It is depressingly apparent that the Yankees will go as far as their pitching staff will take them, because the offense is an abomination. Facing an all-time terrible team — one that carried a league-worst 6.08 ERA and 5.39 FIP into play on Tuesday and was on pace for over 120 losses — the New York offense managed just a single run. It’s frankly unbelievable how bad this offense is. If you have to shut out one of the worst teams in the history of modern baseball to win, sustained success is probably not in your future.
