Summary

The Yankees' biggest problem isn't their recent losing streak or a few bad plays, but a deep-seated culture of complacency and a lack of accountability that has been festering for years. Sal argues that this is by design, stemming from the front office's decision to move on from a disciplinarian manager like Joe Girardi in favor of a more "player-friendly" approach with Aaron Boone. He points to repeated on-field blunders, from Austin Wells walking off a base to Jazz Chisholm getting doubled off, as evidence of a team that doesn't face repercussions for its mistakes. Sal believes this systemic issue, where players are coddled and managers are protected, is a direct result of a front office that doesn't feel pressure to win it all, creating a chain reaction of low expectations and sloppy play that permeates the entire organization.

1:24.0	I can see that those are issues. And you could look at the way the Yankees gotten beat or got themselves beaten to a pulp, I should say, by the Marlins over the course
