More Of The Same When It Comes To The Yankees In The Playoffs

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The Yankees in the Boone era can’t walk and chew gum in a short series at the same time. It’s the story of our lives.  Last night, with ample opportunity to go ahead 2-0 against the Royals they pittered out.  It doesn’t matter that Bob Costas was the biggest anti-Yankee bitch I’ve ever heard in my lifetime… I mean that added to it. But it was the fact that Aaron Boone was managing the pitching like it was Game 7 of the World Series and yet we had bodies on the bench that might have been able to spark some kind of rally.  The fact that he’s misguided, a non-leader and not worthy to be sitting in the manager seat is baffling to me all these years.

The Royals are going home. Going to Kansas City is not a good thing for New York, especially in an existing hitting slump.  Not the mention our pitching hasn’t exactly been lights out.  Pitching wins ballgames, this is true, but only if we hit.  Sure, I sound like Yogi there, but the truth is this Yankee team is not in sync at all and it’s awful.

MLB writes: 

“…the Royals are officially bringing postseason baseball back to Kauffman Stadium, a goal of theirs from the start of 2024 after hearing what the ‘14-15 runs were like and seeing how the sports city has embraced an NFL dynasty right across the parking lot at the Truman Sports Complex with the Chiefs — who, by the way, are undefeated after beating the Saints on Monday night at Arrowhead Stadium.

A “Let’s go Royals” chant broke out there. The Royals had the end of the Chiefs’ game playing in the clubhouse postgame…

“It’s going to be electric,” shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. said. “… Going back home is going to be a lot of fun. Get the boys right, getting hot at the right time.”


Synergy works and the Royals ARE getting hot. The Yankees? They are not.  Aaron Judge can’t figure it out. Juan Soto looked flat.  Sure, it’s important to have everyone contribute at the right time, and that is something that essentially makes good teams, team contributions, but if we’ve seen anything from the Yankees this season it’s that day in and day out, it was often Juan and Aaron, and tiny contributions from the rest of our hitters. 

I have written about this all year long; the Yankees are not built for this. Our pitching was NEVER sorted out last winter and should have been… we’re seeing it now.  Our hitting is sporadic… we are seeing that again and our defense… is NOT what we were told we were getting.  I have seen the sloppiest shortstop in Anthony Volpe the last 2 games. He is not the shortstop we need.
So, what now? Well, we go to Kansas City as a mouse in a lion’s den.  It will be loud, it will be hard and we just have to try and win and not be complacent.  Complacency kills teams.  We walk around often with our chest puffed out talking about how we are 27 world championship winners a lot. But what does it matter?  Touting it means nothing unless we can keep going.  It’s like your town winning “best family town”, although that was a decade ago and the town looks pretty run down these days.  You can harp on your reward in the moment… but it’s what comes next?  What are the Yankees going to do next to add to those rewards?    
We will see, but my feeling is it ain’t happening with amateur Aaron Boone.  We need something better. That’s the bottom line.

    Yankees do not have legitimate starters that can survive late in the game. They also do not have hitters that can hit major league pitching so I don’t expect them to go very far.
