Did you hear? The New York Yankees lost their fifth game in a row on Tuesday night and Devin Williams blew another save. Wait a minute ... that doesn't sound right! Aren't the Yankees the absolute best and aren't all of their processes ironclad?
Maybe the Yankees of 25 years ago! This version of the Bombers has played sub.-500 baseball since Memorial Day weekend, and there's absolutely no end in sight. Is it the players' fault? Sure. Blame everybody. But manager Aaron Boone has done very little to better navigate the endless slide.
It continued on Tuesday night when he called upon Williams to handle the highest leverage moment in the game just hours after he said he'd be going with a closer by committee.
