Yankees' Pitching Shines, But Can They Hit for Success?

Alright, Max Fried, back from the injured list, looked really good. Good news for the Yankees, but really it's not about their pitching. Their pitching is really good. They have Garrett Cole, they have Fried, they have Schlittler, Rodon when he's healthy. They have plenty of this. I mean, maybe it's a crazy thought that the Yankees should trade some pitching and get another hitter. I just, I hate to say it, Tom, because I know there are a lot of Yankees fans that are watching, but you know, they got really, really hot two years ago at the end of the season and Stanton was amazing in the postseason. That's the only reason that they got to the World Series. But this blueprint that they have for this year, just heavily reliant on counting on that three-run home run and the two guys that are in the lineup are not there, so I don't know how they do it. Yes, they're going to pitch great, yes, they're going to make the postseason, yes, they're probably going to get through the first round, but as good as Max Fried is and as good as all these other pitchers are, eventually you're going to have to score runs to win. Yeah, despite having one of the higher scoring offenses in the league, it certainly doesn't feel like it. It doesn't feel like a consistent threatening offense that are going to give you four to five every game. It's like, they can get four to five, but that comes on maybe only three or four hits, which obviously isn't a recipe for success because once those fly balls start not going as further in cooler weather, once we get to the postseason, that's going to be an issue. It's great to only give up two runs a game, which I think any team would take, but you do need some level of consistency. Fried is great to see him back, obviously having a combo, not just a one-two combo at the top of the lineup or the top of rotation, but a three-man rotation for any postseason series is fantastic, but that's never been their issue. It's always been the hitting.
