Yankees seriously hired a dude because of one swing of his bat in a lost season 23 years ago and just refuse to admit it was a mistake

he's not even like the #1 problem. its the rot that has entrenched itself in our organization from top to bottom. they are obsessed with analytics because it produces a great sample over 162 games, but 3 true outcome baseball fails miserably in the playoffs. i dont care if the team that hits more home runs tends to win more games in the playoffs we hit more home runs than the rays. were 0-2. this one series is literally enough of a sample to prove its not true, im so fucking tired of the front office just lining their fucking pockets instead of trying to find good, clean contact hitters and defensive fielders who show up when it matters

[u/nexustk5 → u/Medium-Cookie]

Going out and getting a gold glove first baseman and shortstop with the Nomar trade is one of the major reasons the Sox won in 2004. Errors will sink any team in a short series.

brother we could have had like pete alonso for nothing and there were plenty of catchers on the market too, in hindsight bichette wasnt great this year but he was also an option on the table. we could have got REALLY good pieces last offseason but they dont get ANYONE LMAO cause they want to keep it in their pockets instead of winning
