Who led the league in Sac Flies? Asking for a friend.
Sac flies aren't exactly small ball. They're missed homeruns. The team with more homers than any other team hit fly balls more than any other team. I'm f***ing flabbergasted.
The Yankees were 16th in BA, 25th in stolen bases, 12th in avg with RISP, 16th in hits, 16th in doubles, and 23rd in triples.
They completely live and die by the homerun. How are you even arguing against that notion? It's like arguing that Judge isn't tall.
You can root for this team, and even think this team will win the WS, and still admit that this team does one thing well offensively. Because that's who they are, and everyone not sticking their head in the sand knows it.
They did it better than any team in MLB history, but it's still the only thing they do.
