Much like how everyone knows The Avengers is a great movie, Monopoly money isn’t accepted at McDonald’s, and rock beats scissors, everyone knows the New York Yankees have some issues with runners in scoring position.
The Yankees are fighting to stay out of the cellar in the AL East. Luckily for them, no one’s run away with the division as of yet. Not helping their case is their inability to score runs, especially with runners in scoring positions.
There’s nothing more frustrating for a team than leaving runners on base, especially if the bases are loaded.
Now last night’s game may have woken up the team, but it still doesn’t solve their RISP problems. Those homers were either solo shots or with one guy on. The Yankees have relied on the homer too much for too long. They need to find other ways to score if they ever enter a power drought like they’ve been in.
The Yankees’ troubles are well documented to the point that it’s trending on Twitter. If your team is on Twitter for a bad reason, it might be time for a change.
Now because of the contracts and names involved, the Yankees can’t just send people down and call people up like they did with Robinson Cano when he came up. The guys on the team don’t have options which means the Yankees are probably stuck with them for now.
Instead, here are some ways to make some changes with the guys they have now.
