I know that everyone is hating on the Yankees pitching and yes, for good reason...but let's not just throw the pitchers under the bus. In my mind, it's the offense that's just as big a problem. I mean, let's be serious - this was an offense that people were talking about getting 1,000 runs from. Well, that's not gonna happen when you are batting .254/.325/.403 as a team. Do you know what Yankees starters hit collectively last year? .293/.369/.469/.838. What're they hitting so far this year? .255/.326/.402/.728. Yes, I know about the injuries and the slow starts and all that but come on, if you're gonna rip on the team, be accurate; both the pitching and the hitting has not performed to expectations this year.

That being said, and yes, I know it's way too early, but despite all of the many bad turns, the Yankees are still 3 games out of a playoff spot...so, there's still hope here. Don't step onto that ledge just yet.
