BT and Sal dissect the New York Yankees' perplexing tendency to strike out, arguing that their "all-or-nothing", launch-angle focused approach is hindering their offense despite having plenty of power. Sal champions the idea of acquiring a high-contact, defensive-minded third baseman like Nolan Arenado to balance the lineup, contrasting him with strikeout-prone options like Eugenio Suarez or even Anthony Volpe, who a scout suggests is trying to hit like Aaron Judge. They emphasize the importance of putting the ball in play, even if it's a groundout for an RBI, as opposed to the current lineup's frequent whiffs, which they believe limits run-scoring opportunities.
