The New York Yankees are digging themselves a hole that may be too big to climb out of. After losing game one to the Houston Astros, they were in need of a win on Thursday. In a closely contested game, the Yankees' pitching unit did well to keep them close. Unfortunately, their offense was once again a no-show. The Yankees lost 3-2 at Minute Maid Park and now trail 2-0 in the series.This was another abysmal offensive performance from the Yankees lineup. The team combined for just four total hits. Aside from a lone double by Josh Donaldson, all of those hits were singles. This has been a frustrating postseason for what was considered one of the most potent offenses during the regular season.ESPN Stats & Info@ESPNStatsInfoThe Yankees offense has now recorded six or fewer hits in nine straight games dating back to the regular season, the longest streak in a single season in franchise history.732142The Yankees offense has now recorded six or fewer hits in nine straight games dating back to the regular season, the longest streak in a single season in franchise history. https://t.co/qiw3GwECQfNew York Yankees fans were left frustrated after another shambolic display. The questions entering the postseason revolved around the Yankees pitching, not their hitting. Established, elite, All-Star level players such as Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson have not turned up. The fanbase turned to Twitter to vent their frustrations.Burnbabyburn@BurnieW51@ESPNStatsInfo Every year the offense disappears in October.

Judge rocketed a shot to center field in the first inning that fell just short of the fence. In the eighth inning, a deep shot from Judge was plucked out of the air by Kyle Tucker to take away a big hit.Your Friendly Neighbor, Gabe Duthy@GabeDuthy@ESPNStatsInfo As a fan who watches every game I can tell you this team is offensively garbage.

They prove it every time they play. The only 2 people who think they're good is Cashman and Boone...Credit needs to be given to Framber Valdez. The Astros pitcher started with a one-two-three inning and never looked back. His deadly curveball had the Yankees hitters off balance throughout the game. Overall, he finished with nine strikeouts and allowed just four hits in seven innings.Nick Goodman@nickgoodman18Framber Valdez just threw the same pitch every single fucking time and the Yankees had absolutely no idea. This team makes me want to get hit by a car.32Framber Valdez just threw the same pitch every single fucking time and the Yankees had absolutely no idea.

I’ve been a season ticket holder since the glory days of 3. (I am NOT A BANDWAGON) and this is the WORST Yankees team I’ve ever seen. I think I’ll be giving my money to Steve Cohen and the New York Mets next season, and I’ll buy THEIR season tickets!@ESPNStatsInfo GOODBYE BRONX!

He has carried the team this season and the Yankees offense relied heavily on him. If Judge leaves, this offense will be completely depleated. It may be time for the organization to take a look at this roster and start bringing in reinforcements in the off-season.
