You know when people say, well, it can’t get much worse — it usually does? That’s the boat Yankees first baseman Greg Bird now finds himself in.
Bird’s offensive ineptitude this season is well documented. His 0-for-4 on Tuesday makes him 17 for his last 107 (.159 BA) — and hitless in his previous 21 at-bats.
Overall, the 25-year-old Bird is now slashing .196/.284/.384 on the season.
If he had 25 home runs and 60-plus RBIs, maybe he’d get a pass for the dismal batting line, but Bird only has 11 and 35, respectively.
