His team was in the middle of some serious struggles with Aaron Judge sidelined.
Zoom to the present and those struggles have not only continued, they’ve gotten worse.
Here’s how the Yankees have faired against dreadful starting pitchers recently.
It was effortless for him too.
Griffon Canning struck out a career high 12 men on Tuesday.
The list goes on and on.
Some joked IKF wasn’t laughing here because he was thinking about possibly coming into pitch later.
Could you imagine a Jeter team doing this?
He’d have them murdered.
This is what Frank fictionally rants about when the Mets are struggling.
Well, here it is in real life.
Rizzo and Volpe both in miserable slumps at the moment too.
It’s fucking crazy what we’re watching.
I honestly didn’t realize how much Aaron Judge masked last year during his historic run.
The best highlights from the week have been Judge running around the bases and taking BP before the game.
Once it actually starts there’s nothing but sadness.
So what can be done?
Aside from Judge returning and channeling his MVP form I don’t know.
Even that would only be smoke and mirrors for how bad the team actually is.
This team just sucks.
Cashman has assembled a high payroll of underperforming bums who have nothing left in the tank.
The organization’s philopshy on hitting is so far from what they need to do.
What trades that you make at the deadline are going to fill all these holes?
Like putting bandaid on a dam that’s leaking.
This ship is sunk.
He was easily thrown out.
Dude hit 6th tonight!
After the game Aaron Boone called this an inconsequential out.
It’s a player in scoring position running directly into an out and we’re saying this is fine?
Boone actually admitted the team stinks tonight which is progress.
He then went on to blame the sun for their poor middle of the game at bats.
He reiterated that everything is right in front of them and that they are in the fight.
I honestly hear him say this every single night.
And of course the inconsequential line that made me wish I was in the OceanGate submarine.
While Aaron Boone is not the main culprit of their immense struggles, he does not help at all.
There isn’t one player who has gotten better under his tenure.
The Yankees truly are miracle workers for the league’s most inept.
9 games against COL, LAA, and KC.
So far they’re 1-5.
I’d say this is rock bottom, but look ahead to that gauntlet.
But like Boone said, it’s right in front of them.
Can’t wait to hear that broken record for the next few weeks.
