The New York Yankees have lost their last four games and are currently experiencing one of the lower points of the 2021 season, as they now sit just two games above .500. In the AL East, they have dropped down to fourth place, 6.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays in first. Even the Toronto Blue Jays have overtaken them by .5 games, so unless the offense can pick up the slack, the Yankees could find themselves floundering and gasping for air.
However, it never helps when the umpiring is lackluster, as the team experienced in Sunday’s defeat against Boston.
