Breaking: Yankees’ Alex Verdugo sends a strong warning after defeating the Phillies.
Alex Verdugo has found his striking form again.
Despite the terrible news that has been surrounding the New York Yankees lately, their five-game winning streak is causing things to change. Wednesday’s three-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies was accomplished by the team, primarily due to the return of all but Aaron Judge and Juan Soto to the lineup.
Through YES Network, outfielder Alex Verdugo commented on whether the atmosphere in the clubhouse has changed.
Verdugo responded, “Well, I guess in a way kind of, but not really.” We know who we have when it comes to our own team, as in this clubhouse right here. Collectively, we are aware of our identity and always have each other’s backs. We were aware that it would not be long until we began to emerge from our small bubble and everyone began to participate. For us, the big men have obviously been there all year.
Naturally, the phrase “big guys” refers to Judge and Soto. Judge had June and July averages of.409 and.333 while the rest of the team struggled. Soto scored.330 and.275.
Verdugo, who hit.219 and.220 during that time, was one of the several batters who was having trouble. But in his last eight games, the former Boston Red Sox has hit in seven of them.
“Simply staying inside the ball and going back to my strengths, which was really just using the other field, was, I think, the biggest thing for me,” Verdugo said. “By letting the big guys handle everything, we’re feeling lot better and not trying to do too much in the box.”
Will things keep going in the correct way for Verdugo and New York?
The Yankees have demonstrated that this winning run is not accidental.
With five victories in a row, New York now shares the most wins in MLB with the Cleveland Guardians, Baltimore Orioles, and Philadelphia Phillies, at 65. The Yankees were the top club in baseball until mid-June, despite their 25-26 record during the previous 51 games. Even in trying circumstances, the squad has a solid base to keep it grounded.
“It’s probably a lot of things,” According to Verdugo, “I think it’s evidently just a matter of everyone working hard, being prepared, and having faith in themselves, and the results will come.” “If you’re having trouble, you really can’t be on that rollercoaster with someone who is succeeding.” You simply have to have faith that you’re getting ready correctly each day. I believe that Jazz’s arrival and her immediate influence on us have also been quite beneficial. This is the season when you have to swallow your pride and do whatever it takes to come out on top.
DJ Lemahieu, a Yankee who recorded a career-high six RBI in Wednesday’s 6-5 victory, is one player who has the ability to send the squad into orbit. Despite his season average of just.182, the veteran infielder believes he is “onto something” following his spectacular day, according to Dan Martin of The New York Post.
“It’s been difficult for me,” LeMahieu remarked. “Today felt really good.”
When players on the team other than the “big guys” hit regularly, New York becomes a formidable opponent.
