The Yankees didn't just lose to the Red Sox...they gave up 7 runs in the ninth to get embarrassed. They can't beat good teams.

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

This year's Yankees have a winning record but they are not a winning team! They start fast and fade in the summer. If you polled fans I imagine a great majority would tell you that they think this is still a good team.
Will never win with boone.
I don't see them making even the 3rd wildcard spot, but if they did it would be over very quickly. They have wasted prime seasons from Cole and Judge. This is baseball malpractice.
Just in case anyone thought the 7-1 against the Weak Sisters indicated a turn around . . . .
Sure, there are 20 games left against Ballamer, Minysota, the White Flags, and Gnationals, but there's also 13 against good teams. You can easily see them going 17-16 for 86 wins, a .531 season winning percentage. Right now, that would make them the third wild card, but even if they are second, does anyone see them beating any of Houston, Boston or Seattle in a best of three series in the other team's park? Getting swept out in two games seems much more likely.
I don't care about the 7 run 9th. When you are now something like 6-20 against good teams and 1-8 against Boston and like 1-6 the last 2 series against Toronto you're not winning nothing.
Normally, I wait till the end of the season to ask the question: Are the Yankees closer to winning #28 now then when upon the conclusion of the 2017 when Cashman had the OK to go all in on analytics? I can think of the top of my head of at least 8 things that need to be scrapped and done over. My #1 thing to fix is the coaching & in game methods, and the second is to redo the Yankees Medical Group.
