I’ll never forget Greg Abbott saying “it could have been worse” after those grown men stood outside that classroom for 77 minutes in Uvalde listening to those babies get slaughtered
That is an absolute failure from the Yankees. They wasted a World Series caliber rotation in a weak AL. They didn’t show up against two AL East rivals in back to back DS. They’re celebrating on your field again. Embarrassing.
There should be changes but there won’t be.
POV: you are about to get eliminated by a division rival for the 5th time in nine seasons on the job, resulting in zero titles, only one pennant, and wasting the entirety of the prime of the greatest right handed hitter of a generation. Sick.
Excited for the Yankees to have a stretch where they look unstoppable, then struggle heavily during the summer. Then have one good round of the postseason and then look abysmal in another and then the season will end. Every year. Same story. Baseball!
The defensive blunders
The bad baserunning
Zero situational awareness
Constant historically bad records set
Always falling short of high expectations
Other teams celebrating on their field
Offensive approach falls flat in October
Yankees baseball since 2018 (Boone Era)
The Dodgers literally told everybody after the 2024 World Series that the Yankees crumble when you put pressure on their defense and it’s still true 2 years later.
I can’t remember a team losing a playoff game because of routine ground balls. Lol. They didn’t give up home runs. They didn’t give up a ton of extra base hits. They didn’t even have to defend a bunt. They lost because they couldn’t field ground balls or hit the ball.
The Dodgers spent the entire 2024 season taking pot shots at the Yankees and mocking how easy it was to beat them with balls in play and they promptly responded by embarassing themselves defensively in a must-win game just two years later
