Yankees struggles continue , the Roll Call Squad breakdown everything from the past week and tell you how the Bombers should proceed with the rest of the season!
In the first series of the 2021 MLB season between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees, the BoSox came to the Bronx and swept their foe in the Bronx for the first time since 2011, including a 6-5 victory in 10 innings on Sunday night. The Bombers fell to 4th Place in the AL East, 6 games back of the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Yankees are 13-17 against teams from the AL East and New York has a collective batting average of .226 this season, led by Aaron Judge with an average of .291. Over their last 10 games, the Bronx Bombers are just 4-6, with a .221 batting average, a 2.91 ERA, and have been outscored by six runs.

The Yankees have not been able to drive in runners in scoring position, and while they are hitting, haven't delivered big hits. The pitching staff, other than Gerrit Cole, has been terrible this week. Is it time to hit the panic button? (of course not)
Despite solid starting pitching, the Yankees are 3-3 after 6 games. Defense has been an issue, and the team has struggled to produce with runners in scoring position. We'll break down the Yanks first week of the 2021 season
Gary Sanchez put the Yankees up early with a monster home run, but the Bombers came up short to the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2 in 10 innings. We'll preview the rest of the series and New York's 2021 Season.

NYY also signed RHP Jhoulys Chacin to a minor league contract, and acquired OF Greg Allen from San Diego in exchange for LHP James Reeves.
The Yankees Off Season has been slow to develop, but General Manager Brian Cashman announced he wants "10 more years of Aaron Boone".

Gleyber Torres is safe at shortstop, but Gary Sanchez might find his job in jeopardy. Get the state of the Yankees breakdown with a preview of the off season.
Jordan Montgomery gave the Yankees just enough, the offense scored just enough runs, and bullpen pitched it's best game of the ALDS. It all comes down to Game 5, Gerrit Cole on 3 days rest VS Tyler Glasnow on 2 days! And, RIP to the Chairman of the Board, as Yankee Legend Whitey Ford has passed away.
After out-managing himself in Game 2, Aaron Boone needed impending free agent Masahiro Tanaka to bail him out, but Masa lasted just 4 innings and allowed 5ER. Giancarlo Stanton hit a two-run homer to center field in the eighth inning to become the first player with a home run in each of his team's first five games of a single postseason, and now has six homers and 13 RBI in those five games. Can Jordan Montgomery save the Yankees Season?
The NY Yankees hit 4 HRs in 9-3 game 1 win over Rays, they have 11 dingers in 3 postseason games (An MLB Record) and became 1st AL Team in history with back to back Grand Slams. Deivi Garcia and Tyler Glasnow face off in Game 2 tonight.
Game 1: Gerrit Cole (7-3 2.84 ERA) vs Blake Snell (4-2 3.24 ERA)
Yankees 14-6 in last 20
Rays 6-0 in last 6
Both Swept ALWCS
Yankees are averaging 5.44 runs per game this season (No. 4 in MLB).
The Yankees are surrendering 4.55 runs per game this season (No. 14 in MLB).
Tampa Bay is averaging 4.84 runs per game this season (No. 12 in MLB).
Tampa Bay is surrendering 3.74 runs per game this season (No. 4 in MLB).
The New York Yankees swept their Wild Card Series with the number 4 seeded Cleveland Indians, and now face the Tampa Bay Rays in the next round of the MLB Playoffs. Get a review of the series and a look around the league
Aaron Judge smashed a 2-run homer on Shane Bieber's 4th pitch of the game, Gerrit Cole struck out 13 in his New York playoff debut and the Yankees opened AL wild-card series with a 12-3 win over the Cleveland Indians. Gerrit Cole's 13Ks were 2nd-most by a Yankees pitcher in postseason history. The best-of-3 series continues tonight with Carlos Carrasco trying to save Cleveland's season against Masahiro Tanaka.
The No. 5 seed NY Yankees will head to Cleveland and face the No. 4 seed Indians in the first round of the playoffs beginning on Tuesday. Game 1: Bieber vs. Cole Game 2:
Plesac vs. Tanaka Game 3: Carassco vs. Happ. The Yankees hit 64 home runs this season at home, most in the Majors, but hit only hit 27 on the road, the fourth fewest in the MLB. The Bombers also finished the year with an 11-18 (.379) record on the road. Will losing home-field advantage be costly?
The New York Yankees are 2nd in AL East, 3 games ahead of the 3rd place Blue Jays. The Tampa Rays clinched first in the division Wednesday by defeating the New York Mets 8-5. The Bombers still have a chance to advance in the seedings to gain home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
The Yankees were 5-15 during a 20-game slide, before getting a 7-2 win against Toronto in Buffalo on September 9th, and have outscored their opponents 61-13 during this run. The winning streak has elevated New York to the 5th seed in the American League and within three games of the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays. It's all about the Starting Pitching, but all those Home Runs Help too!
Deivi Garcia won his first major league game as the Yankees was ended a 5 game losing streak behind 4 RBI from Gleyber Torres in a 7-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees had lost 15 of 20, prompting General manager Brian Cashman had made a rare road trip to talk to the team before Tuesday night's loss. What’s wrong with the Yankees, and what’s the key to turning it around in the last 3 weeks.
The Yankees are 2-8 against the Tampa Bay Rays after losing 5-2 in the Bronx Wednesday. The Yankees bullpen has a 5.61 ERA since August 9th, and the injury depleted lineup is hitting just .202 since August 18th. New York is 4.5 games behind the Rays in the AL East, but things aren't as bad as they seem.
The Yankees have lost 5 in a row, they are dealing with injuries, they can't seem to beat the Tampa Bay Rays, and starting pitching has been an issue. How do the Bombers get it turned around?
The New York Yankees have dominated their opponents in 2020, except for the Tampa Bay Rays. The Bombers have been terrible in Tampa, and have been just as bad against the Rays in the Bronx, falling to 1-6 on the year. Plus, more injury news for the Bronx Bombers, including updates on Zack Britton, Gleyber Torres, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and DJ LeMahieu.
The Yankees swept a 2 game set from the Braves and are set to take on the Boston Red Sox for 4 games starting on Friday. Aaron Judge may not be ready for the start of the series as he deals with "lingering lower body issues". Giancarlo Stanton is out 3-4 weeks, which means Clint Frazier got his shot, and he made the most of it.
The Yankees are off to a 9-3 start, and while stars like Gleyber Torres and Gary Sanchez have struggled, the team has set HR records in it's first dozen games. The rotation isn't off to a great start for guys not named Gerrit Cole, but Masahiro Tanaka stepped up big in his last start. Get all the latest stats and news on the 2020 New York Yankees.
Yankees are 3-1 for the first time since 2011. Gerrit Cole improves to 2-0 as a Yankee. DJ, Judge, and Hicks go deep. LeMahieu with four hits. Last night was the first time in franchise history the Yankees had 2 catchers interference in the same inning. We'll dig into the Yankee's start and take a look around the league as MLB deals with Covid.
After a long delay to the #MLB season due to the global pandemic we can say baseball and our beloved #Yankees are back! The chase for championship #28 begins as the Bombers face off versus the Washington Nationals on Opening Day. The Roll Call crew discusses what the unprecedented season could have in store for the Yankees, winners and losers with the long delay and more on this week's episode of The Roll Call Show presented by #CMGPodcasts

RIP HANK
Hank Steinbrenner, general partner and co-chairperson of the Yankees, died at his Clearwater, Fla., residence due to a long-standing health issue surrounded by family members.
According to a source, the cause of death was not COVID-19.
The 63-year-old Steinbrenner was in his 13th year as general partner and 11th as co-chairperson.
With George Steinbrenner’s health failing in the late 2000s, Hank Steinbrenner, dubbed “Baby Boss,” took on a more active role and displayed a resemblance to his father’s bold approach to running the club. George Steinbrenner passed away in July 2010.
However, in recent years Hank Steinbrenner hasn’t been seen around the Yankees much and heard from less as the more reserved Hal Steinbrenner moved to the forefront of the operation, serving as the public face of the Yankees and representing the club at owners’ meetings.
WILL THEY PLAY IN 2020
Major League Baseball and the Players Union have discussed a plan that would potentially allow the baseball season to start as early as May... I think July is a more realistic timeframe and without fans.
ON THE BUMP
During spring training that was dramatically shortened by MLB due to the spread of the coronavirus, Happ was well on his way to proving his worth to the Yankees. Jordan Mongomery impressed the least as he pitched to an ERA of 7.40 in four games, newly acquired ace Gerrit Cole only managed an ERA of 7.00, Masahiro Tanaka was second best, in three games had a 1-0 record with an impressive 2.08 ERA. The best pitcher in spring training was J.A. Happ; he went 2-0 with an incredible 1.38 ERA in 14 innings. Happ hopes to carry his performance into the regular season, and have an impact getting the Yankees to the World Series.
BEAT HITTER
Aaron Judge in ‘19 (102 games): 141 wRC+, .381 OBP, .921 OPS, 27 HR
(wRC is weighted Runs created)
It's adjusted, so a wRC+ of 100 is league average and 150 would be 50 percent above league average.
DJ LeMahieu in ‘19 (145 games): 136 wRC+, .375 OBP, .893 OPS, 26 HR
Judge was BETTER last year and is still the BEST hitter on the Yankees.
IL UPDATE
Aaron Judge has been dealing with a stress fracture in his first right rib that is believed to come from a play from last season in which he dove for a ball in the outfield. Judge had missed the first few games of Spring Training due to this and it wasn’t likely that he was going to be healthy for the originally scheduled Opening Day.
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone provided an update on the star right fielder’s progress.
“He’s in Tampa,” Boone told to Yes Network’s Meredith Marakovits. “We’re using this time, he’s using this time to continue to heal. I don’t really have much more for you other than, obviously, it’s been very productive having the chance to have this time to allow that rib to heal. That is happening. But as for where he’s at exactly, we don’t have anything for you on that yet.”
Opening Day has been pushed back at least two months now, so this time off could be beneficial for the star slugger. Judge might be able to recover fully in time for the new Opening Day. Teammates James Paxton, Giancarlo Stanton, and Aaron Hicks are in a similar situation as the MLB shutdown might allow these players to heal up before the pending season begins.
Giancarlo Stanton’s Grade 1 calf strain was expected to have him ready on or close to Opening Day. Boone gave an update on him as well, saying he should definitely be cleared to play at this point.
"Giancarlo's doing well. He's still reporting in Tampa and going through his rehab," he said. "He's doing really well -- he should, when we get ready to go, he should certainly be ready to be back and part of things."
And finally, James Paxton's surgery to remove a cyst from his back had a timeframe or end-of-May/early-June before returning to the mound. He was shooting for mid-May, but either way, he should be able to come back.
He's been throwing bullpen sessions on his own, and after his latest one, Boone said the progression continues.
"James Paxton's done great," he explained. "Feel really good about the decision to go ahead with the surgery and every step of the way it's gone pretty smoothly for him. I think he threw, maybe, his fifth bullpen the other day and continues to report that it's going really well, so really encouraged where James is as well."

Roll Call 2/27/20
Sevy Done For the Year, Stanton Out Indefinitely
Clovercrestmedia.com/therollcallpodcast
Giancarlo Stanton Grade 1 right calf strain. Boone: “he will be down a bit.” Made it sound unlikely he will be ready for the start of the season.
Stanton's calf strain occured at the end of his defensive work yesterday, Boone said. He stayed back from the Blue Jays trip with most of the veterans. Got the MRI result, and it didn’t look good.
Since the start of 2019, Giancarlo Stanton has missed time with:
A strained left biceps
A strained left shoulder
A strained left calf
A strained right PCL
A strained right quad
A strained right calf
Luis Severino is headed for Tommy John surgery and expected to miss the 2020 season after a dye contrast MRI revealed a partial UCL tear in his elbow.
The 2019 Yankees medical staff clearing Luis Severino to pitch a potential Game 7 in the ALCS after complaining about forearm pain following Game 3 was their final parting gift.
He threw just 20 innings between the regular season and postseason last season.
At this time last year, Severino was viewed as one of the majors’ best SPs and there was some criticism that he had taken a 4-yr, $40M extension from the Yankees rather than seek more or go year to year. He will have 5 starts total between 2019-20 now.
A dye contrast MRI finally revealed a partial UCL tear in Luis Severino. He is headed for Tommy John surgery and will miss the 2020 season. Testing also revealed pain in the area of the ligament for the first time. Brian Cashman said in-house competition will fill his spot.
It won’t be Devi Garcia.. and I like Clarke Schmidt as much as anyone, but I don’t think he breaks the team out of camp, AAA and Schmidt only has 19 innings in AA. He’s probably a mid season call up, at best, if at all.
Jordan Montgomery and JA Happ are probably slotted in behind Gerrit Cole and Masahiro Tanaka. Maybe Chad Green as an opener on 5th starter days.. or Jonathon Loaisiga.. Luis Cessa will get a start or two..
The Yankees are loaded with young arms in Michael King, Devi Garcia, Clarke Schmidt, that may get a chance to step up. James Paxton is going to start throwing next week, and says he’ll be back in May. Domingo German comes back in the beginning of June.
The Lineup?
C - Sanchez
1B - Voit
2B - LeMahieu
3B - Urshela
SS - Torres
LF - Frazier (looks good so far)
CF - Tauchman
RF - Judge
DH - Andujar
Utility- Wade
OF - Gardner
Catcher- Higashioka
1B-DH- Mike Ford
Yankees likely to start season on IL:
Hicks, Paxton, Severino, Stanton
The Yankees won 103 games and barely missed the World Series last year without Luis Severino and Giancarlo Stanton for most of the season.
They’ve since added Gerrit Cole and have Miguel Andujar back.
Don’t overreact to the injuries. This season will still be great for the Bronx Bombers. They have to get off to a decent start, and get guys back in May and June and then go win us a World Series.

Big news in the off-season has changed the landscape of the #MLB when the #Yankees acquired #GerritCole making him the highest paid pitcher in the majors. The evil empire is back and is flexing their financial muscles! The Roll Call Crew discusses their initial reactions, what the move means in the upcoming season and more on this live show of The Roll Call Show presented by #CMGPodcasts.
Yankee pitchers had a post-season ERA of 2.27 against two of the best hitting teams in the game. I can only imagine what that ERA would be if Ottovino had pitched as well as he has normally.
General manager Brian Cashman might be making decisions for the New York Yankees at the executive level, but the influence of Hal Steinbrenner cannot be overlooked. The owner of the Bronx Bombers stated that the team doesn’t need to add to their starting pitching rotation with Luis Severino and Jordan Montgomery returning in featured roles next season.
“For the most part, I think our starting pitching was good this year,’’ Steinbrenner said. “Even missing [Luis] Severino and [Jordan] Montgomery [for most or all of the season due to injuries].”
He didn’t say they aren’t going to sign a Free Agent pitcher. Why are people saying this? You’re dealing with Scott Boras on Cole, Strasburg and Rendon.. it’s been suggested Zack Wheeler might be an option.
Paxton
Severino
Tanaka
Happ
German?
Montgomery
Green
Garcia
King
Seven #Yankees have officially become free agents: Dellin Betances, Brett Gardner, Cory Gearrin, Didi Gregorius, Cameron Maybin, Austin Romine & CC Sabathia. (Yes, CC is retired)
The Yankees did not make a qualifying offer to Didi Gregorius.
Aroldis Chapman will not opt out of his deal with the Yankees, who added another year at $18M to his current contract, a source confirmed. So the closer is now signed through 2022 for a total of $48M.

The Bomber are nearly back to .500 after taking it to Chris Sale and The World Champion Red Sox in a 2 game sweep. The IL is growing, but there is some good news to share. Miguel Andujar might be back soon and there is positive news on Didi Gregorious, plus we highlight the Yankees standouts of the week.
The Yankees followed a sweep of the O’s by getting swept by the Stros. It’s been uncharacteristic mistakes and sloppy play. That won’t be an issue going forward and this team is dealing with injury issues as well. We’ll tell you how and why the New York Yankees turnaround is coming.
The Yankees have a major league high 11 player on the IL, and have lost opening week series to Baltimore and Detroit, but things will be fine. We'll explain what exactly the problem is and how the Bombers can fix it.
The Yankees had a great opening day win and walked away with mostly positives. We break down opening day, discuss the Yankees prospects for 2019, and make bold predictions for this year’s Bombers.. all that and more on this week’s Roll Call Podcast
The Yankees do have some injury and depth concerns with their ace and starting centerfielder on the shelf to begin the season, we'll explain why that's not as big a deal as some would think, and it might actually be a blessing in disguise. Plus, we're talking big contracts, why the sudden hate for Derek Jeter and more, on this week's Roll Call Podcast
WEEK 3 Calm down about Tulo, Frazier and Sanchez... Greg Bird is the Babe Ruth of spring training... when guys play well, you want to make them the MVP, and when they struggle you want to cut them.. wait until May. Let's see what happens.. its not a video game, you don't 30 HRs from all 9 spot in the order.. Suddenly people are deciding gary sanchez isn't a good catcher after having an injury plagued season. Looks good behind the plate, has a cannon of an arm and he's still a stud. ESPN ranked Judge the 11th best player? WTF?
The Yankees just signed Aaron Hicks and Luis Severino to long term extensions, and now they are both hurt. Do the Yankees need more depth? With Sevy out, who gets the opening day nod? Bird VS Voit has been close, we'll tell you why one of them definitely won't be on the opening day roster. Clint Frazier also won't be breaking camp with the Bombers, we'll tell you why and who might get some of Red Thunder's Playing time... we'll also project the Opening Day roster and what kind of season to expect from Aaron Judge.. All Rise! It's The Roll Call Podcast!
Everyone is talking about Bryce Harper’s New Deal, but we prefer Aaron Hicks 7 year $70 million dollar deal. Plus why we think the Hicks deal is good for baseball, while Harper’s deal is not. Troy Tulowitzki is killing it so far, we’ll tell you what that means for Greg Bird and Luke Voit. A Yankee legend spurned Derek Jeter for Brian Cashman, we talk about what it means to have Andy Pettitte back in the clubhouse. Finally which Yankee is next in line for an extension.. (it’s not Aaron Judge) on this week’s Roll Call Podcast
