00:00Yankees' bullpen reaches franchise low after implosion.

00:04Yankees fans, pour a stiff drink and try to breathe through it,

00:08because what we just witnessed over the last two nights wasn't just bad baseball.

00:12It was a masterclass in bullpen collapse,

00:15served cold twice in a row with a side of historical futility.

00:19Wednesday night, the Yankees lost 11-1 to the Detroit Tigers.

00:23And if you felt deja vu, that's because it was identical to Tuesday night's disaster,

00:27with the bullpen melting down again.

00:30New York's relievers gave up nine earned runs for the second consecutive night.

00:34This marks the first time in Yankees history that such a nightmare happened in back-to-back games.

00:40You know it's bad when an outfielder takes the mound and is the best of the bunch.

00:44Austin Slater managed to be the only Yankee reliever who didn't give up a run.

00:48It's not like these games were out of hand early, either.

00:51Tuesday was a 2-2 tie through six innings before the bullpen coughed up nine runs in the seventh.

00:57Wednesday mirrored this collapse.

00:58The Tigers came to play, yet this was 2025's team, not the formidable squad of Cabrera's era,

01:05making Yankees relievers seem like struggling double-A call-ups.

01:09Aaron Boone remains optimistic, citing the bullpen's track record and characteristics as reasons for potential resilience.

01:16Boone believes they can regain their form, dismissing the recent performances as outliers.

01:21Maybe the guys who were nails in July can find their groove again.

01:25But let's be real.

01:26When your most effective pitcher is a backup outfielder tossing underhand junk, you've got a problem.

01:33The Yankees face Detroit one last time on Thursday before facing Fenway's Crucible.

01:38The bullpen must find its form immediately.

01:40October doesn't care about excuses, and the Red Sox won't offer easy pitches.
