Yankees 12, Pirates 0: Judge returns, Stanton amazes

Yankees 12, Pirates 0: Judge returns, Stanton amazes

Kim Klement Neitzel-USA TODAY Sports The Yankees got their captain back, and just as encouragingly, Giancarlo Stanton looked as good as he has in years. Spread the news: Aaron Judge is back, and, just maybe, so is Giancarlo Stanton. It’s been a bumpy last week and a half in Yankee camp, with injury concerns arising regarding the Yankees’ most important players. While we won’t see Gerrit Cole for a while, thankfully, Judge’s oblique problems seem minor, and he and his slugging running mate showed out in a 12-0 win over the Pirates. The much-ballyhooed 2-3 combo...

Fans lean toward Stanton remaining a Yankee in 2025

Fans lean toward Stanton remaining a Yankee in 2025

Photo by New York Yankees/ It was a slim margin, both in that department and the vote for AL East favorite. There were no MLB-wide SB Nation Reacts questions to ask in the poll this week, but I did ask a few Yankees-centric prompts back on Tuesday. The first concerned Giancarlo Stanton. The oft-maligned slugger suffered a steep decline in 2023, and since he’s so defensively limited, the pressure is on for a rebound to at least respectability in 2024. Even with the Marlins kicking in $30 million the rest of the way, the Yankees are on the hook for $98 million of...

On the value LeMahieu’s potential resurgence at leadoff

On the value LeMahieu’s potential resurgence at leadoff

Photo by Sarah Stier/ LeMahieu’s 2023 was uncharacteristic and saw him move around the lineup constantly. In 2024, his value as a leadoff hitter could truly separate the top of the Yankees’ order from the rest of the pack. Since the start of Yankees spring training, the talk of the town is Juan Soto, and understandably so. One of the best hitters, if not the best all-around hitter in baseball, has made his way to the Bronx, and naturally, questions have revolved around his spot near the top of the batting order with Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo, and Giancarlo Stanton....

This morning, Josh tackled Pinstripe Alley’s official season preview on Giancarlo Stanton. It’s a difficult task because it’s hard to know what to expect of the former NL MVP at this point in his career. As recently as the first half of 2022, he...

Yankees 2024 Season Preview: Giancarlo Stanton

Photo by New York Yankees/ What does the future have in store for the former MVP? On a personal level, I have a huge amount of respect for Giancarlo Stanton. The man has never wavered once in his time in New York, he’s been deferential and honest and forthright, and he’s had big playoff moments — all things you want from a player who should be a cornerstone of a club as important as the Yankees. On the field, you’d be hard-pressed to say that he hasn’t been a disappointment since that incredible day in December 2017. After the worst season of his MLB career in...

Today on Pinstripe Alley - 3/5/24

Photo by Rick Stewart/ There’s a semi-rare day game after a night game in the spring. If you were bummed to miss out on the Yankees last night since the game wasn’t televised, then today will be better. It’s the Spring Subway Series on ESPN as the Yankees take on the Mets in Port St. Lucie. Huzzah. Today on the site, new staff writer Nick Sarnelli will look back on some small steps taken by Gleyber Torres last year to become a more well-rounded hitter, and Josh will forecast the vast uncertainty that is Giancarlo Stanton’s 2024 season. Also look out for Sam on...
