@ you can do both. These are the Yankees not the A’s. Don’t let them crying poor fool you. They could afford 26 Juan Sotos if they wanted. And you’re a fool if you don’t want him back. This team didn’t even make the playoffs without him and they certainly won’t get past the Dodgers.
Ultimately, in a year looking back, I’d say it was Freddie’s grand slam that decided it all. It’s like getting knocked out in the first round . Even if you manage to get up, you’re all messed up after that. And honestly , Freddie is the only player in the league that I’m fine with beating us. He definitely deserves this one
This dude on the left REALLY gets it even though he’s clearly crushed. Speaking facts. Look at Mike Trout!! He took the pay day and he’s winding his career down never having sniffed the postseason. Not everyone is emotionally motivated to choose a team. He left San Diego the same way. Can’t take it all so personally, let it play out.
To all the Yankees fans cheering, laughing and calling Ohtani names when he got hurt. Ohtani has a WS Championship. Youre beloved Judge validated His status as Choke-tober. Ohtani 1 Judge 0
literally none of us did that you freaking weirdo main character syndrome freak dodgers bandwagon fan. try not to give brain damage to any giants fans this week
Totally disagree, no Soto means they resign Gleyber, and can get a Christian Walker. Go get a stud Ace and get a bullpen. It also mean Judge goes to RF and they can get an athletic CF.
Facts. He is using his leverage to his contract talks just like judge did. He didn’t say anything about a discount, in fact Hal had to go the extra year. So why go “well if the Yankees want me I guess I’ll take a little less” what that makes no damn sense. Now, I personally think Soto is gone to the highest bidder. His defense is pretty suspect, he’s gonna be another G watch. Glorified DH, yeah you’ll get some time out of him but the defense man came on… gold glove my ass bro. Judge had one error ALL SEASON but no gold glove when I watched games that Soto screwed up. I got no clue how they fingered GG other than it will be more in contract talks.
@@davidschaller7702 did Soto come up through the Yankees organization? Did he request to be traded here? No. Why should he? I’m a Yankee fan and want him back but be realistic. He has always talked about free agency and now you want him to give you a discount? No way

People saying the Dodgers weren’t better are delusional. Dodgers had the better record and played much better teams in the playoffs. Dodgers had better hitting 1-9. Dodgers made far fewer mistakes running the bases. Dodgers were far better defensively. Dodgers had the superior weapon in Freeman. Yankees should have been walking freeman EVERY time after game 3. It wasn’t even a 6 game series !!!
I truly don't care about the narrative that Rizzo 'simply doesn't take the ball to first himself'. You do not play like that anyway. You do what you have to do. Whatever it takes. Not whatever you want. That one is on Cole, but I think that, on defense, you simply do not trust your teammate. You prepare for the worst case scenario, even if the play is the easiest play ever.
To all the people who I am already seeing say Jeter was a below average fielder and Volpe is so much better. Jeter never would have made the errors Volpe made in the World Series.
True Jeter made good decisions on the field, he would've thrown to second. That said, he did make an error in 2003 WS Game 6 that led to an unearned run.
Jeter was a great hitter. A great and then later good SS for much of his career. But one thing--he almost always had his head in the game. On defense, on offense batting, and on offense running. His head was in the game.
@@Mo-yd8xc Losing to Diamondbacks series after 9/11, Red Sox series comeback , Astros Altuve HR on Chapman, all worse than this. If this had been a game 7, it would absolutely be numero uno.
“The Dodgers aren’t that much better than the Yankees?” Imagine if Roberts went all in on game 4 after being up 2-0 after the Freddie home run? Do the Yankees even win 1 game? They played 2 teams previously in these playoffs that most people thought would have beaten the Yankees as well. There’s a reason why those teams won more than 1 game against the Dodgers. The Yankees won 1 game against the Dodgers JV pitchers. Take the best game that the Yankees played in these playoffs and compare it to the Dodgers. Dodgers at their best 8-0 against the Padre, 9-0 against the Mets and another 8-0 against the Mets. These were against better competition. It really is a surprise that the Dodgers didn’t have a game against the Yankees similar to those games. I really think it was due to Ohtani’s injury. The padres were the only team that had a real chance against the Dodgers this year. If the Padres had a 7 game series, it might have been different.
The main ONE thing the Dodgers are better than the Yankees, is THE MANAGER. With a better choice of the relievers, the Yankees win game 1 and also game 5 (even with the 5th inning meltdown).
@@epiSanchez-gx3zkAnd I’m a die hard Dodgers Fan and this Series should have been MUCH closer than the 4-1 ending it had. Hope you guys are able to keep Soto…
I'm not a yankees fan.. and even i could tell you... the yankees beat themselves... the dodgers were the better team because they won and did the little things that mattered.. but if you look up the statistics.. they were pretty much even..
Wow, people like this are exactly why the Yankees will never win a championship in the near future. Coddling Boone and Cashman instead of holding them accountable is insane. What happenedto these hacks??
To say that oh the Yankees made it to the World Series so that’s successful. They had the easiest path to the World Series I’ve ever seen in my life. Who knows the next time they will ever get that close.. you are all bugging!!!!!
Yes! I'm a die hard Yankees fan. Look at last 2 posts. Had tough time vs Cleve in 2022, swept by Houston. This season beat KC and Cleve again, beat by Dodgers in 5. Yanks can't beat excellent teams in post. It's that simple.
The Yankees let the Dodgers Fans stay because they are good sports. And they understand the World Series is bigger than just the Yankees and the Dodgers. If the Yankees won in LA, I would be very sad, but I wouldn’t be “disgusted” by the children of Yankees’ players running around the field…
I think MLB used to award the visiting team in the visitors clubhouse. It's nice how they set up the stage on the field so the families can be part of the celebration. 👍😃
I don’t see Sotos comments as evidence one way or the other that he won’t give the Yankees special consideration. He said what someone in that situation would be expected to say; that all offers will be considered. He may or may not want to return to the Yankees, but his comments don’t rule out either possibility.
The Dodgers Victory was made so much sweeter knowing the Michael Kay suffered, especially after Game One and during Game Five. How sweet it is... I sent the station a case of tissue after Michael Kay cried like a newborn baby with his manufactured outrage at the on air comments of Kiki Hernandez... Kiki gave Kay the Middle Finger with each big hit he got...
The same play with Rizzo and Cole happened in the first inning. What Rizzo did? He ran to first base. On the fifth Rizzo decided not run to run to first base.
We got a trophy this year Mets got a pat on the back for making a “run” with the highest payroll this season and losing by a historic run differential.
@@AlanYeezy American League championship is not a consolation trophy. The players get a ring still. It’s just not the big ring. Didn’t the Met fans want a parade for making it to the nlcs lmao?
@Platerpus7 How is it not a consolation trophy? The Yankees lost. Not only did they lose, but they got rolled 4-1. They won the AL(slow clap). Why are we celebrating 2nd place? Loser mentality. Unless their goal was to lose in the world series. When Verdugo struck out, there was a reason why the Yankees were upset. It's because they failed. As far as the Mets are concerned, they failed too. The only team that didn't fail in their goal was the Dodgers.
The last two game the Yankees changed their approach around the plate it seemed to me. Instead of being picky at the plate for the walk, they started hunting fastballs and hitting them.
"All-Star Home Run Derby Syndrome" The reason for Judge and Ohtani's poor performance is that they were too conscious of the home run record just before the end of the regular season. After participating in the All-Star Game Home Run Derby, their batting form can go haywire. In fact, many sluggers refuse to participate.
Ohtani was hitting .386 in NLCS. He tanked out in WS, but overall still hitting .230. Judge was atrocious for the entire post season, hitting .184. Judge is Superman in regular season, a rag in the post season all his career
Frustrating thing is defense was a problem all year but the Yankees refused to acknowledge it. And of course the season ends with an all time defensive collapse. And guess what, the Yankees will still say defense isn’t a problem. Just bad luck, just really unlucky random inning. Which is insane because we all knew this was a massive issue.
How many times does judge have to get “bailed out” before the team loses confidence. Im sorry but the captain of the team assumes responsibility. The series should have been over game four and would have if the dodgers didn’t give the yankees a win.
Talk about that idiot Cashman after they make the World Series he takes a pot shot at Houston. Now I myself don't like the Astros but shut up & hide especially after the Yankees play a series like that.
Yankees stinks gave Game 5 with 5 unearned runs as a gift 🎁 to the Dodgers with 3 bone head mistakes from Judge, easy pop-up , Volpe error throw to third base and Rizzo error on first base why didn’t Rizzo run to first base to get that out. Yankees shot themselves in their feet. Boone bonehead mistake of using injured Nector Cortes for Game 1 a gift 🎁 to the Dodgers as well. Look at the bright side Yankees are the second best team for 2024 , I think 🤔 the Yankees would’ve lost game 6 or 7 at . Hal Steinbrenner should fire 🔥 Boone for poorly managed team, and no championship in 7 years and 🔥 Cashman a poorly constructed team for 330 million payroll and no championship for 15 years and counting. Those are down the fall of the Yankees plus stupid mistakes in game 5 by 3 players and Boone stupid mistake of using an injured pitcher Nector Cortes to pitch against Ohtani and Freddy Kruger.
Championships 🏆 by definition are awarded to the team that plays better and makes the better managerial decisions. Yankees certainly didn't earn anything but the Championship 🏆 was not gifted to the Dodgers who pitched better, hit better, ran better, threw better, fielder better, and made better managerial decisions.... Dodgers EARNED IT! 💙💦💙💦
Honestly, I love Juan Soto and it would be amazing if he would stay. But if he decides to go elsewhere, I don't care. We could use that money on other players that could improve our offense and our defense especially infield.
Aaron Judge DID NOT TAKE LESS MONEY. Judge turned down the Yankee offer of 200-plus million, then Yankees came back, made him the highest paid at the time. In today’s game, money talks. The Dodgers were the better more resilient team. Cole could have ended it, not Rizzo, by doing HIS job and covering 1st. This is a play taught at Little League and drilled into everyone, especially elite players at every stage. Stop being a homer and call it like it is. Playoffs are a pressure cooker, and the Yankees cracked.
To everyone saying the Dodgers were much better, look at the series stats. They're all basically even. The Yankees GAVE them game 5. The Yankees were 1 out away in Game 1. It easily could be 3-2 NY right now with the teams getting ready to play game 6 in LA tonight. If every game was 10-0 Dodgers, I'd agree they were the much better team. But even game 2 was decided at the very end with Trevino's fly out. And he made good contact. If his swing is just a little better that game is at least tied. The games were all close except the 1 game the Yankees actually won
@@KidfromKingsCounty YOU GOT NO POINT y'all SKANKEES fans are grasping at straws trying to pretend the Dodgers didn't kick ass and LA won't let y'all forget about it too 😎
@@Tony-q8r lmao yeah keep replying without saying anything to counter my point. Just proving me even more right. Dodgers hit .200 in the series and even worse with risp. Chokethani sucked the whole time he should be thanking the Yankees for gifting him a ring he didn’t earn
Ill counter, half of those yankee runs are from game 4 where La used the softest part of their bullpen lmao. Inflated numbers giving you false comparisons. The game is 9 innings and yankees were outmatched till the end. Not to mention yankees couldn't score in a REAL stadium like LA. They demolished the yankees when you include defense. @KidfromKingsCounty
The stats you’re showing comparing the Dodgers and the Yankees *for the Series* are somewhat misleading; the Dodgers basically threw game 4, and the Yankees got to take BP off the long relief arms. Take that out, and the picture changes dramatically.
Dom, judge was WORSE than buckner, buckner was significantly injured and showed character the whole series by playing and the sox had game 7 left to play afterward.
If players never hit the top twenty-five percentile of pitchers in the league during the regular season, why would you think they would hit those same pitchers in the post-season. Soto is the only decent situational hitter on the Yankee roster, other than that nobody on the Yankee team is a good situational hitter. Judge for all the home-runs he hits in the regular season, will likely always struggle in the post-season, because he has never adjusted to hit any pitch mid thigh or lower, and he is so extremely vulnerable to curves, sliders, and change-ups in the lower quadrants, and that is all he saw in the post-season. The body, talent, skill-set are your leverage for baseball players, and to Soto, baseball is his business. The owners are all dollars and sense, and baseball players have the same right to treat their career the same. All the years honing his skill, practicing his swing, now it is time to reap the rewards for Soto.
-You guys argue all these little details all you want. Yankees operate a beer league slow pitch softball team with all these huge guys. (Christ, when Stanton got thrown out at the plate he looked like he was running in mud.) They strike out a lot. They never play small ball and manufacture runs. How many times do you have to watch these guys run into teams with pitching in the offseason, and they crap the bed?
FIRE CASHMAN! Do I have to run onto the field opening day with shaved head, orange monk robe, gasoline and a lighter with a “FIRE CASHMAN” sign to get Hal to listen. Failure use to have consequences.
dodgers had a whole nother staff on the DL. May, Gonsolin, Kershaw, Stone, Glass and River Ryan(this kid is gonna be something). ffs, embarrassment of riches. Flaherty and Buehler will be gone. They're gonna go after Fried and Roki, good luck. You know they also want Snell.
Is it reasonable to expect the team with the highest paid players' in baseball to be able to execute the fundamentals that are learned in Little League? I'm surprised they even won one game.
Let Soto walk, cost too much money, we need to build a team. Let’s go out and sign Alex Bregman (3B), Corbin Burnes (SP) & Cristian Walker (1B). Trade Stanton while he has some value from his postseason run.
Just read the dodgers scouting report for the World Series. That’s all you need to focus on. It’s ironically exactly what fans have been saying all season while being told we are spoiled and should shut up. Bottom line any team that can’t do the basics ya gotta look to the manager and team culture. What good is elite talent if it can’t do the absolute basics it takes to win? If you’re gonna rely on the big plays to win ya gotta get the little ones right to not lose
Typical myopic New Yawka in Michael Kay. As an Angels fan it was painful to see the Dodgers win, but they are a way better team than the Yankees, and will be for a long time. That was the best shot the Yankees had for a World Series. They won’t be going back for awhile especially with Soto probably walking away to either the Mets or Dodgers.
We ask how do the Rays and the Athletics find so much success in a league that is so unfair? It’s because their players are hungry and their management is strong. They work on their fundamentals and the players don’t rule the team. The Yankees are looking like an NBA team. Ya cant tell em nothin and everything is fine all the time we trust the players bc they are professional. Its a shame really.
Yankees Fans We Need A New Regime For 2025. The old regime isn’t working without championship 15 years and counting . In 2024 a poorly managed Yankees with bone head mistakes. Boone need to be fire 🔥. Cashman needs to be fire 🔥 also poorly constructed 2024 Yankees team no good defense and poor base running team in the in MLB which cause the Yankees to lose the world series championship. Here are following trades he fail - Nothing getting Dylan Cease or Jack Flaherty , getting reliever Tanner Scott. Fail to get Jason Hader in the off season Bad trades - Joey Gallo, Frank Montas and Giancarlo Stanton prior years except 2024
Aren't team owners all about business when it comes to signing players? Why players can't be the same? Are you giving Soto this level of scrutiny because he is a member of a racial minority? Would you do the same if we were talking about Jeter or other white player? Be honest with yourselves about your bias
Leave me time stamps and a title and I will update the description.

lol 😂
Ultimately, in a year looking back, I’d say it was Freddie’s grand slam that decided it all. It’s like getting knocked out in the first round . Even if you manage to get up, you’re all messed up after that. And honestly , Freddie is the only player in the league that I’m fine with beating us. He definitely deserves this one
I am confused why Soto would be compared to Ohtani. Ohtani will pitch every 5th day, once he recovers, in addition to hitting every day.
This dude on the left REALLY gets it even though he’s clearly crushed. Speaking facts.
Look at Mike Trout!! He took the pay day and he’s winding his career down never having sniffed the postseason. Not everyone is emotionally motivated to choose a team. He left San Diego the same way. Can’t take it all so personally, let it play out.
To all the Yankees fans cheering, laughing and calling Ohtani names when he got hurt. Ohtani has a WS Championship. Youre beloved Judge validated His status as Choke-tober. Ohtani 1 Judge 0
literally none of us did that you freaking weirdo main character syndrome freak dodgers bandwagon fan. try not to give brain damage to any giants fans this week
Is Boone pushing the buttons or is it Stashman?
Judge will be known as a choke job and losing to ohtani who was injured
“So many people would just live easier if they just listen to me…” WOW that is a straight up sign of a narcissist.😮
Why would Soto say there is an advantage? That would be the dumbest thing when he’s trying to negotiate a contract.
Totally disagree, no Soto means they resign Gleyber, and can get a Christian Walker. Go get a stud Ace and get a bullpen. It also mean Judge goes to RF and they can get an athletic CF.
Facts. He is using his leverage to his contract talks just like judge did. He didn’t say anything about a discount, in fact Hal had to go the extra year. So why go “well if the Yankees want me I guess I’ll take a little less” what that makes no damn sense. Now, I personally think Soto is gone to the highest bidder. His defense is pretty suspect, he’s gonna be another G watch. Glorified DH, yeah you’ll get some time out of him but the defense man came on… gold glove my ass bro. Judge had one error ALL SEASON but no gold glove when I watched games that Soto screwed up. I got no clue how they fingered GG other than it will be more in contract talks.
The difference is that Soto doesn’t seem to have a loyalty the way Judge does. He’ll go to whoever offers the most money.
@@billy2069 they can do all of that and still sign Soto don’t let the Yankees fool you
@@davidschaller7702 did Soto come up through the Yankees organization? Did he request to be traded here? No. Why should he? I’m a Yankee fan and want him back but be realistic. He has always talked about free agency and now you want him to give you a discount? No way
The spankees had no chance of winning two in LA anyways 😅
aaron judge should be at times square on new year’s eve … so he can drop the ball
Dodgers bottom lineup was better than the Yankees bottom lineup!! It didn’t help that Judge was a no show in Game 1-3 either
The Victory Parade was Heaven on Earth in the City of Angels on All Saints Day
🎵 It's Just Another Perfect Day 🎵 wish the Series showcased the best of the best in both leagues, but some things are just meant to happen.
Lack of fundamentals in this organization.
Defensively, the Yankees were statistically ranked around 12th in the majors this season.
Also if we lose soto I can imagine opening day at Yankee stadium late next March I swarm of boos
Idk why fans show up still
@@Patriots92they could be band wagoners and some Yankees fans are not from nyc they come from out of state or just tourists. I could opening day sold out but if the Yankees start bad 2025 then most of the games won’t be sold out
@@Patriots92Um - They just made it to THE WORLD SERIES!! And you're wondering why fans show up?
People saying the Dodgers weren’t better are delusional. Dodgers had the better record and played much better teams in the playoffs. Dodgers had better hitting 1-9. Dodgers made far fewer mistakes running the bases. Dodgers were far better defensively. Dodgers had the superior weapon in Freeman. Yankees should have been walking freeman EVERY time after game 3. It wasn’t even a 6 game series !!!
I'm a marlins fan randomly watching this video. Why is my team catching strays 😂 Anyways, i really wanted this series to go 7...man
I truly don't care about the narrative that Rizzo 'simply doesn't take the ball to first himself'. You do not play like that anyway. You do what you have to do.
Whatever it takes. Not whatever you want.
That one is on Cole, but I think that, on defense, you simply do not trust your teammate. You prepare for the worst case scenario, even if the play is the easiest play ever.
To all the people who I am already seeing say Jeter was a below average fielder and Volpe is so much better. Jeter never would have made the errors Volpe made in the World Series.
Jeter wouldn’t have even gotten to that ball
Most overrated player in baseball history
@@jamesd126 yall have no clue what overrated means so many people say jeters overrated so wouldn’t that make him probably rated??
True Jeter made good decisions on the field, he would've thrown to second.
That said, he did make an error in 2003 WS Game 6 that led to an unearned run.
Jeter was a great hitter. A great and then later good SS for much of his career. But one thing--he almost always had his head in the game. On defense, on offense batting, and on offense running. His head was in the game.
I love Jeter but he isnt a robot. Mistakes happen
So these guys dont do a show in studio anymore ?
The Dodgers play a good clean game of baseball. They clearly hustle and focus on the fundamentals in a way the Yankees don't.
These guys don’t remember 04 and then having to see the Red Sox beat the Cardinals. That was the worst feeling ever.
I’m a 37-yr old Yankee fan and this loss wasnt even top 2
What was number 1?
@@Mo-yd8xc Losing to Diamondbacks series after 9/11, Red Sox series comeback , Astros Altuve HR on Chapman, all worse than this.
If this had been a game 7, it would absolutely be numero uno.
“The Dodgers aren’t that much better than the Yankees?” Imagine if Roberts went all in on game 4 after being up 2-0 after the Freddie home run? Do the Yankees even win 1 game? They played 2 teams previously in these playoffs that most people thought would have beaten the Yankees as well. There’s a reason why those teams won more than 1 game against the Dodgers. The Yankees won 1 game against the Dodgers JV pitchers. Take the best game that the Yankees played in these playoffs and compare it to the Dodgers. Dodgers at their best 8-0 against the Padre, 9-0 against the Mets and another 8-0 against the Mets. These were against better competition. It really is a surprise that the Dodgers didn’t have a game against the Yankees similar to those games. I really think it was due to Ohtani’s injury. The padres were the only team that had a real chance against the Dodgers this year. If the Padres had a 7 game series, it might have been different.
The main ONE thing the Dodgers are better than the Yankees, is THE MANAGER. With a better choice of the relievers, the Yankees win game 1 and also game 5 (even with the 5th inning meltdown).
I just hear a bunch of excuses...I've yet to hear any credit given to the better team in this series...You lost in 5, not 6 or 7
Absolutely im a die hard Yankees fan but,, truef be told they were the better team they played us playing and simple..
@@epiSanchez-gx3zkAnd I’m a die hard Dodgers Fan and this Series should have been MUCH closer than the 4-1 ending it had. Hope you guys are able to keep Soto…
Going down 3-0 was the bail in the coffin. Looking at 2004 Red Sox was a LONGSHOT.
you're hearing the reality. yanks beat themselves
I'm not a yankees fan.. and even i could tell you... the yankees beat themselves... the dodgers were the better team because they won and did the little things that mattered.. but if you look up the statistics.. they were pretty much even..
Wow, people like this are exactly why the Yankees will never win a championship in the near future. Coddling Boone and Cashman instead of holding them accountable is insane. What happenedto these hacks??
5:40 Nobody thought that kind of catastrophe could happen? On the contrary - if you watched the team all season, you knew it could happen.
I didn’t know George Lucas went to YES.
I will not be surprise that next season yankee stadium will be empty just how worse they could become in 2025 if they don’t get soto back
Huh? Yankee Stadium won't be empty. It's never empty.
To say that oh the Yankees made it to the World Series so that’s successful. They had the easiest path to the World Series I’ve ever seen in my life. Who knows the next time they will ever get that close.. you are all bugging!!!!!
Yes! I'm a die hard Yankees fan. Look at last 2 posts. Had tough time vs Cleve in 2022, swept by Houston. This season beat KC and Cleve again, beat by Dodgers in 5. Yanks can't beat excellent teams in post. It's that simple.
The Yankees let the Dodgers Fans stay because they are good sports. And they understand the World Series is bigger than just the Yankees and the Dodgers. If the Yankees won in LA, I would be very sad, but I wouldn’t be “disgusted” by the children of Yankees’ players running around the field…
I think MLB used to award the visiting team in the visitors clubhouse. It's nice how they set up the stage on the field so the families can be part of the celebration. 👍😃
26:33 Talking from experience Don? That chuckle was very revealing
I don’t see Sotos comments as evidence one way or the other that he won’t give the Yankees special consideration. He said what someone in that situation would be expected to say; that all offers will be considered. He may or may not want to return to the Yankees, but his comments don’t rule out either possibility.
I feel like Grady Little all over again just listening to you guys.
The Dodgers Victory was made so much sweeter knowing the Michael Kay suffered, especially after Game One and during Game Five. How sweet it is... I sent the station a case of tissue after Michael Kay cried like a newborn baby with his manufactured outrage at the on air comments of Kiki Hernandez... Kiki gave Kay the Middle Finger with each big hit he got...
The same play with Rizzo and Cole happened in the first inning. What Rizzo did? He ran to first base. On the fifth Rizzo decided not run to run to first base.
You guys are the second best team in NY😂
That’s false. Mets didn’t get to the world series. Actually they gave up the most runs in championship series history.
We got a trophy this year Mets got a pat on the back for making a “run” with the highest payroll this season and losing by a historic run differential.
A consolation trophy
@@AlanYeezy American League championship is not a consolation trophy. The players get a ring still. It’s just not the big ring.
Didn’t the Met fans want a parade for making it to the nlcs lmao?
@Platerpus7 How is it not a consolation trophy? The Yankees lost. Not only did they lose, but they got rolled 4-1. They won the AL(slow clap). Why are we celebrating 2nd place? Loser mentality. Unless their goal was to lose in the world series. When Verdugo struck out, there was a reason why the Yankees were upset. It's because they failed. As far as the Mets are concerned, they failed too. The only team that didn't fail in their goal was the Dodgers.
Soto should be that way. He deserves every penny he’s gonna get
The last two game the Yankees changed their approach around the plate it seemed to me. Instead of being picky at the plate for the walk, they started hunting fastballs and hitting them.
I’d rather hear more of Michael Kay regarding the Yankees than Mets supporters.
"All-Star Home Run Derby Syndrome"
The reason for Judge and Ohtani's poor performance is that they were too conscious of the home run record just before the end of the regular season. After participating in the All-Star Game Home Run Derby, their batting form can go haywire.
In fact, many sluggers refuse to participate.
Ohtani was hitting .386 in NLCS.
He tanked out in WS, but overall still hitting .230. Judge was atrocious for the entire post season, hitting .184. Judge is Superman in regular season, a rag in the post season all his career
Frustrating thing is defense was a problem all year but the Yankees refused to acknowledge it. And of course the season ends with an all time defensive collapse. And guess what, the Yankees will still say defense isn’t a problem. Just bad luck, just really unlucky random inning. Which is insane because we all knew this was a massive issue.
How many times does judge have to get “bailed out” before the team loses confidence. Im sorry but the captain of the team assumes responsibility. The series should have been over game four and would have if the dodgers didn’t give the yankees a win.
I bet if you ask Michael if yankees are a top 5 team in the last decade and he would say yes 😂
Had to tap out from the cracking mics tech issues.
Talk about that idiot Cashman after they make the World Series he takes a pot shot at Houston. Now I myself don't like the Astros but shut up & hide especially after the Yankees play a series like that.
the Red Sox series was the worst night in yankee history
Yankees stinks gave Game 5 with 5 unearned runs as a gift 🎁 to the Dodgers with 3 bone head mistakes from Judge, easy pop-up , Volpe error throw to third base and Rizzo error on first base why didn’t Rizzo run to first base to get that out. Yankees shot themselves in their feet. Boone bonehead mistake of using injured Nector Cortes for Game 1 a gift 🎁 to the Dodgers as well. Look at the bright side Yankees are the second best team for 2024 , I think 🤔 the Yankees would’ve lost game 6 or 7 at . Hal Steinbrenner should fire 🔥 Boone for poorly managed team, and no championship in 7 years and 🔥 Cashman a poorly constructed team for 330 million payroll and no championship for 15 years and counting. Those are down the fall of the Yankees plus stupid mistakes in game 5 by 3 players and Boone stupid mistake of using an injured pitcher Nector Cortes to pitch against Ohtani and Freddy Kruger.
Championships 🏆 by definition are awarded to the team that plays better and makes the better managerial decisions. Yankees certainly didn't earn anything but the Championship 🏆 was not gifted to the Dodgers who pitched better, hit better, ran better, threw better, fielder better, and made better managerial decisions.... Dodgers EARNED IT! 💙💦💙💦
No we do NOT play Randy Newman for a L.
Honestly, I love Juan Soto and it would be amazing if he would stay. But if he decides to go elsewhere, I don't care. We could use that money on other players that could improve our offense and our defense especially infield.
Aaron Judge DID NOT TAKE LESS MONEY. Judge turned down the Yankee offer of 200-plus million, then Yankees came back, made him the highest paid at the time. In today’s game, money talks. The Dodgers were the better more resilient team. Cole could have ended it, not Rizzo, by doing HIS job and covering 1st. This is a play taught at Little League and drilled into everyone, especially elite players at every stage. Stop being a homer and call it like it is. Playoffs are a pressure cooker, and the Yankees cracked.
Boone basically has no feel for the bullpen. All year. Not just in this WS. He cost us Game 1, he cost us game 5. But watch he’ll be back.
Yes Mike, that is because there is no accountability. 🤷♂️
If we lose soto the Yankees will be a last place team next season
To everyone saying the Dodgers were much better, look at the series stats. They're all basically even. The Yankees GAVE them game 5. The Yankees were 1 out away in Game 1. It easily could be 3-2 NY right now with the teams getting ready to play game 6 in LA tonight. If every game was 10-0 Dodgers, I'd agree they were the much better team. But even game 2 was decided at the very end with Trevino's fly out. And he made good contact. If his swing is just a little better that game is at least tied. The games were all close except the 1 game the Yankees actually won
Keep telling yourself that 😂
Dodgers handed the Skankees their ass's
@@Tony-q8r nice argument lmao proving my point that the Yankees beat themselves
@@KidfromKingsCounty YOU GOT NO POINT
y'all SKANKEES fans are grasping at straws
trying to pretend the Dodgers didn't kick ass
and LA won't let y'all forget about it too 😎
@@Tony-q8r lmao yeah keep replying without saying anything to counter my point. Just proving me even more right. Dodgers hit .200 in the series and even worse with risp. Chokethani sucked the whole time he should be thanking the Yankees for gifting him a ring he didn’t earn
Ill counter, half of those yankee runs are from game 4 where La used the softest part of their bullpen lmao. Inflated numbers giving you false comparisons. The game is 9 innings and yankees were outmatched till the end. Not to mention yankees couldn't score in a REAL stadium like LA. They demolished the yankees when you include defense. @KidfromKingsCounty
Cashman / Hal, will walk , because Soto ends up in the NL ... Which always saves the Yankee organization
They should be making the new blockbuster movie soon. A new motion picture from Stephen King.
"THE FIFTH INNING"
A triller/horror. Rated X
The stats you’re showing comparing the Dodgers and the Yankees *for the Series* are somewhat misleading; the Dodgers basically threw game 4, and the Yankees got to take BP off the long relief arms. Take that out, and the picture changes dramatically.
Dom, judge was WORSE than buckner, buckner was significantly injured and showed character the whole series by playing and the sox had game 7 left to play afterward.
I’d try to get Jorge Posada as manager
🤦♂️kay,Dodgers are not better than yankees 🤦♂️ your big star said it,fundamentals,fundamentals!!!
If players never hit the top twenty-five percentile of pitchers in the league during the regular season, why would you think they would hit those same pitchers in the post-season. Soto is the only decent situational hitter on the Yankee roster, other than that nobody on the Yankee team is a good situational hitter. Judge for all the home-runs he hits in the regular season, will likely always struggle in the post-season, because he has never adjusted to hit any pitch mid thigh or lower, and he is so extremely vulnerable to curves, sliders, and change-ups in the lower quadrants, and that is all he saw in the post-season. The body, talent, skill-set are your leverage for baseball players, and to Soto, baseball is his business. The owners are all dollars and sense, and baseball players have the same right to treat their career the same. All the years honing his skill, practicing his swing, now it is time to reap the rewards for Soto.
The Yankees Lose !!!!!
-You guys argue all these little details all you want. Yankees operate a beer league slow pitch softball team with all these huge guys. (Christ, when Stanton got thrown out at the plate he looked like he was running in mud.) They strike out a lot. They never play small ball and manufacture runs. How many times do you have to watch these guys run into teams with pitching in the offseason, and they crap the bed?
FIRE CASHMAN! Do I have to run onto the field opening day with shaved head, orange monk robe, gasoline and a lighter with a “FIRE CASHMAN” sign to get Hal to listen. Failure use to have consequences.
Soto is not committed to winning . .285 lifetime hitter. average outfielder. Yankees should use the $ and get pitchers and win a WS
dodgers had a whole nother staff on the DL. May, Gonsolin, Kershaw, Stone, Glass and River Ryan(this kid is gonna be something). ffs, embarrassment of riches. Flaherty and Buehler will be gone. They're gonna go after Fried and Roki, good luck. You know they also want Snell.
Is it reasonable to expect the team with the highest paid players' in baseball to be able to execute the fundamentals that are learned in Little League? I'm surprised they even won one game.
Let Soto walk, cost too much money, we need to build a team. Let’s go out and sign Alex Bregman (3B), Corbin Burnes (SP) & Cristian Walker (1B). Trade Stanton while he has some value from his postseason run.
Just read the dodgers scouting report for the World Series. That’s all you need to focus on. It’s ironically exactly what fans have been saying all season while being told we are spoiled and should shut up. Bottom line any team that can’t do the basics ya gotta look to the manager and team culture. What good is elite talent if it can’t do the absolute basics it takes to win? If you’re gonna rely on the big plays to win ya gotta get the little ones right to not lose
If Michael Kay is so smart how come he isn’t the manager?
For me for what i saw San Diego would had take us out to for real 💯
Another World Series stat, Dodgers 2 errors ~ Yankees 5 error (this not including the balk)
I'd let Soto walk, I don't feel comfortable giving him 500plus for a guy who isn't a gold glove fielder. I say sign snell and get a third baseman.
Typical myopic New Yawka in Michael Kay. As an Angels fan it was painful to see the Dodgers win, but they are a way better team than the Yankees, and will be for a long time. That was the best shot the Yankees had for a World Series. They won’t be going back for awhile especially with Soto probably walking away to either the Mets or Dodgers.
We ask how do the Rays and the Athletics find so much success in a league that is so unfair? It’s because their players are hungry and their management is strong. They work on their fundamentals and the players don’t rule the team. The Yankees are looking like an NBA team. Ya cant tell em nothin and everything is fine all the time we trust the players bc they are professional. Its a shame really.
Anyone else’s audio all crackly?
Yankees Fans We Need A New Regime For 2025. The old regime isn’t working without championship 15 years and counting . In 2024 a poorly managed Yankees with bone head mistakes. Boone need to be fire 🔥. Cashman needs to be fire 🔥 also poorly constructed 2024 Yankees team no good defense and poor base running team in the in MLB which cause the Yankees to lose the world series championship. Here are following trades he fail - Nothing getting Dylan Cease or Jack Flaherty , getting reliever Tanner Scott. Fail to get Jason Hader in the off season
Bad trades - Joey Gallo, Frank Montas and Giancarlo Stanton prior years except 2024
Game 1 Freddy got Nestor, that’s not giving it away Freddy earned it. Game 5 3 errors now thats giving it away!
Hahahaha sacred grounds of Yankees stadium? That is rich 😂😂😂😂
Dodgers rule! Talent unmatched. ❤
Game five, eight inning, I’d have brought in Weaver to start the inning.
Aren't team owners all about business when it comes to signing players? Why players can't be the same? Are you giving Soto this level of scrutiny because he is a member of a racial minority? Would you do the same if we were talking about Jeter or other white player? Be honest with yourselves about your bias
The race card has zero to do with any of this and to think it does is quite alarming
I think ppl love him and their feelings are hurt bro lol they were basically told he has no emotional allegiance to this team
This is what the Hal 'im not my Father ' Steinbrenner Yankees are its starts with him
