We're a dumb, poor fundamentally sound team...I'm not shocked we don't execute in the high leverage situations
They have too many guys who have bad approaches at the plate. Volpe has no plan when he gets up there. Jazz goes for the fences every swing. Dominguez can’t develop properly since they’re prioritizing Grisham over him like they did with Verdugo last year. Wells can’t lay off stuff near his head or his ankles. They still don’t have a 3rd baseman either. Haven’t had one basically since A-Rod. Right now Judge and Goldschmidt are the only guys hitting over .250 on the year and with an OBP above .345 too. Those numbers are the benchmarks to look at. Still since 2021 we’ve seen just 2021 Stanton, 2024 Soto, and to this point 2025 Goldschmidt as the only players besides Judge to hit .270 or post a .350 OBP on the year. A big part of that is the organizational approach at the plate not caring about average or strikeouts.

No reason to watch them atm
They’ve gone to worse than 2021 or 2023 territory this past week. The heat this past season were more fun to watch and the most memorable thing about their year besides jimmy butler beefing with the front office and quitting on the team was Tracy Morgan throwing up on the court during a game.

They’re about to hit 3 games in a row worth of innings without a run scored. I’ve never seen any team’s offense turn this sorry like this. The 2022 squad from July onward besides Judge had a .223/.292/.360 triple slash and that would be an improvement over the past week.
