TORONTO — It’s unsure when the “step on necks” portion of the postseason is meant to start for the Yankees, however it positive as heck higher be quickly.
Baseball’s hottest staff coming into the playoffs has turned chilly up north. They don’t seem to be hitting sufficient and barely pitching in any respect, they usually actually aren’t stepping on any necks, as Jazz Chisholm Jr. memorably promised can be the Yankees’ October future.
In actuality, the Yankees, MLB’s marquee franchise and its regular-season leaders in runs and residential runs, are in peril of being ushered out of the playoffs Tuesday following two straight brutal total performances vs. the Blue Jays — Sunday’s 13-7 loss in Recreation 2 the newest. The Bombers return to The Bronx to play Recreation 3 with no room for error at a time they’re again taking part in dangerous baseball.
Issues are trying bleak, to place it mildly, and the Yankees have solely themselves responsible. They’re being completely outplayed by the staff they tied for the highest spot within the American League East. They now want three straight wins over a staff they’ve crushed in solely 5 of 15 matchups in 2025.
