"Vibes are approaching an all-time low around the New York Yankees right now. That's what happens when you allow a whopping 23 runs across two embarrassing losses to the Toronto Blue Jays to put yourself on the brink of elimination in the ALDS. Just about everything that could go wrong in Toronto did go wrong. The offense no-showed in a winnable spot in Game 1, and then Max Fried laid yet another October egg to end Game 2 almost as soon as it began."
"And for as much negativity surrounds this team right now, the fact remains that the season is not yet over - and now come two straight home games that have the potential to flip all these narratives on their head. Will the Yankees be able to take advantage? Based on how this past weekend went down, absolutely not. But while there's more than ample reason for skepticism, there are also some reasons to believe that a comeback isn't impossible."
The Yankees surrendered 23 runs across two losses to the Toronto Blue Jays and now sit on the brink of elimination in the ALDS. The offense failed in a winnable Game 1, and starter Max Fried collapsed early in Game 2. The Blue Jays outplayed the Yankees in multiple facets over the weekend. Two consecutive home games offer a concrete opportunity to reverse fortunes. Historical precedent shows the Yankees overcame an 0-2 deficit twice, in 2001 and 2017. Recent roster and managerial changes complicate direct comparisons with past comebacks. Despite skepticism, a series comeback remains possible.
