You’re not wrong, but this Yankees team specifically got swept, never led at any point, committed five errors in Game 2, and every bat other than Ben Rice was underwhelming or hurt.

The Yankees have too much talent and money to go out like that with a shoulder shrug.

They showed fight for about 7 innings in game 3 down 0-2.  Then after the overturn they crumpled and started swinging for the fences aka Heroball.

Do they really have "too much talent", though? Their starting pitching, sure. But of position players, they have a grand total of 3 guys with over 2 WAR. You can argue Lombard and Volpe would have gotten at least 2 WAR if they played a full season, and obviously Judge if he played more games, but that's kinda it. I don't really think the Yankees have that much talent outside of the starting pitchers, especially if we don't count Judge who played less than half the season and not at all in the playoffs.

game 1 was a pitchers duel, game 2 was game 2 and they had chances like Belli loaded bases and blew it, game 3 both teams played well, no fan interference who knows maybe it goes out maybe it's caught maybes it's a double. Game was decided by 3 inches, and that's baseball
