On June 14, the New York Yankees grew to become the primary group to succeed in 50 wins, bettering to an MLB-best 50-22 following an 8-1 victory over the Boston Pink Sox. My, oh, my, how issues have modified since then, and it might need the temperature rising underneath supervisor Aaron Boone’s seat.
As soon as the holders of one of the best report in baseball, the Yankees are actually 54-35, two video games again of the Baltimore Orioles (55-32) for first within the American League East. In the meantime, they’re simply 4-13 since reaching the half-century mark, and it appears Boone has few solutions for the group’s struggles.
After the Cincinnati Reds accomplished a three-game sweep of the Yankees with an 8-4 win on Thursday, Boone refuted questions on his membership’s confidence. However, apart from saying they wanted to play higher on “all fronts,” he gave the impression of a supervisor slowly crumbling underneath strain, offering cliché responses just like these used final season.
“I do sense there are some guys form of going by it if you’re looking for your manner and get that traction going,” Boone mentioned through the YES Community. “It is a bit little bit of a grind proper now for a handful of men—we gotta make it possible for, greatest you’ll be able to, you climate that storm.”
The baseball season is lengthy, and each group will expertise ups and downs, although the Yankees’ current downtrend is regarding at greatest. In the meantime, Boone’s feedback could be OK for a group working to seek out its footing early within the season, however it’s July, and New York goes backward, not ahead, with seemingly no finish in sight.
The Yankees have misplaced 5 of the final six sequence, with the one exception being a four-game cut up in opposition to the Toronto Blue Jays. Nevertheless, the Reds got here to city and rapidly erased any potential momentum gained, with a three-game set in opposition to their rival and red-hot Pink Sox (winners of 4 straight) looming.
