The failure of the New York Yankees this season has led fans to chronic disappointment. They have already lost the six games of the last eight games this season. Adding insult to the injury, they faced the crushing defeat against the Colorado Rockies today. The consistent subpar performance has led to fans calling the best team as the worst. However, there was a star performer who stood out in the recent game despite the loss.

The performance of the Yankees this season has been one of their worst. They now sit at the second bottom spot of the AL East, just above their rivals, the Boston Red Sox. Their latest 7-8 loss to the Rockies has infuriated the fans, who have lost faith in the team, calling it the ‘worst team in baseball.’?

The New York Yankees have the reputation of being the most successful team in baseball history. They have won 27 World Series titles, making it the most valuable and loved team. But their long-standing reputation is losing its charm due to their failure to perform this season. The recent loss against the Rockies made it to the list of one of the worst losses of the season for Yankees.?

Talkin’ Yanks put up a tweet highlighting the score of today’s game, that read, “Wake up babe, new worst loss of the season just dropped.” Despite the team’s loss, Gerrit Cole stole the spotlight.

Gerrit Cole, who took the mound for the American League during the All-Star Game on Tuesday, recorded 11 strikeouts in his 24th game with double-digit strikeouts. Over the course of six innings, he surrendered only two hits, with his sole run coming from Michael Toglia’s home run in the second inning.

The Yankees’ struggles have intensified since Aaron Judge, the reigning AL MVP, suffered a sprained right big toe on June 3, resulting in a record of 15-19 since then. And baseball and Yankees fans have all the right to show frustration.

Fans Labeled Yankees As the Worst team of Baseball

After losing to the Rockies, disgruntled fans took to Twitter and called out the team for its poor performance. They pointed out that the Yankees differ from the team they once were.

However, many fans also lauded the performance by Gerrit Cole.
