Two-time Super Bowl-winning NFL coach Bill Parcells once coined the phrase, “You are what your record says you are.” Apply that wisdom to the Yankees’ record overall this season, 49–40, and the ledger would suggest this is a good, playoff-caliber team. Apply that same logic to the Yankees’ recent play over the last month, and you’d think you were watching one of the worst teams in the sport.
It’s been that bad for the Yankees, who have gone 13–17 since the start of June, an abysmal stretch that coincides with the absence of reigning back-to-back American League MVP Aaron Judge.
