Yankees lament fifth-inning meltdown in World Series finale - ESPN

NEW YORK — All year, right through the American League Championship Series, the New York Yankees overcame a tendency to play sloppy baseball by vanquishing opponents with overwhelming talent.

The metrics calculated — and the eyes figured — that they were the worst baserunning team in the majors during the regular season.

They regularly committed head-scratching defensive miscues. They were not nearly as fundamentally sound as one would expect from a 94-win AL champion.

But the Yankees flaunted superstars. They had Aaron Judge and Juan Soto fueling an offense that banged home runs. They had Gerrit Cole fronting a top-line starting rotation.
