The Yankees are off on Monday before playing the Rays in a critical three-game series. Aaron Judge and Gio Urshela are about to return. Luis Severino is getting closer and Corey Kluber is throwing. The trade deadline is Friday and the Yankees’ roster could be upgraded. With 64 games left, the Yankees have a chance to reset for the final two months of the season with a new manager leading the way. (I’m aware they won’t make a change.)

The Yankees were one out away from winning their fifth straight game overall and their third straight game over the Red Sox and cutting their loss-column deficit in the division to five games. Then everything fell apart, resulting in the Yankees’ worst loss of the season.

The Yankees nearly had their most recent worst loss of the season thanks to their own manager’s bullpen management, but not even Aaron Boone’s ineptitude can get in the way of the run the Makeshift Yankees are on.

The Yankees have won three straight games, and they have done so with a new-look lineup, forced on them by injury and protocol issues. Their new style of play has worked, and they have cut into their division and wild card deficits.

This is it for the Yankees: their last chance. The Yankees have pissed away every opportunity this season to meet expectations and now they are down to their last one with eight of their next 10 games against the Red Sox. Play badly in these 10 games, and their season will be over with still two months to play.

Michael Hurley of CBS Boston joined me to talk about managerial changes since Red Sox fans have seen a lot of them over the last 10 years. The Red Sox have made five managerial changes and have had four managers since the start of the 2011 season. Meanwhile, Yankees fans have only had three managers since the start of the 1996 season. That could and should be four managers since the start of the 1996 season if things don’t change over the next 73 games.
