There’s no way to sugarcoat it, Monday night’s ALDS Game 3 performance was abysmal. It was an utter embarrassment for anyone and everyone associated with the Yankees, fans included.
What was supposed to be a raucous crowd of 49,657 screaming supporters turned into a cathedral of crickets. Naturally, when things go DEFCON level-5 bad, people want answers — or at the very least someone to take the blame.
However, the Yankees were a cluster of confusion even before the first pitch was thrown, as starter Luis Severino was reportedly late to the bullpen for his pre-game warmups.
