Yankees’ Double-A team crushing Cleveland ace felt so backwards

On the one hand, the Yankees‘ minor leaguers seem to have some serious offensive mojo going, and have raked at every level from April through September.

On the other hand: Aughhhhhh, the MLB team is insufferable.

Let the kids play. Let the kids play against an MVP-level MLB ace. Apparently, nothing matters — and, as we’ve seen repeatedly throughout 2021, replacing the entire Yankees roster with all-new folks only improves their chances.

Another fun example of just how joyous baseball can be came on Sunday afternoon — no, not in the Bronx, but in Akron, Ohio, where there was a more impressive pitcher on the mound than the one Cleveland actually sent to face the Yankees.
