Major Yankees

The Mighty Bombers take a Shot to the Chin

 Coming off a 14 hit attack against the Rangers, on Friday, the Yankees were looking to build momentum and keep sole position of second place. The Nationals had other things in mind. The Nats needed a win to force a three way tie for second place, and they came ready to play. When the smoke cleared, the boys in red walked away with a 10-0 victory, leaving The Mighty Bombers licking their wounds. The Yanks only managed 3 singles and struck out 12 times. Hayden (The Hammer) Mitchell, Chase (The Mighty) Meniatis, and Adrei (The Big Cat) Buado had the lone hits for the Yankees. Starter Anthony (The Big Easy) Lozano pitched well in his 2 and 2/3 innings; striking out 5. Base running and outfield coach; J.B. True put in all in perspective saying, “we had no energy tonight, we were just flat”. “If the Yankees are looking to stay in contention they`re going to have to perform much better and be more consistent,” says manager; Craig Mitchell. Will the Mighty Bombers be able to rebound from this embarrassing defeat? or will the Yankees sink into oblivion? Stay Tuned!

With the loss the Bombers fall to 3-2, clinging to a second place tie with the Nationals and Reds.

Miscues and Walks Lead to Yankee Demise in Second Game

 The Yankees took to the field tonight looking to start the season with two straight wins, however it wasn`t long before the Mighty Bombers were in deep trouble. Yankee pitchers surrendered 8 walks and the usually reliable defense fell apart committing 9 errors. Harold Reynolds from the MLB Network said it the best,”It was like the Yankees were playing in quicksand”, they would try and dig themselves out only to find that they were deeper in the hole.  Despite playing one of their worst games in recent memory, the Yankees never gave up, hoping that things would change and they could get back in the game. Unfortunately that never happened and the Yanks fell 15-8. Tristan (Brave Heart) George led the Yankee hitting attack with his first homerun of the season; a screaming line drive over the left field fence. Other Bombers with hits were: Anthony (The Big Easy) Lazano; 2-3, Jordan (Panda) Susbilla; 2b, Hayden (The Hammer) Mitchell; 1-2. On the defensive side of the ball, catcher; Andrei (The Big Cat Buado) made a great catch in foul territory and Anthony (The Big Easy) Lazano made two over the shoulder catches robbing base hits on both accounts. Parker (The Real Deal) True, Spencer (The Road Runner) Floyd, (Joltin`) Jacob Rosin, Jake (The Snake) Peralta and Scotty (Happy) Gilmore all played well in the outfield. Chase (The Mighty) Meniatis, Jordan (Panda) Susbilla, Hayden (The Hammer) Mitchell and Anthony (The Big Easy) Lazano pitched well in relief of Yankee starter Andrei (The Big Cat) Buado.
