Former New York Yankees’ great Yogi Berra famously liked to say "It’s getting late early out there." It feels like it’s getting late early for the Yankees right now, who are off to their worst start in 30 years.
The Yankees lost to the Atlanta Braves 4-1 at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night and moved to 6-11 on the season — dead last in the AL East. The last time the club started the season 6-11 was in 1991. This two-game midweek matchup was once billed as a potential World Series preview but the Braves also find themselves at the bottom of the standings in their own division.
