Sunday was a very, very bad time for Yankees fans.
It’s still too early to call anything a true dagger when it’s really all a mess, but blowing a typical Gerrit Cole performance and a four-run lead in the walk-and-error aided fashion we saw on Sunday sure feels like a dagger. On the aggregate, Holmes has been quite steady, but when he doesn’t have it, he really doesn’t have it. That such a talented pitcher can unwind to the degree that they lose critical games down the stretch that they have no business losing is about as frustrating a way to go down as there is.
