Yankees’ Paul Goldschmidt knows he’s ‘hurt our team’ since scorching start
Paul Goldschmidt had one of the three blows of the Yankees during the 7-0 Saturday defeat against the A, but that did not prevent him from sharing a self-discredited after the match.
“I haven’t played well in recent weeks, maybe even this month,” said the 15-year-old veteran. “It injured our team as I played it this month.”
Critics of Goldschmidt occurred after having broken a sequence of 0 for 20 with a simple 104.3 mi / h. However, the first basic player went 1 for 4 in the game, who presented an apathetic programming, giving him an average of .143 and an .447 OPS during his last 24 competitions.
This crisis included only four additional strokes, two circuits and four points produced, as well as seven balls on bullets and 22 stick withdrawals.
“I have the impression that its bats were closer or similar. Quite simply not finishing certain strikes or obtaining results,” said Aaron Boone, noting that Goldschmidt has just missed on flies. “So I don’t have the impression that it was so far away. There was a little swing and missing in it. But I don’t have the impression that it is far from the moment when it really drove. Hopefully, just a little slowdown, which is inevitable.”
The recent performance of Goldschmidt was a steep gap in his introduction to the Yankees, who saw him hit .343 with a .902 OPS during his first 56 games this season. This section included more slugs – Goldschmidt had 13 doubles, six circuits and 28 products produced – and he struck a clip for a clip so high that fans made comparisons with Luis Arraez and Tony Gwynn.
Goldschmidt could simply be, which was much worse against right -handers, falls back on earth after having benefited from an average of the stick of .389 on the balls in play during these first 56 games.
Now 37 years old, the former cardinal was withdrawn three years from winning a MVP prize but comes from the worst season of his career. Sunday, the average exit from Goldschmidt was down to 89.8 MPH, while its hard rupture rate was 41.3%. It would be in a career in a full season. It is shying from the balls less often than last year too.
Despite the difficulties of Goldschmidt, Boone does not believe that he does something different mechanically. Goldschmidt, on the other hand, said that he felt good and that he is working to see if there are adjustments that he could make while other strikers are fighting around him.
Disappointing wells too
Even if JC Esmarra returned from Paternity Conet on Sunday and Ben Rice had not caught Marcus Stroman since training in the spring, the Yankees gave the latter his second departure behind the marble in three games for their final against the A.
Boone said Esmarra entered New York late Saturday evening – his wife and newborn son are doing well – so the skipper did not want to precipitate the recipient in the programming. But the decision to start Rice was notable with Austin Wells reaching 0.150 with only an additional blow, a double, during its last 12 games.
Boone said on Saturday that Wells’s timing had been offset, preventing the net of his best swing net.
“I have the impression that it was a bit between the two,” said Boone. “In front of a lot of secondary [stuff] or changes. I will not become too wobbly and enter the weeds with you of what I see.
Wells has 11 circuits and 45 points produced in total this season, the latter ending second on the Yankees entering Sunday. However, he only struck .214 with a .699 ops. His WRC +was 91.
One hundred is considered an average of the league, which is not what the Yankees expected Wells this season after finishing third in the recruit of the year to vote last year.
Wells will have the chance to improve his figures on Monday, because the plan is for him to catch the opening of the Yankees in Toronto. Esmarra is expected to take the match on Tuesday. Rice, meanwhile, will continue to catch “periodically” and when it is “logical”, said Boone.
The recruit of a hunting (and in admiration) judge
The Yankees weekend series against the highest averages in Aaron’s baseball B, while Aaron judge entered on Sunday by hitting a better .354 MLB. The recruit of Sacramento Jacob Wilson finished second with an average of .340.
“Whenever you can be up there with one of the best in the game in any category, it’s certainly a cool feeling for me,” Wilson told The News. “Certainly a goal. But it’s a long season. You have to continue working. I have to continue having fun and trying to follow it as much as possible.”
Wilson said that it was too early to check the rankings daily watching a hitting title, but he regularly sees the judge’s highlights on Instagram. The clips generally have circuits, because the judge had 28 during the season before the A final.
Wilson is not entirely the knock, because he had only nine circuits.
He was amazed by the judge’s ability to excel as contact And Power striker, but also by his character. The two share the same agent, Page Odle, and Wilson appreciated the way the judge treated him some times when they have linked themselves over the years.
“He has always been the coolest guy for me, which is sort of the most impressive part,” said Wilson. “He’s not just the player, but how he is as a person.”
Quite funny, Wilson mentioned this before drawing the anger of Ian Hamilton on Saturday. The lifer of the Yankees became frustrated when the 23 -year -old was not lacked back to the match late in the match. Hamilton has certainly become a little “emotional” at the end of a bad round, and the judge approached a confused Wilson to disseminate unnecessary hostility.
