Facing 0-3 Hole, Yankees Know They Must \'Shock The World\' 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Oct 29, 2024 12:16 pm

The New York Yankees will have to make history if they are going to win their 28th World Series title.

No team has ever overcome a 3-0 series deficit to win the World Series. Only the 2004 Boston Red Sox, facing the Yankees in the ALCS, have completed a comeback from an 0-3 hole.

\"We\'re trying to get a game tomorrow,\" Aaron Boone said after Monday night\'s 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3. \"OK? That\'s where our focus lies. Hopefully we can go be this amazing story and shock the world.\"

The Yankees, the AL leaders in runs scored during the regular season, have scored seven runs in the three games. They\'re 4-for-20 with runners in scoring position. They\'ve left 25 runners on base. 

\"All it takes is one,\" Aaron Judge said. \"All it takes is one swing, one at-bat, one play, and everything changes. That\'s the mindset you got to have.\"

Yes, the Yankees made the WS, but they are clearly not a championship team. This series is a glaring example of that fact.
