How the mighty have fallen, Yankees playing a team that has been to the two most recent World Series instead of being that team. Line is on the Yankees tonight, even with Nova pitching, why am I surprised.
I mean just look at this crap. Mark Teixeira .210 3 hrs 11 RBIs Chase Headley .163 0 hrs 2 RBIs and still looking for his first extra base hit Gregorius .227, Beltran .236, Gardner .239, Hicks .122, Ackley .103 How can you win like this? How can absolutely nobody in the lineup hit?
Funny you should supply those numbers Vic because.........May I present to you......."The pathetic lineup award". Tonight's starting lineup............ LF - Gardner (239) CF - Hicks (122) C - McCann (268) 1B - Teixeira (210) DH - Beltran (236) RF - Ackley (103) SS - Gregorius (227) 3B - Headley (163) 2B - Torreyes (310) Tell me again why its an automatic that Teixeira is batting cleanup all season so far?
...with the exception of Torreyes and McCann, it really a putrid looking line up...speaking of McCann, I have seen him try to go the other way vs the shift this year...at least he's trying.
I know there's a few injuries but this is 1989ish slop they're trotting out there. Shows how hideous this bench is.
...the players are what they are and yes, they are underperforming but management is even more to blame for constructing this "poorly constructed team".
Of the position player I still like McCann overall best, handles his staff well, starting to make adjustments. Headley at the rate he is going will soon replace Bobby Meecham as my least favorite Yankee.
