With every passing game, the New York Yankees’ season seems to be escaping their control more and more. Even though there are many games left to play in the season, the gap between the Yankees and the top of the AL East is only widening. Most recently, the Yanks experienced a massive defeat against the Minnesota Twins, and the Pinstripes fans were left upset when their beloved captain Aaron Judge addressed the situation as a chess match.
Considering the Yanks are second last in their division, having 13-11 win record, it is quite obvious for fans to express their anger. And after the defeat against the Twins, everyone saw the anger of the Yankees fans on Twitter.
