Joe Girardi and Paul O'Neill have both said quite a few things about the lack of hitting that were very informative.
Goldschmidt is in a slump as well. lol
I made a mistake in my previous post. The Yankees had 17 Ks for the 2nd game in a row. The first team in the history of MLB to have 17 Ks two games in a row. Let that soak in. In history!
When an entire team is in a massive slump you have to wonder what in the hell is the hitting coach doing? They show him in the dugout and I never see him talking to the players.

I saw the lineup on social media yesterday afternoon and was like....what in the actual ****. I get that with a lefty starting they wanted to get all the right handed batters in they could but good lord that was a split squad early spring training lineup.
I also wonder if the hitting coach has screwed all their swings up. Goldschmidt struck out 4 times and is in the worst slump of his career, as is Bellinger who is 7 for his last 72 and only 1 RBI in over a month. Joe Girardi said last night he had never seen an entire team all struggle at the plate at the same time. Ive got 20 years on Joe and I've never seen it either.
Goldy's first or second at bat he looked utterly lost and completely befuddled. Now, father time has certainly slowed him down a bit but you are talking about a guy that has been a pro's pro hitter for a long time. And he looked like he was blind at the plate.
It was honestly painful to watch.
Did you see Cabellero just drop the bat when he was batting? He does some strange things. He also struck out 4 times.
That safety squeeze the Yankees just did was idiotic as hell. As soon as the ball was bunted right back to the pitcher The Martian should not have gone home. And to slide head first into the catcher blocking the plate is so stupid. The way The Martian's arm bent back he's lucky he didn't break it. He was flexing it on the way back to the dugout. Slide feet first into the catcher and drive them into his chest and he'll think twice about blocking the plate and might drop the ball. Joe Girardi has really criticized the Yankees for sliding head first so much and I agree with him.
