The New York Yankees finished an abysmal first month from the batter's box by ranking last in the majors in runs scored during April for the first time since 1984, per Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN Stats & Info).
With just 74 runs, the so-called Bronx Bombers finished with one fewer run than a struggling Atlanta Braves team that had a 5-18 record for the month.
To put this into perspective, the Braves notched just five home runs through the month of April and still managed to outscore New York (22 home ...
A week ago, there were serious stories in serious newspapers asking how long the Boston Red Sox should wait before making a managerial change.
By Tuesday, the Red Sox were half a game out of first place in the American League East.

Sports, although inherently competitive, are occasionally sprinkled with no-win scenarios.Trying to outrun the fastest outfield throw ever recorded in baseball is one of them.The Oakland Athletics' Danny Valencia probably could have never imagined that, following a Yonder Alonso fly to left field, he'd be pursued in his sprint from third base to home by a 105.5 mph ball.But reality became very clear when Yankees left fielder Aaron Hicks unloaded the blazing throw with pitching-caliber speed, and a likely winded Valencia was tagged out. Life comes at you fast. Real fast. [MLB, h/t Deadspin]Read more New ...

"We want to be the best middle infield we can be," Castro said, referring to his new partnership with shortstop Didi Gregorius. "We want to be the best middle infield in the major leagues."
Maybe they can be, maybe they can't. But the fact that Castro could even bring up the possibility in the first week of the 2016 season ...
It appears that all the New York Yankees offense needed to get going this season was a one-game warm-up. Also, somebody other than Dallas Keuchel on the mound for the opposition.
And now that these two demands have been met, we're seeing just what these Bronx Bombers are capable of.
After Keuchel, the reigning American League Cy Young winner, silenced them in their opener Tuesday, the Yankees' bats woke up in a big way in the final two games of their series against the Houston Astros. A 17-hit parade led to a 16-6 ...
