 when it comes down to offense you've got to score more than one run and that's from the theater of the obvious last year the winning percentage of a team that scored one run is so low that a team would go 11 and 151 on the season not a lot of winning when you score one. That'd be a tough year no doubt about it this is not what the Yankees came out of spring training you know envisioning this for home series but things have changed a lot of people are out of the lineup the Yankees are gonna have to make some decisions no doubt about it is Tyler Wade Fraser you're going to roll the dice and hope that they turn it around they do have good pitching right now so you base things on that and hope the offense turns around now when you talk about this team this team is built to hit home runs that's how they win games last year 267 that's the major league record and it seems like with all the bats that are out of the lineup and on the IL the approach is the same 18 strikeouts today but the homers aren't coming yeah that's the story I mean there's no two ways about it when you strike out 18 times and there's 27 outs that's gonna be the dominating theory the narrative going on so it needs to be addressed the offense was the last thing you worried about we were talking about how deep this lineup was on opening day the seven through nine hole hitters and boy it just hasn't played out injuries are part of it but that's not enough of an excuse certainly approaches part of it you know the shadows I mean there's all sorts of excuses the bottom line is you struck out 18 times in a 980 game and it's the all-time record and one thing one thing think about this you can't use it as an excuse if you're the Yankees but it's an excuse you can't lose all that firepower and be the same team Paul well there's no doubt about it you're trying to fill holes and gaps and all the sudden you see the whole approach I said during the game it looks like it's changed guys are trying to pull the ball trying to hit home runs and when you try to do it it becomes that much harder now do you think there's pressure on them going into Baltimore they've got to want to serious yeah definitely I mean you got to win one game you certainly want to stop the bleeding you don't want too much of a hole but if you remember last year Yankees started out 9 and 9 about 500 and the Red Sox got off to a 17 and two start and there was panic and what's wrong with the Yankees and yeah I mean it's it's early the problem is that you really looked at this part of the schedule is something to take advantage of against some of these teams well some of these teams aren't cooperating right now and that's baseball where's where's my John Sterling voice you know that that's baseball Susan I'll tell you what the Yankees now hit the road and they will be there for the home opener for the Orioles tomorrow then on to Houston as well so six big games Bob and we'll be in Baltimore tomorrow
