BOONE'S ANSWER TO RIZZO'S HOME RUN STRUGGLE IS "BASEBALL, IT'S HARD"

The Yankees were able to win last night, but one guy who just isn't really contributing is Anthony Rizzo.  In short, we have a solid leader on this club in a massive home run slump.  We gotta fix this guy.  Well, hopefully a guy like Sean Casey can because Aaron Boone is no help.  

Boone says things to the media just as badly as Dillon Lawson says them, almost like they are cut from the same cloth of stupidity. That's my take of course.

The New York Post writes:

“Baseball, it’s hard, even for guys that are really good,” manager Aaron Boone said before the game Saturday."

Everyone in the room understands this Aaron. Making statements like this are ridiculous. How about tell the media what is going on behind the scenes to help Rizzo get over the hump?  More from the Post:

"...This season, Rizzo hit 11 home runs in his first 46 games, through May 20.

Eight days later, he collided with Fernando Tatis Jr. of the Padres on a pickoff at first base, which knocked him out for three games with a stiff neck....

“I feel like right when he came back from the neck, he had two weeks where he really struggled, where he wasn’t swinging very good,” Boone said. “I do feel like the last three weeks or so, he’s been better, where he’s getting his hits a little bit, he’s getting on base a little bit. "

So enough from this Boone guy. What can be done about it? Sean Casey can hopefully come to the rescue.  He's got to be able to see something in Rizzo's swing, his movement. We all know that Rizzo is a veteran and maybe he's just needing some more time, or maybe he just needs to sit with a guy like Casey to see what can be done.  Or, maybe it's something more serious. Maybe Rizzo is actually hurt and working through it. It's an interesting situation.

Whatever the case, Yankee fans love Rizzo. We need him back.  Yes, this is a home run drought, but he will be back soon. I have no doubt. Rizzo does the little things even though he hasn't gotten over the hump, but he will and I believe it will be Casey to help him.  

Have faith. and most of all, we need to have patience.
