Earlier in the season I wrote a post explaining that the Yankees had put themselves in first place using the same formula that has worked for them since at least 2009: Great hitting, top flight relief pitching and average starting pitching. The comments to the post didn’t fully accept my hypothesis for two reasons. [...]

The Yankees homer today, they win today.
Although not as elegant and universal as Mariano Duncan’s rallying cry during the 1996 season, this year’s version of the Bronx Bombers have done just fine relying on [...]
Last night during the game, Michael Kay and Paul O’Neill were, of course, discussing the Yankees “problem” (ugh) of hitting too many homers. Kay asked Paulie if it really was harder to hit homers in the playoffs. O’Neill quickly affirmed Kay’s question, citing better starting pitching and the fact that because of that better starting [...]
After a slow start to the 2012 season, the Yankee win machine has gone into overdrive over the last several weeks. The team’s nine game win streak (and counting) is its most visible success, but the Yankees were playing well before they began this string of victories.

As awesome as Derek Jeter’s scorching hot start to the season was, deep down we all knew it was going to come to an end eventually. There were just too many factors playing against him for his low-1.000s OPS and [...]
Last summer, a lot of great content about catcher defense was put out, led by this Mike Fast piece at BP. Catcher defense is something we all know to be important to a team, but we haven’t been quite sure how to quantify it; now, it seems like we’re getting closer [...]

With one-quarter of the season already in the books, the Yankees find themselves in unfamiliar territory. Not only has the Bronx Bombers’ recent slide dropped the team to within one game of the .500 mark, it has [...]

The Yankees’ offense is a victim of high expectations. Whenever the team loses a game or two, it has become fashionable to blame the lineup’s inability to get the “big hit” and lament all of the men [...]

The fun part about small sample sizes is the room for interpretation they leave when analyzing a player’s numbers and trying to identify what he’s doing right or wrong. It’s pretty easy to look at a full season’s worth of [...]
Ivan the Lucky?

Is Ivan Nova lucky or good?
Despite going an impressive 16-4 during his rookie season, Nova’s peripherals have been a major source of skepticism. Because of his low K/9 rate of 5.3 and relatively high WHIP of 1.331 in [...]
