Yankees Down 0-2 in ALDS as Struggles Extend Beyond Aaron Judge

The New York Yankees are struggling in the 2025 American League Division Series against the Toronto Blue Jays, falling behind 2-0 after a 10-1 loss in Game 1 and a 13-7 defeat in Game 2. Despite Aaron Judge's strong regular season, his postseason performance has been underwhelming, including crucial strikeouts in high-pressure situations, undermining the Yankees' chances. The team's problems extend beyond Judge and manager Aaron Boone, with pitching failures from Luis Gil and the bullpen contributing significantly to their losses. Critics point to fundamental issues with the Yankees' roster and strategy that have persisted for nearly a decade, raising concerns about the organization's ability to perform in critical moments. While the series moves back to New York for Game 3, the team's morale appears shaken, and questions remain about how management will address these shortcomings to avoid another early playoff exit. Overall, the Yankees' postseason struggles highlight a broader pattern of underperformance despite regular-season success.
