The Yankees have drastically underperformed since the end of May, winning only 13 of their last 34 games, and are currently on a six-game losing streak. Their latest match ended in a significant loss to the Mets. Manager Aaron Boone noted that while the offense has started to improve, the pitching has regressed. Over the last week, the Yankees have allowed an average of nine runs per game and committed seven defensive errors. Boone emphasized the emotional toll this stretch has on the team.
It's been a terrible week, Boone said. It's like you're striking the balance between trying to find the good things that are happening, like the offense is starting to swing the bat and put some runs on the board. The pitching, which has carried us a lot this season, has really struggled this week.
The problem is that the pitching allowed an average of nine runs per game, while the Yankees' defense has committed seven errors during that stretch. When you live it, and you're going through it, it sucks, it hurts, Boone said.
