The second critical flaw of this team is their inability to hit with Runners in Scoring Position. AFP PHOTO/Dan Levine (Photo credit should read DAN LEVINE/AFP via Getty Images) SEATTLE, UNITED STATES: New York Yankee Derek Jeter is greeted by third base coach Willie Randolph after Jeter’s fifth-inning home run against the Seattle Mariners in Seattle, WA, 01 August. Is it really so hard to find a third base coach with a good feel for the game? We’ve had excellent third base coaches in the past like Willie Randolph and Larry Bowa, why is it so hard to find another top notch third base coach? Cashman, I’m asking you this question directly. Discarded former Mets do not belong on the Yankees. I don’t trust discarded former Mets, players or managers. I didn’t want Donaldson on this team and I don’t want a failed Mets manager coaching third base. Not knowing who to blame, I choose to blame both. Maybe Luis Rojas, the new third base coach and former manager of the Mets sent Donaldson. Maybe Josh Donaldson acted alone and made the decision by himself. To anyone watching, it was clear Donaldson was never going to make home safely, scoring a run. Instead of holding at third with only one out, Donaldson stopped, losing all of his momentum, then tried to make a dash for home plate. Donaldson went from first base to third base on a double by Anthony Rizzo. In the second game of the Toronto Blue Jays series, we saw Josh Donaldson get thrown out at home plate in the first inning. Based on what we saw in game 5 of the season, Luis Rojas doesn’t seem like he’ll be doing a much better job. We saw Phil Nevin get fired last season for his atrocious ability to assess whether a runner could cross home plate safely or get thrown out by at least four steps. The first critical flaw of the 2022 team that needs to be addressed is baserunning. Which really poses the question, does Brian Cashman hate Yankees fans? Mandatory Credit: William Perlman/THE STAR-LEDGER via USA TODAY Sports Do you know why? Because this 2022 New York Yankees lineup is just as flawed as it was last year. Welcome to the New York Yankees 2022 season folks! If you’ve missed the first 5 games of the season, just re-watch the last 5 games of the 2021 season, you won’t be able to tell the difference.
