A Pundit Repents As The Yankee Bandwagon Picks Up Steam
(May 1, 2017 – Source: Elsa/Getty Images North America) |
A key aspect of this rebuilding Yankee team I was looking forward to watching most this season were its dual dimensions of a team playing with nothing to lose coupled with the unexpected contributions that would surely come from a sea change in composition and chemistry.

But it seems like for the most part the veterans have played like the backs of their most collectible baseball cards while the benchers with no cards in their past and likely no place in the team’s future plans have played three feet over their caps and potentially ignited new careers for thmselves.

I sensed that moment may have arrived for this Yankees team Wednesday night shortly after Judge‘s history-making (aren’t they all now?) 13th bomb into the Monument Park netting when Chris Carter awkwardly fought off an inside pitch to bloop an RBI single over the heads of a drawn-in infield and tied the game 6-6.

Chris friggin’ Carter. The $3.5 million home run king they love to hate. The walking whiff who just days ago nobody wanted to replace a kid hitting .100. The Stephen Drew rental for a new generation. Came through with a dying quail that didn’t even reach the outfield grass. And the reaction?

After the game, in an article titled “Blue Jays’ trash may lead to Yankees’ playoff treasure,” the Post’s Ken Davidoff performed a mea culpa and post-mortem on his preseason prediction the Bue Jays would win the AL pennant; then went on to explain the Yankees’s suddenly plausible path to the division title.
Davidoff’s change of heart toward the pinstripes wasn’t the first I’ve seen, but it was the first I’ve seen that acknowledged a legit shot at the division — which got me wondering about something.
More than 100 people have been given the boot at ESPN, but Wulf’s still got his job.
