It’s mid-April and, per usual, Yankees fans are panicking about the Bronx Bombers’ bats.
Why shouldn’t they? New York lost two of three to the lowly Orioles over the weekend. Even worse, the Orioles outscored the Yankees 9-6 over three games. The Birds are tanking (again), so how could Aaron Boone let this happen?
Sound the alarm indeed, right?
Wrong.
Look, we get it. The Yankees have frustratingly underachieved the last couple of years, and 2022 was supposed to be different. Brand new team, brand new attitude, a real shot at the World Series.
