Gets ahead 2-0...then starts swinging out of his shoes trying to hit the ball out of the stadium. The 2-0 pitch was pretty much in the dirt too.

Re: 2012 Offense Performance Thread
Is it possible that the Yankees will hit below .100 with the bases loaded this year? madness

Re: 2012 Offense Performance Thread
Observation I made when looking at the team's BR page: Everyone in the starting line up has an OPS+ over 100.

Re: 2012 Offense Performance Thread
Concerns are noted for good reason, but there are 104 games left and one of catalyst for scoring runs in additional ways has been missing in action for just about the whole season to this point. A lot of baseball to be played yet as it will be interesting to see if the current thrends stay that way for the rest of this baseball season and whether any additional roster changes will affect those trends.
God, I love Yankee fans as they're never satisfied!

Re: 2012 Offense Performance Thread
I just don't see it. I went back and looked at some of those games. Some of them were against very good pitchers, some of them featured lineups with healthy doses of Nunez, Stewart, Nix, Wise, etc. those things tend to suppress runs by all means, including the HR. Some games were against scrubs, and the O just sucked. It happens.
I'm concerned about the RISP suckage, but not the winless-without-HR stat.

Re: 2012 Offense Performance Thread
It's the most ridiculous stat ever. W/L for a pitcher mean more.

Re: 2012 Offense Performance Thread
Here are the teams in the AL that have scored more runs than the Yankees for comparison.
Yankees: 0W/12L
Texas: 4W/11L... allowed 7 runs in 4 W's
Boston: 4W/16L... allowed 7 runs in 4 W's
Toronto: 6W/9L... allowed 15 runs in 6 W's
Chicago: 4W/11L... allowed 12 runs in 4 W's
Here is Tampa, since they are a half game up on the Yankees and probably the team that comes to mind for folks banging on the "0fer without a HR" stat.
Tampa: 9W/11L... allowed 19 runs in 9 W's
Some things stand out to me. First, the Yankees have a HR in more games than any of those teams. Second, seldom did those W's for any of those teams come from stringing tons of hits/productive outs and subsequently runs together; generally the offense was suppressed but the defense more than compensated for it. Third, in spite of a 9W margin between the Yankees and the Rays in this "stat" with about a third of the season in the books, they are only .5 games apart.
Would I have like to have seen the Yankees scratch out 3 runs to win the 2-0 game against Darvish in April? Yes. Or the 3-0 game against Hellickson? Of course. But it's not like these 11 games were all 1-0 losses because the team didn't hit a ground ball or two to advance a runner here or there. Most of these games were on the defense.

Nice to see some late comebacks recently. Always a bonus when you can do that."Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."

Re: 2012 Offense Performance Thread
Should a HR count as a hit with RISP? The batter was just trying to show off with a home run swing not really trying to drive in those runs.
