Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner is finally becoming more like his father, but in the best possible way.
He’ll talk about his team now, but in the most tempered possible way. He’ll call out players, but only in the kindest possible way.The younger Steinbrenner scheduled his occasionally annual talk with the Yankees’ press corps in Midtown on Tuesday, a few hours before the Subway Series started, and he made clear what’s on his mind after 67 so-so games, 38 wins, 29 losses and a third-place standing.
Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner says veteran Yankees, such as Anthony Rizzo and DJ LeMahieu, have to start hitting, especially due to the absence of Aaron Judge.“I don’t think it’s a mental thing. I don’t think it’s in their heads,” he went on. “But it’s been a two-week sample size, and it hasn’t been promising. But as you know, he’s one of the best players in the game, and we’re going to miss him.
Hal was never going to be George, either, despite the genes. But for years it seemed he was resolved to acting out the reverse. He appeared unusually press averse and was overly cautious for a guy who owns the team and can presumably say what he pleases. Steinbrenner seemed focused on the trio of LeMahieu, Stanton and Rizzo, possibly since they’re the ones with the best résumés . LeMahieu is a two-time batting champion, Stanton a former MVP and Rizzo a hero of the 2016 World Series champion Cubs who’s been just as good since coming to New York.
Said Rizzo: “Obviously, every game you want to get five hits. That’s the mentality. You just take it one day at a time.”
