Yankees comeback falls short after German’s horrendous outing

By -

Domingo German put the Yankees in a hole early with another rough start, and the Yankees were not able to rally off enough runs versus Noah Sydnergaard and the Mets' bullpen as they dropped game one of the Subway Series 7-5.

German gave up extra base hits in bunches as he allowed five of them in only 3.2 innings of work. His control was not sharp as he was constantly missing his spots in pitcher’s counts. Adam Warren relieved German and was not at his best either as he allowed two runs on two hits and three walks.

On the offensive side of the ball, the Yankees chipped away, but fell short. Stanton hit a sac-fly in the third, the only run charged to Thor, to get the Yankees on the board. Then, Neil Walker doubled in a pair to get the Yankees within three runs. In the eighth, Didi Gregorius doubled in a run to make it 6-4, and Stanton grounded out to knock Judge in to make it a one-run game. However, the Yankees failed to score the tying run that inning, and Gsellman locked down the save in the ninth.

The Yankees fall to 62-34 and are now 5.5 games back of Boston in the AL East standings. German was also sent down following the game, and Luis Cessa is expected to take his spot in the rotation. Domingo Acevedo is reportedly going to be called up to replace German on the roster. 

What’s Next?
The Yankees will try to even the series up tomorrow as Sonny Gray will pitch versus Steven Matz. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 PM ET in the Bronx.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
