I am not sure this team is “hard to watch”... we’ve had a no-hitter, three triple plays, some of the best Statcast data you’ll ever see, and even tonight, Aaron Judge engineered a nice deke-and-catch for a double play. This team is, however, monotonous, where every game (and every recap) feels the same. The Yankees fell behind early, pulled even, showed some life, then the offense completely disappeared once again, as they dropped the series opener to the Angels 5-3.
I was fine with Michael King. I do think the Yankees need to explore using an opener if they’re going to keep giving him starts, given his 10 earned runs in 6 first innings this season.
