| 2nd July, 2008 - 5:39 pm | ESPN - Hank Steinbrenner wants the Yankees hitters to "wake up" as they enter a key stretch of the season, according to The Associated Press.
"We've got to start hitting," he said Wednesday. "It's getting ridiculous. They've got to start waking up. They've shown in flashes what they can still do."
New York has scored just seven runs in their last four games, three of which were losses.
"Even when I was worried about the pitching earlier -- starting pitching is the most important thing of all -- but Brian would keep telling me, 'Yes, but I worried about the hitting,' " Steinbrenner added. "That was Brian's biggest concern even as we were reconstructing the pitching. We all know they're better than that. I don't know. Maybe a little less outside distractions and a little more concentrating and they'll start hitting better. I thought they would go on a consistent tear, and it hasn't happened yet."
The Yankees host a four-game set with the Red Sox beginning on Thursday. [READ] |
