The Yankees Are Hoping Bad Baserunning Wins Championships Too

As wise man once said the Yankees “run the bases like drunks.” That’s one way to compare them to the 2004 Red Sox.

Over the last few years, the New York Yankees have struggled with base-running, being ranked as one of the worst teams in baseball in terms of baserunning metrics, with players often making costly mistakes and missing opportunities to score.

Here's a more detailed look at the Yankees' baserunning issues:

• Poor Metrics:
  The Yankees have consistently performed poorly in baserunning metrics, such as Fangraphs's BsR (Base Running) and Statcast's baserunning metrics, which aggregate stolen bases, caught stealings, runners thrown out, and other baserunning plays.
  
  
• Costly Mistakes:
  The Yankees have been known to make costly baserunning mistakes, such as runners getting thrown out on the base paths or failing to advance on key pitches.
  
  
• Aaron Boone's Role:
  Some analysts have pointed to manager Aaron Boone's coaching and strategy as contributing factors to the Yankees' baserunning struggles, with some suggesting the team hasn't emphasized baserunning fundamentals enough.

Yup, it's one thing to have one or two bad baserunners, but when you have a team that consistently runs the bases poorly that is on the manager and coaches and the coaches are ultimately the manager's responsibility.

Don't know what the solution is, do you?

Unfortunately my prediction is coming through so far. Lineup struggling. As soon as they missed the 1st inning opportunity, you knew they were cooked. Need to get one tomorrow.

game twelve. another base running boo boo. this time by the captain. knight sticking another needle into his boonie voodoo doll.

rice a runnie with a two run ballantine blast. 2 zip.

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

They can't score for their lives vs. Detroit.
Fried pitching damn good, give him help ffs.

Judge pulls a real boner throwing home for meaningless run letting tying run go to second with 2 outs. WTF was he thinking?

 

[bamafan]

Judge gets bailed out as Yanks prevail 4-3 despite giving up 3 runs in ninth and leaving tying run on second

 

[section10]

who woulda thunk it. leiter gets the save.

so the rotation is - fried, schmidt/weaver, pr(e)y for snow, fried, schmidt/weaver, pr(e)y for snow. book the canyon of heroes now.

Geez, Williams is scary bad right now. Needed thuos win. Tigers pitched them well this series. Another tough matchip upcoming with the hot Giants coming in.

 

[ChiTown Red]

We can only hope that Williams' issues are due to the colder weather and not being able to get a good feel on the baseball for his changeup. If it isn't, then the bullpen becomes a big problem. Fried was awesome yesterday, Rice and Goldschmidt continue to rake, and the Tigers defense in the 9th inning was unbelievably bad. Hoping for some home cooking this weekend against the Giants.

Williams should pitch in some earlier innings until he is ready to be our closer. Weaver can fill that role until Williams is ready.

Yankees’ Devin Williams feels he’s ‘getting closer’ after latest debacle versus Tigers

The Yankees closer has not had the smoothest of landings with his new team four outings into the season, including Wednesday.

Don't disagree, but Williams spent his Springs in cold weather Milwaukee, so he shoukd not have that excuse. My only concern about Goldschmidt is that he isn't driving in any runs. But I agree, this weather has been brutal.

Milwaukee has a retractable roof. He pitched indoors during the early parts of the season.

Not that it's the only reason, but Rojas is a terrible third base coach.

Too often, he's holding guys, when I think they would score easily. Even with 2 outs.

The Yankees seem to specialize in bad third base coaches. Phil Nevin was no better!

Oops, did not know that.
