Checking The Roots
I was just using the Complete Baseball Encyclopedia to see the RSAA and RCAA totals for A.L. teams to date:
Sort of amazing that the Yankees are only 6-6 so far this year, huh?
So, what happened?
Blown games, my friends, blown games. With a little better defense and effort from the bullpen, the Yankees could easily be 9-3 right now - and that would have them in 1st in the A.L. East, by a half-game, with the best winning percentage in the league.
The really sad part may be this: Can we expect the defense and pen to get better? It's possible on the latter - but the former could be an issue all season long.
