1. 2017 proven cheated (yanks were even able to force a game 6 or 7 in the alcs against cheaters when our team wasnt even expected to win 70+ games 2. 2019 also proven cheated 3. 2022 was literally impossible for the yankees to compete in anyway. 2 of our top starters hurt with anotha one of em missing entire 2nd half of szn. benny who was THE impact bat we traded for at deadline gone. frankie who was THE impact pitcher traded for at deadline gone. bader who we traded for at deadline who plays the 2nd most important position in center his szn basically didnt start till the postszn cus hurt. dj one of our top position players gone. hicks starting of gone. mvp of 2022 too hurt to play any gud. stanton one of our top hitters hurt whole szn. carp one of our top hitters gone. oh yea and u know how we have one of the if not the best bullpens in the game with a whole lotta depth. our bullpen was so fcked up half the guys in the bullpen were guys who barely ever seen a major league ballpark. also 2 of our position players who literally played THE most important position in baseball (ss) n a corner outfield were minor leaguers who also barely ever seen a mlb park. so....half our team were guys basically making their mlb debut in the postszn. not only that but astros got rest before the series yankees didnt. not only that but the astros benefited heavily from the home plate umpire that i remind u THE ASTROS got to pick out. u mighta sweeped us but the fact that 3 of those games were winnable by 1-2 runs is REALLY bad on u guys. lmao i was happy with how close it was and my team got sweeped🤣cya again in 2023 with hopefully no cheating scandals or a completely broken team.
