"Can't score against worst team in baseball" "This offense is genuinely f****ng diabolical" - New York Yankees fans haunted by team's loss to Oakland Athletics, feel World Series dreams slipping away
The New York Yankees did not start their trip to the West Coast the way they had hoped, splitting the series against the Oakland Athletics. The fourth and final game of the series ended in a resounding 4-1 victory for the Athletics. The Yankees hoped their slump was finally coming to an end, but the Athletics proved them wrong.
The Yankees are one of the top teams in the MLB, with the second-best record in the American League. The Athletics are one of the worst teams in the AL and have the second worst record in the MLB. This series was supposed to be an opportunity for the New York Yankees to get back to their early-season form. Instead, it proved they have a long way to go.
An offense that boasts stars like Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Josh Donaldson should not have this much difficulty scoring.
Two starting pitchers with ERAs over *six*, and the Yankees get one earned run. This offense is genuinely fucking diabolical. twitter.com/Yankees/status…
This is the New York Yankees team that fans are now anxious to watch rather than excited.

At one point, the Yankees seemed locked to battle for the World Series. Now, those dreams seem very far-fetched.

If this team is unable to win a road series against the Oakland Athletics, they will struggle for this entire road trip.
@Yankees Just when I thought the slump ended
The amount of talent the Yankees have makes every loss a disappointment.
Do better. Like, why the fuck are we being subjected to this version of the Yankees? The A’s… the damn A’s. Smh twitter.com/yankees/status…
New York Mets fans were quick to taunt their in-city rivals. A loss to a non-competitive team always drives trash talk.
Imagine not winning a series against the A’s @JustInShoc twitter.com/yankees/status…
Fans in New York are just trying to live their best lives, and the Yankees are making that hard.
how am i supposed to live laugh love in these conditions twitter.com/yankees/status…
To put it nicely, the Yankees lack consistency, which is something they will need to find before the playoffs begin.
How does this team one day go from complete offensive monsters to forgetting how offense works 😒😒😒 twitter.com/yankees/status… https://t.co/qTcNoixiVd
The Oakland Athletics and their fans certainly enjoyed this victory and the effect it had.
What is wrong with the universe. twitter.com/yankees/status…
The upcoming series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels is the next opportunity to build momentum and restore confidence.
Once again, the offense was anemic. Clarke wasn't good, but he wasn't terrible and the bullpen was able to keep them in the game. This offense needs to wake up. We need to go out there and sweep the Angels anything less and at best we'll go 4-3 against these two terrible teams. twitter.com/Yankees/status…
The Oakland Athletics trounced the Yankees and caused many fans to lose faith in their team.
New York Yankees need to refocus after loss to Oakland Athletics
The key to a successful road trip is not letting the losses affect you too much. That, and bringing lots of snacks. If the Yankees dwell on everything that has gone wrong over the past few months, they will not be able to move forward.
If they are able to regain their high level of play while on the West Coast, this trip will be a huge success. If they can't, it will be yet another disappointment.
