If a three-hour rain delay in the Bronx on Sunday didn’t get you hot and bothered than this surely will.
The New York Yankees left a total of 28 men on base in Sunday’s 7-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.
Twenty-eight. You heard that correctly. In an inconsistent showing by the offense, the Yanks lost their opening series to a team they struggled against last season.
Aside from their 13-9 record in the last two season against the O’s, they’re not the reoccurring problem, present in the first three games of 2019. It’s runners stranded on base while others are left by a thread in scoring position.
