I Saw The Lineup For Yankees Vs. Mets Game & I Gave Up
Can someone share how the heck these lineups come to be? I was discouraged once I got the lineup alert to my phone. Jahmai Jones leading off, JD Davis batting cleanup what in the actual…? Yeah, I saw the lineup for the Yankees-Mets Series and I gave up.
“In the last month, the Yankees have too often been a top-heavy mess. Anthony Volpe and Alex Verdugo particularly cratered and the first and fourth spots in the order now feel like a reality show with anybody capable of landing in those slots. In the Subway Series opener Tuesday night, it was Jahmai Jones and J.D. Davis, who you might have forgotten were even on the roster,” reported The New York Post. I certainly forgot about them.
But everyone knows who is leading this team: Juan Soto and Aaron Judge. Even former Yankee Luis Severino jabbed at his former team by calling the Yankees “a two man team.” According to the Post, “The Yankees pretty much must find a righty complement for Verdugo (.196 batting average .556 OPS versus lefties) whether it is Jasson Dominguez or comes from the outside. This is just another area Gleyber Torres (.208 vs. lefties) and DJ LeMahieu (.118) were hurting the Yankees.”
The Yankees will need to be at the table for the trade deadline which is quickly approaching. The Series against Tampa was the best of times, worst of times kind of series. Sure they split but it was so lopsided. And it revealed so many glaring holes in the Yankees lineup. So as much as I hated the starting lineup in Tuesday’s bout against the Mets, I see the desperation, which is equally concerning.
“We dominated most of the first half, so I don’t think this is only about one or two players,” Soto said. “It takes every single guy in the lineup and our relievers in the bullpen and everything, so I think it’s not only a two-player team. I think it’s a really good team right now,” reported ESPN.
It is a weird part of the season we are experiencing right now. A time of uncertainty and a time for revisions. The Yankees are in the midst of both. If they can find a way to win in New York before they leave for Boston and then to a series against the best in baseball Phillies, they may have the fuel they need to withstand some tough games ahead. But hitters better hit, because the lineup on Tuesday looks like surrender to me.
