After losing two games already, it is not going to be easy for the New York Yankees to make a comeback in the Championship Series. Moreover, to reach the World Series, the Yanks would have to win four out of the remaining five games, which will not be easy, especially considering the powerful Astros strength.

However, when push comes to shove, they are the Yankees. And this is their time to show the world that they’ll push back harder, especially when their backs are against the wall. Analogous to that, Fox analysts, including Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz, Frank Thomas, and Kevin Burkhardt, reflect on the Yankee performances over the first two ALCS games and shed some light on potential improvements.

Fox Pundits believe that the Yanks need to stop making excuses

Notably, the Yankees have suffered against an extremely strong Astros defense and economical pitching. In the first two games, the Pinstripes have been victim to 30 strikeouts, while getting only 8 strikeouts in return.

While it’s understood the Astros are driving the ALCS, A-Rod talked about the part, which he found most concerning about this Yankee setup. And moves to talk about the unnecessary blame game. He said, “The most concerning part is the comments from your manager, or I heard Severino talk about ‘it was a good pitch, 106 off the bat, and Judge was 111. I was terrible in October for most of the time. And I never made an excuse. You have to eat it, and get better.”

A-Rod questioned the former BoSox baseman, David Ortiz, and asked him about the Yankees making excuses. Papi said, “You’re basically making excuses because you’re losing the ball game. When Aaron Judge hit the ball right, you can have a tornado blowing in, and the ball will go out, regardless. They need to start putting the ball in play. They know they’re facing a good pitching staff as the Houston Astros have, and they need to start forgetting about the long ball.”

New York Yankees in 2022

New York Yankees, with 27 World Championship Rings, 40 American League Titles, and 20 East Division Pennants, stand as the most successful major league team across North America. However, their last 13 years inadequately represent the glorious Yankee history.

Notably, the last team the Pinstripes achieved the World Championship ring, or even made a playoff appearance was back in 2009. Since then, their 13-year-long slump has succumbed to a never-ending misery.

However, this year, the Bronx Bombers have looked like a brand new setup. Especially since the resurgence of Aaron Judge. After weathering through an un-Yankee-like August with a straight six series loss, the Yanks have come back strongly. Strong enough to conquer AL East and reach the Championship Series against the Astros.
