09/14: Yankees Bats Ice Cold So Far In Sept
Posted by: James
This is not amusing. So far, this month, you have three good hitters - Abreu, A-Rod and Posada. Everyone else...if you have children, don't let them see this.
W Betemit .850
J Damon .758
R Cano .652 (a ground ball machine this month)
J Giambi.580
M Cabrera .552 (GB ratio over 1.5)
D Jeter .485 (wow)
H Matsui .454 (bigger wow)
25 XBHs for the top three guys versus 14 total for the 7 guys listed there. This isn't going to get it done for the rest of the month, let alone in the playoffs. Let's hope most of these guys turn it around because we've gone through extended hitting slumps (see 2007, April-May) and no one was amused.

Those are surprising numbers to look at considering they've won 8 of 9 (9-3 in September).
Story of this season is how the pitching has had to help out slumping hitters or vice versa all year round. In May and June it wasn't quite enough, but the Yankees in September have allowed just 43 runs in 12 games (3.58 runs per game).
