FiveThirtyEight | Neil Paine: As a Philadelphia 76ers fan, I can tell you all about the virtues of “Trusting the Process.” With the 2021 Yankees though, things are a little different. Although the Yankees are preaching patience and a belief that talent will win out, statistics show that this has been one of the lowest-performing offenses in team history. It’s difficult to trust the process when there’s a seeming lack of fundamentals in the field, but a deep analytical dive shows a team that has been somewhat unlucky on offense, with performance far below its expected stats.
