Yankees Get Delivered Brutally Honest Message

Ahead of their series with Atlanta, Craig Carton made honest remarks about the Yankees.
Carton (via WFAN): “I don’t care who they bring up. I don’t care if he’s the second coming of Derek Jeter. I don’t care what lineup they put out there. This is an unwatchable, boring mess. That’s what the New York Yankees are. They have no offense. They don’t score any runs. I don’t want to hear people all day going, did you see the play behind second base? Same exact play Volpe didn’t make a month and a half ago. I don’t care because as good as the kid might be, he fell right into line with the rest of the offense in not scoring runs. The Yankees are an unwatchable mess right now. And unless Judge and Stanton come back and hit the cover off the ball, you’re not winning the division.”
