New York Yankee fans over the past week have been trying to swallow a bitter pill, another early exit to the postseason. First, they lost the wild card game against their traditional rivals, the Boston Red Sox. Now they have to sit back and watch teams they really don’t like advance to World Series play. The Yankees have now not even played in a World Series contest since 2009. Twelve years of pain, and Yankee fans want answers.
The blame game is in full swing, with some blaming the underperforming players, the coaches, the manager, and even the front office and the analytics department.
