What in the world is going on with the Yankees defense? I know it’s still early in the season, but this team has been incredibly sloppy in the field through the first 16 games. Last night’s loss had to be their ugliest display of defense this season, but there have been multiple games thus far where a lack of fundamentals has cost them.
Masahiro Tanaka really struggled Tuesday night, but the Yankees infield did him no favors while he was out there. The usually sure-handed Didi Gregorius had a big throwing error in a three-run first inning and in the second Tyler Austin simply dropped a ball thrown to him from Gary Sanchez.
