Offense

Yesterday I wrote about the Yankees and their increasingly impatient offense, showing that they haven’t been working the count this season like we’ve seen in the past. It’s unlikely that seeing fewer pitches per plate appearance is...

Power and patience. Those two traits have defined the Yankees’ offense for more than two decades now. They work deep counts and force pitchers to throw a ton of pitches, then take advantage by driving the ball all over the field and homers over...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) – All Broncos fans are waiting for the day quarterback Peyton Manning puts on Bronco orange in a real game, but Monday is a big milestone for Manning and the team. For the first time this year, the entire team will take...

When asked about the team's learning curve this year, linebacker Clint Session didn't talk about his own side of the ball. Instead, his mind went right to the biggest change he's seen on the field.  "I have never seen an offense since I've been...

I don’t know if there’s anything in baseball more frustrating than an underachieving team. If there is, I’m not sure I want to know. The Yankees have underachieved through their first 37 games of the season, but don’t confuse...

For much of April we’d see the most frustrating facts about the middle of the Yankees’ order. They simply weren’t producing, and it was costing the Yankees runs — sometimes in game-changing situations. While the starting pitch...

Glass Half Empty / Afternoon Cloud: Not too much, if anything, to b!tch about here but, here's a try: The Rangers aren't stealing many bases, at least it doesn't see so (of course that's just per the ole eyeball test, haven't looked at stats or...

Robinson Cano might have put on a few big performances early in the season, but for the most part he looked lost at the plate. This is not something we expected to see from the man with the prettiest swing in baseball. He showed signs of recovery in...

Where would the Yankees be right now without Raul Ibanez? The guy so many people wanted gone after a painfully unproductive spring has pulled his weight and then some. His .273/.330/.568 line translates to a 136 OPS+, which ranks behind only Derek Je...

The Yankees have been without Brett Gardner for nearly three weeks now as a bone bruise and right elbow sprain have kept him on the sidelines. His defense in the outfield is very sorely missed and given the club’s recent offensive struggles, ha...
