The Yanks went 3 for 30 today, so yeah, they won't be leaving too many runners on base with those kind of numbers.
The 3,4,5 hitters in today's lineup are now hitting .160/.176/.196. Really, I haven't seen anything this bad.

Francesa is an idiot but he's right here:
The young should be stars and futures of the team: Gleyber Torres: .196/.317/.235, 0 HR, 1 RBI Clint Frazier: .167/.250/.222, 0 HR, 0 RBI |

No triples also shows lack of speed on the team.

Serious question. If the Rays are our daddies now, does that make the Rays Pedro's grandpas?

lol, a kindler, gentler Kay. Even Francesa knows that Hicks isn't a #3 hitter.

I lost any respect remaining for Francesa, when he said that the Astros stealing signs and knowing what pitch was coming didn’t make any difference, that knowing what the pitch is doesn’t help the hitter. Makes you wonder why teams would even have signs? Or, why even throw different pitches? |

Based on what I'm reading just a bunch of BS and platitudes. No new news. Nothing to see here. |

Perhaps not the right thread but here is my solution for fixing the Yankees(at least a little bit). Move Hicks to 6th in the lineup. If his hitting doesn't improve sit him beside Boone and start Gardner or Tauchmann. I realize Gardner doesn't have much of an arm and Tauchmann is not exactly raking at the plate but Hicks defense is costing the Yankees and the way we are hitting we can't afford to give up runs. Bring up Ford and move DJ to second. Think Odor for his service and if possible trade him for a bag of balls. Put Garcia in the rotation. I like Wade but if he is not able to help this team the way things are going don't we have somebody on the farm that could be the utility guy? We can't "blow up" the team, but a few small moves might help.

We can't "blow up" the team, but a few small moves might help. Really, it’s still so early in the season. Hicks is off to a very unfortunate start, and yes, he did had a couple of uncharacteristic fumbles in the field yesterday. Tauchman has only had 7 at bats in which to demonstrate his raking ability, and Wade only 3. It’s hard to figure what they might offer. I wouldn’t mind seeing Tauchman get a bit of time either, but does he play for Hicks or Frazier? Frazier hasn’t looked so good either. I think they’re going to give Odor a bit more time, though I don’t see him as the solution at 2B, either. We’d love to see 2019 Ford at first base right now, but 2020 Ford wouldn’t help. I think the only solution right now is to be patient. That’s not easy at this point, but this week should be a time to start seeing some bats come alive... Another turn through the rotation may show improvement as well... |
