Michael Kay knows the New York Yankees as well as any player who has worn the pinstripes, just like Paul O’Neill, a former Bomber who understands how difficult these moments are when a team is humbled by the Boston Red Sox.
O’Neill said such humiliations happen “Every once in a while, you get embarrassed on the field…” He made the comment as the team was losing 12-1 in the top of the 9th inning, adding, “The Yankees have absolutely fallen apart…”
Meanwhile, upon seeing the Red Sox score two more runs on a home run, Kay said, “It can’t get much worse than this.” After Jazz Chisholm Jr. made the final out of the inning, he delivered a powerful statement: “Quite frankly, the Yankees are getting schooled by the Red Sox…”
The Yankees’ Red Sox Nightmare
This is not just about the first three games of the four-game series between the Yankees and the Red Sox. The Bombers have only managed to win a single game against Boston this year, a disaster that has left even Aaron Judge sending a warning and admitting his frustration.
The criticism from voices like Kay and O’Neill is expected to reach people like Brian Cashman, but they are not the only ones who have spoken out strongly about the team. Despite the struggles, Aaron Boone has confessed that the team still has hope this year, a sign that he continues to trust in the talent of his players.
While losing eight or more games to the Red Sox is not the end of the world for the Yankees, it is painful to see the team lose in this manner, especially at a time of year when the Wild Card race is intensifying.
