Let’s get things straight: the Yankees offense is indefensible. They lost Friday’s game in Detroit — In Detroit! Started by Gerrit Cole! You can’t lose that! — 3-2 in 10 innings for many reasons, most of which had to do with the 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position, accentuated by the completely non-competitive at-bat Giancarlo Stanton put up in the ninth.
