Yankees crumbling in World Series is raising uncomfortable question
Theres still a game to go, and that likely isnt good news for these Yankees. Through three games all defeats the Yankees are showing no indication they belong on the same field with the Dodgers, much le s in a World Series with anyone. The questions that must be asked now: Did they win a league that was unusually weak? And did we all (myself included) overrate them? The Dodgers are killing them, and keep in mind LA is doing it with only three starting pitchers one with an alleged lower-back concern that scared off these very Yankees, one who returned from shoulder woes and a third (Walker Buehler) whod won only one game since returning midseason from his second Tommy John surgery that is before shutting the Yankees down . Yankees center fielder Aaron Judge reacts on the field alongside third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. after Chisholm strikes out ending the 8th inning. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post The actual good news is that, a suming the Yankees dont become the first team to win the World Series after losing the first three games, there is nothing to regret in terms of one bad decision or call. All indications are the Yankees are not the caliber of a World Series winner. The Yankees should win Tuesday in Game 4 with the depleted Dodgers employing a dreaded bullpen game . But who knows anymore? More From Jon Heyman These Yankees were supposed to po se s an immense rotation advantage of course, LA has five starters who range from good Roberto Alomar Jersey to all-time great out with various injuries yet LAs starter won the last two matchups in overwhelming fashion. Neither Game 3 starter Clarke Schmidt nor Carlos Rodon . Luis Severino months ago jokingly trash-talked the Yankees by text, telling them they had two hitters, and he might be right. He just had the wrong two. Its Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton now. Aaron Judge continued his unreal October funk. Yankees starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt #36 reacts during the second inning. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post This obviously isnt the real Judge, who still stands as an all-time great. But we probably need to reevaluate this team. It won 94 games, but it feels like the Yankees did it in a much inferior league. Does anyone doubt the Dodgers played two much better teams the Padres and Mets to get here? Follow The Posts coverage of the Yankees in the postseason: Lets not forget, those Mets, allegedly a team in transition, beat the Yankees four for four. Its time to face the reality that this is a flawed Yankees team, a team whose lineup lacks true depth, a team , a team that doesnt do any little things. In these three games, they didnt do big things, either. Giancarlo Stanton #27 of the New York Yankees is tagged out at home trying to score on a single by Anthony Volpe #11 of the New York Yankees ending the fourth inning. Jason Szenes / New York Post The Yankees took 15 years to get back to the World Series, and when they finally arrived, they look like they dont belong. Bruce Bochy Jersey
