RISP WATCH

About 4 games ago, I remarked that the Yankees had left 18 men on base, a ridiculous number by any standard. Well after not even getting on base the following game, they came back with a 20 LOB game to finish the Tigers series and then a 16 LOB game in the Wang-win last night, for an average of 18 per game. This simply cannot continue. One remedy might be to sit Giambi, who seems unable to lift that 160 batting average. The other might be to play Chad Moeller for awhile, if his defense suffices. He seems a much better hitter than Molina. Finally, I'll repeat, play Gonzalez at third for now (Ensberg can play first with Duncan). I will keep a running account of the RISP situation.
