New York Yankees fans at the end of their ropes as team wraps up fourth straight series without a win

The 2022 New York Yankees were a forced to be reckoned with. The leaders in home runs and slugging percentage, there was virtually nobody who stood in the way of the 99-win club.

Unfortunately for fans of the Bronx Bombers, 2023 has not yielded such results. Battered and bruised, the Yankees seem to be cruising from one disaster to another. Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park was no different.

After a Gleyber Torres home run put the Yankees up 2-0 early, starter Clarke Schmidt appeared to have the Sox under control. However, after giving up two RBI ground balls with the bases loaded, Schmidt was pulled. Successive RBI doubles from Connor Wong and Alex Verdugo sealed the deal, and the Yankees lost by a score of 6-3.

With the loss to the Boston Red Sox, the Yankees are now 1-4 against their divisional foes in the last week. The Red Sox met the Yankees for the first time of the season last weekend, grabbing two of three before winning Friday's series opener in Boston 15-5. Needless to say, Yankees fans are not pleased with their team lately.

The loss in this series represents the fourth straight series that the Yankees have failed to win. Coincidentally, their last series win came on June 4, the very same day that captain Aaron Judge was sent to the IL after breaking his toe following a catch against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Without Judge in the lineup, the Yankees are scoring merely half the runs they muster on average with the big man suited up.

@Yankees Looks like the Yankees need to switch from pinstripes to cry-stripes.

Since Judge has been gone, the Yankees offense has fallen off of a cliff. Since June 3, the team's .200 batting average is the lowest in baseball. Big hitters like Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo, expected to step up in Judge's absence, have been on horrid cold snaps. In the month of June, Stanton has gone just 4-for-35 while Rizzo is hitting a meager .081.

Battered by injuries, the New York Yankees need to push forward

If anything, the New York Yankees' nightmarish results without Judge in the lineup might show the team the extent of over-reliance on their captain. By using his absence from the lineup as an opportunity, perhaps the team can at least attempt to stop the bleeding while his toe, and bat, take the necessary time off.
