Yankees ALCS Game 2 report card; whose to blame?
Millions of Yankees fans felt a sinking feeling as they watched Carlos Correa hit a walk-off home run in Game 2 of the ALCS. As I saw the baseball land in the seats, I kept repeating the phrase, “we had them.”
Had it been foretold last week that the Yankees would earn a split in Games 1 and 2 of the ALCS in Houston, the overwhelming majority of Yankee fans would have been thrilled. The idea of taking a 1-1 series back to New York was heaven on Earth for many fans.
Though this hope became a reality, the outcome has lost some of its grandeur, due in large part to how Game 2 was lost.
