Something I think we’re all trying to wrap our minds around is the true impact of the short season. The math is simple: there will (hopefully) be 60 games which is 37% of a full 162-game season, meaning each game has 2.7X the weight. We can round-up to say every game is equal to three in a normal year. That also magnifies things like slumps, and two Yankees are in the midst of horrendous ones.
Gardy is 0-for-11 to start the season and has been on base just one time, a walk against the Nationals on Saturday. More glaring is the fact that he has seven strikeouts, meaning he’s whiffed in 58% of his plate appearances.
