OT: 2024 NY Yankees Season Thread

I know Smoltz is in love with the Dodgers but to say Soto wasn't running hard is just wrong. He was busting it down the line.

Regardless of whether or not the Yankees win the game or series, Boone has to go. There have been so many blunders this season by him and the players he has to be held accountable. They play shitty D, run the bases like idiots, swing at terrible pitches, etc. because Boone is such a pushover.
 
I don’t even know what to say about Judge at this point. He chooses the game when he finally breaks his hitting slump to drop a little league fly ball?!?!? It doesn’t make any sense. How could he drop that ball?

Blowing a 5-run lead in the biggest game of the season with 3 errors. That's the CASHMAN Yankees. But he knows his analytics. Launch angle and velocity are WAY more important than defense.
 
The NYY, as a team, are mentally weak.
A DIRECT reflection of their manager.

Embarrassing performance tonite.

BTW...there was also no reason to pitch Weaver in game 3 when they were down 4-0. Only threw 6 pitches, but with the bullpen warmup before coming in...probably threw 30 pitches total.
You could see tonite that Weaver is worn out and was overused.

Just so damn stupid.
Boone has to go!

As he throws his third pickoff attempt.

Errors aside tonight, this is not a pennant worthy bullpen Cashman created especially when Weaver is your closer.

They gifted the Dodgers this game... aside from the double, the Dodgers didn't do anything special in the 5th inning. It should have been 5-0 going into the 6th. Later in the game, I'll give LA credit for the deep sac flies, but the rest was a case of playing like absolute crap for about 15 min. And it cost them the series.

I don’t think this Yankee lineup is remotely capable of two sacrifice flies in an inning.

You could EASILY pick out at least 10 manager decisions in this series and ask WTF was that move??

Oh, BTW...without all those blown saves by Holmes this season, they have the better record and home field.
So true. But you could easily pick out more than 10 g.m. decisions that negatively affected the Yanks this season...bigly.
It's nice to be in the World Series though. Too bad the other team was better.

Dear KBee:


Be happy you lost to the Dodgers !

Because your biggest nightmare would have happened with Mets winning the Subway Series had we got thru Dodgers !

I love Mr May - Aaron Judge ! Great glove tonight !

Yankee Elimination Day never gets old !

Juan Soto to Mets ! .
 
Now my tirade

The yankees are the most fundamentally inept team I've ever seen.

None of the hustle down the base paths except for Juan Soto once when it's almost over. Where was that every at bat.

Judge dont know where the **** he was but not of baseball field, forget the dropped pop up. He jogged back on long fly ball to left center that should have been caught and then throws a wounded half ass throw to 3rd base on a midrange tag up from 2nd.

Not one of the outfielders get behind the ball to position for strong throw

Rizzo wtf are you doing

Juan Soto is a trash OF'er. He plays everything into an extra base as he doesnt hustle to get ball ever

Boone should have left Cole in. Take that one inning away and he was overwhelming. You ride that your biggest & toughest horse. He could have gotten thru the 8th inning. His velocity was still at 99 max. He played it safe with Freeman

The yankees needs to invest in players that can hit singles & doubles, hustle & run bases. It's the WS at home do or die and still not hustling
 
Rizzo ASSUMING the pitcher covers the bag, but he had everything in front of him so he could have easily seen what happened with Cole.
Charge the ball and you still have time to stop and field unassisted.
Defense has been a problem ALL year.
Rizzo did not charge and hardly moved toward the bag after fielding it instead of desperately trying to beat Betts.

The entire post-season, Rizzo was like a statue at first base. Typically, from Boone, there was no accountability.

Last night, Boone repeated his game-one error by yanking Holmes too early and having Kahnle start the eighth.

The image of Boone spitting sunflower seeds while the Yankees burned is etched in my brain.

"Perhaps the most technically unsound team to ever get this far."--NY Post; Can't argue with that.

This is a crap you get when CASHMAN worships the analytics tiki idol. Things won't improve until he is fired.
