Sloppy 2014



What word describes the 2014 team? It has to be SLOPPY.

We have committed a total of 71 errors as per ESPN. Little wonder we have jettison Yangervis Solarte and his 9 errors. Said, so long to Kelly Johnson and his 9 miscues. Alfonso Soriano was released while leading the outfield with 2 errors. Then the worse of the bunch was Brian Roberts and his team leading 10 errors. This group has accounted for 30 of the 71 errors committed to date by the Yankees. They are responsible for 42% of the total errors. Hmm no wonder they are no longer in pinstripes.

Tried to find out total TOOTBLANs but could not find any current data. They sure looked poor today, on the baspaths. We sure seem to stumbling all over ourselves on the bases. As a team we continue to have excessive base running errors. Everything from over running a base. Trying to stretch a single to a double or more. Looking silly trying to occupy a base that already has a Yankee base runner on it. Getting an out when not forced to run. Getting caught stealing a base. Just very poor base running by an veteran team, that knows better.

So yes SLOPPY is a good description of the 2014 Yankees. This team must get better quickly or they will be watching the post season at home.
