There’s no reprieve in the Bronx when the New York Yankees are playing poorly. The shots just keep on coming and it’s an avalanche of disappointment and tension.
Take the team’s latest loss, for instance. Coming off getting swept by the Detroit Tigers in arguably the most embarrassing performance by any team thus far in 2021, the Yankees followed that up with an absolute stinker in a 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
