Pinstripe Alley open thread - 9/6/20

We’ve reached the end of another week, and the Yankees are slogging through their schedule. They’ve stabilized after a seven-game losing streak, going 5-5 over their most recent 10 games, but they’ve still been highly frustrating to watch on a day-to-day basis. To liven up your day on the site, Cooper will take an interesting dive into Yankees hitting coach Marcus Thames and how he may have impact the lineup this year. Joe will take a spin around the team’s social media, and we’ll also run a poll about an interesting hypothetical that emerged in the comments section yesterday.

Fun Questions

1. Do you think there’s any chance the Yankees miss the playoffs this year?
2. Which slumping player do you see pulling out of it soon? Mike Tauchman? Mike Ford? Brett Gardner?
