Come October pitching and small ball are key, can't just depend on the HRs when you're facing ace pitchers and it's 50 degrees out. They've left like 100 guys on base this series so far.

How many runs have the Braves scored outside the long ball? This incessant whining has got to stop. The Braves have 11 hits and less runs than the Yankees. As I said earlier, this narrative that HR hitting teams can’t win in the playoffs is bullshit. It is much harder to string together hits in the playoffs than it is to hit HRs to score runs.
It freaking has nothing to do with hitting HRs!!!! Them hitting less HRs doesn’t guarantee more hits with RISP. And oh, btw, while everyone is focused on June, the Yankees were 2nd in the AL in hitting with RISP from April to May. So you tell me, is it because they hit too many HRs or they are just in a funk in that regard?

April THROUGH May, the Yankees were 2nd in the AL in hitting with RISP is what I meant to say. Were they not a HR hitting team then? Hitting HRs has nothing to do with hitting with RISP
I saw the posts above and the arguing. Not trying to fan the flames, but one stat I always look at is RISP. Look at last nights game and you see why they lost. Couldn’t get a clutch hit with RISP when they needed it. They would have destroyed the Braves last night w some clutch hitting. I love HRs and this has nothing to do with it. Would just like to see more singles when they are really needed. Of course they aren’t trying to strike out and the batting order is irrelevant as someone else said in a different post. I think Torres or Gardner in the 9 hole is great to turn around the lineup.
And NO I don’t know the league avg for RISP or any of that shit, I just care about the Yankees. This team is one of the best in my lifetime and built to last.
about HRs. This is the league now and we are the best at it, the horror. Other teams struggle “manufacturing” runs too, I can think of atleast 25 teams who’s fans complain about it.

Yanks won’t be going 162-0, it’s ok.
The ironic thing is, if you think about it, if the Yankees have so many RISP, how are they all getting on base? They obviously aren’t all hitting HRs, otherwise they wouldn’t be on base. But people somehow relate hitting HRs to failure to hit with RISP. So, they are able to get on base with regularity, in other ways than hitting HRs, but if they don’t get a hit with RISP, it’s because they hit too many HRs. I’m in awe of the thinking...
The short right field porch has had more effect on this series than any I can remember. As much as made in the media and opposing fans (hi Mets fans), I honestly don’t think the short porch has been that much of an issue. But this series it’s playing a huge factor

This is probably the dumbest thing people can think about baseball and it is so outdated. There is no such thing as "small ball". The Yankees get on base. The Yankees move runners over. The Yankees go the other way. The Yankee score lots of runs. RISP averages have nothing to do with home runs. The idea that a hitter doesn't get a base hit with a runner on second because he is trying for a home run is just idiotic and fan nonsense.
The Yankees hit home runs cause their hitters hit the crap out of the baseball and usually get the ball in the air which sabermetrics have shown you want to do as opposed to hitting it on the ground. Averages are way down around baseball thanks to the shift. If you aren't hitting home runs your offense is probably struggling.
RE: I’d be surprised if Cash doesn’t bring back in another BP arm Â
This.
He has absolutely nothing.
I think Boone has been really good overall, but he screwed up there.
Boone had a good idea, except he forgot to see he had two rookies starting off the Braves series, neither of whom tends to last long.
Boone is starting to make a pile of mistakes.

Yup, after losing on that Acuna HR last night, I don’t want to hear any complaining from Braves pitchers
We? Did I miss something? I thought you were a Met fan.

The rest is history.
Arc is now our brother. You don’t get to speak to him this way.
That said, this team is under some stress - catcher, first base, starting pitchers can't go more that 4 ...

Patience grasshopper.
Tanaka returns to the rotation next Monday. German will be fine- had a bad inning.
Sanchez will probably be back right after the All Star break in 2 weeks.
Bird just needs time. With this offense, they can afford to run him out there and eventually find his way.
I am actually more concerned about the bullpen getting rest than any other issue.

They have Kahnle at SWB. I think the pen is fine as is. A reliable innings eater SP is likely. I think it will be Happ.
