Dillon Lawson wasn't a scapegoat. He was an inexperienced fan boy. That's why he was fired. And now we know why. DJ LeMahieu is praising newest hitting coach Sean Casey for his recent surge. You never, ever heard that kind of stuff about Dillon Lawson. So while Lawson's somewhere flipping burgers, check this latest compliment out from DJ. The New York Post writes:
"LeMahieu has been a different hitter after the All-Star break.And in Friday’s 6-2 win over the Rays at Tropicana Field, LeMahieu provided a reminder of how dangerous he can be with his first multi-homer game in over two years.
He credited Casey with sparking the turnaround at the plate that’s resulted in three homers in his past three games after going deep just once over a 44-game span.
“I think Sean Casey has been a huge help for me,” LeMahieu said. “I relate to him really well. He has great, positive energy.”
It's a compliment to Casey and the organization for getting Sean, and a subliminal shot to the organization and a cry for help to the fans to signal that "Yeah, I can't talk out of turn, but you see what I'm telling you... Sean Casey IS HELPING. It was the right move!"
Of course, that's my own take on this, and hopefully for DJ, for more hitters on the Yankees it does help them down the stretch... if anything for confidence building going into the Fall, cause that's really all we got. A long cold, troubling winter is coming to New York. I am looking forward to the moves they soon will make.
Nice nugget Dan Martin.
