CLEVELAND — Add two RBIs, subtract a home run and Paul Goldschmidt’s power numbers on June 9 of the past two seasons would be identical.
The crazy part is that Goldschmidt reached eight home runs and 27 RBIs in his first 40 games this season compared to more than 60 last season — when he also was hitting a robust .312 — so a case could be made that he is even more efficient now in the Yankees’ time of need than he was at his turn-back-the-clock peak.
And maybe that means a better chance that he will sustain his production and avoid the swoon that followed last season’s fast start and heavy workload.
“I have no idea what the future is going to hold,” Goldschmidt said. “I don’t even think about it. I just try to show up every day and try to help us win. It’s impossible to predict the future.”
