysmal

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 11:51:00 +0000

It's hard to feel good about the Yankees, even though they gained ground in the AL East despite managing to win just one of three against the dynastic Dodgers. Their entire lineup - except Ben Rice - remains in a crippling slump as they scored just five runs in this series, and if not for a timely Jazz Chisholm home run Sunday night, they probably would have gotten swept at Yankee Stadium.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley break down the series and discuss all the things that are plaguing the Yankees, and Mike brings up a point - after watching Japanese stars Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki - about why can't the Yankees tap into the Far East baseball market?

What Should We Make of the Steinbrenner Ownership Legacy?

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 12:18:00 +0000

If you haven't read it yet, Yankees fans have to get a copy of New York Post columnist Mike Vaccaro's latest book, The Bosses of the Bronx, a richly-detailed history of the Steinbrenner family's ownership tenure of the franchise, guaranteed to have behind-the-scenes stories and anecdotes you've never heard anywhere else.

Mike joined co-hosts Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley for a great discussion about the book and what he learned through his research, and we also discuss the current edition of the Yankees and where they stand as they begin the push to overtake the Rays in the AL East, starting with a statement series against the two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend.

Yankees Gear Up For AL East Chase

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:39:00 +0000

The All-Star Break is over and now the Yankees have plenty of work to do as they try to run down Tampa Bay in the AL East and hopefully earn the best record in the American League and the first-round playoff bye that comes with that.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley share some thoughts on what has transpired to this point and where the Yankees need to improve over the final 66 games of the regular season and it starts with catcher, bullpen, and maybe shortstop.

Yankees Sweep Nationals in Dramatic Fashion

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 12:11:00 +0000

For those who didn't already know it, the Nationals have the worst bullpen in MLB and the Yankees exploited it by rallying from behind late in all three games to pull off a sweep in Washington. There were big home runs, solid starting pitching and mostly outstanding work from the much-maligned bullpen which right now is pitching better than anyone thinks.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley break down all three games and take a look at where the Yankees stand as they enter the post-All-Star, pre-trade deadline portion of the season.

Yankees Get Much-Needed Split With Rays

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 12:39:00 +0000

Although there was some continued awful offense in the first three games of their huge series against the Rays, the Yankees earned a split because Cam Schlittler was an ace in the opener, and the bats finally woke up with a 12-run outburst in the finale.

Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley discuss the entirety of the series including Schlittler's dominant performance, back-to-back 17-strikeout games for the offense which set a new team futility record, the big six-run third inning Thursday against Drew Rasmussen, and then the comments Brian Cashman made to reporters regarding Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.

Yankees Have Reached a New Low Point

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Mon, 6 Jul 2026 12:16:00 +0000

When you can't hit, can't pitch and can't field, it's going to be pretty tough to win games in Major League Baseball. So it should be no surprise to anyone that the Yankees, who do any of those three fundamental pillars of the sport, have lost nine of 10 games and 12 of their last 15.

The Twins came into the Bronx and won the final two games to take the series, and the Yankees were about as lifeless in those two games as you could possibly imagine. Things have gone completely in the tank and if the Yankees don't find a way to reverse course, they're going to be buried behind the first-place Rays, who they meet starting Monday for a critical four-game series in Tampa.

Yankees Sink to a New Low, Swept by the Tigers

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Wed, 1 Jul 2026 21:15:00 +0000

Every team goes through a rough patch, or two, or three, during a major-league season, but right now the Yankees are in the midst of a seven-game losing streak during which they have embarrassed themselves in every phase of the game. It can't possibly get any worse this, right? They can't hit, they can't pitch, they can't field, nothing the manager is doing is working out, and they are sinking like a stone in the AL East as they have been caught and zoomed right past by the red-hot Rays. These are bad times in the Bronx, and Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley break down all the horror in this episode.

Beatdown in Beantown: Yankees Embarrased by Red Sox

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 14:14:00 +0000

It was almost unfathomable how poorly the Yankees played at Fenway Park, losing all four games to the last-place Red Sox. This wasn't just about their inept offense which produced a .133 team batting average and managed just three hits in each of the last three games.

This was a total team meltdown as their starting pitching was uncharacteristically poor, their bullpen was shaky as it has been all year, and the defense was bad enough to lead to eight unearned Red Sox runs. Just a complete catastrophe, made worse by the fact that it was a division rival doing the dominating.

Yankees Overcome Lollipopgate, Take Down Tigers

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 19:28:00 +0000

The Yankees went into Detroit and took two of three against a Tigers team that is desperate to turn its season around. After losing the opener on a night when Jazz was being Jazz creating Lollipopgate, he came back in the middle game and crushed a go-ahead homer to key a Yankees victory. And then in the finale, Paul Goldschmidt homered twice and Jasson Dominguez once off Detroit superstar Tarik Skubal for one of their most impressive wins of the season.

Yankees Lay an Egg Against Reds

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 13:11:00 +0000

The Yankees had no business losing a series at home to the Reds, but here we are. They saw their AL East lead over the Rays dip to two games, and it was a combination of a lot of things going sour, at least after the Friday game when Cam Schlittler struck out a career-high 13 batters.

Sal and Mike break down the three games, all the things that went wrong, and they also discuss the rumors about the Yankees being involved in the Tarik Skubal trade rumors, the decision to send JC Escarra back to the minors to make room for returning Austin Wells, Anthony Volpe's continued struggles to throw from shortstop and his future with the team.

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 11:58:00 +0000

In this debut episode, Sal Maiorana and Mike Lindsley break down the Yankees' series victory over the Chicago White Sox where the bats were explosive in the first two games, then went to sleep Thursday night. Spencer Jones is also a big topic as he continued to show signs of life in his second recall this year, homering on Tuesday and playing a solid center field.

Camilo Doval blew the Thursday game, and Sal and Mike are both of the opinion that he simply can't be relied on in a high leverage situation and better yet, Brian Cashman should just cut his losses and get rid of him.

Also, Sal and Mike talk about Ryan Weathers who had a nice start Thursday but still seems like the odd man out in the rotation eventually, and Carlos Rodon who grinded through his start on Wednesday.
