[...] Just another one of those games where the Yankees were trailing at the start of the 5th inning and they went on to lose the contest. [...]

To point out the obvious 3rd and 5th innings=2nd and 3rd times through the order usually. Maybe its on the catchers for not mixing it up?

As much as the starting pitching has been awful, the offense has been more than putrid. Today’s game is another classic of not having the ability to drive runs in with men on base.

They had that ability last year – even with the slow start. The bullpen has been much better at keeping the game manageable, but you need to score runs to win the game.

The offense is a culprit as well. Scoring runs early would enable the starters, particularly the young ones, to pitch with a comfort level.

And once again, further proof that what the Yankees need is reliable, effective starters rather than “8th inning” guys…
