The New York Yankees are heading into the season’s last month in dire straights. After losing two series against the Athletics and Angels, they need big wins against some division rivals to win the AL East and get a first-round bye. However, many are not convinced that they can do that. Considering the rhetoric from a particular manager about a certain Yankees shortstop and high-ranking prospect, I don’t blame anyone!
Aaron Judge is lighting up the statistical leaderboards, and the pitching has been good, especially the bullpen. However, it’s nail-biting time with a division lead dwindling and the regular season closing due to bad errors and poor performances at the plate from players who should be producing.
