From virtually every viewpoint other than starting pitching, this has been a disappointing season for the New York Yankees. Chief among these disappointments is the lack of production from pretty much any hitter not named Aaron Judge or Giancarlo Stanton. For me, perhaps the second most disappointing storyline from this season is the implosion of Aroldis Chapman, which seemed to come out of nowhere after a historic start and threw the bullpen into chaos for a long stretch in the middle of the season.
Despite this, the Yankees find themselves right in the middle of the Wild Card race because of some lengthy streaks that have come at the perfect time.
