1. Concentrate on hitting lazy flies to CF Aaron Judge. They should be in front of him, well within range, and aimed directly at his glove. Try to hit the pocket.
2. Contrary to general wisdom, men on 2nd base should run to 3rd on a grounder to SS. Anthony Volpe can throw to 1st, 2nd and home. Throwing to 3rd, he is Chuck Knoblauch.
3. Hit slow, easy grounders to 1B, especially with runners on base. This "sweet spot" will baffle Anthony Rizzo and Gerrit Cole, who have no idea how to deal with such balls.
4. Batters should stand deeper in the box to gain catcher interferences.
5. Runners on 1st should attempt to draw three pickoff attempts. Important: The third attempt will be lobbed.
6. Dodger pitchers don't need to throw strikes. Instead, pitches should be outside and in the dirt. Don't worry. Yankees will swing at them.
7. Only use Dodger pitchers who have had lousy seasons. The more disappointing, the better.
8. Instruct right fielders not to chase fouls near the stands. They might lose a hand.

This part is telling...
"They were thrilled at how short Yankee leads were at first base to potentially be less of a threat on pivots at second, where Gavin Lux does not excel. They said their metrics had the Yankees as the worst positioned outfield. They were amazed how many times relay throws came skittering through the infield with no one taking charge and how often Jazz Chisholm Jr., for example, was out of place or just standing still when a play was in action. “
Their metrics....are you fucking kidding me? After the overhaul of said department!
Yanks picked up Weaver's option for 2025. The first decent news of the offseason.
The small lead thing demands explanation.
That seems like some super secret "inefficiency" discovered and "exploited" by Cashman's nerds, who pass it along to the coaches for organization-wide distribution. Superficially clever, disastrous in application.
