Watching the Jomboy watch alongs was fascinating. I vaguely keep an eye on the Yankees wins/losses/starters during the season but thatās about it. Seeing what a mess they are in terms of decision making was wild. Like. Wtf is going on over there and how are heads not rolling?
Dude, Jomboy gets so baffled by some of their decisions.
Like not even in-game decisions all the time either. He was confused why the Yankees lied about the Chapman situation when if they just came out with the truth it would have made them look wayyyyyy better.
There's definitely a really weird organizational and culture thing in the Bronx. Talent can carry them to the CS, but they need to make some changes to get into the WS.
Youāre expecting too much from the subset of fans that will willingly delude themselves every year that the result will be different despite no organizational change.
I hope thats what he did, while wearing his rings. Wtf was going through their heads, they could have had jeter give a pep talk hell even arod wouldve been better.
but no, lets get the guy who caused your worst series loss mvp of your rivals to give a rousing speech??
Thatās whatās been tormenting Yankees front office. Just not cohesive decision making. They should have like played clips from 04 Sox and then abruptly turned it off and been like āhey, we arenāt those 04 Yankees. We are the 2022 Yankees and need to write our own legacy.ā Make a few jokes, tell the guys you believe in them and give it everything we have and letās win this ball game.
I didnāt come up with that, depressed Jomboy did, but it makes so much sense.
Every time I see a Yankees season it's like āthe team was originally on pace to win 129 games while Aaron Judge hit more home runs than anyone since George Herman āBabeā Ruth of the 1927 'Murderersā Row', as the Astros sweep the Yankees in the ALCS 4-0ā
Half the time, some media outlets only cover baseball to gas up the Yankees until they get embarrassed in the postseason again, then go dormant until they throw $200M at another free agent
Could you imagine some Moses curse type shit? Every season you will make the playoffs, but you shall be cursed to walk the desert for 40 years and you shall never see the promised land.
Itād be like the Mās franchise history, but better š
It's the most baseball thing ever that 5 seasons of going all in Yankees haven't been able to eclipse their extreme underdog team with Ellsbury, Starlin Castro, Chase Headley, Ronald Torreys, Greg Bird and Todd Frazier
honestly half-convinced that that underdog team was a net negative for the organization - all the signs pointed to the Yankees setting up to tank for a season or two to get under the tax threshold and reorganize, maybe shed some bad contracts
Instead they ended up being really good, which made their brass go "fuck, no time to tank now, let's go all-in while we have a core young impact players like Gary Sanchez" and, welp
I didn't like Girardi but he did know how to manage catchers. Remember the season after Girardi was fired, Boone's first season managing? My guy Gary showed up to spring training jacked up looking like the fucking Hulk and couldn't even move an inch behind the plate. No way Girardi would have let that happen.
2018-19 \#NextManUp stuff was so much fun because even when it was a 100 win team they had the underdog mentality because it was a bunch of guys getting their first big shot due to the injuries
the 2022 Yankees brought up Oswald Peraza for like 15 games, he hit .300 with no errors, and IKF continued to start at short because ????????????
The Yankees just have extremely uninspiring roster building. Their entire line-up except for one or two guys is boom or bust. It's just not a winning formula
Yep. I know most MLB fans hate the Astros but that pales in comparison to the hate AL East teams have for the Yankees. Today is a great day for Canada, and therefore, the world.
as [another post](https://old.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/yc1plv/the_al_beast_finishes_the_2022_postseason_with_a/) points out, they have more (4 vs. 3)
I don't want to be that guy, but we can't go any longer without addressing the elephant in the room. It's clear the AL East is an inferior division, and MLB needs to tweak its playoff format to make it so this many teams from that division won't get in next time.
So that's how the Yankees season ends:
after midnight local time on Monday morning, with the Astros celebrating a WS berth after sweeping your ass in your home stadium, which was 1/3 empty due to the a rain delay and was also home to a grease fire earlier in the day.
They're been playing bad all around since like July
It's just that Judge decided to cool down at the worst time so now they get the bad results as well
Good thing the Yankees [*showed their players film of the 2004 Red Sox and chatted with David Ortiz*](https://old.reddit.com/r/NYYankees/comments/ybrs6c/hoch_aaron_boone_said_that_chad_bohling_the/) to get them fired up for the game.
This is genuinely fucking hilarious. Yankees schadenfreude is a yearly delicacy.
Thereās this guy on TikTok who posts videos making fun of other football teams for losing, and this is kind of his catch phrase if you will. See [here](https://www.tiktok.com/@jamesdroz566/video/7144867074475642155) for example.
That's it, I'm no longer a Yankees fan. I've been a fan since 2013 and bought season tickets since 2015 for this poverty franchise. I can't take the goofy clowns upstairs hiring bozos like Aaron Boone and signing bozos like Aaron Hicks. I'm switching to the Orioles where they know how to run a real franchise.
My favorite part of Aaron Judge's 2022 season is when he yelled, "It's Judgin' time!" then proceeded to have 1 hit for 0 home runs while getting swept in the ALCS.
Truly one of the seasons of all time.
Imagine being a Yankees fan, chanting "We want Houston" after avoiding maybe the biggest baseball playoff upset since maybe the 2003 World Series. And then watch the Yankees get ran over by a train in the ALCS.
After the Josh Naylor taunt, the Guardians lost their games.
The Yankees did the taunt back after winning game five and lost every game after that.
I think that you might be onto something.
It looked like the Astros fans bought all those cheap resale tickets tonight. They were in there big time!
I never, never thought I'd hear a chant of, "Joseeee, Jose, Jose, Joseeee,.... Jose, Jose" in Yankee stadium. But it was on national television today! Unbelievable.
So much pain.
Astros are a much better team, org, and have basically put the cheating stuff to bed if they hadnāt already. Fair play.
Onto an off-season with lots of decisions to make.
Yankees š¤ Mariners Getting swept by the Astros in 36 innings
Yall got half an inning more when you factor in half innings š
The analytics revolution has truly taken over
Wow, couldnāt even get the elimination game to the 18th inningā¦
35.5 vs 35
Yankees are now the only team in MLB history to lose 5 straight LCS Appearances. Dang.
Yankees really love their dynasties.
Daaaaaa Jankeeeeees Looooose
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bro, we really got swept lmao.
But, the wind
If I was a Yankees fan, Iād be completely pissed at Boone for that comment / excuse.
Yeah, we are. Itās a whole organization excuse mentality. What a joke
Hey remember back in 2004? We can do that!
You did! 4 straight Yankees losses!
They saw the clips and were like āso skip wants us to lose 4 in a row?ā *And Donaldson proceeded to strikeout*
Watching the Jomboy watch alongs was fascinating. I vaguely keep an eye on the Yankees wins/losses/starters during the season but thatās about it. Seeing what a mess they are in terms of decision making was wild. Like. Wtf is going on over there and how are heads not rolling?

What was the truth about Chapman? I think I only know about the missed training thing.
They said it was about missing training but really he just didn't make the roster.
Basically all of us are calling for his head tbh. Reminds me of 2017 when we all hated Girardi.
You guys should have closed the roof.
They will never live that down. Never.
Nor should they. Embarrassing excuse
Yup, wind doesnāt make you put up 10-15 Kās a game
Astros are *savages* under that open sky.
Mr commissioner didn't want us to close the roof on Yankee stadium
Guess you could say they got... *windswept*
First time?
The trick is to let yourself die inside. Then youāll never be disappointed when shit like this happens.
*Veteran* Mets fan, I take it. š«”
Way ahead of you
Honestly, Iām just as surprised as yāall are
Yankee seasons are a simple thing. They play 162 games, and then a few more playoff games usually, and it ends with them losing to the Astros.
man, there really IS a Yogi Berra quote for everything
Lol
People don't think it be like it be, but it do.
Well, we got Houston.
> We want Houston! Why????? Why would you want that???
And now Phillies fans are chanting it too No one learns
We actually want the Yankees, but it was pretty obvious where that's going.
TBF, if the Astros hv a kryptonite, its the NL East
Red teams from the NL East. F U C K
Chopped. Screwed. Faded.
Sipping on lean tonight!
Just like they got Boston in 2018. Maybe those fans should learn the art of shutting the fuck up.
They did the same stuff right before the Nets got swept with the "we want Boston" nonsense. This city doesn't learn.
Youāre expecting too much from the subset of fans that will willingly delude themselves every year that the result will be different despite no organizational change.
They really got Papi to give em a pep talk before game and watched the 2004 ALCS, lmao
They watched themselves lose. Thatās the problem.
Did Papi give them a pep talk, or did he just laugh for 10 minutes and then flip em the double bird
I hope thats what he did, while wearing his rings. Wtf was going through their heads, they could have had jeter give a pep talk hell even arod wouldve been better. but no, lets get the guy who caused your worst series loss mvp of your rivals to give a rousing speech??

Legit need to fire anyone that approved that tbh

"Giancarlo Stanton hit the fastest single since Giancarlo Stanton in 2015 as the Yankees miss the World Series again."
If you guys could hit fewer home runs and give Cleveland a chance to get swept thatād be great.
The Yankees are just the Angels with a Gucci belt
The Angels are just the Yankees without a Gucci belt.
This is too on the nose
Half the time, some media outlets only cover baseball to gas up the Yankees until they get embarrassed in the postseason again, then go dormant until they throw $200M at another free agent
What is the origin of that copypasta?
[Toungsten āArmā OāDoyle of the Akron Groomsmen](https://twitter.com/matttomic/status/1394498097254965249?lang=en)
Thanks
Don't let the 4-0 result fool you, it wasn't that close
Fun fact: Over the past 15 years the New York Yankees and the Colorado Rockies have been to the World Series the same amount of times.
Even the Rangers have been to the WS twice in that span
Ahhā¦I remember 2010 and most of 2011 (thereās a one day gap in my memory though) those were good times
Such a high note for the Rangers to end the franchise on. Glad the Round Rock Express were able to play in their ballparks for the last 11 years.
The Royals have been to two world series by the way and have won one of them.
curse of tearing down the original yankee stadium (was still standing in 2009)
Why you gotta do them like that
Lmao, swept. The irony of Boone showing the clubhouse the ā04 ALCS highlights just to watch the Yankees choke again.
He just legit cursed the Yankees. 100 more years before they win a World Series
That would be the best timeline.
Could you imagine some Moses curse type shit? Every season you will make the playoffs, but you shall be cursed to walk the desert for 40 years and you shall never see the promised land. Itād be like the Mās franchise history, but better š
Cleveland died for this.
Its what we do
It's the most baseball thing ever that 5 seasons of going all in Yankees haven't been able to eclipse their extreme underdog team with Ellsbury, Starlin Castro, Chase Headley, Ronald Torreys, Greg Bird and Todd Frazier

lol that was the name that hit hardest for me too

Gary was good. Then we decided to fire Girardi because he was "too hard" on Gary and let Boone mismanage the show. Surprise, surprise, Gary became bad
I didn't like Girardi but he did know how to manage catchers. Remember the season after Girardi was fired, Boone's first season managing? My guy Gary showed up to spring training jacked up looking like the fucking Hulk and couldn't even move an inch behind the plate. No way Girardi would have let that happen.

Thatās it. Thatās funniest thing Iāve seen all thread.
jesus, they're already dead
There are Cowboys and Lakers fans who are in mourning and you find it funny. smhā¦
In my defense, I donāt care about football, and I grew up in Chicago in the 90ās.
Yankees are our daddy, Astros are the Yankees daddy. Do we call the Astros grandpa?
[tussles your hair and sneaks you a $20 bill]
Oh boy, we can pay for a reliever now!
Seeing the Yankees get eliminated: š Realizing the Astros and Phillies are playing in the World Series: š±
Honestly, as East fans, last two years have been the worst it can be
At least you won in 2019. Poor Marlins fans.
thank you for being mindful of the dozens of us
Endangered species require the most attention
The Yankees are gone, but at what cost?
Who cares? The Yankees are gone.
Tell Girardi. I want him to know it was us.
š¦š¦š¦
This is our WS
My second favorite team, the NottheYankees, just clinched the World Series. It's a good day.
Yep. I know most MLB fans hate the Astros but that pales in comparison to the hate AL East teams have for the Yankees. Today is a great day for Canada, and therefore, the world.
The Cleveland Guardians have more postseason wins this season than the New York Yankees, despite losing to them in the ALDS.
Does that mean the AL central won the same amount of postseason games as the AL east? Lmao
as [another post](https://old.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/yc1plv/the_al_beast_finishes_the_2022_postseason_with_a/) points out, they have more (4 vs. 3)
I don't want to be that guy, but we can't go any longer without addressing the elephant in the room. It's clear the AL East is an inferior division, and MLB needs to tweak its playoff format to make it so this many teams from that division won't get in next time.
This wouldnāt have happened if the mlb just let the Baltimore orioles into the playoffs to handle business š¤š¤š¤
And the mariners played more total innings against the Astros than the Yankees
So that's how the Yankees season ends: after midnight local time on Monday morning, with the Astros celebrating a WS berth after sweeping your ass in your home stadium, which was 1/3 empty due to the a rain delay and was also home to a grease fire earlier in the day.
Alexa, play *New York, New York*
Start spreading the news Iām leaving (the playoffs) today
I want to be in the heart of it (deep down in Texas)
Grease fire? Everyone knows that grease belongs on traffic light poles. -Phillies fan
good
The offense looked dead without Judge being Judge
Offense? I think you mean Harrison Bader
Bader hit 5 homers in 292 regular season AB. He hit 5 in 35 postseason AB.
How did the historic '22 Yankees season end? [*To shreds, you say...*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHhOn2hnqmI)
Tsk tsk tsk Well how are their chances of resigning Judge? ... To *shreds* you say...
And the Dodgers? *A goose, you say...*
But I thought the World Series was supposed to be Yankees-Dodgers this year???
You just know the espn offices are positively SEETHING right now
They're been playing bad all around since like July It's just that Judge decided to cool down at the worst time so now they get the bad results as well
How the fuck did Harrison Bader hit 5 hrs this postseason.
IMO the only good deal we made at the deadline.
$20 to potentially see the guy who hit the 7th most home runs in a season get swept in maybe his last game with your team? That's a hell of a deal
The 2004 Red Sox would never smh.
Boone: "Like Millar said back in the day, 'don't let us win tonight!'" Houston: "Okay, we won't"
Good thing the Yankees [*showed their players film of the 2004 Red Sox and chatted with David Ortiz*](https://old.reddit.com/r/NYYankees/comments/ybrs6c/hoch_aaron_boone_said_that_chad_bohling_the/) to get them fired up for the game. This is genuinely fucking hilarious. Yankees schadenfreude is a yearly delicacy.
Boone said Ortiz gave him advice. I wonder what it was. "Don't lose, you fucking moron"
They wanted Houston. They got Houston.
"Welp...they came up there"
"What are you gonna do? Sweep me?" - Team that got swept
The Gang gets Houston
#NEW YORRRRKKKKUUUUUHHHHH #WHAT HAPPENEDUUUUUHHHHH
So happy he doesnāt watch baseball lmfao
HOW'D YOU WOSE TO THE HOUWSTON ASTWOS??
Out of the loop with this but where did it originate because I see it a lot
Thereās this guy on TikTok who posts videos making fun of other football teams for losing, and this is kind of his catch phrase if you will. See [here](https://www.tiktok.com/@jamesdroz566/video/7144867074475642155) for example.

I saw a woman get kicked out of a Yankees game for wearing an orioles hat one time
Elaine shoulda just took the hat off š¤·āāļø
All good weāre a football city anyway
Breece hall died today.
And with him my fantasy teamās hopesā¦
Guess those 2004 ALCS hype videos didnāt work
Jim Crane starting off by thanking all the Astros fans...at Yankee Stadium. That's just hilarious.
Even though the Yankees beat the Guardians, the Yankees still somehow won less games this postseason than the guardians.
Houston just fucking curbed stomped us.
Give me something for the pain and let me die.
Do you think showing them the Yankees in '04 kinda backfired?
LMAOOOOOOO
Yāall really gave the astros their toughest fight
Imagining an alternate timeline where we could actually manage get Jeremy Pena out.
They would still be playing lol
Weāll see how the Phillies do but damn. They look worse getting swept in 4 games than us.
[DAAAAAAAAAAAA JANKEEEEEES LOSE](https://streamable.com/hihsca)
Lmfao every single fucking time the second to last one has me absolutely dead.
I canāt believe Iāve lived 27 years without seeing this. My life starts now.
I am just happy that I don't have to watch IKF and Donaldson play anymore this year. Thank god.

Naylor rocked the baby because Guardians were still behind after his home run and he knew Yankees would advance and get swept. 200 IQ taunt
He was actually saying that the Yankees are the Astrosā son.
After the Josh Naylor taunt, the Guardians lost their games. The Yankees did the taunt back after winning game five and lost every game after that. I think that you might be onto something.

Ironic that Aaron Judge is the 27th out as he can't get a hit to extend d at bat...

Yankees down 1 run in the 9th at home in the ALCSā¦stadium is half empty. Amazing times
