The New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez slams the Yankees management and Aaron Judge for a poor postseason
The Houston Astros have outplayed the New York Yankees in all three games of the ALCS. Given they have already won the first three games, the Dusty Baker-led team is only a win away from clinching their World Series spot.
When talking about the Yankees, they are far from being compared to a balanced side like the Astros. During a pregame show ahead of Game 3, former Yankee Alex Rodriguez criticized the Yankees’ management and players for their poor attitude.
A-Rod also said one can not come up with excuses if they are the ones to blame for their continuous poor outings.

Can the Yankees do the unthinkable?
