Well for a month. HRs are great, and they win games, but sometimes you need to string some hits together.

That’s right and I will continue to be negative until this overrated Yankee line up proves me wrong. Another game they can’t touch this garbage pitcher. They have now scored a total of 2 runs in the last 20 innings against this crap team and a total of 1 run since the second inning Thursday afternoon but hey they are the best team in baseball nobody can be concern about this awful offense

Fans like you are part of the reason why I stopped taking the game as seriously as I used to. You suck all the fun out of any and everything. You want this team to win 150 games and don’t understand what happens during a full season of games. Go ahead and ignore our record against the Astros, Mariners, Red Sox, Indiana and Angels and continue to focus on the Rays.

To be fair to Gray, they gave him nothing to work with either.
They needed a better start from Gray than what he gave them.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 6/23/2018 6:24 pm : link
He's really a barely, slightly, hair above average pitcher... at best. Barring a comeback, he's now 9-12 as a Yankees starter with a 4.40 ERA.

I can't watch Chasen Shreve anymore.
Absolutely horrendous at the plate today.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 6/23/2018 6:34 pm : link
I have no problem playing Bird, but he should never hit higher than 8th until he starts to show some signs of life/being an average ML hitter.

Definitely wasn't perfect, that's for damn sure. And he certainly contributed, as he usually does.
Not sweating these two games.  
Jim in Hoboken : 6/23/2018 7:11 pm : link
It is a concern though that they can’t string hits together and score without HR’s. It will be hard to hit playoff pitching.

Walker doesn’t need AB’s, if he plays it should be at the expense of Bird. Torres and Andujar don’t need to sit.

Praise what?? A team that was just shut out against the crappy rays who have now beaten us 3 games in a row. Praise Stanton whose batting .240 and strikes out 3 times a game. Praise bird and Sanchez who are batting under .200. Praise Didi whose been awful the lasts two months. Aside from Andujar Judge and Torres the offense has been dog shit. But everyone wants to bash the pitching. That’s not the problem

Losing games to bad teams count to buddy. 11 combined losses to Tampa Texas Baltimore Kansas City Miami and Detroit. What is Boston’s record against those teams??? That could determine who wins this division. Yankees beat good teams and struggle vs crap. Half the losses have come against bad teams

mitch300 : 6/23/2018 7:38 pm : link
Wasn’t happy with their approach at the plate early in the game. They knew their bullpen was used a lot yesterday and today’s pitcher had like 65 pitches thru 5 innings.
Losing games you mean  
UConn4523 : 6/23/2018 7:39 pm : link
you don’t get anything more than 1 game in the loss column after any loss so stop treating it as such. Losing to the Rays is no different than losing to the Astros, not sure if you know that but there it is just in case.

Home runs home runs home runs. You can tell me how they lead they league in runs all you want. They are a boom or bust team that won’t win in the playoffs with this offense just like last year. Couldn’t do squat in the 4 games in Houston why? Because they rely on Home runs to much.
Man, ODB is really committed to leaving no doubt.

the team isn’t even the same as it was last year. Torres and Andujar weren’t on the team. Judge was a rookie. Sanchez was a rookie. There’s still over half a season of baseball left and are on pace to win over 100 games.

So how can they win over 100 games if they aren’t good at hitting? Ohh because they hit homeruns? Do those not count? This notion that homeruns don’t happen in the playoffs is ridiculous. Go find another team to root for.

This is the first series the Yanks have lost since the Texas series, and how long ago was that? *LITERALLY* a full month ago, from 5/21-5/23. It's the Yanks first series loss in a full month. LOL, they will be okay. But it would be nice to get one tomorrow before we depart Tampa; that's for sure.

dune69 : 6/23/2018 8:57 pm : link
we can't expect perfection. This is a fun team and we will lose along the way.

I do wonder about traveling to Tampa. Many of these guys came up through the minors and Tampa and maybe they spend too much time in their favorite places. We always seem to struggle with this team while in Tampa. Suspicious.

By Mike Leake and the Mariners. The same Mariners that the Yankees just swept. Shutout in their home park, a clown park, where their offensive splits are absurdly skewed too.

They suck! Their offense is overrated! I wish they’d hit singles instead of home runs! If they hit more singles instead of those stupid HRs they wouldn’t be getting shit out by Mike Leake!

The only issue I really have with this team is Shreve  
Matt M. : 6/24/2018 7:48 am : link
Thwy could almost anyone in his spot.

Other than that, my question is how long do they stay commktted to Bird? And I don't mean just this year. He has the nicest swing on the team. Bjt his inability to remain healthy and his lack of consistency when healthy are valid points of concern at this point. A big part of this problem is Walker and Austin haven't been better.
While I agree the constant negativity from one particular  
Matt M. : 6/24/2018 7:57 am : link
postsr is annoying and somewhat misplaced cor the regular season, one thing he is saying is true. This offense, as it is playing out, regardless of how many runs they score in the regular season, is nkt set up to win in October. They are over-reliant on HRs and on 3 bats. Two of those bats are rookies, so we don't even know what to expect down the stretch and in thebpost season.

That said, I don't expect Didi, for example, to continue to suck. ZLSanchez, on the other hand, is hitting under .200 for too long of a stretch to think this isnxt just one of those years for him. But, on thebplus side, when he does get a hit it almost always seems to be a run driving XBH.
I think what Boone is doing  
UConn4523 : 6/24/2018 7:58 am : link
is he’s using our strong first half to allow extra time for players to work out of their funks. Players he’d otherwise stop using if we were say 5-7 games back. Atleast that’s how I see it and I could be dead wrong but it makes a lot of sense.

Bird need to continue to get at bats, as does Sanchez.
The last week Sanchez has had a lot  
UConn4523 : 6/24/2018 8:01 am : link
of bad luck. He’s been hitting rockets that happen to hit he 3B, SS or LF right in stride. I feel like his timing has been better as of late and just needs to keep at it.

Everyone said the same thing last year. And even though if you believed BBI that losing in the 7th game of the ALCS was an utter failure, it wasn’t. It was a tremendous accomplishment for a team that nobody expected to be there at the beginning of the season. All season we kept reading here that there was no way they could win in the playoffs because they hit too many HRs. They beat Minnesota. They beat a very, very good Cleveland team rather handily. And they took the eventual champs to a 7th game. Boston got their asses kicked by the same team and they were the team that many here seem to want to emulate. They didn’t hit HRs, they hit singles and doubles all year. How did that work out for them?

Yes, they did lose in 7 games to Houston, and that’s all that matters, but FWIW, they outhit Houston in that series in almost every category. Someone posted the numbers awhile back. They Yankees certainly didn’t hit great, but neither did Houston, and they are another team everyone here wants to emulate. And they hit worse against a weaker staff, since everyone is always drooling over Houston’s pitching, the Yankees hit their pitching better than Houston did ours. So again, this idea that this offense isn’t built for the playoffs is hysterical. And this years team is even better offensively. Even if they don’t show it every single night or they go through dry spells. Just relax and enjoy the journey.
One thing I would like to see from Bird  
Bill2 : 6/24/2018 9:53 am : link
Hit to the opposite field.

He is such a pull hitter he is very easily defeated by the shift to his side.

Id like Judge to slowly over the years level off the uppercut and hit opposite field. I think the shorter path to the ball and his strength will produce a steady 300/425obp/1.050+ player. Even if it means 35-40 home runs. If you have Stanton and Sanchez behind you that's the most valuable contribution from the 2nd slot.

After watching Sonny Grey id get a left bullpen pitcher and one more starter.

We need to remember that if they keep it close they can give German and Loiasiga and Shefield experience. They can manage CC and Severinos innings. They can get rest and sharpen the pen

They can go into this years playoffs in peak tune
