New York Yankees fans fed up with injuries being used as an excuse for consistent playoff disappointments

The New York Yankees recently held their end-of-season press conference, and fans were disappointed to hear more of the same from General Manager Brian Cashman. Cashman blamed a series of ill-timed injuries for their playoff disappointment.The Yankees' season ended after being swept by the Houston Astros in the American League Championship Series. The Yankees in recent years have been great in the regular season before inevitably falling apart in the postseason. Clearly, something different has to happen if this team wants to win a World Series. Hearing Cashman once again say that injuries were the cause of yet another playoff loss sounds more like an excuse than an explanation to most fans.The comments from Cashman were shared on Twitter by user Michigan Yankees.MichiganYankees@MichiganYankeesBrian Cashman: &quot;This year's squad, we got depleted going into the postseason. We had a lot of injuries.&quot;228Brian Cashman: &quot;This year's squad, we got depleted going into the postseason. We had a lot of injuries.&quot;&quot;This year's squad, we got depleted going into the postseason. We had a lot of injuries,&quot; Cashman said.The Yankees did have to deal with some major injuries, notably to Andrew Benintendi and DJ LeMahieu. Without those two players, the Yankees offense was notably weaker than in the regular season. However, most teams in the MLB were dealing with injuries. This is an excuse that the Yankees have made for years, and their fan base is sick of it.🇮🇹@nygabagoolClassic Cashman excuse twitter.com/michiganyankee…MichiganYankees@MichiganYankeesBrian Cashman: &quot;This year's squad, we got depleted going into the postseason.
