The ALDS has not been kind to the New York Yankees two games into a best-of-five. The Bronx Bombers, who led baseball with a 119 wRC+, the most efficient offense in the game, have been outscored 23-8 by the Toronto Blue Jays. The do-or-die Game 3 happens at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night.
And, unlike most people squawking on social media, this writer is not concerned. Not one iota. In fact, one could even argue there’s reason for cautious optimism.
Because how quickly we forget that in the American League Division Series, the Yankees have come back from being down 2-0 not once, but twice.
