This edition of the Pinstripe Pulse will cover the Yankees' previous 10 games, from August 13th through the 22nd (the minor leaguers were playing on the 23rd, so that day's statistics were included as well). The Yankees averaged 4.1 runs per game, down from the 5.7 runs per game they scored during the previous period, and they went 5-5 against the Rangers (3-1), Red Sox (2-1), and White Sox (0-3). They won a tough series against one of the best teams in baseball, but then they were swept by a division leader to end the stretch. It's unfortunate that the sweep happened, but the White Sox have been terrific all year. Alas.
| Player | Last Period | This Period | Thoughts | |
| Russell Martin, C |  |
 |
Fell to another sub-.200 week after a brief period of decency. | |
| Mark Teixeira, 1B |  |
|
Has had only one bad 10-game stretch in the second half. | |
| Robinson Cano, 2B | |
 |
.437 OPS is less than half of last period's OPS (.888). Ouch. | |
| Derek Jeter, SS |
|
 |
4 doubles and 4 homers led to 32 total bases. Amazing. | |
| Eric Chavez, 3B | |
|
Still playing well in A-Rod's absence: .353/.421/.529 in 19 PAs. | |
| Ichiro Suzuki, LF/RF | |
|
No walks, but a .714 SLG makes up for that. | |
| Curtis Granderson, CF |
|
|
It would be great if he got more hits than the occasional homer. | |
| Nick Swisher, RF/1B | |
|
Slugged .676 with 4 homers and 11 RBI. Swish is back. | |
| Raul Ibanez, "LF" |
|
|
No extra-base hits in the 10 games. | |
| Andruw Jones, LF/RF |
|
|
Horrid week aside from one long homer in the Texas series. | |
| Casey McGehee, 1B/3B | |
|
.154/.154/.154. So this is the not-so-good McGehee... | |
| Jayson Nix, INF | |
|
.190/.190/.190. So this is the not-so-good Nix... | |
| Chris Stewart, C | |
|
Back to normal for the hitless Stewart. | |
| Minors | ||||
| Player | Last Period | This Period | Thoughts | |
| Gary Sanchez, C |
|
|
Now hitting .290/.349/.488 with Tampa. | |
| Tyler Austin, RF | |
|
11 hits despite several rainouts. Stole 3 bases as well. | |
| Slade Heathcott, CF | |
|
Even with his injuries, having best MiLB season to date. | |
| Dante Bichette, Jr., 3B | |
|
Really just needs this year to end: .189/.268/.297 this period. |
Legend
|
|
Players hitting at "Ruthian" levels are honored with, of course, the Babe. |
|
|
Players slumping are dis-honored with punchless former backup catcher John Flaherty. |
 |
Injured players are indicated by the perpetually-hurt Nick Johnson, who unfortunately just hurt himself posing for this picture. |
