can we please just get a freaking hit?

Nope, too much to ask apparently. This team's approach this year has led to more HRs, but less BBs, which means when they have a good pitcher on his game, they don't adjust and try and work counts, they go up there hacking away. 

Not a fan of these new hitting coaches honestly. It's just such a drastic change from the way these guys were taught coming up. We were supposed to have a lineup full of guys who work counts and attack pitches they can do damage on. Instead we have a bunch of Ryan Mountcastle's.

They haven’t even come close to getting a hit. One batted ball with an xBA over .120. And it had an xBA of .140 (Gunnar’s groundout). 

He's got his good stuff and command going for sure, but this offense is not helping any with their hackothan ways.

we'll be three back after tonight...the Yankees are on a run...

We were 3.5 back last year on this date and that worked out. It's only May 20th. I'm not too concerned about the standings.

The Yankees are on a run for sure, but they will cool down. They are no where near as good as their record. They've been beating up on everyone not the AL East.
