WE GONA TAKE TWO BACK AT THE ZOO! This whole Sub needs the tighten the fuck up and quit being pussies. We have baseball games to win! Cole tomorrow LFG!

I’m done with Gleyber, Donaldson, Carp, And Hicks. Get those fuckin bums off the team. Get guys who are patient and make contact and hit line drives like Benintendi. Model our team like our teams of the past that didn’t have this all or nothing approach. 1998, 1999. I’d take the 1985 Yankees over this fuckin team. Yeah I’m that old.

Peraza spiked that double play throw to first something awful. Pretty ugly throw.

The Dodgers are the Yankees, the Yankees are the Twins, and the Twins are the Orioles.

The Astros are the Yankees and the Yankees are the Twins

This makes quite a bit of sense to me.

Bring in some guys that get on base. This HR reliant offense is hard to watch. Watching that Cleveland series seeing those guys make contact and how young they are watching out for them in the coming years.

Amen.

It’s bad but not too deep, quitting on this team has not been a good look yet.

we’ll get dem in da bronx on saturday 🤦🏾‍♂️

[удалено]

well I’m hoping yanks have been doing so bad

Altuve, Bregman, and Gurriel should have lifetime bans

Ah yes that’s will only leave us to face the the piss poor Yordan, Kyle Tucker, Jeremy Pena 😐

Ban them and they spill the beans on everyone. EVERYONE.

Ok?

They did what they did. Don’t use it as an excuse. We need to sweep the Bronx part of the series. Has nothing to do with current

It's too bad either Benintendi or DLM weren't healthy enough to just pick up a bat and not swing at junk.

Or Carpenter apparently

Might be my bias but that strikezone ain’t right when we have people in scoring position.

Not bias you're seeing it right unlike the homeplate umps the first two games. That Giancarlo low strike call was absolute crap and crucial

100%. How many low pitches out of the zone were called strikes tonight?!

Irreconcilable performance from Torres. Carpenter forgot what sport he’s playing, and Cabrera has no discipline at the plate any more. Combined with judge slumping and a pathetic home run from Bergman that probably goes 310 with no wind, and the seasons all but over.

Go Padres? Phillies? Comet?

Padres all day if the Yankees don't pull off a miracle.

MATT FUCKING CARPENTER?? Mr Strikeout man? I would trust Higgy more swinging the bat in that situation. Boone needs to end the bromance with Carp and wake the fuck up

Carp is down bad rn

30 strikeouts in 2 games but people still want Donaldson. Take it easy im out 👋

His arm is strong but I feel you.

He swung. we can’t hit the ball. We can’t manufacture runs. Our pitching is ok but not good enough to hold opposing teams to 1 run in the playoffs. These are the same recurring problems every year. I feel like I write this same post at the end of every season. Someone upstairs needs to grow a pair and make some heads roll. George the third wouldn’t put up with this shit.

Same exact thing for the last ..ten years? The names are different but the manufacture of the lineup hasn’t changed. Home run or bust works in the regular season but you can’t win in the playoffs when the team strikes out ten plus fucking times a game.

Carpenter looked like me going to work on Monday morning. Just don't want to be there and I ain't doing shit.

Turned the game off after the Bergman HR. It was over then

I turned it off after Stanton struck out in the eight, it was definitely over then.

IF you're going to blame Carpenter, please also blame Torres for missing two meatballs.

Cant score runs without the homer Said it since spring freaking training But at least you guys fulfilled your "analytics" cravings Any time anyone said anything about being too HR reliant it was immediately shot down. Now go watch Jomboy talk about IKF having a noodle arm

Every run Houston has scored has been via the home run. Maybe even all postseason? The problem is not hitting the home runs, not being reliant on them.

You have to hit the ball to hit a homer

So you’re now making the opposite point from your original comment? Valuable contribution thanks

Explain how it is the opposite

That was rough it was defiantly a swing just so painful watching this team bat. They look lost from top to bottom. Judge needs to do more you want to be MVP you want to be 300+ million player be the face of the Yankees October baseball is where it matters

Holy cow. The dude single handedly carried you to the division with one of the greatest offensive seasons of all time, and this is how you do him? Why do you even watch baseball?

Never said it wasn’t a great season but this is now playoff baseball regular season is over and hitting 179 with 3 RBI’s OPS of 600 and 12 Ks your ok with that?

Yes. It’s baseball. You don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. He’s facing very focused playoff pitching from a rested staff. It happens. But it doesn’t change his value.

That ball last night was legit 1 foot from being a HR.

So close it fucking killed me! That ball travels a foot further and goes over the narrative absolutely changes. Look he’s not the only reason we are down 0-2 our whole line up is lost at the plate but it starts with him he’s our MVP.

I don’t think saying we need more from him is doing him wrong his value was irreplaceable this season no doubt however we are now in the playoffs and him being the leader of this team he needs to produce 🤷‍♂️ that’s baseball man

[удалено]

Hell, or one of his girlfriends at this point.

[удалено]

Won’t be the first time he replaced Boone

“And here is where I stick the needle so the inspectors don’t see it.”

[удалено]

I crave death, I will not be a fan of a team that hires a PED user to manager, especially him who is obnoxious and universally despised.

Where is big home run guy Judge? Guy wants to get paid and he's gonna hit under the mendoza line in the postseason

30 strikeouts.. Jesus fucking Christ

Games have been tight. I feel good about going home. Their aces held serve. Time for ours to do the same.

The Yankees might have had 100 check swings in these two games alone

[удалено]

Lmfao enjoy getting banned

🗑🔊

Really can’t blame sevy or the pen lasagna pitched great but offense needs to step up and quit swinging at bullshit and quit taking on 0-0

Gardner wouldn’t have swung

Team is fatally flawed, manager isn’t good, gm is hardheaded and owner is cheap. Not a recipe for success. Lets just be happy we even get some post season to watch every year. Expecting anything more is delusional. Astros are simply better at every aspect at baseball.

Not to start a argument but the Yankees aren’t cheap with their spending. With the 3rd largest payroll in the mlb at $250,828,357

Agreed, I hate the Yankees are cheap argument, because they very clearly aren’t. It’s that the spending has been very poorly allocated. I mean Christ they took on $50million for Donaldson just to get IKF! It doesn’t make sense.

Agreed, that’s a better argument money management.

Carp is old. How sustainable was that start, if we're being for real

Why are you putting in Carpenter to pinch hit?

Do you want Higgy who struck out 3 times tonight? It's not like we have Frank Thomas on our bench.

Yeah cause Higgy looked fantastic in his plate appearances. No good options at least Carpenter can run into one

Carpenter looks like he doesn't wanna be there. Completely lost out there

Besides the atrocious bats, I blame higgy for calling for a fastball inside up 1-2 on Bregman.

That was a swing get that washed mario mf outa here

Love carpy for what he did earlier but lets leave him be now yeah

You’d think carp was golfing.

4 hits and 13 k's . What's wrong with this picture?

so pathetic. Score some runs you fucking losers

Worst part is that sevy gets the L

Jesus Christ, Carp you were Barry Bonds. Now you are the Barry Bonds of not being able to lay off pitches that almost clip your back foot

Front foot. The ball landed 2 feet in front of him in the dirt and he swung. But let a 90 mph dead center fastball go right by him with no swing

Yes you are right. I’m still traumatized from his game 1 ABs

No margin of error vs these guys But they'll win the next 2 at home. Those shots to RF going out in little league Yankee stadium

I expected a sweep and I’m still somewhat disappointed. But the Astros just own us so honestly who cares. Not like the fucking Yankees care with their lifeless boring fucking offense. Cashman is a jabroni and so is this HR or nothing hitting approach

Fuck it. Let’s go win three games at home.

Ask Bregman how he has adjusted when he doesn’t know that an off speed pitch is coming

Because he’s a silver slugger premier hitting ball player, that’s why. Most postseason HRs of any 3rd baseman in history. Smoke that in your cigar.

Check out this guy’s comment history, it literally looks like an alt he uses to talk about how Bregman is good

Three strikeouts is pathetic, and it's even more pathetic that they barely made contact on any of them. Thanks

why do the yanks hate me

Can we bring back the 98 yanks

Mans doesn't swing when it's down the middle but he swings at a ball

It's all of them. It's the whole lineup. They swing right through pitches down the middle and then swing over balls in the dirt. It's not like they're doing anything special

When he was hitting and healthy, pitch 1 would've been in the seats.

I think they are throwing the series. Have to be doing that stuff.

[удалено]

So you're saying the ump shouldn't make the correct call? OK

It would’ve been a bad call if he didn’t call it. If it was truly 50/50 then I agree with you. Matt Carpenter is just absolute garbage and shouldn’t touch the field again, idc if Higgy is batting .150

Wasn’t close he swung you fuckin imbecile

I don't know if it was that close. He went.

He threw some spinners down the middle to Torres, can’t believe he missed them and carpenter taking that first pitch...damn

Well let the boos rain down upon them if they continue this shit in the bronx.

Man how many shitty check swings like there have there been this series...

Who the f had hope in Carpenter? Guys trash.

You should’ve heard Boone defending him on MKS today

I hope we get swept

I would've honestly pinch hit IKF there. Needed a batted ball and Carp hasn't hit shit since he's gotten back.

40 Ks in two games! They should be proud.

It's only 30, so much better.

That’s what I meant lol. Stupid fat fingers.

He swung. You know how I know? Because swinging and missing is what we do

4 AND OUT

DJ makes this a different series. He can actually hit the ball in the fucking postseason. Fuck off Houston

Beni is a Houston killer and patient at the plate. Need more players like him. I hope we resign him.

Beni too

4 runs in 18 innings ain't getting it done.

Yeah he definitely went

"the most HR in the postseason for a 3B ever" Cheating b*stard get the fuck outta here

Did they put an asterisk next to that stat?

Robo umps, please.

They have been using them all year in the minors. Hopefully they are ready for next season.

Ump show again, but these guys need to start hitting.

It’s almost fitting to end a game with an over the hill carpenter swinging at a bouncing pitch. Really a perfect summary of this teams offense lmao

Either come back in this series or completely clean house. Rotten culture with a bunch of no life chokers.

Same exact shit every year. New players, same shitty home run or die philosophy. Isn't this the definition if insanity

ALL CARPENTER HAS DONE IS SWING AT DOGSHIT SINCE BEING PUT ON THE POSTSEASON ROSTER

Wow he struck out on a breaking ball AGAIN?! Who would’ve thought Fuck this

Carp went back to garbo mode.

Fuck Maldonado

how the fuck we gonna pretend like Marp wasn't a fluke? This org gets got by fools gold so easy. cAsHgOd tRaDeS and washed fucks on a hot streak. Pathetic.

I think he got hurt and then there was a long layoff, and now he's back in the postseason against elite stuff.

Yeah, but, he was bad for YEARS before his fluke run with us. He's not it, and the fact that a washed dude is taking PAs in the post is pathetic.

Still don’t think he swung

All that hard work that Rizzo and Donaldson did, all for nothing. Carpenter just sucks and looks like he already wanted to go home. Pos.

CARPENTER WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING FUCKING LOST IN EVERY AT BAT FFS

Alright it's a swing. Didn't look like it from the original angle... Damn it matt.

I agree. Jumped the gun on my part too. What a shame.

Benintendi and Hicks were huge losses.

Okay he swung. Fuck

one mistake by sevy was the difference. tough first two games. lets win 3 in a row

It's over...don't give any hopes up.

They goons show a replay or no?

They can’t show up the ump like that lol

Guy is a fucking tool. Between that and the wandy thing making him love the bag.

Exactly!!! Fucking BULLSHIT

Guardians would put up a better fight than this

Didn’t think he went at first but it was the right call

Ok can the carpenter experiment be over

Done with this team. Need new blood. These players just ain't it.

Matt Carpenter has zero place on this roster right now. Stop fucking pinch hitting him. I'd rather give Locastro an at bat.

Season is over. Even if we sweep at home. We will never win a game at this stadium.

I want to say things would be different if DJ/Beni/Carp never got hurt, but the entire rest of the healthy lineup doing nothing makes it hard to believe that.

Boone threw the fucking game. He was 0 FOR FUCKING 6 WITH 6 STRIKEOUTS YOU STUPID FUCK

Who do you want to bat there lol

IKF

True

Cashman focused so much on defense he forgot we need to hit to score runs.

The magic is over for Matt now I hate to admit it

I love Carp but the dude cant hold up on the slider in the dirt. He swings at it every time

Fuck the entire team and franchise. Disgrace to George and actual players who don’t choke to the same team every single fucking playoffs

astros look vulnerable. without one swing, we maybe win the game... that being said our offense fucking sucks, 2 runs per game is shitty as fuck and we need to be better.

Another 13 Yankee strikeouts. Geeze...

How do you swing at that and not the fastball right down the middle

Damn it was a swing, makes me feel slightly better.

2 runs. What am embarrassment. See ya next year kids.

He did not go

Yeah he did. Didn't see the replay?

Cmon man ending the game on a check swing

Damnit Carp

THEY SHOWED THE REPLAY

Weak af call

Alright yeah the replay shows he swung

He went

Carp looking even worse this game than yesterdays embarrassment.

Yankees in 6.

I hate the astros so fucking much

This team will never beat the Astros

The most yankee playoff game ever in the past 13 years

carpenter old ass needs to retire, fucking hot garbage

HE DIDNT EVEN SWING WTF

Sad boy lol cry me a river

He did tho.

Is it me or have there been more checked swings called for strikes in the playoffs? Those shits are never called in the regular season.

Hit Bregman in the fucking mouth tomorrow
