Just remember about the "Cohen tax." It's cute to talk about money now, but remember that in order to keep soto,the Yankees will have to defer most of that money, and that's not going to happen without mlb allowing the Mets to do the same with future contracts or legal action will be taken. No Ohtani treatment for soto.
@@loualbino5536Why do you describe the notion as "cute"? Does the possibility of Soto resigning with the NYY upset you that much? You seem to take glee at how the Dodgers signed Ohtani with the ridiculous deferments. Strange. Judging by your words you could be a normal Mets fan already given up this year. you could be an Astros fan lashing out due to overreacting to the season's first series. They'll be fine. Judging by your apparent glee over the Dodgers accomplishing what likely won't happen again I ask: Are the Dodgers going after Juan Soto? I would say it sounds ridiculous but nothing seems to be too much for that ownership group. Are the Dodgers the exception? They could surely work their deferment magic with Soto. Say one million annually until 2524? 👀🤔🙃
Unparalleled discipline in the box by Soto. Outstanding defensive plays in the bottom half by Berti and Dugie. Gleyber taking 2nd on a lefty was clutch. Bombers brought the brooms to Houston for some spring cleaning! Love it.
Lost in the Soto at-bat was Gleyber’s baserunning. That stolen base was absolutely massive and transformed that at-bat into a high-leverage one; he then breaks for third on the payoff pitch, allowing him to score without a play at the plate. He created a golden opportunity for Soto, who obviously took advantage. What a win and what a series. Give Soto a blank check and the key to the city.
Contrary to popular belief, Juan Soto is not actually a human. His ancestors are from an exoplanet deep in outer space, and his family moved to the Dominican Republic on Earth because they saw that that country loves baseball. Then Juan was born while they were on vacation there and decided to stay on Earth because he could be insanely good there.
Enjoy it for now. See how y'all will do in October if we meet again. By then we'll have Verlander, McCullers, and Garcia in the rotation and our bullpen will be on point as well too despite the rough start. I ain't worried.
@@Lippe94 Yeah. It happens a few times a year usually but literally a few times haha. Usually teams split or someone takes 3 out of 4 most of the time.
And to think they didn’t give up that much to get him (King being the biggest piece). If the Yankees sign Soto to an extension, it can be an even bigger bargain.
Soto looked otherworldly in this entire series, he made the big plays when he needed to, and helped out his offense any way he could. He is, without a doubt, HIM.
Soto .529 BA 9H 1K in his first 4 games in Pinstripes. He just that dude and hoping he'll sign an extension with the Yankees. GO YANKEES!!! #CHASEFOR28
Both Andrew Benintendi and Alex Verdugo have played for the Red Sox and Yankees. They've also both saved a game against the Astros with a nice catch in left field in Huston.
love the energy and swag verdugo and soto have brought the yankees. and how about Berti with that diving stop to save the game in the 9th. love to see it
Hats off to the wizard Matt Blake, who year after year turns a cast of random guys into to a top tier bullpen staff. When you see how the other half lives (Houston’s pen blew all 4 games) then you come to appreciate your own position a lot more. Also his work with Schmidt last year and over the offseason is bearing fruit. Clarke was cooking today, until he wasn’t, but a decent base to build on in future starts.
Not a John Sterling fan because of his contrived phrases calling games, but here he sounds good. Genuine excitement and emotion just comes through. Just call em like you see em. Don’t force it. Nice work. 👍
Soto is unreal. Forget about his clutch hits but his eye is one of the best I’ve ever seen. He doesn’t even offer at anything outside the zone. Once Judge heats up and we get DJ back, the potential is insane. I can’t wait! What a start.
Now that Soto is a Yankee, he is sharply focusing for the first time in years, and it is quite uplifting... The Bleacher Creatures strength will surely help him become the Monster from the Bronx that devoured the East...
@@martyklestadt6766”bet” means that you are taking the bet, meaning she’s taking the position that the Astros will have more wins. How do you not know this?
I’m definitely pumped af about the sweep on the road. Looking at the standings seeing us 4-0 at the top and stros 0-4 at the bottom always good to see but we got off to a better start than the them the past 2 seasons and look how they ended it’s also first series of the year basically spring training, but hopefully that’s the case for a lot of our guys that still haven’t got it going aswell.
Yankees struggles with RISP and still pulled off a sweep. Defense, pitching, bullpen, timely hitting and Goato. That's what will drive this team to the top of the division
a great way to start 2024 season with Yankees sweeping the Astros in Minute Maid Park. Still the season has just begun. Stil 158 games to go. Also the kudos to Juan Soto in his first games wearing the pinstripes
The thing with Soto is that he is a patient hitter. He will make pitchers work and create better chances for the next batters. Yankees usually pick up guys that either hit homers or strike out. Soto does it all. Definitely an MVP season from him mark my words.
For years we seen the worst of hitters we had by striking out too much and just going for home run hits instead of getting hits to keep the line moving. Soto changes all of that in just four games. You can see the rest of hitters taking notes of his approach.
I've been a Yankee fan since the mid 60's. My dad took me to Yankee stadium many times. I got to watch Mantle towards the end of his career and was there to watch Bobby Murcer and Catfish Hunter pitch. I was also at the stadium during a Yankees Red Sox game when Reggie Jackson won the game late with a clutch hit.
Increíble, casi nunca veía a soto gozar tanto los hits y home runs que daba con SDG, parece que siempre quiso estar con los yankees😂 yo como dominicano no seguía ningún equipo pero ahora soy de los Yankees, este año si o si ganan la serie mundial🎉❤
Perhaps worst weekend in Houston sports history: 1) Astros get swept in 4 game series 2) Houston Cougars knocked out of NCAA tournament 3) Rockets lose and snap 11 game win streak 4) Scottie Scheffler loses Houston Open 5) Houston Gamblers lose UFL game
One thing right now that I think baseball fans of all teams can universally agree upon is that it’s a great day when the Astros lose. It doesn’t matter to who.
If Gleyber Torres didn’t steal second base in the 9th inning, this could have ended differently. Clutch stolen base thanks to Hader being predictable when he pitches. Juan Soto instantly became a game changer for the Yankees.
4th game for both teams like I mentioned before Soto has been the difference maker for this Yankees team this year. Astros with runners in scoring positions and can't drive them in really cost them this game. And don't mention the relief pitching hasn't been great either so Astros has some work to do. Yankees have some work to do also like Judge and Stanton.
Soto’s plate discipline is unreal man. Rarely ever gets cheated. Swings with the pitch too instead of trying to pull. Give him all the money he wants.
He's so fun to watch in the batter's box, just absolutely commanding the plate on every pitch. Unlike anybody I've ever seen.
Soto can have the nuclear codes if he wants too.
With Soto and Judge being joined by Jason "The Martian" Domingez and Spencer Jones arriving the Yankees outfield will be crazy.
Just remember about the "Cohen tax." It's cute to talk about money now, but remember that in order to keep soto,the Yankees will have to defer most of that money, and that's not going to happen without mlb allowing the Mets to do the same with future contracts or legal action will be taken.

Juan Soto is having more fun with the Yankees than with the Padres
Most definitely

Best signing in years for the Yankees by picking up Soto, only 25. NY will love him and he'll feed off that high energy environment.
And to think they didn’t give up that much to get him (King being the biggest piece). If the Yankees sign Soto to an extension, it can be an even bigger bargain.
It was a trade, but yes
They haven’t signed him cause it was a trade … they gonna have to pay up to keep him
@eriklaguira And us mets fans will make sure the Yankees can't defer any money paid to soto. Welcome to the steve cohen Tax Club.
Right. And I think he's the only one that can handle the pressure of playing in the Bronx
“Oh, is he good! Oh, do we love Soto!!”
John Sterling getting very excited!!
Juan Soto simply belongs in NY.
Man Verdugo finally got one of those diving balls. He's been hustling hard all series, nice to see him get that one and end this series with a win.
I think Verdugo may be playing too deep in left. Just a though.
Imagine hicks was dropping those lol
@@ThothGrowth or Jake Bauers and anyone who's not an outfielder being forced to slot in that spot
Imagine if we still had Cabrera out there? Verdugo makes those catches look easy!

He is, without a doubt, HIM.
Soto is the Astros´s slayer!
There's Juan Soto and then there's everyone else. Absolutely in a class all by himself just like Ohtani. He is HIM.

Soto is such a difference maker for this Yankees team. They sent a loud and clear message to the Astros that this season will be different
AWWWW Altuve spending time with his sons
So precious
Go Yankees, Soto on fire 🔥🔥🔥
John Sterling has sounded more energetic these first four games of the season than he has in a very long time!

Soto fan from his Nats days. He looks sooo much happier than he did in SD. I guess there really was something to that culture problem in SD.
U can get all the money u want, but tradition, culture, the whole environment around New York… u just can’t buy that and u won’t find it anywhere else
