Yankees have 19 walk-off losses since the start of last season. That's the most in MLB.
“Championship caliber team”
Boone - “It’s in front of us but we can’t catch it.”

This. If the team was healthy and playing well, I’d have more hope, but we’re neither. We don’t hit bad pitchers. We give up runs to poor-hitting teams, make errors afield and in the bases that always seem to come back to bite us. The highly ranked bullpen chooses the worst times to have their rare failures. We picked up Bauers and McKinney because Judge, Stanton, and Bader were out. All those starters are back now, but somehow all the dumpster relief players are still here, and getting plenty of playing time… and Stanton… is a mess… a DH that seldom hits, living off his reputation… |

The only one they were able to successfully dump is Calhoun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This fan base has gotten a little too toxic:
I'd hate to see them react to a team with the A's record.

As I've said the whole time the most likely scenario is Toronto will still be leading the 3rd wildcard late in the season. There's a chance Seattle could pass them, but outside of their 13-2 run they were 50-50 and not even close to a playoff spot I dunno if they can sustain being up in the spot or not. Anyway..the last 6 games against Toronto is the Yankees chance I don't really expect them to fall much farther than they are right now, because they don't win or lose enough games in a row to really fall "out of it" they've only lost more than 3 in a row once since the LAA sweep roughly a month ago. Since then its been win one, lose one, win one, lose two, etc really not enough to go anywhere in either direction. They were 50-47 3.5 out (4 in loss column) after the angels sweep on July 19th. Now they are 60-58 5.0 out (4 in loss column) on August 13th. They've went 10-11 over the last month or so and are the same number of games behind that they were a month ago in the loss column. Toronto is 13-11 and Boston is 11-10.
So yea no one is lighting the world on fire here and the Jays play the Phillies next so here's probably "another" chance to gain ground. It's frustrating, because if it was one of those years all the other teams were just winning game after game while the Yankees were medicore its like "whatever, Yankees just don't have it", but to see that Toronto had 11 losses and Boston had 10 in the same time frame the Yankees had 11 it's just so many missed chances here.
What I don't get though is the Cubs and Mariners were in similar spots at the trade deadline as the Yankees the Mariners didn't do much and sold their closer, but the Cubs added and seem to be In a good spot, because of it. What I noticed though is 90% of the trades we saw were expensive a lot of top 15 prospects were the cost there wasn't many of those like give away the 200th ranked prospect that no one ever heard of trade. It's fine to hang onto the prospects, but pick a plan for the team if you aren't going to use them as currency then play them. How is staying status quo going to help anything?
It's still very possible Toronto and others play meh enough and the Yankees are 3 back entering that first Toronto series and beat them like they did in May and make the playoffs and then beat the AL Central team, but I just don't understand how the front office is "fine" with the struggle it took just to get to that point. They have so much money and they have some good prospects, but it seems like since 2019 they've gotten into this "the regular season doesn't matter see you in October mode" and if Judge didn't miss 2 months they probably are about 10 wins better and solidly in a playoff spot and not even worrying about this, but thats just not what happened and I feel the Yankees did a bad job of reading the room and when they saw the prices were what they were if they really felt they were "in it" they should have bought something 2 weeks ago.
Regardless what happens this season I dunno if I see major changes. Like I said a full Judge season probably adds 10 to the win total and puts them right about Tampas record. That's not a broken enough team for Hal to make wholesale changes. (Even though he should, but I could easily see him saying Judge's WAR last year was 10.6 and Career WAR 8.2 so add that many wins and they aren't close to out of a playoff spot.)

The Nationals apparently came back from 5 down in the 9th inning to beat the A's. Jeter downs with the winning hit.
