Embarrassing weekend from the Yankees. This is still a very flawed team.

It means nothing, lol. Should I remind you that the Yankees went like 0-8 to start against the Red Sox back in 2009 when they won the World Series? Everyone had essentially said the same thing about being a flawed team that year as well.

Also, it's not like the Yankees got blown out in any games this past series. All the games were essentially razor-thin and close. The Red Sox will go nowhere this season regardless (even more so now that they traded Devers).

This series is a microcosm of their long term problem. Still too many automatic outs in the lineup.
 
The discourse that signing Bregman cost the Red Sox makes my soul happy. They may have won the battle this weekend, but the Yankees will end up winning the war all said and done. Devers absolutely smokes the Yankees.

Good lord, fans like you OVERREACT to each game, each series, etc.

The lineup (up to now, overall this season) from top to bottom is one of the best we've had in years, and Stanton is coming back soon.

One series where the hitting wasn't there doesn't change that. And newsflash, the Yankees were never going to go 162-0, and they won't hit like crazy every single series either. There will be a series here and there where the hitting just isn't there; it just sucks that it was against Boston in Fenway Park, but it is what it is.

Now, if they start hitting the way they did in Fenway Park this past series consistently as the season goes on, then may you have a point, and it would be cause for concern. Until then, there's nothing to worry about at all.

Goldschmidt, Judge, DJ and Bellinger are the only regulars hitting over .250. Bellinger just barely and DJ in a very small sample size. This lineup will be shutdown by quality pitching in the playoffs unless improvements are made.

BA doesn't matter. The Yankees have the highest walk rate in the league and one of the highest XBH rates in the league.

You realize BA doesn't really mean a whole lot in this day and age, right? At least not in the way I'm assuming you're thinking of it. The average BA nowadays is like .240

And FWIW, the Yankees are top 3 in baseball in terms of BA.

It will when they get to the playoffs and they face pitchers who don't walk many people. They beat up on crappy pitching in the regular season like they do every year.
