Boone said he liked the way his team swung the bats in the Blue Jays series, and he hopes it\u2019s a sign \u201cof us kind of really getting it rolling a little bit.\u201d The Yankees have averaged eight stranded runners per game in this stretch. There are two ways to look at it: 1) They are getting plenty of opportunities to score, and it should turn in their favor eventually, or 2) The Yankees not being able to cash in is costing them winnable games.<\/p>\n
Since the start of June, no team has had more at-bats with runners in scoring position than the Yankees, and yet they\u2019ve scored the 18th-most runs. That stat alone can be pointed at when someone asks why the Yankees have blown their seven-game lead<\/a> in the AL East.<\/p>\n However, Boone does not want his team to feel any level of concern for the way it\u2019s played of late.<\/p>\n \u201cFor the most part, I\u2019m looking for unfazed,\u201d Boone said. \u201cI don\u2019t want us to flinch. I want us to come here ready to prepare. We\u2019re preparing to go out there and compete our asses off. I know if we do that well enough over time, we\u2019re going to win.\u201d<\/p>\n Aaron Judge looks on in the ninth. It was the Yankees\u2019 first four-game sweep in Toronto in franchise history. (Mark Blinch \/ Getty Images)<\/p>\n Yankees captain Aaron Judge echoed Boone\u2019s sentiments. Judge said panicking is not going to help their situation, and he still believes that the Yankees are the best team in the league.<\/p>\n \u201cThat doesn\u2019t change no matter the record or what\u2019s happening, no matter if we win 10 in a row or lose 10 in a row,\u201d Judge said. \u201cI\u2019m still gonna believe that.\u201d<\/p>\n The Yankees usually resort to some different phrasings of \u201cthat\u2019s baseball\u201d to describe their poor play. But a deep dive<\/a> into their frequent swoons, posted by a Yankees fan on X, shows what they\u2019re going through isn\u2019t \u201cjust baseball.\u201d Since 2020, there have been 41 other teams that have won at least 90 games in a season. Entering Thursday, only five of those teams had lost 13 of 19 games, and none of those teams had repeat instances of such a lull in other seasons. Yet this is the sixth straight season the Yankees have had a stretch as bad their current run. It\u2019s become inevitable.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2222728799-scaled.jpg\")
