The New York Yankees currently own the best record in Major League Baseball. However, that doesn't make the team impervious to criticism. This week's victim of New York Yankees fan outrage and ire is centerfielder Aaron Hicks. The young outfielder has received criticism since permanently assuming the role of leadoff hitter in the lineup. However, a base running blunder causing him to be picked off in the eighth inning during the Yankees matchup against the Chicago White Sox had fans from all corners of Twitter in quite the tizzy.The New York Yankees Aaron Hicks is being heavily criticized for his inability to performIt started with questions.

Fortunately, Judge hit a bomb to left to tie the game at 1-1. Hicks’ running mistake won’t be the reason they lose, but could be the reason they don’t win. twitter.com/talkinyanks/st…Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanksHicks gets picked off 2nd as the tying run in the 8th70228Hicks gets picked off 2nd as the tying run in the 8th https://t.co/STEnZGkEUDHe’s giving Cashman and Boone plenty reasons to move on from a perennial underperformed.

Hicks has a career on-base percentage of .290 when leading off a game, which is absolutely abysmal, and while he offers a great deal to the club defensively, offense is what excites New York Yankees fans.
