It might be time for the Yankees to get out of their comfort zone. In the Subway Series, the Yankees held their own against the Mets, who came to the Bronx with baseball's second-best record.
They are a great ball club over there. The Yankees are trying to have good at-bats, according to Judge. This could be a team we can see down the road.
After the Yankees took both games against the Mets in the Bronx this week, evening the season series at 2-2, here are some things the team can use to get back on track.
It's difficult to call a slump when a player is hitting as well as Judge is. In the nine games leading up to the Subway Series, Judge was hitting.133 with 13 strikeouts, which was one of the worst stretches of his season.
Two homers in a game can make a difference. Judge hit a line drive to left against Taijuan Walker and a 404-foot opposite fielder against Max Scherzer. Judge was surprised by the talk of a slump.
Judge said that he was not aware of the home run drought. I'm not worried about that. I'm happy to make a move.
Judge hit a pitch that was not a meatballs. Judge did a good job of driving the opposite way when he saw the outside part of the plate. After the game, the Mets ace acknowledged it.
If I kept the ball down on Judge, I could keep him in the park. He made a better swing on it.
The Yankees' offense goes where the judge goes. Judge's struggles at the plate made things worse for the rest of the lineup. Heading into Tuesday night, the Yankees were hitting.218/.289/.358 in August, after hitting.245/.333/.444 in the first half of the season. If Judge finds his power stroke again after a brief dry spell it will be a sign of good things to come.
After a strong start to the season with the Kansas City Royals, Andrew Benintendi was one of the biggest additions to the team at the trade deadline. He hit.192/.302/.301 in his first 22 games.
Benintendi said that he wouldn't use that as a reason for why he wasn't doing what he wanted to. It was unfortunate that it happened as I arrived. You keep working and praying that it will turn around. Continue working with the guys.
The newly-minted Yankees outfielder has begun to turn things around, hitting.320/.414/.640 with a home run, triple, and three doubles in 29 plate appearances from August 16 to August 22. Benintendi went 2-for-3 with a double in the first game and 2-for-4 in the second game.
The manager didn't have any concern that Benintendi would eventually join the Yankees.
"Benny is one of those guys, because he is so low-key and such a good hitter, that you don't worry about over the long haul, coming into a new environment, getting settled, all those things that factor into your life, and that's why he He's starting to settle and we're starting to see him be the hitter that we know he is.
The team needs Montas to perform for them to be a threat to win the World Series.
After dealing with a death in his family and an injury, he struggled out of the gate. It made the contrast even more stark. Montgomery has allowed just one run in his four starts with theCardinals.
The son of a RedSox player is playing for a baseball team. There is a person named Joon Lee.
Cashman had to address the trade for Montas a few weeks after the swap with the Oakland A's.
Cashman said that they were unaware of him being out of pocket. "So you add in being out for 10 to 12 days before his next start on top of him building back from being down for a period of time and now transitioning to another club, he just hasn't gotten out of the gate as well."
But Montas turned in his first strong start of his Yankees tenure on Tuesday against the Mets, allowing two runs while striking out six and walking one and giving New York a taste of what made him among the most sought-after pitchers at the trade deadline.
Montas said that he felt better. I wanted to go out there and compete. I'm trying to keep it going and do my best.
The Yankees put together a clean two-game set and had better-bats than the group had through most of the month. Montas was able to get out of tough jams because of the team's double plays.
We were having a hard time scoring runs for a period of time. There were a lot of good things the last couple of days defensively, on the bases, different guys stepping up whether it be in the rotation or the pen. Guys have clutch at-bats and clutch hits.
The team's three-game winning streak was noticed by Judge.
The most important thing is that we learned from it, Judge said. What not to do was learned by us. Teams are going to come after you because we don't do the little things, we don't make the little plays, and you don't prepare the right way. You learn from the mistakes you make, learn from the series, and go back to playing.
While Aroldis Chapman can't be relied on for high-leverage saves at the moment, the rest of the team has potential.
There are seven teams that could challenge the Yankees.
There is a man namedBuster Olney.
The Yankees got contributions from a number of players during the two-game series against the Mets. In the second game of the series, the pitcher gave up three hits, three walks, no strikeouts and no runs.
As we look forward to getting more guys back in the mix, we're looking to find some defined roles in our relief corps.
In his short time with the Yankees, Cabrera has been called up for his ability to play many positions, including second base, third base, and right field. New energy has been brought to the club house by him.
The necklace Cabrera sports has pearls and charms and is an example of that spark of youth. The necklace was handmade by Ramos, who was a third-round pick of the Mets.
The Yankees fan who made a hot dog into a straw during the first Subway game was fearless.
Life sentence. No parole.
