New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner recently voiced his bewilderment over fans’ concerns regarding the team’s June performance. However, the team’s 2-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night paints a clear picture of the reasons behind fan disgruntlement and apprehension about the team’s roster construction process.
Disappointing Show against the Athletics
Considering the Athletics’ reputation as one of the worst teams in baseball, boasting a dismal 21-60 record and 39 games below .500, the Yankees’ scoring a single run against them seems nothing short of embarrassing. The Athletics arguably have one of the weakest pitching corps in the league, further highlighting the Yankees’ subpar performance.
