NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees’ players and staff are restless. So are fans.

A 5-10 start, the franchise’s worst in 24 years, has shaken a team that expects to contend for a World Series title.

Cashman accepts the carping — but said it was unacceptable and illegal for fans to throw balls on the field during Friday’s 8-2 loss to Tampa Bay, which caused the game to be stopped for 2 minutes, 15 seconds.

“I don’t care how bad you’ve played, no one has earned having things thrown at them on the field in that one…
