“#Things are looking bad for the Yankees<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n ATLANTA \u2014 You\u2019ve got to hand it to the Yankees. Who else could return to work after an unscheduled five-day break and pick up precisely where they left off?<\/p>\n

Good grief. If this team can\u2019t profess to be in serious peril, not with eight American League teams advancing to October, it sure can inspire a thousand memes of dread. For things continue to go absolutely dreadfully for Aaron Boone\u2019s bunch.<\/p>\n

Of course it wasn\u2019t enough that they suffered a doubleheader sweep at the hands of the Braves Wednesday, 5-1 and 2-1 at Truist Park, extending their losing streak to five game<\/a>s following the respite prompted by the Mets\u2019 COVID scare and bad weather. No, the low point actually occurred at a rare moment in Game 2 when the Yankees were actually winning, when Boone went to home plate umpire Mike Estabrook and alerted him that, as Chad Green jogged in from the bullpen to relieve a near-flawless Masahiro Tanaka, Brett Gardner would enter in left field to replace Clint Frazier, who would slide over to right field to replace \u2026 Aaron Judge.<\/p>\n

Yup, Judge in his first game back in action after yet another stint on the injured list, didn\u2019t even last a full work shift \u2014 in a seven-inning contest! \u2014 before aggravating the right calf injury that placed him on the IL, a placement the outfielder lamented during his inactivity.<\/p>\n

Hence a lightning-quick return to the IL is \u201cpossible,\u201d Boone acknowledged, although the manager said the parties would have a better feel late Wednesday into Thursday.<\/p>\n

Oh, and Green proceeded to serve up a two-run, game-winning homer to Braves stud Freddie Freeman, the cherry on this sundae of doom.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thought we had a pretty good chance to win two games,\u201d Green said. \u201cUnfortunately that didn\u2019t happ<\/a>en.\u201d<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t happen because Game 1 starter Gerrit Cole suffered his first loss in a Yankees uniform and his first regular-season loss since May 22, 2019 as he gave up three homers over the first three innings while receiving minimal run support.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t happen because Game 2 starter, Tanaka, after not permitting a Brave to so much as reach third base through his five innings, requiring only 66 pitches, conceded to Boone that, \u201c[T]he tank was starting to empty a little bit,\u201d Tanaka said through an interpreter. \u201cBasically, I told him, \u2018I\u2019m good with whatever you decide on.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

Well, Tanaka has more than earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his toughness, so you can\u2019t question his heart, and once a manager hears that from his starting pitcher, he really has no choice but to call on his relief corps, all the more so when everyone is rested. And Green has been terrific, and he gave up a two-out infield single to Dansby Swanson before the incredible Freeman worked his magic.<\/p>\n

Nope, the blame \u2014 fully for Game 2, partially for Game 1 \u2014 rests with the offense, which totaled two runs in 14 innings and very well might find itself without Judge once more as DJ LeMahieu, Giancarlo Stanton and Gleyber Torres all rehabilitate their respective ailments. Just brutal.<\/p>\n

\u201cLosing sucks. We don\u2019t like it,\u201d Boone said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to play a little better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following another off day Thursday, the Yankees play five games against the Mets over three days at Yankee Stadium, then welcome back the rival Rays, who got this snowball rolling. If they don\u2019t pick things up \u2014 start hitting, stop getting hurt \u2014 the dread will only intensify as the questions about their October viability smolder.<\/p>\n

Time to not pick up where they left off. The Yankees\u2019 season depends on it.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
