It wasn’t going to always work out.
Not all the little adaptations the Yankees have had to make at the beginning of this very strange season were going to translate to wins, no matter how well-suited to it they seemed in the first two games of the year.
Though they have those extra two players on the roster, working around a starting pitching staff that isn’t fully stretched out presents some pretty significant challenges. So does a lineup that hasn’t had the time it usually does to prepare for the season. Granted, every team is going through the same thing, it was just that on Sunday, it was the Yankees' turn to feel the pain of it.
