Ahead of a must-win Game 4, it’s the Yankees’ underperforming lineup that’s facing the most pressure. If the offence doesn’t turn things around in a hurry, the World Series will be over.
NEW YORK – In the aftermath of his team’s 4-2 win over the New York Yankees Monday night, Dave Roberts didn’t want to go there.
If anyone knows about coming back from 3-0 deficits, it’s Roberts, whose pivotal stolen base in Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS helped spark the Red Sox to a comeback for the ages over the Yankees that year. But two decades later, as the 2024 Yankees try to mount a historic comeback of their own over the Dodgers team Roberts now manages, he wasn’t inclined to spend much time reflecting on what happened in Boston 20 years ago.
“I don’t want to divulge any secrets,” he said. “I just think that we’ve got to stay focused, stay urgent.”
“I just don’t want to let these guys up for air.”
