Offense stifled as Yankees drop series finale versus the White Sox

By -

The Yankees dropped the finale against the White Sox 4-1, despite a quality start by CC Sabathia. This is a very disappointing series loss to a team the Yankees had no business losing to.

The Yankees only offense on the night was a Ronald Torreyes RBI single. The Yankees hit some balls hard and had plenty of opportunities to make some noise, but were never able to capitalize. The team only managed five hits, one for extra bases, off of Reynaldo Lopez, who had a 4.61 ERA coming into tonight’s start. The only highlight for the Yankees on the night was some spectacular defense displayed by Aaron Hicks in centerfield.


Sabathia was certainly good enough for the Yankees to win as he tossed six solid innings and allowed only three runs. Chad Green also allowed one run to score. All four of the White Sox runs came off the bat of LF Ryan LaMarre. He was 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, and 4 RBI. He was a one man wrecking crew for the Sox, but it was still enough to beat the Yankees, who did not have anything going for them tonight. On the defensive side of the ball, Adam Engel continued to rob the Yankees.

What’s next?

The Yankees will begin a four-game stint in the Bronx versus the Detroit Tigers tomorrow. JA Happ will go for win number 16 on the season, and he will be opposed by the southpaw veteran, Francisco Liriano.

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
