Baseball is a fickle beast. Every time a team’s hot, we act like they’re unstoppable. In some cases, we even say stuff like, “get the World Series rings ready” because we become so confident in that team’s prospects for the current season. It’s certainly a habit I’ve fallen into; at times, the 2018 Yankees have looked like, and could even be considered, the best team in baseball.
Now, though, the tables have turned. Putting it simply, the Yanks are playing lousy baseball. Few fans will rise to the team’s defense at the bluntness of that statement. That’s how upsetting this stretch has been for the Yankees and their fans.
