The New York Yankees have lost five straight games and dropped to 60-54 on the season, yet manager Aaron Boone remains confident in his team.
The New York Yankees seemingly reach a new season low with each passing week. Since the All-Star break, the Bronx Bombers have struggled tremendously. Instead of sitting atop the American League East like they were earlier in the season, they entered Wednesday in third place, trailing the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox.
On Tuesday, the Yankees suffered a crushing 2-0 loss at the hands of the Texas Rangers following an incredible performance from Nathan Eovaldi and another blow-up from the Yankees' bullpen.Following the game, manager Aaron Boone was asked about his team during this losing stretch.'I remain confident in this group. But we continue to say that. We got to start making it happen,' Boone said following the Yankees' fifth straight loss.During the interview after the game, Boone seemed to be struggling for answers a bit, and it's hard to blame him. These are seemingly unprecedented times for a very talented Yankees team. Incredible players, like Devin Williams, are weighing the team down, and there's no clear answer for it.Still, Boone echoed his confidence in his team, as he always has. But this message had a bit more urgency, as the Yankees do need to, as Boone put it, 'start making it happen.'With Aaron Judge back in the lineup, hopefully for the rest of the season, the Yankees have all they need to make a postseason push. If they continue to falter, they could fall from World Series contenders to a team that sits on the outside of the postseason looking in.More MLB: MLB Rumors: Red Sox Pushed To Add Former Dodgers 11-Year Veteran
