The Yankees lost their 77th game of the season on Sunday, falling 7-1 to the Arizona Diamondbacks in a rain-soaked contest in New York. They’re officially eliminated from postseason contention, and as we’ve all anticipated for most of the last six weeks, they’ll be watching the October festivities from home for the first time since 2016.
Carlos Rodón’s lost season is a pretty solid avatar for how things have gone as a whole this year, and despite having a chance to leave a good taste in our mouths entering the offseason, things got off on the wrong foot pretty much immediately.
