They simply stopped shipping all their best talent for rent a major leaguers. Finally learned it's not a long term recipe for success. Their farm system is allegedly loaded.

It's not a long term recipe for success?

 

The last time the Yankees had a losing record was 1995.

True, but I don't think too many folks in NY are too happy with 1 WS in 16 years. Not when Boston has 3. All those years of twins winning from 01-10 were run and all, but..

Kind of, but Smith was a 14th round pick, Jordan Montgomery was a 4th round pick, and Judge was the 32nd pick of the first round. They're developing unheralded players.

When I can watch, I usually get the other team's feed.  Always need a puke bucket nearby if it's the Yanks or Red Sox, but it's kind of fun to play "guess the excuse" for losing to the Twinks.

 

They used up theirs already when we were up 2-0.  Of course, it's the fatigue from the trip.

 

But the 8th inning rally included some lucky little bleeders for hits against the mighty Yanks.

 

Come on, Brandon.  Shut 'em down.

These aren't the worst NY has to offer. But you got the feeling the DH they played yesterday was a rare baseball occurrence.

I think he meant not a recipe for long term success, unless you have 300 million to spend on payroll every year.  :)

The problem is, other big dogs in the league started to play their game. And played it better.
