Yankees betting on themselves despite their self-inflicted wounds
NY Post
Before the Yankees boarded their flight from Atlanta to Toronto on Sunday night with what they hoped was some newfound momentum, Aaron Judge called it a “good time to start getting hot.”
Three days later, inside the visiting clubhouse at Rogers Centre on Wednesday night, the only thing hot was the temper of the fan base following a horrific defensive showing that capped off another miserable series against the division-leading Blue Jays.
Still, despite the Yankees’ malaise now stretching back six weeks, during which they have gone 14-21, Judge insisted there were better times and a hot stretch ahead.
“Oh, it’s coming,” the captain said with a grin. “We haven’t hit our hot streak yet, but we’re going to. When it does, watch out.”
But it is hard to take real steps forward when the Yankees keep shooting themselves in the foot.
The closest thing the Yankees have had to a consistent stretch of good baseball recently was their five-game winning streak shortly before the All-Star break. But that was preceded by two six-game losing streaks, and since coming out of the break, they have not put their best foot forward.
