STRATEGY IS SIMPLE, DON'T STRIKE OUT 30 TIMES

3 Yankee hitting coaches and we can't fix this problem. Pathetic.

We are in the Bronx tonight. Gerrit Cole is on the bump.  The stage is set for us to win. But here's the problem.  Our offense is in the crapper and we don't have explosive innings as we should. Can you blame Boone for that? Not really. I can blame Boone for plenty more, especially when it comes to being in the Yankee manager role and drowning because he has no idea what he's doing. But when it comes to offense, guys not only need to swing the bat, but hit the ball.

SB Nation writes:

"The offense has been a problem throughout the playoffs. Even while beating the Cleveland Guardians in the Division Series, they did so while hitting just .182/.273/.370. They haven’t topped six hits in a single game since the regular season, they struck out 17 times off Justin Verlander in ALCS Game 1, and they didn’t fare much better with Framber Valdez in Game 2 last night.

Of course, it’s easier said than done, but the Yankees won’t be in a position to win the series if they can’t put together good at-bats and if they keep wasting the few chances with runners in scoring position they have. To explain the Yanks’ offensive woes during the playoffs, it’s important to understand there isn’t just one factor: each hitter is going through something different."

Boone put Bader as lead off. That helps.  But guys like Judge, Rizzo, Stanton are our big boppers and they haven't been consistent. Donaldson seems engaged sometimes and lost in others. The Oswaldo boys are rookies, but that energy can actually help us. And seriously, the only way it does is if they get comfy with being in the playoffs.  If they are, they will perform. I believe that. Meanwhile Boone doesn't know if he wants to even put Peraza in tonight. He's an idiot.

Here's the thing; 30 strikeouts in 2 games means the approach at the plate has to change. They need to adjust in the box, and they need to be smart about what they are swinging at.

I mean, don't you find it weird that we have 3 hitting coaches on the Yankees roster and we have struck out 30 times in 2 games?

FIX IT YANKEES!
