Spring Training Game maybe so, but the Yankees need to show up and produce to show that 2018 is a different year.
Yeah, with the exception of Sanchez and Romine, so far the majority of the production has come from youngsters who probably won't even make the team.

...hmmm, after 8 innings the Yanx have struck out 12 times in 26 ABs....but hey, they have at least managed 2 hits....nice.
Missed the game, out dancing with the squeeze, read the stats, pretty damn disgusting seeing the Yankees were playing pretty much an "A" Team. Wonder what old Booney figues he's going to do to curb the strikeout problem. Two runs prove insurmountable. damn shame.
it's obviously becoming a pattern, again- feed 'em film reels, hours, weeks worth of Babe and Lou; Joe Dimaggio, The Mick as well, Ruth Lifetime .342/ Lifetime OBP% .474 / led AL in BB's 11 X Gehrig .340 Avg, 11 yrs with >100 BB's. Lifetime OBP% .447 DiMaggio .325 Avg, never struck out more than 36X in a Seaon. Lifetime .398 OBP% Mick .428 Lifetime OBP% If that don't work, feed 'em hours on end of film: Carew, Gywnn, Donnie BB in his peak,... but then we don't want slap hitters only, but we do want hitters who know when to swing for the fences, or just put wood on the ball...
Yeah, like I've been saying, I don't mind our hitters looking for a pitch to drive early in the count but damnit, once it becomes a 3 strike count, they need to protect the plate and just try to make contact..
