🔮 Joe Girardi isn’t blaming Aaron Boone for the Yankees’ shortcomings, but believes a deeper-rooted culture issue might have contributed to the team being swept in the ALDS.
🔮 As the series shifts to Yankee Stadium for Game 3, New York will hope to kick off the difficult task of winning three straight games to advance — and McCutchen thinks his former club can pull it off.
🔮 After dominating the Red Sox across two games of the Wild Card series, the Yankees’ offense could not muster much in Game 1.
🔮 To me, that’s more impressive than any kind of Triple Crown that we would talk about.
