Well it’s wrong. For the last two seasons practically everyone in their lineup has been prone to prolonged slumps.

Most of the Yankee lineup was injured this year.

I expected they’d hit a wall in the postseason.

That's wrong. The Yankees have more hits, more walks, a higher batting average and they've scored more runs than the Astros in their series. The Astros have one more home run. Add to that the Yankees dominated the Twins.

What wall are you talking about??

Sorry, those are the facts.

This series exposed a few big flaws in the Yankees, for sure. If you had told me going into this series that the following would happen ...

1. The Yankees would win Game 1 with Tanaka outpitching Greinke.

2. They’d face Verlander twice, and beat him in one of those two starts.

3. They face Cole only once, and he’d pitch his worst game in two months.

... I would have sworn the Yankees would win the series in 5 or 6 games. And yet they LOST in 6 games ... which tells you how poorly this team is built for a long run in the playoffs.
