Not only is the Yankee losing streak at 4 games, but
to figure out what has been the biggest problem during
the streak, all you have to look at is ..
1 through 4 in the batting order.
Batting Average / Month of August
Ellsbury .179
Gardner .182
ARod .182
Teixeira .167
These 4 veterans need to turn things around
NOW if the Yankees are going to hold onto 1st place.
You can add in # 5 in the order for sure
Brian McCann .148 B.A. in August
but Catching tends to wear a hitter down during the dog days due to the
grueling nature of the position, so they are hard to count on offensively.
McCann is in the line-up, and is a gamer, but he is struggling with a
knee, due to foul tips and blocking a ton of balls in the dirt.
This is the problem with giving a veteran catcher a 5 year $17M per contract.
S O S :
The time is NOW for the veteran Yankee BAT$ to …
SAVE OUR SEASON
As always
GO NYY !!
