Yankees finish the 1st half 6.5 games up on Tampa

Yankees split a 4-Game Series with the Rays. They still have a comfortable lead at 6.5 games. Yankees offense hasn’t really done anything the past 2 days. James Paxton gave the Yankees a quality start going 6 innings striking out 11. The lone run came off of Gardner’s solo shot.



Yankees have had an incredible 1st half to the season. With all the injuries taken place this year, it’s incredible that the Yankees are in 1st place & by a good lead. Injuries include Luis Severino, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Hicks, Clint Frazier, Troy Tulowitzki, Miguel Andujar, Greg Bird & the list goes on. Yankees had an All-Star team of players on the Injured list in 2019. Yankees did acquire OF Cameron Maybin, who has done an excellent job since being acquired. Although, he went on the IL.

As the trading deadline looms, the obvious need is starting pitching. Potential targets include: Tigers’ Matthew Boyd, Indians’ Trevor Bauer, San Francisco Giants’ Madison Bumgarner, BlueJays’ Marcus Stroman, Mets’ Zack Wheeler etc. A few of these options are unlikely to happen but never rule out any trades. Yankees may also look at bullpen help as the situation with Dellin Betances is unknown. There should be a abundant of relievers made available as teams signal they’re out of contention.

It’s been a great 1st half & there’s a lot to look forward to in the 2nd half. Yankees will continue to

 look to acquire pitcher(s) & continue their quest to win a World Series in 2019.

Yankees complete their 1st sweep of the 2019 season

Yankees offense exploded putting out 15 runs today. Gary Sanchez & Clint Frazier both homered multiple times today. Sanchez had 3 & Frazier had 2. Sanchez’s first career 3 homerun game and now leads MLB in homeruns with Dodgers’ Cody Bellinger with 6 . Frazier went 4 for 4 today. Torres continues to rake against the Orioles with 2 hits 1 being a homerun.


Yankees starter German pitched great today. He went 6 innings while just giving up 2 runs and 3 strikeouts also. Tarpley & Cessa came in both to close the game out. Great pitching by the Yankees today.

Yankees look to continue their winning streak has they head to Houston. Tanaka, Loaisiga & Paxton are the starters for the Yankees as each looks to build on their starts and the teams momentum.

Quick Hit: Gary Sanchez and his Fake Cologne Commercial

#IAmGary is the new must-have catcher’s fragrance. It's a grand slam. https://t.co/Qtx9EdMK9V pic.twitter.com/tow14f7OHJ

It’s an off day ladies and gents so let’s have some fun like Gary Sanchez did recently for the New York Yankees. In a recent advertisement for the Yankees website the New York starting catcher starred in a fake commercial for a fake cologne and boy was it priceless.

Adam Warren is also in the commercial that shows a sweaty Sanchez taking slow motion swings in a batting cage. Warren casually finds the IAmGary cologne in his locker and is transported to an alternative universe after smelling the cologne. “Who is Gary?”

“Buy” #IAmGary at your local “retail shops.” Thanks to Yankees on Demand for the tweet and the commercial.
