I wouldn't exactly call the new Yankee stadium "hostile". It's very time compared to the old place. Plus, they had barely 30k PAID tonight. The fans will show up for the playoffs (probably), but tonight was tame.
Who's blaming anyone for anything? Joe or anyone can't strike out there in that situation. It's an unproductive out and he's more likely to make contact than most of our lineup. Not blame just the truth
If losing here helps the Yankees overtake Boston and we could somehow still get the wild card, I'll be ok with it. I have zero confidence the twins could ever win a playoff game in NY, especially a winner take all game
