The game was tied 0-0 going into the bottom of the eighth.
The Yankees managed only one hit through those eight innings.
The Rangers, on the other hand, had many base runners, but had failed miserably all game long with runners on base. That is, until the Yankees brought in Devin Williams who gave up a double (off Jason Dominguez's glove), walked a batter, walked another batter, and then gave up a two-run single. How Williams was permitted to stay in the game that long is a mystery. It was clear after the first walk that he needed to come out of the game, but Aaron Boone seemed not to know what to do. He looked completely lost in the dugout.
The Yankees went down quietly in the ninth.
The Yankees have now lost five games in a row.
The Yankees are 25-34 since May 30.
The team has gone 7-11 since the All-Star Break.
The team had a losing record in June.
The team had a losing record in July.
The team is 0-5 in August.
Did they hit rock bottom?
Is Brian Cashman going to make a statement?
Is Hal Steinbrenner?
Is the Yankees management okay with this? Does their silence speak volumes? What is the justification for sticking with the manager who has shown no ability to understand how to get his team out of this funk?
Full recap in the morning.

Raise your hand if you said they should be sellers at the deadline because they were so overly flawed. Wish I had been wrong. But I will admit that fine 2022 I have been of the mind that I will be happy with any result that ends Boones tenure as manager. Maybe this is what it takes
if this, despite being a pretty well-played game, is not the bottom
then there may be none
the Yankees made the first mistake
and it was but one of too many
Here is an attempt to answer the questions:
Nope. Not until they miss the playoffs then wonder what hit them. In Hal’s wallet.
Even if he does, he wont say anything.
No way. He could care less. If he does it will be an insincere self serving deflection.
Apparently they are.
Yep. It says they ARE Ok with this disgrace.
It’s a lot more convenient this way. Besides, see the previous two answers.
Thank goodness they're bringing back the Old Timers' Game. We know we won't have to wait past Saturday for a Yankee team to win a game.
