For the sake of the Yankees I hope Tex does do better but except for yearly declining numbers he has shown nothing to prove that. As long as he remains thick headed and tries to pull everything from the left side pitchers will continue to get him out and you will see the same results.
...I know that some people blame Long but I think it's up to Girardi to call Tex into his office and have a "come to Jesus meeting" and simply tell Tex to swallow his pride and be more of a team player when at bat.
Hopefully, as I have never liked his answers and attitude when it comes to adapting his ways. I'm sorry Tex you're not Reggie so cut the shit.
I totally agree with this but I don't see it happening. I do think this will be the 1st time in years that his average will actually improve. I mean there's really no where else to go but up/ I hope.
Agree, Girardi has to have the CTJ chat with Tex. But Jeter should also have gotten in his grill about team first. He led by example, no doubt....but any other means of enforcement didn't seem to work. I could could see a first inning benching by Buck or Joe Maddon for failure to hit aagainstvthe shift as instructed.
