Talk of torpedo bats has dissipated as Yankees offense continues to disappear: ‘No excuses’
NY Post
When the Yankees left The Bronx after their first homestand of the season, their offense — and their torpedo bats — were the talk of the sport.
Their first two games in Pittsburgh did nothing to change that as the Yankees put up 19 runs to open that series, giving them 72 runs in their first eight games.
But since then, the lineup has been much less intimidating, scoring 10 runs over the final four games of their road trip.
A return to the Stadium didn’t help Friday, as the Yankees offense was quiet again against the Giants in a 9-1 loss that was cut short in the sixth inning and served as their fourth defeat in five games.
Certainly, the cold and wet conditions Friday night didn’t help, as the weather played a role in keeping Austin Wells’ shot to right in the park — barely — in the bottom of the second.
But besides that, the Yankees didn’t threaten much against left-hander Robbie Ray.
