Welcome to 2025. A Yankees loss that would've been utterly life-ruining in 2000, 2009, or even 2017 happens every six games these days. Sometimes four games. Sometimes every day.
Sometimes, fan perception can skew reality. Things are rarely as bad as they feel at our lowest emotional moments. Occasionally, the team ranks top 10 in statistics that measure things it feels like they "can't" do. Unfortunately, these Yankees are exactly as bad at the things that cause us pain as it feels like they are. They have been since 2021 ... or maybe 2020 ... perhaps even 2018?
