BRONX, N.Y. — It was bad enough that the New York Yankees were swept at home by the Tampa Bay Rays but the fashion in which they did so was embarrassing and inexcusable. Some of the mental errors they make in the field are mind-boggling. Who’s coaching these guys? Plus, with guys in and out of the lineup, it’s no wonder they can’t get into a rhythm. Oh, and they need about 2-3 more starting pitchers.
At 5-10, the Yankees are off to their worst start since 1997. That team won 96 games, earned the AL Wild Card, and was bounced in the ALDS.
