@@Gumbocinno it’s the truth, the Yankees aren’t close to being a good team, they’re probably like 5th or 6th best in the American League and 10th overall.
It's not that hard to realise that. I even had the same scouting report coming into the season when they got Juan Soto. You have to keep in mind that they were worst than the Oakland and the Ace was bad and that is taking it lightly that was when Judge was hurt, even when he was back they were still terrible. Basically putting a bandaid as in Juan Soto was not fixing the issue on the team.
The Yankees aren't actually that good, and the dodgers proved that. They struggled against KC, a team clearly rebuilding, and against Cleveland, whose starting rotation is just one big IL.
@@npittswarof2The Yankees are not that good, if the Dodgers were just beating them then we’d have Game 7 tonight, instead the Dodgers literally slapped them around because they knew that if you put the Yankees in a situation where they have to use baseball fundamentals, they are going to absolutely collapse, Game 5 and the Yankees in June and July proved that, if it wasn’t for Baltimore and Boston falling apart after the All Star Game, the Yankees probably would’ve been eliminated from playoff contention
yea because teams that make it to the world series aren't "that good" lmfao yankee are a great team not as good and as the dodgers clearly but no one is the dodgers built a super team but with a little more work the yankees can easily be a serious threat to win the ws. just shut up bruh lmfao
@@wetdrippThe Yankees had a great season and they can possibly build off of this season heavily. They need to make some right moves. Whether it's keeping Soto or letting him go to bring in some good role players. They aren't that far off from winning a title.
I’ll never get tired of seeing Judge drop that ball. He clearly took his eyes off it and looked at first probably thinking he could double off the runner at first
Plus, the "premium" that the Yankees paid Cole to wear pinstripes makes this all so satisfying. The New York Yankees must find a way to immortalize the 5th inning out in Monument Park. They must preserve the memory for future generations of Yankee fans. --- I know that I'll never forget. lol
@@jamesgorman1053 That's true. I'm a Dodger fan,but all the whining, and second guessing, is pretty sad. You didn't see all this tsunami of junk before the internet. You either win or lose and once it's over it's over, but not on the internet.
The delusion that you're better than everyone else simply because you wear pinstripes is a dangerous one. Leads to you thinking you don't need put the work in and work on the fundamentals
Back in the 90s and 2000s, it seemed like every player was good and was a star. This group of Yankees has a few great players and the rest are just average players that nobody would even know who they were if they didn’t play for the yankees.
Bernie Williams, Tino Martinez, Paul O'Neill were NEVER stars. They were average to good players who stuck together. Never an MVP. Not a perennial all star. Just stupidity.
Pretty well said. When I think of the late 90s Yankees, they had a bunch of patient, line drive hitters. They drew a ton of walks and would wear down the pitching staffs of other teams. Sure they could hit a home run, but they didn't predicate their offense around it. Now their offense is more HR or strikeout, all or nothing.... Also, very strong pitching in the rotation and bullpen back then. They were a very workmanlike team with a lot of high character guys.
I’m a 53 year old third generation LAD fan and my father-in-law is a lifelong NYY fan who grew up in the Bronx in the 1940s-1950s. We were both so excited for this series. He was shocked at the NYY performance. It showed not only lack of baseball fundamentals, but extremely poor management decisions by Boone.
The real World Series was the Dodgers versus the Mets. Those games were 100x more exciting than this lackluster WS. The Yankees were good a couple decades ago, and they've been riding that fame ever since, so hopefully this WS completely dismantled that image. Soto is going to go elsewhere because he wants the money and to be a part of a better playing team. The Padres wanted Judge, but he turned them down, so maybe Soto is in their sights now. Judge is wild for signing his current contract that will last until 2031.
All those games were blowouts, how were they more exciting? WS G1 was extra innings walk off, G2 Yankees had based loaded in 9th, G3 Verdugo 2 run HR in 9th made it a 2 run game with top of lineup coming up and G5 was an insane comeback by Dodgers twice. In what world was watching 2 shutouts and all 6 games being decided by 4 or more runs more exciting?
To be fair, had almost anyone from the NL made it to the World Series (Dodgers, Mets, Padres, Phillies, Brewers), they'd have beat the Yankees. The Braves maybe not because they were a literal hospital all season. The Yankees had the luxury of playing the entire AL Central in the playoffs, AKA the same division that picked on the White Sox all season (plus the Yankees have a very good postseason record against the AL Central the past few years). Once they ran into an NL team that knew what they were doing, the Yankees lose.
The Dodgers were also Hospital all year, they lost half their starters. People forget Mookie Betts missed 50 games Freddie also missed time because of his son. And even in the playoffs he was playing on one leg. And they still want it all
The only NL team that can beat the Yankees in the WS is the Dodgers. Yankees are the 2nd best team in the MLB, after the Dodgers. It's just that the dropoff from 1st to 2nd is huge. There's the Dodgers, then everyone else.
@@ST-lb9ttlmfao even the 2 game complete offensively shutout padres would’ve slapped the yankees around in the WS. even the sorry ass mets put up a bigger fight against the dodgers. come on now
@@Michael-lu2tz Hindsight is 20-20. Thing is the Dodgers tore down the Yankee facade. You're saying that after the Dodgers exposed the weaknesses of the Yankees.
EXACTLY, ask your self WHY do they insist on keeping this sensitive fool? In game 3 their was called strike that was so bad it should have been shouted down by Boone and he did nothing. I feel they are actively playing fans for fools and not trying to win.
its funny because the Mets had more clout this year than the Yankees... everyone was talking about the Mets. Plus the new owner is spending like crazy i think they will become the main team NY in the 10years
I’ve always thought the Mets were better. Yankees fans shouldn’t say “They are our little brothers” like no shut up. You are the little brothers now, like after the 90’s you were terrible so you can’t even be talking
@@Bri_games725 fr... the Yankees lost steam after 2000... they won 09 which was gre8 because it was the first year of the new place but other than that year idk what's going on. The Mets yeah we ain't win but we was nowhere near their level of greatness or funding. 2016 and 2024 Mets teams were super fun to watch and I feel like this new owner is serious about making this a good team. He's out spending everyteam beside the Dodgers now. We use to be one of the teams that spend the least just 15 years ago. I feel like in a few years were gonna be one of those teams that good all the time like the Phillies or Brave usually are
Despite the Yankees lack of success what have the Mets done? There are two factors to the Yankees being the "other" New York baseball team. 1. Your team must be more successful than the other one. 2. The other team has to be worse than you. Since 2009, the Yankees last WS win, The Mets are 1151-1176. That's a 49% win percentage. They went to the WS in 2015 and lost 4-1, NLWC in 2016 and 2022 losing 1-0 & 2-1, then the NLCS this year losing 4-2. If we consider making the playoffs a "good season" then the Mets had 4 good seasons out of the last 15. The Yankees were 1321-1007. That's a 57% win percentage. The Yankees went to the WS this year obviously losing 4-1, ALWC in 2015 and 2021 losing 1-0 both times, ALCS in 2010, 2012, 2017, 2019 and 2022 losing 4-2, 4-0, 4-3, 4-2, 4-0, then the ALDS in 2011, 2018, 2020 losing 3-2, 3-1, 3-2. The Yankees made it to the playoffs 11 out of the last 15 years. The most accurate thing to say is that the Yankees are not the most feared team in baseball anymore and are not miles above everyone else. Mets fans will never see things objectively though since they still are the little brother to the Yankees. Why don't you all talk when you've won something.
And not to get too deep into hypotheticals, it’s reasonable to say Ohtani would have continued to tear it up if he hadn’t injured his arm on that slide
As a Yankee fan I really wasn't that confident with this team going into the WS. I knew that they would have to smack a bunch of homers and be solid defensively against a team like LA. And the base running...my lord we need some serious help with that.
They never should have torn down the house, Ruth built. The Red Sox brilliantly kept and renovated Fenway park, not nearly as steeped in historical legend, but, still a warm, genuine direct connection to baseball past. Steinbrenner foolishly destroyed the legend, wrecking the Alamo to build a monument to himself. It's cursed, like dancing on the grave of Ruth himself.
@@BoybDeeDoesn't matter if the old stadium was a dump. It was the stadium where the greatest players made their legacies. Yankee fans love to talk about the teams 27 rings whenever the team gets negative feedback. Well 26 of those rings were won in that stadium. Tearing it down was a disgrace and slap in the face to all the great that built the legacy of the Yankees.
Hal moaning about payroll ..that’s what happens when u inherited the richest sports franchise but can’t do any other business…lucky yr dads son ..700 million a year he’s moaning 😂😂😂Hal is just sellin that Yankee brand ….just make playoffs 💰💰💰💰
@@jameswelch82Judge is a great regular season player and a great friend and supporter in the clubhouse. All around fantastic guy. But I’m just not sure he’s really a leader. In every dugout there’s always that one guy (or two) that will yell at everyone to get their heads in the game and grind them on to focus and play better. I haven’t seen anyone who does that in the Yankees dugout, and they REALLY needed it this World Series
I still think the Mets are baseball version of the Dallas cowboys the Yankees are more like the 49ers they make the final round and can’t capitalize at the end
Yankees divison is one of the best in the leagues lmaoo. And the yankeees had the best record in the league against teams with a winning record. What a casual
The Yankees at least win in the playoffs. Cowboys haven't done literally anything in 30 years, but if the Yankees don't start getting it together they will be the Cowboys of baseball
Cole is the one guy on that team that was getting it done...an error on the field isnt going to keep them from resigning him... that would be a HUGE mistake not resigning Gerrit Cole...Way more than not re-signing Soto
Hi, Yankees fan here. You were right on the money in this entire assessment. I'm thankful I got to see some wonderful championship wins. 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2009. The Yankees today are not the Yankees of yesteryear and I'm just ready to accept they're gonna be stuck at 27 titles for a very long time to come. Maybe a pennant or two but that trophy won't be in the Bronx for a long time.
@@brendanburke9386 With the way Hal runs the business, Cashman looks for players and Boone never holding any of his players accountable. Yeah we're kind of screwed. lol
As long as we keep giving the Steinbrenner and Cashman our money nothing will change, in sports as in anything in life you can only vote with your wallet.
Mets fans kept giving Wilpons their money and he eventually sold to Cohen. Chiefs fans kept stop giving money to their owners before Mahomes got drafted. Royals fans kept giving their money between 1986 and 2014. Eagles fans kept giving their money to their owner a very long time before 2017. Cubs fans kept giving money to their owners from 1909-2015. Red Sox fans kept giving money to their owners from 1919-2003. Knicks fans kept giving their money to James Dolan and they eventually improved. Point I'm trying to make is fans have no control over the outcome and that while a game is pleasure and fun to watch people are usually focused on more important issues. During COVID people said the only way lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and test mandates would go away would be if people stopped complying.
It's not because Jazz isn't a 3rd baseman. Any player could scoop it up no matter what position they play. The Dodgers explicitly talked about how bad Jazz is and proved it correct.
Yankees fan living in Massachusetts here. Love the channel name. I go to Fenway 2-3 times a year just because I love the history, the park, and baseball in general. Also this video is spot on 100% accurate. Something has to change and it’s the overarching mindset they have as club and a business
The Yankees have won 27 World Series championships. They have been in 41 World Series. Way more than any professional sports team in history. But the Yankees dominance is over I think. The Dodgers almost swept the Yankees in the World Series. The Yankees built a power hitting heavy roster but the Dodgers showed that they are the better more rounded team. When Judge's bat went cold 🥶 The Yankees struggled. Without their power trio of Judge Stanton and Soto they are a average team. The Dodgers proved that.
Only reason they didnt get swept is because dodgers literally sacrificed game 4 due no starting pitcher and likely all of their high leverage arms in the pen are spent and need 1 day recovery.
The reason they have so many WS is because there was like 10 teams during the Babe Ruth years lol. In the late 90s-early 00s they were known to sign the best players to build around their core of Jeter, Posada, Mo.
The Yankees used to be able to outspend every team, and basically fielded an All Star team. It's becoming tougher to do that, and the Yankees farm system has had plenty of barren years.
Good assessment about the Yankees. They've been going downhill since 2000 after their 26th World Series Championship. It took them long enough to win in 2009. They almost came close in 2004 in the ALCS against the Red Sox. The Red Sox saw the weaknesses when they were up three games, and each night, they just exploited weakness in the Yankees and won the ALCS. It's a miracle It took them that long to win the World Series in 2009. That's when they had their new Yankee Stadium built. And now, after fifteen years, they are barely scraped by getting to the world series, and they lose. It's a whole thing for them to fix for the time being, that's not going to happen, improving their weaknesses. As for the fans, they are so spoiled by their history and they live with that for so long that even any other team that tries to pretty much improve, they shut that down.I see it each time as a Mets fan. Most of them are so knowledgeable about our failures but , when you point out their failures, they get in denial about it and overly defensive and shut you down. Yankee fans are the Cowboys fans of baseball. Because this entitlement that they feel about the Yankees, sometimes you just have to mock them!! Though that impossible standard of winning the World Series every year was placed upon George Steinbrenner, they have to let that go, but that's not gonna happen. And they will suffer each year, unfortunately.
For those saying volpe had an “easy” double play on that ball don’t know baseball. Play’s taking him to his right, RIGHT toward third where he can secure an out on a good throw. The throw was bad and that’s why the play wasn’t made. But to turn a double play on that ball is incredibly risky.
I didn't think he had a shot at a double play, but there was no need to try to get the lead runner in that situation, and he's right handed so that's an awkward angle to throw to third he had easier plays to make that had a higher chance to get an out. Hindsight is 20/20 not saying he's a bad player or that I could do better, just not the best play imo
Nothing shameful loosing games in world series , but Supporting 04:27 this action is, remember Yankees even initially want to allowed them back in game 5 until MLB intervene .
The narrative that its soto or bust for the Yankees drives me insane. I think the Yankees has so many other problems to deal with that soto shouldn't be an option. One guy isn't gonna change anything. We just saw that in the WS. They need to get a solid foundation first
The ball to first was in cole he should have covered like you are taught since you are 12 to do instead of assuming Rizzo made the right play to ensure that ball doesnt scoot past him knowing cole should be there that was 100% on cole
Why? You dummies keep paying these high prices for tickets and concessions! And just complain! While Cashman and Hal laugh all the way to the Bank vault! From your hard earned money! SMH
I really liked your analysis, we Yankee fans really live in a bubble, thinking that we are an elite team, and maybe in reality we are not, maybe we never were, maybe we are a result of good marketing. In short, the important thing is to enjoy this beautiful sport that is baseball.
You are still an elite franchise with an elite market, fanbase and brand for sure, but rn the team just isn’t as special as it was in the early 2000s, and neither are my Red Sox too, we gotta get back to our rivalry glory
I don't like the Yankees at all, never have, but whatever is said they still got to the show and were beaten by the best team in baseball this year. I wish they wouldn't but they still find a way of getting there. Any obituary on the Yankees is premature.
15:43 What I think is even more messed up is that people CHEERED when Mookie Betts was assaulted. If you know Jomboy Media (every baseball channel should tbh), he and his crew actively laughed and said "that's fuckin awesome" when it happened live, and then covered it up and censored people that called them out. Frankly, actively cheering on someone ASSAULTING a player and then trying to cover it up is even more reprehensible than the fans who attacked the dude, because let's be real, there's always dickheads in every fanbase. ENCOURAGING those dickheads is messed up beyond belief.
Good video. It’s far beyond time someone said these things out loud. The data of Yankee specialness ended when Steinbrenner Sr. was no longer in control on the team.
There are a lot of thieves in the Bronx Zoo. Ask Betts; he was a victim. These animals often work in pairs. One holds you down while the other one robs you.🤣
I hope this ain’t an LA guy talking trash about Yankees fans after yall lit ya own busses on fire, assaulted random innocent fans, and blew your hands off with fireworks.
Yankee fans forget steroid gate, the 96-2000 team steroids cheating scandal, 26 players testing positive for anabolic steroids, Andy Petttit admitting on the stand in court Roger Clemons, Jason Giambi, himself and 23 other players routinely relied on steroids, shooting up right in the locker room, the New York Post famously demanding the Yankees give back those trophies, calling it blatant cheating, tainted glory, a fraud on every other team who played fair, including all past Yankees greats. Derek Jetter was one of the few cleared, testing negative.
People have kept harassing me as a Red Sox fan living in NY that “YANKEES ARE GONNA WIN!” I was the ONLY PERSON rooting for the dodgers. I finally, for once, proved them wrong.
The Yankees overachieved this year. Their baserunning and defense are awful. They strike out too much, and their starting pitching and bullpen are mediocre. They're all about hitting home runs. Feast or famine team.
Yankees fan here realisticly the whole playoffs was not a real path to a world series are we were exposed altough Ohtani and betts and most of the dodgers hitting was not that good it is polar opposite compared to 2017 when we acually hustled and played good complementary baseball.
In 2017 the Yankees scored three runs in four games at Houston during the ALCS. Garbage cans or whatever excuse you or guys like Cashman want to use about the Astros cheating didn't cause the Yankees' offense to be that anemic. THREE RUNS in FOUR games! You're not going to win jack squat doing that. This 2024 team was a much better overall team. Better line-up. Better pitching. Neither the 2017 Yankees team nor the 2024 team really had good fielding or base running fundamentals. That's all been a problem for the Yankees for quite some time.
@@rebelpunk13 So did Ohtani: He rescued his team from being swept by the Padres with his 3-run homer. He also had a great NLCS performance, boasting a 1.184 OPS, a .364 batting average, leading with 9 runs, and impressively reaching base 17 times. With an astounding .818 average with RISP. Not to mention, in game 1 of the World Series, he made a clutch double that tied the game 2-2 in the 8th inning, setting up Freddie's grand slam that crushed the Yankees' spirit. But of course, let’s conveniently ignore Ohtani getting injured in game 2 with a shoulder dislocation and mindlessly parrot "Ohtani did nothing in the postseason DURRR".
@@IcecreamforcrowtooAnd the Astros also hardly scored any runs. Forgetting how many of those games were close aren’t you? Probably helps stealing signs and winning one run games don’t you think.
@@Ryan-cb1ei I'm not. But the Astros were not even CLOSE to as anemic as the Yankees. Games six and seven weren't exactly close. Crying about Houston not scoring a ton either doesn't take away from my point at all. You're not winning jack squat if you score three runs in four games. But if you want to get into "cheating," Houston's whole system (which there is no confirmation it was ever used in the postseason in 2017) all came from Beltran who had come from the Yankees' organization the previous year. And the Yankees are an organization that has been confirmed at this point to have engaged in electronic sign stealing. So keep crying. Also, Houston had a higher team OPS ON THE ROAD in 2017 than they did at home. Look it up. It's verifiable on Baseball Reference. The idea that the Yankees had anything taken from them in 2017 is a pathetic loser's kind of excuse at this point. They have had chance after chance after chance after chance over the past eight years. And they keep blowing it. The Yankees had a better team this year in 2024 than they did in 2017 (by a long shot) and everyone can see the 2024 team was not championship material and probably even lucky to get to the World Series in the first place. The banged-up Dodgers (whose best player was injured to the point of being a non-factor) used forty pitchers this year and a decimated pitching staff made fools of the Yankees. And this was a Yankees team that was superior in almost every measurable way to the 2017 Yankees. It's one thing to sort of question Houston's championship in 2017 (even though basically every playoff team that year had an electronic sign stealing scheme according to an actual player interviewed on the subject - Lukas Giolito), it's another thing altogether to cry and whine like Cashman and SOME Yankees fans and just pretend that a championship was taken from them. What an assumption to make, lol! Yeah, and I thought Judge would have caught that flyball my grandmother could have caught with her glasses off, too! But what a convenient narrative to turn to in order to excuse a legacy of failure. That a team clearly better in 2017 'cheated' you out of a title. The Yankees had two more chances against Houston (in 2019 and 2022) and still got their butts handed to them. Judge is a perennial playoff pumpkin while many players on the Astros (even outside of 2017) have shown themselves to be able to rise to the occasion in October. What's Judge's postseason average again? I mean, at some point speculating about 2017 when you've had many chances in the following years just becomes sour grapes and loser talk. Dodgers fans have a much better claim to any title in 2017 than Yankees fans and even they're sort of begging some questions. But to the Dodgers' credit as an organization, they've at least won two titles since 2017 to reinforce their championship pedigree while the Astros went to seven straight ALCS match-ups and won another title, themselves. The Yankees meanwhile just embarrass themselves even when they make the big dance. That makes all this noise that they 'should' have been the champs in 2017 seem very risible to people who can weigh all this stuff and who aren't simply Yankees homers or Brian Cashman.
Nestor got a wakeup call when he threw that first pitch fastball down the pipe to Freddie 😂 The Dodgers are enjoying their lives and the Yankees players can keep on wishing people are jealous of their success
Yea and if games 1 & 5 had gone ever so slightly differently, the Yankees would've gone into a game 6 at 3-2. You can play the what-if game a lot of different ways. What happened happened.
I felt the series was fairly close but the Yankees only won the giveaway bullpen game. They could have easily won one of the first two games in LA, but their bullpen ran out of arms in game 1, and their lineup fell short in their comeback in game 2. In game 3, they didn’t have much of a chance but made it close. Game 5 was a textbook example of how not to close out a game. The umpire even gave them a free run when he didn’t call strike three twice on Judge in the 6th.
RFer in CF 2bman at 3b Bad 2b defense with Gleyber Overall terrible fundamentals Could have called up Dominguez 2-3 weeks earlier to practice left field, but no.
Isn’t it peculiar when Freddie rolled his ankle and couldn’t buy a hit throughout the NLCS, guess what we heard? Absolute silence. No cries of "Oh, Freddie is a complete flop for not showing up!" Nope, instead he was serenaded with soothing whispers of empathy and understanding. Yet here comes Ohtani, the unsung hero of game 1 of the World Series, who snagged a clutch double in the 8th inning, setting the stage for Freddie’s memorable walk-off that basically won the Dodgers the WS. And then, oh no-a shoulder dislocation in game 2, leaving Ohtani one-handed. Suddenly, a guy playing with what amounts to a mechanical arm is supposed to knock it out of the park? Well, color me amazed. Apparently, "shoulder dislocation" actually means "you must perform superhuman feats without complaint" in whatever parallel universe these causals reside. So now, despite heroically saving the Dodgers from getting swept by the Padres with his clutch 3-run homer, having an outstanding NLCS performance with a 1.184 OPS, .364 average, .818 with RISP, leading with 9 runs, reaching the bases 17 times, and massively contributing to game 1 of the WS with his series-changing clutch double, Ohtani is now put on trial by the armchair critics, branded as a "postseason choker". Remarkable! Who knew injuries qualify as failures when you’re not Freddie? Our dear Freddie, however, gets a lovely exemption from expectations when injured but Ohtani? Oh, spare us the details about swinging with one arm, he just needs to put on a show, right? Their logic is baffling.
@@ZR_1121 Yeah not like he saved the Dodgers from getting swept with clutch 3-run homer and after that continued with his clutch RISP every time his team really needed him. Everyone was talking about how he got a hit every time there was a RISP.
@@ZR_1121 But not surprising that you’re another casual who actually believes Ohtani folded in this postseason like your beloved overrated postseason choker, Erron Juice.
@@ZR_1121 So Ohtani heroically saving the Dodgers from getting swept by the Padres with his clutch 3-run homer, having an outstanding NLCS performance with a 1.184 OPS, .364 average, .818 with RISP, leading with 9 runs, reaching the bases 17 times, and massively contributing to game 1 of the WS with his series-changing clutch double that lead to Freddie’s walk-off, actually means Ohtani choked in the postseason?? Stick to basketball or something. You clearly don’t know anything about baseball. Btw, your beloved Mookie choked 2 straight years in the postseason before Ohtani arrived and shifted the pressure away from him. Your shitty Red Sox are chokers who can’t even make the playoffs hahahaha.
$300M for fundamentally bad baseball screams for a GM firing and an Orioles-style rebuild. They stink. And being the "next Jeter" is dubious praise, as he could neither hit nor field. Fire Cashman at the very least. Building bad fundamentals into your minor leaguers means you'll always lose. Get over yourselves.
As a Yankee fan, I've been saying it for years, Aaron Boone is the worst manager of all time. When you're a fan of the team, you see these kinds of mind boggling mistakes that he makes nearly every game in the regular season. He's just an absolute clown. Sometimes it honestly feels like he's trying to throw games or something. And with him being the manager for all these years, it's not hard to see why the Yankees are failing. Get rid of Boone, get back to greatness. Otherwise, I'm convinced his management is so atrocious that the team actually can't be successful.
What the LA Dodgers scouting report said and it proved to be correct. They had no fundamentals and when fundamentals came into play, the Yankees crapped the bed. The Dodgers have the talent since they paid for it. You still have to go out and win when it matters which LA did.
Aaron Judge is embarrassingly inept and a total failure in the pro season. He is as hated as A-Rod was and will be mercilessly booed in New York forever. Trade that imposter. He is Mr regular season and doesn't play in playoffs he takes vacation at that time of the year.
@@jlewis7221 most popular for being a choke artist, dropping a routine fly ball, and completely disappearing in October every single postseason appearance lol.
Great video! I agree with everything but one point. As a Dodgers fan born in the early 90s who went all of his 20s without seeing a WS victory you NEED to keep that “World Series” or bust attitude. It helps keep pressure on ownership and the team. Nothing wrong with having that high standard! Even during the McCourt years I kept that mindset. Just one man’s opinion about another legendary big market team.
As a Red Sox fan, I'm still feeling good about the 2021 wildcard game. And the 2018 division series. And winning the most World Series this century - with four different core teams spaced generously over a 15 year span. I'd be ok waiting another +10 years without a WS as long as the Yankees also lose.
Red Sox 8-1 in their last 9 playoff games against the Yankees dating back to 2004 including 3 series wins in that time. So no, Yankees currently do not own Boston whatsoever
People act like the yankees have always won the World Series. They won a bunch when there were like 12 teams then sucked for the late 60's early 70's then won nothing between 78 and 96. Everyone remembers their late 90's run and think oh yeah they always win, but that dynasty was 25 years ago. Since free agency began and they stopped robbing every player from the Kansas City A's, the Yankees win about every 15 years. They just happened to do it in bunches. Also the Yankees used to be able to buy out of their mistakes but with the new luxury tax things are very different. The Yankees were the only team to vote against it, I wonder why.
The Yankees are a fundamentally flawed team and have been for quite some time this is a systemic problem within the organization and I don't see it changing anytime soon... sloppy base running ,sloppy defense, idiotic coaching, managing klusterfuks..... the entire infield and Outfield is out of sync and they look so unprofessional.... they collapsed like a house of cards in spectacular fashion!!,,, an epic meltdown for the ages....
Another critique I have with this video is? The Mets have more wins against the Dodgers, the Dodgers and Mets both play in National League, so of course, the Mets are going to have more wins against the Dodgers as they play them more often.
The the opposing team's scouting report tells them to "make the yankees play fundamental baseball... they'll inflict self harm" that should tell you all you need to know about how little the Yankees are built to win a ring
Judge looked away at the last minute to check the runner at 1st. Volpe looked like he was squaring up to throw to 2nd but was probably told to go to 3rd. Betts had a similar play on his first AB but he hit it slower and with less spin. Rizzo AND Cole were fooled by the faster and crazier spin on the second one which left Rizzo doubling back to field the ball which left no chance for a 3U play and Cole mistakenly gave up. The pitcher HAS to run to first and let the 1B call HIM off.

@truebrewjones108 oh no the doyers have to pay the best player on the planet after already winning a ring in his first year😂 you sound salty af, have fun with error judge
There’s organizational rot happening right now with the Yankees. Too many entrenched people, legacy hires, and people largely not qualified to perform their job professionally. I see this in the federal government space a lot. The only fix possible is to burn it down, top to bottom, and hire qualified people. Aaron Boone? Cashman? That’s the best you guys can do? Until you make this change, is very little chance short of spending.
I am a dodgers fan. Even if Steinbrenner were alive this team would be the same failure. The Yankees were only a good team back then because they paid for talent but they haven’t changed their approach at all to baseball. Dodgers and many, many teams have changed their approach and strategy with new technology, I believe wholeheartedly that had this technology existed before and an electronic strike zone had been established back in the early 30s-40s the Yankees would not have 27 rings, let alone 10. The game of baseball this season proved it’s more competitive than it’s ever been and I don’t care if grandpa thinks it’s a travesty to see this teams issues, problem is that they’ve always had these holes and problems, just teams now have the opportunity to see past the smoke and mirrors that wasn’t available before.
You're so wrong about the Yankees. The 90s team was before Cashman. Built by Gene "Stick" Michael with all around quality players. Cashman has turned them into an undisciplined home run derby squad. Fun fact: 1998 Yankees, considered the best of them, did not have the highest payroll in baseball. Research what you say
The Dodgers wanted it more...period. That vaunted, self instilled Yankee's sense of entitlement was always a growing debt, a yearly deficit that would inevitably come due. Arrogance demands due diligence to sustain it. It created the eventual A Rod legacy. Sympathy?... Forget about it.
The Dodgers scouting report on the Yankees was absolutely fucking brutal.
And 100% correct. I love it!
@@Gumbocinno it’s the truth, the Yankees aren’t close to being a good team, they’re probably like 5th or 6th best in the American League and 10th overall.
It's not that hard to realise that. I even had the same scouting report coming into the season when they got Juan Soto. You have to keep in mind that they were worst than the Oakland and the Ace was bad and that is taking it lightly that was when Judge was hurt, even when he was back they were still terrible. Basically putting a bandaid as in Juan Soto was not fixing the issue on the team.
@@fridaysatjons1097they won thr ALCS. Making them the best team in the AL
@@StylistecS they’re about as bad as the marlins or the Oakland Athletics, they got to the World Series due to facing 2 AL Central Teams
The Yankees aren't actually that good, and the dodgers proved that. They struggled against KC, a team clearly rebuilding, and against Cleveland, whose starting rotation is just one big IL.
They had 94 wins. They were a good team. The dodgers just beat them.
@@npittswarof2The Yankees are not that good, if the Dodgers were just beating them then we’d have Game 7 tonight, instead the Dodgers literally slapped them around because they knew that if you put the Yankees in a situation where they have to use baseball fundamentals, they are going to absolutely collapse, Game 5 and the Yankees in June and July proved that, if it wasn’t for Baltimore and Boston falling apart after the All Star Game, the Yankees probably would’ve been eliminated from playoff contention
yea because teams that make it to the world series aren't "that good" lmfao yankee are a great team not as good and as the dodgers clearly but no one is the dodgers built a super team but with a little more work the yankees can easily be a serious threat to win the ws. just shut up bruh lmfao
@@npittswarof2The Yankees won 94 games because the entire AL is very weak compared to the NL right now and it showed in the postseason.
@@wetdrippThe Yankees had a great season and they can possibly build off of this season heavily. They need to make some right moves. Whether it's keeping Soto or letting him go to bring in some good role players. They aren't that far off from winning a title.
I’ll never get tired of seeing Judge drop that ball. He clearly took his eyes off it and looked at first probably thinking he could double off the runner at first
Plus, the "premium" that the Yankees paid Cole to wear pinstripes makes this all so satisfying. The New York Yankees must find a way to immortalize the 5th inning out in Monument Park. They must preserve the memory for future generations of Yankee fans. --- I know that I'll never forget. lol
Especially with a 5-0 lead, that was moronic.
Being a Yankee hater is pathetic it’s the same thing as hating millionaires because your working at McDonalds
@@jamesgorman1053 That's true. I'm a Dodger fan,but all the whining, and second guessing, is pretty sad. You didn't see all this tsunami of junk before the internet. You either win or lose and once it's over it's over, but not on the internet.

The delusion that you're better than everyone else simply because you wear pinstripes is a dangerous one. Leads to you thinking you don't need put the work in and work on the fundamentals
Back in the 90s and 2000s, it seemed like every player was good and was a star. This group of Yankees has a few great players and the rest are just average players that nobody would even know who they were if they didn’t play for the yankees.
Correct, and because they can’t get every star they get expose d
@@peskytalkJazz was know before was trevino
I miss those teams in the 90s and 2000s .
Bernie Williams, Tino Martinez, Paul O'Neill were NEVER stars. They were average to good players who stuck together. Never an MVP. Not a perennial all star. Just stupidity.
Pretty well said. When I think of the late 90s Yankees, they had a bunch of patient, line drive hitters. They drew a ton of walks and would wear down the pitching staffs of other teams. Sure they could hit a home run, but they didn't predicate their offense around it. Now their offense is more HR or strikeout, all or nothing.... Also, very strong pitching in the rotation and bullpen back then. They were a very workmanlike team with a lot of high character guys.
The Yankees are wildly overrated. They forgot that the 90s ended, and they haven't done anything in a decade and a half.
04 broke them
They just made it to the World Series, champ. To say they haven’t done anything is infantile!!

I’m a 53 year old third generation LAD fan and my father-in-law is a lifelong NYY fan who grew up in the Bronx in the 1940s-1950s. We were both so excited for this series. He was shocked at the NYY performance. It showed not only lack of baseball fundamentals, but extremely poor management decisions by Boone.
For all the angst about the 5th inning disaster, this series was already over. The Dodgers were clearly the superior team.

I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT
Thats called being in a STATE of "DELUSIONAL DENIAL"...😅😅😅
Oh, Jazz... You don't get "lucky" by almost getting swept in the world series.
Forgot to mention that game 4, they were up against a bullpen game in which most of the pitchers used were the lower leverage usage guys.
Um
What?? Bro the dodgers played the padres. That was hell. Playing the Ny teams felt like relief .
The real World Series was the Dodgers versus the Mets. Those games were 100x more exciting than this lackluster WS. The Yankees were good a couple decades ago, and they've been riding that fame ever since, so hopefully this WS completely dismantled that image. Soto is going to go elsewhere because he wants the money and to be a part of a better playing team. The Padres wanted Judge, but he turned them down, so maybe Soto is in their sights now. Judge is wild for signing his current contract that will last until 2031.
All those games were blowouts, how were they more exciting? WS G1 was extra innings walk off, G2 Yankees had based loaded in 9th, G3 Verdugo 2 run HR in 9th made it a 2 run game with top of lineup coming up and G5 was an insane comeback by Dodgers twice. In what world was watching 2 shutouts and all 6 games being decided by 4 or more runs more exciting?
Nope it was padres/dodgers . That’s how I knew dodgers had it under wraps as long as pitching wasn’t horrific
@@chrismofo1dodgers path to the World Series was brutal.
This! Kinda glad the giants didn't land judge now 😂
@@superbob24 Because every NL team would have beat the Yankees
To be fair, had almost anyone from the NL made it to the World Series (Dodgers, Mets, Padres, Phillies, Brewers), they'd have beat the Yankees. The Braves maybe not because they were a literal hospital all season.
The Yankees had the luxury of playing the entire AL Central in the playoffs, AKA the same division that picked on the White Sox all season (plus the Yankees have a very good postseason record against the AL Central the past few years).
Once they ran into an NL team that knew what they were doing, the Yankees lose.
The Dodgers were also Hospital all year, they lost half their starters. People forget Mookie Betts missed 50 games Freddie also missed time because of his son. And even in the playoffs he was playing on one leg. And they still want it all
The only NL team that can beat the Yankees in the WS is the Dodgers. Yankees are the 2nd best team in the MLB, after the Dodgers. It's just that the dropoff from 1st to 2nd is huge. There's the Dodgers, then everyone else.

I feel like in a few years were gonna be one of those teams that good all the time like the Phillies or Brave usually are
Despite the Yankees lack of success what have the Mets done? There are two factors to the Yankees being the "other" New York baseball team. 1. Your team must be more successful than the other one. 2. The other team has to be worse than you.
Since 2009, the Yankees last WS win, The Mets are 1151-1176. That's a 49% win percentage. They went to the WS in 2015 and lost 4-1, NLWC in 2016 and 2022 losing 1-0 & 2-1, then the NLCS this year losing 4-2. If we consider making the playoffs a "good season" then the Mets had 4 good seasons out of the last 15.
The Yankees were 1321-1007. That's a 57% win percentage. The Yankees went to the WS this year obviously losing 4-1, ALWC in 2015 and 2021 losing 1-0 both times, ALCS in 2010, 2012, 2017, 2019 and 2022 losing 4-2, 4-0, 4-3, 4-2, 4-0, then the ALDS in 2011, 2018, 2020 losing 3-2, 3-1, 3-2. The Yankees made it to the playoffs 11 out of the last 15 years.
The most accurate thing to say is that the Yankees are not the most feared team in baseball anymore and are not miles above everyone else. Mets fans will never see things objectively though since they still are the little brother to the Yankees. Why don't you all talk when you've won something.
“You’re not gods gift to planet earth anymore…” That is so true!
They were never a gift! The Red Sox was!
You lost me at “Hal Stennenbreiner”
It’s a meme he was joking
Dodgers were just too deep. Ohtani goes 2-17 and Betts abd Freeman pick up the slack.
And not to get too deep into hypotheticals, it’s reasonable to say Ohtani would have continued to tear it up if he hadn’t injured his arm on that slide
As a Yankee fan I really wasn't that confident with this team going into the WS. I knew that they would have to smack a bunch of homers and be solid defensively against a team like LA. And the base running...my lord we need some serious help with that.
As a Yankees fan the front office needs to watch this video and take notes because this is 100% true
The Yankees really were something...last century.
😂
FR THOUGH!
They never should have torn down the house, Ruth built. The Red Sox brilliantly kept and renovated Fenway park, not nearly as steeped in historical legend, but, still a warm, genuine direct connection to baseball past. Steinbrenner foolishly destroyed the legend, wrecking the Alamo to build a monument to himself. It's cursed, like dancing on the grave of Ruth himself.

@@jameswelch82Judge is a great regular season player and a great friend and supporter in the clubhouse. All around fantastic guy. But I’m just not sure he’s really a leader.

I haven’t seen anyone who does that in the Yankees dugout, and they REALLY needed it this World Series
So basically the Yankees are baseball version of the Dallas cowboys. Weak conference beat weak but struggle against the best team.

Hi, Yankees fan here. You were right on the money in this entire assessment. I'm thankful I got to see some wonderful championship wins. 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2009. The Yankees today are not the Yankees of yesteryear and I'm just ready to accept they're gonna be stuck at 27 titles for a very long time to come. Maybe a pennant or two but that trophy won't be in the Bronx for a long time.
Unless they fix their fundamentals and change the way players are brought up and taught to play the game, that is the only way they win.
@@brendanburke9386 With the way Hal runs the business, Cashman looks for players and Boone never holding any of his players accountable. Yeah we're kind of screwed. lol
As long as we keep giving the Steinbrenner and Cashman our money nothing will change, in sports as in anything in life you can only vote with your wallet.
Mets fans kept giving Wilpons their money and he eventually sold to Cohen. Chiefs fans kept stop giving money to their owners before Mahomes got drafted. Royals fans kept giving their money between 1986 and 2014. Eagles fans kept giving their money to their owner a very long time before 2017. Cubs fans kept giving money to their owners from 1909-2015. Red Sox fans kept giving money to their owners from 1919-2003. Knicks fans kept giving their money to James Dolan and they eventually improved. Point I'm trying to make is fans have no control over the outcome and that while a game is pleasure and fun to watch people are usually focused on more important issues. During COVID people said the only way lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and test mandates would go away would be if people stopped complying.
It's not because Jazz isn't a 3rd baseman. Any player could scoop it up no matter what position they play. The Dodgers explicitly talked about how bad Jazz is and proved it correct.
And he can't hit for shite. Staring at a homerun when you're hitting under .200 is a tad bit immature.
@chazzx1018 💯 one of the worst hitters on the tram
Yankees fan living in Massachusetts here. Love the channel name. I go to Fenway 2-3 times a year just because I love the history, the park, and baseball in general. Also this video is spot on 100% accurate. Something has to change and it’s the overarching mindset they have as club and a business
The Yankees have won 27 World Series championships. They have been in 41 World Series. Way more than any professional sports team in history. But the Yankees dominance is over I think. The Dodgers almost swept the Yankees in the World Series. The Yankees built a power hitting heavy roster but the Dodgers showed that they are the better more rounded team. When Judge's bat went cold 🥶 The Yankees struggled. Without their power trio of Judge Stanton and Soto they are a average team. The Dodgers proved that.
Only reason they didnt get swept is because dodgers literally sacrificed game 4 due no starting pitcher and likely all of their high leverage arms in the pen are spent and need 1 day recovery.
The reason they have so many WS is because there was like 10 teams during the Babe Ruth years lol. In the late 90s-early 00s they were known to sign the best players to build around their core of Jeter, Posada, Mo.
The dodgers are poised for a dyansty they might go to a similar run to a Yankee mystique In the 90s
The Yankees used to be able to outspend every team, and basically fielded an All Star team. It's becoming tougher to do that, and the Yankees farm system has had plenty of barren years.
Funny the 2009 Yankees is seemingly looking like the 1918 Red Sox.
The saddest part about this fiasco is a poor legacy of players. The Yankees pay for players but never win
They spend on had players like Josh Donaldson, IKF and Joey gallo

They still try to rely on a dynasty from 50+ years ago.....
Embarrassing for quite awhile...
Good assessment about the Yankees. They've been going downhill since 2000 after their 26th World Series Championship. It took them long enough to win in 2009. They almost came close in 2004 in the ALCS against the Red Sox. The Red Sox saw the weaknesses when they were up three games, and each night, they just exploited weakness in the Yankees and won the ALCS. It's a miracle It took them that long to win the World Series in 2009. That's when they had their new Yankee Stadium built. And now, after fifteen years, they are barely scraped by getting to the world series, and they lose. It's a whole thing for them to fix for the time being, that's not going to happen, improving their weaknesses.
As for the fans, they are so spoiled by their history and they live with that for so long that even any other team that tries to pretty much improve, they shut that down.I see it each time as a Mets fan. Most of them are so knowledgeable about our failures but , when you point out their failures, they get in denial about it and overly defensive and shut you down. Yankee fans are the Cowboys fans of baseball. Because this entitlement that they feel about the Yankees, sometimes you just have to mock them!! Though that impossible standard of winning the World Series every year was placed upon George Steinbrenner, they have to let that go, but that's not gonna happen.
And they will suffer each year, unfortunately.
For those saying volpe had an “easy” double play on that ball don’t know baseball. Play’s taking him to his right, RIGHT toward third where he can secure an out on a good throw. The throw was bad and that’s why the play wasn’t made. But to turn a double play on that ball is incredibly risky.
I mean it’s not mlb the show
Probably would’ve never been a double play, but the force at second was easier than the force at third imo
I didn't think he had a shot at a double play, but there was no need to try to get the lead runner in that situation, and he's right handed so that's an awkward angle to throw to third he had easier plays to make that had a higher chance to get an out. Hindsight is 20/20 not saying he's a bad player or that I could do better, just not the best play imo
and u know baseball huh son?
@ not gonna argue with a dude calling me “son” and yes I sure do
Nothing shameful loosing games in world series , but Supporting 04:27 this action is, remember Yankees even initially want to allowed them back in game 5 until MLB intervene .
Absolutely
They’re not looters, remember that.
The narrative that its soto or bust for the Yankees drives me insane. I think the Yankees has so many other problems to deal with that soto shouldn't be an option. One guy isn't gonna change anything. We just saw that in the WS. They need to get a solid foundation first
The ball to first was in cole he should have covered like you are taught since you are 12 to do instead of assuming Rizzo made the right play to ensure that ball doesnt scoot past him knowing cole should be there that was 100% on cole
Using IKF in a highlight reel to exemplify what everyone already knows and has been saying for days now was enough for me. Thanks for sharing.

I really liked your analysis, we Yankee fans really live in a bubble, thinking that we are an elite team, and maybe in reality we are not, maybe we never were, maybe we are a result of good marketing.
In short, the important thing is to enjoy this beautiful sport that is baseball.
You are still an elite franchise with an elite market, fanbase and brand for sure, but rn the team just isn’t as special as it was in the early 2000s, and neither are my Red Sox too, we gotta get back to our rivalry glory

15:43 What I think is even more messed up is that people CHEERED when Mookie Betts was assaulted. If you know Jomboy Media (every baseball channel should tbh), he and his crew actively laughed and said "that's fuckin awesome" when it happened live, and then covered it up and censored people that called them out. Frankly, actively cheering on someone ASSAULTING a player and then trying to cover it up is even more reprehensible than the fans who attacked the dude, because let's be real, there's always dickheads in every fanbase. ENCOURAGING those dickheads is messed up beyond belief.
Good video. It’s far beyond time someone said these things out loud. The data of Yankee specialness ended when Steinbrenner Sr. was no longer in control on the team.
There are a lot of thieves in the Bronx Zoo. Ask Betts; he was a victim. These animals often work in pairs. One holds you down while the other one robs you.🤣
New York is soft as Charmin toilet paper nowadays. It's not like it was in the 80s , 90s and maybe even early 2000s
I hope this ain’t an LA guy talking trash about Yankees fans after yall lit ya own busses on fire, assaulted random innocent fans, and blew your hands off with fireworks.
If the Astros or Orioles have played the Yankees during the playoffs I don't think they make it to the series
Yankee fans forget steroid gate, the 96-2000 team steroids cheating scandal, 26 players testing positive for anabolic steroids, Andy Petttit admitting on the stand in court Roger Clemons, Jason Giambi, himself and 23 other players routinely relied on steroids, shooting up right in the locker room, the New York Post famously demanding the Yankees give back those trophies, calling it blatant cheating, tainted glory, a fraud on every other team who played fair, including all past Yankees greats. Derek Jetter was one of the few cleared, testing negative.
Played that clip of verdugo falling over to give up a walk off about 15 times 😅
Don't blame you though that was hilarious

Simply put..Yankees suck
People have kept harassing me as a Red Sox fan living in NY that “YANKEES ARE GONNA WIN!” I was the ONLY PERSON rooting for the dodgers. I finally, for once, proved them wrong.
The Yankees overachieved this year. Their baserunning and defense are awful. They strike out too much, and their starting pitching and bullpen are mediocre. They're all about hitting home runs. Feast or famine team.
Yankees fan here realisticly the whole playoffs was not a real path to a world series are we were exposed altough Ohtani and betts and most of the dodgers hitting was not that good it is polar opposite compared to 2017 when we acually hustled and played good complementary baseball.
Bro whatchu mean Betts was not that good? He teared it up this October lol
In 2017 the Yankees scored three runs in four games at Houston during the ALCS. Garbage cans or whatever excuse you or guys like Cashman want to use about the Astros cheating didn't cause the Yankees' offense to be that anemic. THREE RUNS in FOUR games! You're not going to win jack squat doing that.
This 2024 team was a much better overall team. Better line-up. Better pitching. Neither the 2017 Yankees team nor the 2024 team really had good fielding or base running fundamentals. That's all been a problem for the Yankees for quite some time.

So did Ohtani: He rescued his team from being swept by the Padres with his 3-run homer. He also had a great NLCS performance, boasting a 1.184 OPS, a .364 batting average, leading with 9 runs, and impressively reaching base 17 times. With an astounding .818 average with RISP. Not to mention, in game 1 of the World Series, he made a clutch double that tied the game 2-2 in the 8th inning, setting up Freddie's grand slam that crushed the Yankees' spirit. But of course, let’s conveniently ignore Ohtani getting injured in game 2 with a shoulder dislocation and mindlessly parrot "Ohtani did nothing in the postseason DURRR".
@@IcecreamforcrowtooAnd the Astros also hardly scored any runs. Forgetting how many of those games were close aren’t you? Probably helps stealing signs and winning one run games don’t you think.
@@Ryan-cb1ei
I'm not. But the Astros were not even CLOSE to as anemic as the Yankees. Games six and seven weren't exactly close. Crying about Houston not scoring a ton either doesn't take away from my point at all. You're not winning jack squat if you score three runs in four games.
But if you want to get into "cheating," Houston's whole system (which there is no confirmation it was ever used in the postseason in 2017) all came from Beltran who had come from the Yankees' organization the previous year. And the Yankees are an organization that has been confirmed at this point to have engaged in electronic sign stealing. So keep crying. Also, Houston had a higher team OPS ON THE ROAD in 2017 than they did at home. Look it up. It's verifiable on Baseball Reference.
The idea that the Yankees had anything taken from them in 2017 is a pathetic loser's kind of excuse at this point. They have had chance after chance after chance after chance over the past eight years. And they keep blowing it. The Yankees had a better team this year in 2024 than they did in 2017 (by a long shot) and everyone can see the 2024 team was not championship material and probably even lucky to get to the World Series in the first place. The banged-up Dodgers (whose best player was injured to the point of being a non-factor) used forty pitchers this year and a decimated pitching staff made fools of the Yankees. And this was a Yankees team that was superior in almost every measurable way to the 2017 Yankees.
It's one thing to sort of question Houston's championship in 2017 (even though basically every playoff team that year had an electronic sign stealing scheme according to an actual player interviewed on the subject - Lukas Giolito), it's another thing altogether to cry and whine like Cashman and SOME Yankees fans and just pretend that a championship was taken from them. What an assumption to make, lol! Yeah, and I thought Judge would have caught that flyball my grandmother could have caught with her glasses off, too! But what a convenient narrative to turn to in order to excuse a legacy of failure. That a team clearly better in 2017 'cheated' you out of a title.
The Yankees had two more chances against Houston (in 2019 and 2022) and still got their butts handed to them. Judge is a perennial playoff pumpkin while many players on the Astros (even outside of 2017) have shown themselves to be able to rise to the occasion in October. What's Judge's postseason average again? I mean, at some point speculating about 2017 when you've had many chances in the following years just becomes sour grapes and loser talk.
Dodgers fans have a much better claim to any title in 2017 than Yankees fans and even they're sort of begging some questions. But to the Dodgers' credit as an organization, they've at least won two titles since 2017 to reinforce their championship pedigree while the Astros went to seven straight ALCS match-ups and won another title, themselves. The Yankees meanwhile just embarrass themselves even when they make the big dance. That makes all this noise that they 'should' have been the champs in 2017 seem very risible to people who can weigh all this stuff and who aren't simply Yankees homers or Brian Cashman.
Nestor got a wakeup call when he threw that first pitch fastball down the pipe to Freddie 😂 The Dodgers are enjoying their lives and the Yankees players can keep on wishing people are jealous of their success
They beat nobody to get there. If la had been healthy it would have been way worse.
Cleveland and Kansas City are not nobody's.
Yea and if games 1 & 5 had gone ever so slightly differently, the Yankees would've gone into a game 6 at 3-2. You can play the what-if game a lot of different ways. What happened happened.
The Yankees don’t know how to play real baseball…
I felt the series was fairly close but the Yankees only won the giveaway bullpen game. They could have easily won one of the first two games in LA, but their bullpen ran out of arms in game 1, and their lineup fell short in their comeback in game 2. In game 3, they didn’t have much of a chance but made it close. Game 5 was a textbook example of how not to close out a game. The umpire even gave them a free run when he didn’t call strike three twice on Judge in the 6th.
No buddy boy. The series was over as soon as the Fat Joe Lady Karaoke sang.
This is what coaches of high schools and colleges also do. They try to out talent people and lose
The Yankees are a talented team they just don’t hit in the clutch some times
It’s because they don’t value hitting in the clutch!
@@USAbaseball99 talentless* they got demolished in the World Series and only got there due to facing AL Central teams
@peskytalk exactly. They value hitting homeruns over hitting in the clutch. Big difference.
RFer in CF
2bman at 3b
Bad 2b defense with Gleyber
Overall terrible fundamentals
Could have called up Dominguez 2-3 weeks earlier to practice left field, but no.
Isn’t it peculiar when Freddie rolled his ankle and couldn’t buy a hit throughout the NLCS, guess what we heard? Absolute silence. No cries of "Oh, Freddie is a complete flop for not showing up!" Nope, instead he was serenaded with soothing whispers of empathy and understanding.
Yet here comes Ohtani, the unsung hero of game 1 of the World Series, who snagged a clutch double in the 8th inning, setting the stage for Freddie’s memorable walk-off that basically won the Dodgers the WS. And then, oh no-a shoulder dislocation in game 2, leaving Ohtani one-handed. Suddenly, a guy playing with what amounts to a mechanical arm is supposed to knock it out of the park? Well, color me amazed. Apparently, "shoulder dislocation" actually means "you must perform superhuman feats without complaint" in whatever parallel universe these causals reside.
So now, despite heroically saving the Dodgers from getting swept by the Padres with his clutch 3-run homer, having an outstanding NLCS performance with a 1.184 OPS, .364 average, .818 with RISP, leading with 9 runs, reaching the bases 17 times, and massively contributing to game 1 of the WS with his series-changing clutch double, Ohtani is now put on trial by the armchair critics, branded as a "postseason choker".
Remarkable! Who knew injuries qualify as failures when you’re not Freddie? Our dear Freddie, however, gets a lovely exemption from expectations when injured but Ohtani? Oh, spare us the details about swinging with one arm, he just needs to put on a show, right? Their logic is baffling.
Ohtani wasn't hurt in the NLDS, what's your reasoning there?
@@ZR_1121
Yeah not like he saved the Dodgers from getting swept with clutch 3-run homer and after that continued with his clutch RISP every time his team really needed him. Everyone was talking about how he got a hit every time there was a RISP.
@@ZR_1121
But not surprising that you’re another casual who actually believes Ohtani folded in this postseason like your beloved overrated postseason choker, Erron Juice.
@@ZagirusI'm a Red Sox fan. Judge choked, too

Stick to basketball or something. You clearly don’t know anything about baseball. Btw, your beloved Mookie choked 2 straight years in the postseason before Ohtani arrived and shifted the pressure away from him. Your shitty Red Sox are chokers who can’t even make the playoffs hahahaha.
$300M for fundamentally bad baseball screams for a GM firing and an Orioles-style rebuild. They stink. And being the "next Jeter" is dubious praise, as he could neither hit nor field. Fire Cashman at the very least. Building bad fundamentals into your minor leaguers means you'll always lose. Get over yourselves.
The Yankees won most of their titles pre integration in an 8 team league when there was no playoff system. Overrated franchise!
As a Yankee fan, I've been saying it for years, Aaron Boone is the worst manager of all time. When you're a fan of the team, you see these kinds of mind boggling mistakes that he makes nearly every game in the regular season. He's just an absolute clown. Sometimes it honestly feels like he's trying to throw games or something. And with him being the manager for all these years, it's not hard to see why the Yankees are failing. Get rid of Boone, get back to greatness. Otherwise, I'm convinced his management is so atrocious that the team actually can't be successful.

What the LA Dodgers scouting report said and it proved to be correct. They had no fundamentals and when fundamentals came into play, the Yankees crapped the bed. The Dodgers have the talent since they paid for it. You still have to go out and win when it matters which LA did.
Aaron Judge is embarrassingly inept and a total failure in the pro season. He is as hated as A-Rod was and will be mercilessly booed in New York forever. Trade that imposter. He is Mr regular season and doesn't play in playoffs he takes vacation at that time of the year.
He did disappoint the Yankee fans. But it's nuts to say Judge is hated. He's their most popular player.

I feel the Yankees pain. As a die hard Laker fan, I have seen my team turn to trash.
The Lakers as a franchise and their fanbase deserve it.
Yeah “boo hoo 😢 my team hasn’t won a 🏆 in nearly 5 years”
Great video! I agree with everything but one point. As a Dodgers fan born in the early 90s who went all of his 20s without seeing a WS victory you NEED to keep that “World Series” or bust attitude. It helps keep pressure on ownership and the team. Nothing wrong with having that high standard! Even during the McCourt years I kept that mindset. Just one man’s opinion about another legendary big market team.
Excellent commentary! 💯
Thank you sir!
Red Sox and Astros have broke the Yankees
Pretty much
Mostly Astros
As a Red Sox fan, I'm still feeling good about the 2021 wildcard game. And the 2018 division series. And winning the most World Series this century - with four different core teams spaced generously over a 15 year span. I'd be ok waiting another +10 years without a WS as long as the Yankees also lose.
Red sox? Since when? We own them
Red Sox 8-1 in their last 9 playoff games against the Yankees dating back to 2004 including 3 series wins in that time. So no, Yankees currently do not own Boston whatsoever
People act like the yankees have always won the World Series. They won a bunch when there were like 12 teams then sucked for the late 60's early 70's then won nothing between 78 and 96. Everyone remembers their late 90's run and think oh yeah they always win, but that dynasty was 25 years ago. Since free agency began and they stopped robbing every player from the Kansas City A's, the Yankees win about every 15 years. They just happened to do it in bunches. Also the Yankees used to be able to buy out of their mistakes but with the new luxury tax things are very different. The Yankees were the only team to vote against it, I wonder why.
Remember this is 2024 . Brand is more important than wins and losses. The Yankees are doing phenomenal
The Yankees are a fundamentally flawed team and have been for quite some time this is a systemic problem within the organization and I don't see it changing anytime soon... sloppy base running ,sloppy defense, idiotic coaching, managing klusterfuks..... the entire infield and Outfield is out of sync and they look so unprofessional.... they collapsed like a house of cards in spectacular fashion!!,,, an epic meltdown for the ages....
Another critique I have with this video is? The Mets have more wins against the Dodgers, the Dodgers and Mets both play in National League, so of course, the Mets are going to have more wins against the Dodgers as they play them more often.
I meant in NLCS compared to WS
Ok
I see said the blind man. 😅
The the opposing team's scouting report tells them to "make the yankees play fundamental baseball... they'll inflict self harm" that should tell you all you need to know about how little the Yankees are built to win a ring
Dude the royals should have won the DS but we got a little unlucky
Ehhhh the Yankees are still the better team
@peskytalk still game 1 jazz was out at second and game 4 the wind robbed kyle Isabel of a homerun
Judge looked away at the last minute to check the runner at 1st. Volpe looked like he was squaring up to throw to 2nd but was probably told to go to 3rd. Betts had a similar play on his first AB but he hit it slower and with less spin. Rizzo AND Cole were fooled by the faster and crazier spin on the second one which left Rizzo doubling back to field the ball which left no chance for a 3U play and Cole mistakenly gave up. The pitcher HAS to run to first and let the 1B call HIM off.
I think New York's fans and media are a big issue for the team. They put way too much pressure on the players.😮
Definitely media, fans I think are fine to except a lot tbh
Lot's of expectation due to the history and big market. You could also take a look at the Jets this season 👀
I hope that is sarcasm
Soto is a clubhouse cancer. Take the talent & the cancer comes too.
You had some good points in this video, the rest of your commentary just sounds like a mindless rant from a Red Sox fan.
I think a lot of the rants are still valuable points tbh, like the beard policy is only something you should be doing if you’re actually achieving more than everyone else imo

There’s organizational rot happening right now with the Yankees. Too many entrenched people, legacy hires, and people largely not qualified to perform their job professionally. I see this in the federal government space a lot. The only fix possible is to burn it down, top to bottom, and hire qualified people. Aaron Boone? Cashman? That’s the best you guys can do? Until you make this change, is very little chance short of spending.
I am a dodgers fan. Even if Steinbrenner were alive this team would be the same failure. The Yankees were only a good team back then because they paid for talent but they haven’t changed their approach at all to baseball. Dodgers and many, many teams have changed their approach and strategy with new technology, I believe wholeheartedly that had this technology existed before and an electronic strike zone had been established back in the early 30s-40s the Yankees would not have 27 rings, let alone 10. The game of baseball this season proved it’s more competitive than it’s ever been and I don’t care if grandpa thinks it’s a travesty to see this teams issues, problem is that they’ve always had these holes and problems, just teams now have the opportunity to see past the smoke and mirrors that wasn’t available before.
You're so wrong about the Yankees. The 90s team was before Cashman. Built by Gene "Stick" Michael with all around quality players. Cashman has turned them into an undisciplined home run derby squad. Fun fact: 1998 Yankees, considered the best of them, did not have the highest payroll in baseball. Research what you say
Major rule changes also play a huge role.
The core 4 were home grown Yankees. Jeter, Posada, Rivera and Williams. That's the difference from this team.
As if the Dodgers don’t “pay for talent”
Pretty sure dodger paid also idiot
The Dodgers wanted it more...period. That vaunted, self instilled Yankee's sense of entitlement was always a growing debt, a yearly deficit that would inevitably come due. Arrogance demands due diligence to sustain it. It created the eventual A Rod legacy. Sympathy?... Forget about it.
The Dodgers were the better team. Simple. It had nothing to do with "wanting" it more.
