[Schenck (Judge’s personal hitting coach)] They’ve lost 13 out of 18 while he’s hitting like an MVP The Yankees offensive player development is terrible.

  1. So many players showed promise only to severely regress, while Judge is getting better and better with his own personal coach.

  2. I don’t know if this is true but Jomboy said that Teacherman used to be a bit of a shit poster/online troll and that’s why the Yankees don’t want anything to do with with him

  3. Player Development is what separates the Yankees from teams like the Dodgers, Braves, Orioles and Astros

    We rely on players to already be good when they get here, the truly elite teams can make them themselves

  7. I’m not expecting them to churn out stud players like Judge, but it’s pretty mind boggling we can’t even churn out decent bench or platoon bats at a somewhat consistent basis.

    We get so little help from the farm system

  8. Oof I don’t think he should say that but he’s not wrong

    Pitching isn’t dialed in really either

  11. I don’t think he’s wrong necessarily, but isn’t this guy known to be somewhat of a quack?

  12. Boone leaving in struggling pitchers way too long is worse than the silent Yankee bats. Both offense and pitching are in huge slumps. 🙁

  15. They have 2 1.000 OPS and higher players.

    The bar was to get 3-4 AVERAGE bats to surround them with so that the offense would be sick and cashman failed at that low bar, tremendously.

  18. This guy must be an amazing coach, how secure do you have to feel in your job that you publicly shit-talk your biggest client’s team lol

  19. Guess having the same people who suck at their job audit themselves during the off-season didn’t work.

  20. Schenck also worked with Kerry Carpenter and helped him retool his swing — Carpenter is now one of the best LHH in the game. Actually a perfect fit for the Yanks.

  22. The offensive troubles are part of it. Also the team’s ERA during this stretch is astronomical. The bats can only do so much when the pitching staff gives up football score numbers by walking (and hitting) batters at an insane clip and giving up homers left and right.

  23. My hate for the way this team is playing is only eclipsed by my love for the way Aaron Judge is playing 

  24. We have good players around Judge and Soto. They just all collectively stink right now.

    If 1.5 of those other guys were hitting we would never lose.

    I don’t really know who to blame when supposedly proven MLB hitters stop hitting like proven MLB hitters all of a sudden every season.

    Like this isn’t a gradual change in our philosophy or a decline in our approach or whatever, it’s literally 80% of our hitters jumping off a cliff with their bats strapped to their backs instead of parachutes.

    Idk who to blame, but it really does feel like every year we just have a month of unwatchable baseball.
