@BronxBomberBall They will tell you 1st place and 4 losses by only 1 run. Which if he (Cashman) had done just an adequate job could well be 4 wins instead. Pitiful offense, a guy who is scared of the cold and others that simply cannot swing a bat more than a toddler
@BRappy55 Well now we have Grichuk and his .000 BA, plus a back to reality Grisham and a guy with a huge ego in his free agency year that can’t do anything
It's wild to me that Brian Cashman thought last year's team was good enough to bring back with ZERO changes.
Just irresponsible.
This offense is SO underwhelming. Poor roster construction year after year.
#Yankees
With one out in the ninth and the tying-runs on base, Aaron Boone opted to stick with Randall Grichuk, who is hitless on the season, and save Trent Grisham to pinch hit for Jose Caballero one batter later
Grichuk struck out on four pitches
Jazz Chisholm JR. on early season struggles “It”s cold, it’s literally all it is… I’m not using it as an excuse. As soon as the weather heats up, I heat up, that’s what it is… it’s hard to function when you can’t even feel the bat.”
@JimmyRandazzo Think it’s rich to say 1-6 will be fine when really only 2-4 has been ok. Cant really be mad at Volpe when Cabby, McMahon, Wells and Jazz are as terrible as they have been
The Yankees are 8-4.
Recap:
Their starting pitching has been amazing.
Their bullpen is shaky.
Their 1-6 hitters will be perfectly fine.
The 7-9 hitters need to pick it up.
PS- Yankees Twitter will be extremely toxic once Anthony Volpe is back.
@TalkinYanks 14 innings with 1 hit against the A’s. Good grief that is so brutal.
Everyone in the locker room that bats needs a hard look at themselves and have to find solutions
@thats_bb_suzyn We just don’t have enough guys that can hit the ball right now. Boone is clearly trying to figure something out but really he doesn’t have much to work with while Gris, Jazz, Cabby, Wells cannot do anything.
@AlwaysClaret@BurnleyOfficial It’s not a bad design mate, but being brutally honest it’s abit basic, compared to past home lots over the last few years, with this design there’s not much going on, however as I said it’s still not a bad attempt mate🙏
The Yankees play by play announcer Michael Kay just said this guy could start at catcher on a lot of mlb teams…
SON HE CANT EVEN GET THE STARTING JOB OVEE AUSTIN WELLS😭😭😭
Being mad at Boone for starting McMahon at shortstop over Caballero (a move that makes plenty of sense and was prepared for) is a perfect example of why some fans will never be pleased with him. People just want something to complain about.
@snyyankees It may be 11 games in but the offense is what has cost games. The pitching has been good which gives us a chance. 4 hits today and 3 were the first 3 batters. Not good enough. Jazz, Escarra/Wells and McMahon need to buck up. They will end up in the DJ LeMahieu camp.
Aaron Boone was asked what he's seen from Ryan McMahon at the plate:
"Mac's a good major league hitter. It's 10 games in, okay? He's scuffling right now, but the reality is, the last three games, he's been on base four times too, with walks and hits and big at-bats.
We want him to improve even who he's been obviously in his career, and he's off to a slow start right now, but a number of our guys are, as well. He'll get it rolling and trust that he will, especially against some of these good right-handed matchups."
