There have been few bigger disappointments in the first half of the MLB season than the New York Yankees. Thought to be a powerhouse in the AL, New York currently finds itself in 4th place just in the American League East.
With plenty of good bats in the lineup that just haven't produced and a decent core of pitching, there's still plenty of time for the Yankees to rebound and make a run.
One big problem recently has been closer Aroldis Chapman. The flame-throwing lefty started his season out in dominant fashion for the Yankees. But, after yielding 4 runs in the 9th inning on June 30th in a blown save and a loss to the Angels while recording just one out, Chapman recorded zero outs in his very next appearance while blowing another save in giving up 3 runs to the Mets. While Chapman took to Twitter to discuss his struggles, he was trolled endlessly for doing so.
Dawg were not asking you to storm Normandy we just need 3 outs https://t.co/2g5NSSRVl6

Chapman got torched for comparing his situation closing out baseball games for the Yankees to that of fighting wars. And predictably so, he was trolled for doing so.
The response from this fan is hilarious and it's pretty point blank. Manager Aaron Boone and the Yankees just need Chapman to get back to closing out the 9th inning in a successful manner like he's done most of his career. Instead, the southpaw has been riding the roller coaster lately.
There are plenty of reasons for the Yankees struggles this year. And recently, another has been added with Aroldis Chapman struggling to close out games for the Bronx Bombers.
