It is crazy to see this Yankees team stay afloat in the playoff race despite little offensive production from multiple key veterans and the prolonged absence of Aaron Judge. Now more than ever, the team will have to rely on Harrison Bader, Anthony Volpe, DJ LeMahieu, and Giancarlo Stanton to play at or near their best ability at the plate.
I was seriously concerned heading into the weekend that this would be the time when the Yankees would fall to fourth in the division and potentially out of a Wild Card spot. The Rangers’ offense likely would be too much for this team to handle, but thanks to fantastic pitching, the Yankees had a shot to win multiple games.
