“#Yankees hurdles will test Brian Cashman\u2019s patience like never before<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n WASHINGTON \u2014 Earlier this month, we hit the 10-year anniversary of George Steinbrenner\u2019s passing, and the truth is that the transformation of the Yankees\u2019 culture was well underway by the time The Boss died.<\/p>\n

Pinstrip<\/a>ed patience, a refusal to overreact to small samples, ranks as recognizable in The Bronx nowadays as a short right-field porch and the absence of beards.<\/p>\n

Then came the coronavirus, and among its least consequential worldwide effects is a dramatically shortened 2020 Major League Baseball schedule, the 60 regular-season game<\/a>s only 37 percent of the standard 162.<\/p>\n

Which means that, when the Yankees and Nationals break the ice on this highly anticipated campaign Thursday night at Nationals Park (weather permitting), Gerrit Cole making his Yankees debut against Max Scherzer, the Steinbrenner family\u2019s crown jewel faces familiar, sky-high pressure and expectations \u2014 on unfamiliar terrain that discourages patience and offers only small samples.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we get out of the gate slowly, you\u2019re going to hear us all speak to, \u2018We have time.\u2019 But it\u2019s just less time to deal with,\u201d Yankees general<\/a> manager Brian Cashman, who led the charge to transform the organizational culture, said Wednesday. \u201cSo yeah \u2026 anything that ails us, we need to probably address sooner than maybe we would have to in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

As one example of this season\u2019s urgency, Cashman divulged that he recently raised an issue with his manager Aaron Boone: Given the depth and explosiveness of the team\u2019s offense, should the Yankees concede any games this year? Normally, if you fall behind big early, you ask your mop-up man to soak up some innings \u2014 or, as Cashman put it, find \u201ca Christian you throw to the lions\u201d \u2014 and live to fight another day. You might not be able to afford that luxury this time around, Cashman said, because \u201cwithin the blink of an eye, the season\u2019s going to be over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boone, for his part, opined: \u201cSixty games, is that an opportunity for maybe some teams of lesser quality to be relevant and factor in? Sure. That\u2019s a fair point, and I think it opens the door maybe for some teams that maybe over 162 might struggle. But I\u2019m looking at this to be an advantage for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

It brought to mind Boone\u2019s counterintuitive comments from earlier this week that his players, who historically, consistently receive massive fan support, would thrive in empty ballparks. Just like then, the manager expressed belief in the character of his corps: \u201cThis year is going to present a whole new different level of adversities, and I feel like we are cut out to handle that. And that is the expectation, and we\u2019re excited for that challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cole, asked about the randomness that 60 games can create, cited the reigning champion Nats and their slow start in 2019; at 27-33 through 60, they wouldn\u2019t have qualified for even a 16-team playoff. Said the right-hander: \u201cIf the Washington Nationals knew that the first 60 games were going to make or break their postseason app<\/a>earance, maybe it would\u2019ve been different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maybe. Maybe not, though. The Yankees should easily grab an October invitation, stand as the favorites to defend their American League East title. On the other hand \u2026 that darn 60-game slate again.<\/p>\n

Boone said he has discussed this issue with his players, \u201cin the sense that nothing changes for us. Nothing. \u2026 We\u2019re looking to play well tomorrow, and when that one\u2019s over, we\u2019ll move on. Our guys are focused, our guys are ready and I\u2019m confident we\u2019ll go out and be really good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cashman, who at one point referred to his team as \u201ca band of merry men,\u201d said of the schedule, \u201cIt\u2019s going to create opportunity for anybody to step up and do something special, I can\u2019t stress enough how much I want that to be us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not a great time to be patient. Always a great time to be champions. Here they come (unless it rains), ready to adjust their pace for the sprint ahead of them.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
