Today on Pinstripe Alley - 9/9/24

A new week in September awaits.

A sweep was not to be, with the Yankees offense again going to sleep and squandering a chance to take three in a row in Chicago. Thanks to the Rays’ win in Baltimore, though, they remain in first place, and can expand that lead with a strong showing at home this week. Carlos Rodón will try to start that effort tonight in a matchup with Brady Singer.

Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon remain close friends; Aaron Boone reacts to Nestor’s comments; Austin Wells has become a defensive force; Duke Ellis optioned

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Yesterday’s matchup between the Yankees and Cubs saw a good ol’ fashioned pitchers’ duel between Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon.

Yankees 1, Cubs 2: Cole betrayed by first-inning botch, paltry offense

Matt Marton-Imagn Images

Gerrit Cole and the Yankees’ pitching were outstanding once again in Sunday’s loss.

We were bombarded most of the game with photos and anecdotes about Gerrit Cole’s close friendship with Cubs starter Jameson Taillon. While the two are certainly friends off the field, they seemed engaged in some one-upsmanship at Wrigley Field, both spinning strong starts — although the Yankee fan in me gives Cole more credit for skill and Taillon less because of how...

A pair of two-time teammates square off to close out the series on the North Side

After three pretty disappointing series against middling to bad teams, the Yankees could sure use a sweep, and being only 0.5 games up on the Orioles entering play, every win counts. Fortunately, they have their best on the mound as they look for a third-straight win over the Chicago Cubs, with Gerrit Cole squaring off against his best friend in the game, former Yankee Jameson...

Yankees hope to get veteran utilityman back from injury soon

Days before Opening Day, the Yankees would acquire Jon Berti from the Marlins to shore up the infield. Unfortunately, the speedy infielder has been unable to make much of an impact due to various lower-body injuries that have held him back all season.

The Yankees have a secret ingredient returning to the bullpen

The Yankees‘ bullpen is in dire need of support, especially with closer Clay Holmes leading the league with 11 blown saves this season. On Saturday, manager Aaron Boone made a strategic move by deploying Nestor Cortes as a key bullpen arm to relieve Clarke Schmidt.

In light of the Babe’s “called shot” jersey being auctioned off for a staggering $12.6 million, which novelty items from Yankees history would be the coolest to have?

The Yankees are dominating in one way where their presence is always felt: the memorabilia market. Babe Ruth’s “called shot” jersey from Game 3 of the 1932 World Series was sold at auction last week for $24 million. It shattered a world record for...

1999 Yankees Diary: Keeping pace in KC

Mariano Rivera’s 40th save helped New York take down KC 9-5

As New York entered this game in Kansas City, skipper Joe Torre was a bit concerned. Throughout the ‘99 campaign, the Bronx Bombers tended to play down to the their opponents, in Torre’s estimation. (Sound familiar?)

Having already tried various approaches, Torre spoke to the club before first pitch, asking them why they thought they’d failed to get up for some games. Everyone agreed this game was a big one, and Tino...
