The idea was that a pennant race would force the Yankees to rise up and play high-quality baseball rather than sleepwalking into the playoffs.
Well, with seven games to go, they sleepwalked:
"Can anybody here play this game?
On a night when so much was on the table for the Yankees, they delivered a miserable performance against a putrid team that started a good pitcher.
Ivan Nova didn’t pitch well. Robinson Cano dropped a relay throw and made a baserunning mistake. Right fielder Ichiro Suzuki botched a ball on the warning track. And the hitters wilted in front of Brandon Morrow."
