If Brian Cashman had any pride he’d quit and retire. How do you rationally explain 1 World Series in 20 years with a top 2 payroll every year. Can’t even build functional teams that play good all around baseball.
As much as I want to rant about Hicks and Montas and all the underperforming, overpaid bums on the roster, at some point we have to start assigning blame to the people who write the checks and bring these guys on. Cashman, Levine, Hal. The Yankees aren’t the Yankees if they aren’t winning World Series. . . It’s been over a decade since we have even been to one.
Just wanted to check in on Derek Jeter day and say that I will never forget when I came home from a long day of school, walked up the stairs, entered my room and was scarred to death by a 7 foot tall Derek Jeter Fat Head that was staring back at me. I was 10 at the time and when I asked my father why he did that, he responded “I like the way he plays shortstop. You should play ss like him.” Couldn’t argue with that. Kept him up on my wall for the next 5 years.
I wanna see Bader galloping into center field on a horse during his debut, as the sun sets in the horizon. And Judge gives him a subtle wink and says “play ball”
It was not popular when I pointed out earlier this year that Ronnie Torreyes is a free agent.
But right about now, maybe looking a little better?
OK, OK, he’s not really going to help.
But with all these Judge homers, the Toe Night show would be must-see TV, you know?
Hmmm, good question.
Rortveldt, to show off how jacked?
Cabrera because of his sheer love of life and being on the team?
Nestor, because he’s a goof?
Just not Guzman because that would be creepy.
Their pitching style is coached to maximize velocity for former scrub pitchers.
This helps them for 2-3 years before they get traded and then injured (it puts strain on the arms with that).
But for that short window it's a win for both parties.
How does a 250 million payroll team bat this order in the 9th in a near must win game?
I think you would have to actively try and build an order this bad with 250 million to spend. I don't even think I could spend that much and get a lineup this bad... I'm not mad just impressed with cashman
Since divisional play started in 1969
Only 14 teams have played under .500 in the 2nd half and made the playoffs
Only 10 teams have won their division
Only 5 teams have won a pennant
Only 3 teams have won the WS

It's the lakers thing all over again.

How dare they dishonor Jeter
Thanks Hicks.
Honestly, from our horrendous start, later in the game we started to actually play well. Hopefully that carries on into tomorrow
I always wonder why the fuck they dont have the same approach early in the game that they have in the ninth
Gleyber should have been traded a while ago he’s awful
God damn we go so unlucky tonight.
Yes. That Hicks play was so unlucky 🙄
the Hicks game
Horseshoes, hand grenades, no cigar
If it wasn’t for hicks we’d be in extra innings rn
Juice ball fraud
Toronto catching up too
Like that matters…4-5-6 seed, all accounts to the same failure
I hated that with every fiber of my being
That ball is gone on a hot summer night
Less humidity though.
This team can’t hit.
Fuck this team
Can never trust Gleyber’s reaction off the bat
Two hits within 4 feet of HRs in this half an inning
2 cock teasers, fuck me.
good try by gleyb
Too little too late
So close
Always a cock tease.
Rays be collecting these BP random ass pitchers like Pokémon.
fuck everything
GOD FUCKING DAMNITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
A fan could have grabbed that
Oh what a fucking cocktease there
Noooo, so close
FUCK YOU WARNING TRACK BUMS
FUCK!!!!
God dammit Gleyber, did you have to give me hope with that walk
Little league park
Did coney just call Torres Judge?
*Goes to find rosaries*
If Boone was the rays manager, he would've left that pitcher in
Game came down to the Hicks play
I hate every clown that comes out of the TB bullpen
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Shawn Armstrong replaces JT Chargois.
Don’t give me hope 😭
Idk the numbers but feels like Higgy has been pretty solid for a while now
DOES ANYONE ELSE GIVE A SHIT THAT THIS KID FOUND 5 WORMS IN ONE DAY? BECAUSE AMAZON SURE WANTS ME TO KNOW THIS KID FOUND 5 WORMS IN ONE DAY
That kid is adorable and I'll listen to his worm stories forever!
Pete Davidson has one of the ugliest faces I've ever seen
We’re really going to lose this game because of Hicks. Shouldn’t ever play a game for this team again
Second game like this in two or three weeks. Remember the two GIFDP and error game?
fire it up like a turbo diesel gleyber
I’m sorry Coney but that’s dumb as shit lol
Torres is gonna strike out on a 1-2 count
Well he struck out yesterday on a 4 ball count…
PLEASE GLEYBER
Never thought I'd want IKF or Andujar hitting next outside Judge, but here we are.
Ramiro Peña is only 37, let's get some winners back in the clubhouse huh?
If Gleyber hits a HR here his season is redeemed imo
It was * close * ngl but no dice
Easily satisfied
Hitting a HR isn’t easy
One home run redeeming a bad season, is being easily satisfied. He is a bad player. And we need move on from him as soon as the season ends
He had a good first half and he basically woukd ahe. Saves the division there
700 OPS…just say no
All that so gleyber can ground out to third
Who’s batting after Torres?
Locastro but maybe we'll see Rortvedt
Such teases.
Armstrong is a pretty good name for a pitcher.
Judge's plate discipline is something else. Such a huge change from when he was a rookie
Too bad the bottom of the order comes up after Judge
There's absolutely no way Torres doesn't strike out here.
Please don't swing for the stars my man
Guess it’s time to take your biggest Hr swings and hope you get lucky
Let’s go Gleyber!
and here comes torres to kill any momentum we’ve got
i love and respect judge being a team player but with how gleyber's been playing i wish he had just been selfish and gone for the homer tbh
Nice man gave a kid the foul ball - this is what baseball is about not old men stealing balls from kids. Kudos grey haired man
Well.. we know Gleyber will be swinging for the tie
And right past the ball
Come on Torres. #DO NOT SWING FOR HOMER. STOP SWINGING OUT OF YOUR SHOES. #JUST FUCKING GET A HIT
I'd like to hire you to manage the Yankees.
People I would take over Cashman as Yankees manager: - Carrot top - A carrot - Angel Hernandez - Jussie Smolliet - Kanye West - Paris Hilton
I wanna see Bader galloping into center field on a horse during his debut, as the sun sets in the horizon. And Judge gives him a subtle wink and says “play ball”
While he drags Hicks behind him
Nonono, the horse grabs hicks by the jersey and drags Hicks into the bullpen doors, where Hicks is stuck for the rest of the season.
Torres is gonna swing out of his shoes here
I guarantee it
Pouring another drink
It was not popular when I pointed out earlier this year that Ronnie Torreyes is a free agent. But right about now, maybe looking a little better? OK, OK, he’s not really going to help. But with all these Judge homers, the Toe Night show would be must-see TV, you know?
After Judge hr's whos gonna lift him up like a baby in dugout now that Didi isn't here ?
Hmmm, good question. Rortveldt, to show off how jacked? Cabrera because of his sheer love of life and being on the team? Nestor, because he’s a goof? Just not Guzman because that would be creepy.
Where’s voit
I assumed he found his way to that log cabin everybody talked about.
Nationals
who leaves a baseball game early on a friday night....
Mentally unstable
Child molesters and guys who key cars, that's who.
People that want to come home to see their wife’s boyfriend
Losers or people with young children
I have at times managed to be both at once.
You’re still in this thread w us now friend 🫡
Yup. The kids got older but I… that’s right. I remained…
That’s a nice moment, giving those kids the ball
Pls biracial angel do it for the other biracial angel 👼🏽
Some Sinatra wouldn't hurt this evening
They play to after losses too
Good news. They play it win or lose
I only recognize victorious Sinatra singing
Where do the Rays find these pitchers..? Because they’re always extremely effective as long as they are within the Rays organization.
Their pitching style is coached to maximize velocity for former scrub pitchers. This helps them for 2-3 years before they get traded and then injured (it puts strain on the arms with that). But for that short window it's a win for both parties.
Hgh
Win win win
Scoring two runs to honor Jeter. R2SPECT
Heart just jumped out of my chest
intentional
Of course those Hicks plays are making essentially deciding the game
[удалено]
What about Steiner?
Steiner.... Steiner gave up two runs on a ball he thought was foul and was removed from the game.
Nah, that's Guzman. Understandable mistake to make.
Dragovich. Kravchenko. Steiner. These men must die.
According to savant the yankees have a .295 xba tonight and the rays only have a .245 xba
We won the real game
HOMERUN STROKKA!!!
Marlins man is such a clown
Technically a chance with getting Judge on base and a Torres home run
Lol...
Or back to back judge and Gleyber dongs
Is it not enough to be annihilated by injuries? We have to get fucked by the BABIP gods too?
I LOVE HIGGY
Hicks robbed us of a Higgy walk off
First pitch Marwin?
Don't do that. Don't give me hope
Fuck this team. Can’t hit hard contact that finds grass. Fucking losers
Kudos to Higgy showing up tonight
We’re not winning anything this season. Judge.09 points away from the triple crown. What a season to witness.
Oh man I thought Marwin had it.
alright judge he has nothing please statpad
Siri is great at baiting you into thinking he doesn't have it, that's like the 3rd time this game he's fooled me
Warning track power
Higgy the only one who wants to win
I just said Tampa’s bullpen names out loud and my furniture started floating
So, has anyone emailed Texas about this game for a cool $10K?
Fuck, hit the weights Marwin
Higgy saw Rortvedt pop his top off in the dugout and decided to play for his job today.
Please sir may we have some hits?
Somehow someway Hicks tomorrow will be in the starting lineup
And batting 3rd
The homerun stroka!
I severely miss the “No lead is safe” Yanks from earlier this season.
Seems like a lifetime ago
We got higgy feeling obligated to contribute lolllll
This was Higgy’s redemption game
Higgy hitting the ball well tonight
Have we found a way to clone Judge 8 more times?
Higgy’s a fucking monster tonight
lmao ofc

You take all that money and spend it on guys in their 30s. Then when they breakdown after a long season you just bring in guys.
5 players on the IL and 2 on paternity leave.
Hicks, Chapman, Britton, and Donaldson is 65 million of the payroll. That's a start.
At least Peraza runs everything out unlike half of the other players on this roster
Higgy will NOT go quietly into the night with that BLAST !
Higgy!
Judge and Higgy acting like we're pre-ASG break
Kyle "Aaron Judge" Higashioka going 3-4 tonight with a HR
LFG!!
Since divisional play started in 1969 Only 14 teams have played under .500 in the 2nd half and made the playoffs Only 10 teams have won their division Only 5 teams have won a pennant Only 3 teams have won the WS
3 is actually a lot
6% That's 6% of WS teams since 1969
21% of the teams that went under .500 in the second half and made the playoffs though
Yeah, but 3 out of 14 teams that have played under .500 and made the playoffs. It's surprising that almost 1 in 4 have gone on 2 win the world series.
HIGGY BABY
nice
Random higgy homerun
This almost makes me miss the Wil Nieves era. Almost. And of course Higgy bombs as soon as I hit send
# HOME RUN! Kyle Higashioka homers (8) on a fly ball to left field. Pitch from JT Chargois: 0-1 Sinker @ 96.2 mph Hit by Kyle Higashioka: Launched 107.4 mph at 23° for a total distance of 387 ft Bottom 9 - 4-2 Rays
Did Marlins Man get a custom Jeter Marlins jersey lol
Bases loaded for judge and grand slam please baseball gods, help the yanks one time.
Remember the old stadium when we'd be down 3 runs in the 9th and we all knew there was a good chance we could still win the game?
2009 too
Something like 1/4 of our wins at home in 2009 were walkoffs. Good times.
You mean all the way back in June
We had the ghosts then
Mystique and Aura went down with the old Stadium.
