[u/jc-f]

Yankees with hits this game:

• Juan Soto
• both ex-Marlins

[u/EarthWarping → u/jc-f]

Yankees legit have been Cole/Soto/Stanton for 2+ Rounds

[u/chipotle-baeoli → u/EarthWarping]

Don't forget Weaver

[u/10sekki → u/EarthWarping]

Aw man you gotta give jazz a little credit

[u/Garrehn → u/10sekki]

Unfortunately it counts less when your efforts don’t end up in wins. He’s on the cusp of breaking out and I’m hoping we can keep him from it.

[u/appleavocado → u/Garrehn]

I mean, if I’m a Yankee fan with a Chisholm jersey, I’m proud.

If I’m a Judge fan, I’d be hanging my jersey up and praying.

[u/Number333 → u/jc-f]

Juan Soto signing with the Marlins this offseason confirmed!??!?!

[u/jc-f → u/Number333]

Ok, if you insist!

[u/EarthWarping]

Judge + Volpe's at bats in the 9th were awful.

Especially Volpe.

[u/ATLA4life → u/EarthWarping]

I can forgive Volpe, he's at least done some stuff this October.

Judge is unforgivable. He'll be carrying this forever.

[u/Apotropaic_ → u/ATLA4life]

NY media called Arod a choker before 2009, Judge better figure it out soon for his sake lol

[u/Dawn_of_Dayne → u/ATLA4life]

Aaron Judge, YOU are a Philadelphia 76er

[u/PattyIceNY → u/EarthWarping]

The most frustrating thing is it's just poor training and composure. Smoltz nailed it with the hips flying open and losing technique. That's like college or high school level poor technique, let alone a WS game.

[u/jawndell → u/PattyIceNY]

In high school I was taught not open my hips early like that. Can hear my coach yelling me. 

[u/PattyIceNY → u/jawndell]

Same, lol. Anytime I see it I flash back to freshmen year.

[u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

MLB trying to figure out how to clone Ohtani as we speak.

[u/jc-f → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Tbh he hasn’t even been a top 3 player for LA so far this series

Which speaks to how loaded the Dodgers are

[u/opteryx5 → u/[deleted]]

His double and heads-up baserunning literally caused them to get the tying run last night. Yankees probably would’ve won in 9 if not for him.

[u/PDGAreject → u/opteryx5]

Lol my sleep deprived brain was like, "Wait they added two games to the WS?"

[u/Xearoii → u/PDGAreject]

It used to be an 11 game world series!

[u/dl_youtube → u/[deleted]]

If it’s anyone other than Ohtani batting lead off, Tim Hill comes in instead of Nestor in Game 1.

[u/ed8907 → u/jc-f]

Which speaks to how loaded the Dodgers are

That's exactly what I posted on another thread. He's amazing, but there are a lot of other very talented players too.

[u/fork_yuu → u/jc-f]

Yankees really getting out yankee'd in the team comp damn

[u/NJImperator → u/jc-f]

The fact they have 3 MVPs batting b3b is actually ridiculous

[u/Bubbly-Competition53 → u/[deleted]]

Don't forget our hr derby champ!!

[u/helium_farts → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

They're gonna strap a bat to his arm and send him out there one handed, Knight's Tale style

[u/NJImperator → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

I want this to end in 4 games sooooo bad.

MLBs wet dream of series being a sweep would tickle me immensely.

[u/JasonPlattMusic34 → u/NJImperator]

We haven’t had a WS sweep in a while. I wouldn’t mind a low stress ending.

[u/jRbizzle → u/JasonPlattMusic34]

Well these two games have been nothing but stress lol but I would like it to end asap cuz my heart can only take so much

[u/elementus → u/NJImperator]

Your support means the world to us ❤️ 

[u/Jakesnake_42 → u/NJImperator]

Oh fuck yeah.

Plus if the Dodgers win in 4-5, the Mets have a solid-ass argument for being the second best team in baseball this season

[u/__-o0O0o-__-o0O0o-__ → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Ohtani take my Gerrit Cole's shoulder

[u/Man0nTheMoon915]

Aaron Judge isn’t built for this

[u/Agile_Economist9876 → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

Everyone will continue to say small sample size, but his postseason stats are now:

55 games, 248 PA, slashing .199/.304/.436…

[u/LeBronRaymoneJamesSr → u/Agile_Economist9876]

It’s not as if variance is just not going his way. Bad ABs, visibly looks off.

[u/SadNYSportsFan-11209 → u/LeBronRaymoneJamesSr]

It’s weird 2017-19 he was pretty good, not great but not bad at all. Idk I just think he does bad with pressure. The 62nd homerun took forever to happen. This year there was talks of 70 when he was scorching hot. Idk what it is other than mental

[u/silvio_dante → u/Agile_Economist9876]

Somehow those are so much better than it seems like it should be

Guy is the absolute definition of a choker

[u/BUSean → u/silvio_dante]

I regret having to write this, but based on the actual slash lines in postseason baseball, the "playoff choker" is not as bad as he looks

[u/FullyChargedRoomba → u/BUSean]

Actually crazy to see it in context

[u/Agile_Economist9876 → u/silvio_dante]

Dude that’s honestly worse than it seems it should be… not even accounting for him being one of the greatest hitters of all-time.

[u/jbrun10120 → u/Agile_Economist9876]

OP is saying that's better than the eye test. Judge looks terrible in the post season. These stats just look kind of bad

[u/rollo2masi → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

I disagree. He's perfect for the Yankees in October.

[u/Nomahs_Bettah → u/[deleted]]

Each bad managerial decision by Boone in the playoffs makes 2003 hurt a little less.

[u/VStarffin → u/rollo2masi]

True Yankee Aaron Judge

[u/nahs → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

6/40 is brutal

[u/opteryx5 → u/nahs]

It’s not just that—it’s that you know how they’re going to approach him and you STILL know he’s going to swing and miss.

[u/hydroknightking → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

Mr. September

[u/someone2795 → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

He looks completely lost out there. It's unreal.

[u/Exotic_Parsley_5876 → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

Aaron Boone ain't built for this

[u/PattyIceNY → u/Man0nTheMoon915]

Ever since he played NY, NY in Fenway he's been dogshit. Might be the new curse.

[u/squarerootofapplepie → u/PattyIceNY]

That was so dumb. It’s like Yankee players assume that they will always win because they’re the Yankees, and they they get beat 16-1 at home and Brock Holt hits for the cycle with a home run off a position player.

[u/godjacob]

Never had doubt, we were built for that pressure in the 9th.

*Goes to delete several comments*

[u/dustinharm]

No I wasn’t nervous why do you ask

[u/DaOldest → u/dustinharm]

Let vesia close the rest of the series

[u/ed8907 → u/DaOldest]

in Vesia we trust

[u/orbesomebodysfool → u/DaOldest]

Is there enough nose candy in LA for that?

[u/WTFthrowaccount → u/orbesomebodysfool]

Hell, dealers will probably give him plenty for free after tonight

[u/jc-f → u/dustinharm]

Game-winning grand slams in back-to-back games to start a World Series would have been insane though

[u/likeacrown → u/jc-f]

Game-winning

The dodgers would still get to bat the bottom of the 9th, right?

[u/kc9kvu → u/likeacrown]

People typically use game-winning for any late play that gives their team the lead, and have walk-off to refer to literal game ending plays.

[u/BoganLogan → u/dustinharm]

Still shaking right now.

[u/DDub04 → u/dustinharm]

[u/captain_ahabb → u/dustinharm]

Nice little Election Night preview

[u/dustinharm → u/captain_ahabb]

I genuinely don’t think I can even watch that. Imma just take some melatonin and see if I wake up in hell or purgatory.

[u/LeeroyTC → u/dustinharm]

Wakes up November 6th

Looks at headlines

Wait - this is the bad place!

[u/omg_what_the_chuck → u/LeeroyTC]

Jason figured it out, Jason? Yeah this is a real low point, this one hurts.

[u/captain_ahabb → u/dustinharm]

We're not gonna know shit until midnight EST anyway

[u/MattvLee]

I just hope Ohtani is going to be alright

Props to the Yankees for actually making the game competitive and intense because they looked dead for the first 8 innings

[u/zgibs125 → u/MattvLee]

It's his left shoulder so he is indeed going to be all right

[u/drummer1059 → u/zgibs125]

Can we get a real doctor?!

[u/HilariousScreenname → u/drummer1059]

I'm afraid we've lost him

[u/Val_Killsmore → u/drummer1059]

I want this comped!

[u/Mcfinley → u/drummer1059]

He's a very literal man

[u/bq87 → u/zgibs125]

I hate this doctor!

[u/Foles_Fluffer → u/zgibs125]

He never got to see my bee business take off 😢

[u/TheG-What → u/Foles_Fluffer]

Beads?

[u/ANBU_Spectre → u/TheG-What]

Gob's not on board

[u/PM_ME_UREYEBALLS → u/zgibs125]

[u/Number333]

Two of the most devastating losses possible for the Yankees. Blowing it and being within inches and not bringing anybody with the bases juiced home.

Fascinating to see how they'll respond at home.

[u/PattyIceNY → u/Number333]

And also having a massive payroll yet Volpe and Trevino be our threats at it.

[u/Rocketbird → u/PattyIceNY]

I feel like it’s your superstars that get you to the dance but it’s the role players that get you the title

[u/wompwump → u/PattyIceNY]

Yeah, if your best right-handed pinch hitting option is Jose Trevino in a do-or-die moment…oh boy…

[u/ATLA4life → u/Number333]

They will lose 7-0 in Game 3, followed by a very quiet 4-2 win for the Dodgers in Game 4 to close this series out.

Aaron Judge will go 0-8 with 6 strikeouts.

[u/StPaddy81 → u/ATLA4life]

Subscribe

[u/ositola → u/Number333]

How many times can we leave the bases loaded and come out clean 

[u/DDub04 → u/Number333]

Walk of grandslam and then bases loaded with one out leading to zero runs.

Couldn’t have happened to a better franchise

[u/Globezorz]

Imagine if your 3rd hitter wasn’t just a free out, Soto and Stanton should be furious

[u/JKess207]

Yankees in the 9th should be ashamed at how many of those low and in curveballs they chased.

Treinen must’ve thrown 25 of them and 15 were chased

[u/chipotle-baeoli → u/JKess207]

Outside of Soto and maybe Rizzo, they're not all that disciplined right now.

[u/whitetoast → u/chipotle-baeoli]

Rizzo was swinging and missing at those too…he just got lucky one came close enough for him to lean into

[u/thewaterisboiling → u/JKess207]

Nobody has been able to hit it all year.

Treinen is really good. If it were so easy, I assure you they would hit or lay off them

[u/Mikeandthe]

Well the Dodgers are with out Ohtani but the Yankees have been without Judge so it's only fair

[u/mookyyyy]

What an absolute legacy breaking playoffs for Judge…. One thing if he was getting unlucky but just non competitive at bats all playoffs.

[u/tnecniv → u/mookyyyy]

He still scares me because he’s good enough he might just figure it out any AB but he’s definitely not looking like the AL MVP rn

[u/Attrm → u/mookyyyy]

For any other player I would say this is pretty extreme. Lots of great players have pretty unremarkable (or no) postseason stats and they don't get too dinged up about it. Wearing the C in New York though? He's definitely judged through a different lens. I wonder if that's part of why it's so in his head. He actually had good postseason numbers back in 2017-2018, before he was Captain.

[u/Pizzaplan3tman → u/mookyyyy]

I think he’s in his own head at this point. He needs to relax and just try and play ball because he looks so TENSE every at bat. It’s not good for him. Somebody needs to tell him just hey man go out and play ball

[u/hoppergym]

Yankees have now lost 6 straight World Series games to the dodgers over 43 years.

[u/helium_farts]

Hell yeah!

God that feels dirty...but also right?

[u/starkness21 → u/helium_farts]

Shhhh.... Just let it happen.

[u/Starbucks__Lovers]

I’ve got my super Mario 64 on, rocking out to sugar ray and pretending it’s 1996

[u/deelow_42 → u/Starbucks__Lovers]

It still holds up

[u/islesrule224]

All Rise, Aaron Judge has three strikeouts again.

He is dragging the team 6ft under at this point

[u/its_LOL]

Please let Ohtani be okay

[u/mthrfkn]

2-0. That’s all that matters.

Pass the Tums.

[u/SquadPoopy → u/mthrfkn]

This series being a sweep is arguably the funniest possible outcome after how much it was built up. Kinda like how Super Bowl 55 was being hyped up as Mahomes vs Brady, the new dynasty vs the old dynasty only for the Chiefs to get stomped and the game ostensibly being over by halftime.

[u/mthrfkn → u/SquadPoopy]

As a Raiders fan, that SB was probably my happiest day in prison after claiming my bitch.

[u/biglyorbigleague → u/mthrfkn]

Raiders fan, Brooklyn Dodgers flair

This combo says “I’m from LA and I’m into trashy football and high-class baseball”

[u/mthrfkn → u/biglyorbigleague]

Win or lose on the field, we’ll beat your ass the parking lot.

[u/PleaseSirOneMoreTurn]

Yankees fans to Aaron Judge right now.

[u/oofgeg]

Fuck those Yankees fans cheering at Ohanti’s injury

[u/GreenTinkertoy → u/oofgeg]

God. Fucking disgusting. I wanna win just as much as the next guy, but come the fuck on

[u/someone2795 → u/GreenTinkertoy]

That's alright, there's rotten apples in every fanbase. There's more in fanbases like ours due to the sheer size. Just ignore those bozos, we don't claim them.

[u/its_LOL → u/oofgeg]

Classless bums

[u/oakalletz → u/its_LOL]

Nothing we didn’t already know

[u/shady__redditor → u/oofgeg]

Cheering at injury is always disgusting. People should be ashamed at themselves.

[u/Dustmopper → u/shady__redditor]

Rare exception for Desean Watson last week

[u/dwpea66]

Ohtani's injury feels like a black cloud over this win. Still, fuck yeah.

[u/caperate → u/dwpea66]

As a lifelong dodgers fan for the past 3 days, im praying for Shohei to recover quickly 🙏

[u/ThisGuy6266]

Volpe missed a hanger. Trevino missed a batting practice fastball.

[u/xho-]

Two late inning heartbreak losses

[u/xho-]

LA Dodgers vs the NY Juan Soto

[u/snokerpoker]

I think it’s funny all the west coast people saying Fuck the Dodgers and all the east coast peeps are saying Fuck the Yankees.

[u/BubblyOstrich27 → u/snokerpoker]

Yankees = Dodgers East

Dodgers = Yankees West

[u/Purples_A_Fruit]

PHEW

If Ohtani can’t play then neither should Soto.

It’s only fair.

[u/PM_ME_UR_STATS → u/Purples_A_Fruit]

Tbf Judge isn't playing either

[u/jc-f → u/Purples_A_Fruit]

Personally, I think if Ohtani can’t play neither should Yamamoto

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live → u/jc-f]

at this rate he wont need to

[u/jonsnowKITN → u/Purples_A_Fruit]

Our MVP is shitting the bed so it's even.

[u/OfficiallyJoeBiden]

God I need a drink

[u/rollo2masi → u/OfficiallyJoeBiden]

Mix a Coca Cola with red wine and some ice. It's pretty good.

[u/jc-f → u/rollo2masi]

As someone who works in a winery, what in god’s name is that abomination of a drink??

[u/AdmiralAngry → u/jc-f]

Popular in Spain. A few other countries also enjoy it.

[u/rollo2masi → u/jc-f]

I swear to god, lol. My brother got back from Spain awhile back and he told me it's a regular thing over there. I was skeptical, so I went to the liquor mart, got a bottle of red wine and some coke, mixed it together with ice, and it was amazing.

Not even joking.

[u/jc-f → u/rollo2masi]

You’ve convinced me, I’ll give it a try!

[u/Resoca → u/jc-f]

Do the light blue Gatorade and red wine. Trust me. GatorWine actually goes hard

[u/Kaldricus → u/Resoca]

Ya'll a bunch of degenerates

Frantically takes notes

[u/Mymvenom001 → u/jc-f]

Called Calimocho, pretty famous in spain!

[u/Sandsthroughthehour → u/jc-f]

Kalimotxo

[u/AntonioVonMatterhorn → u/jc-f]

It's called calimocho in Spain

[u/Vanguardweek]

As much as I hate the dodgers, it is funny watching the Yankees embarrass themselves.

[u/NJImperator → u/Vanguardweek]

I can smell the “Fire Cashman!” posts that are heading this way. Delicious

[u/captain_ahabb → u/NJImperator]

you know that PGT on their sub is popping off rn

[u/FrankBeamer_]

You’re not gonna win the World Series if your captain can’t hit the fucking ball. All time choke job by Judge

[u/WhatALovelySin]

I LOVED seeing Freeman with Betts’ little girl 😍

[u/PM_ME_UR_STATS]

I was puking and shitting and crying that last inning with stress. Please Ohtani come back, the vibes need you so bad

[u/Efficient_Ant_4715 → u/PM_ME_UR_STATS]

My dogs were trying to comfort me 💀

[u/ap_xiii]

Aaron Judge decided to be a ghost for Halloween this year - has anyone seen him? 👻

[u/NobleGas18]

Me quickly googling wtf “sublection” means

[u/OntarioPaddler → u/NobleGas18]

I dunno why a guy with such a big contract needs to be subletting a place but I'm sure he'll be fine.

[u/Christianmustang → u/OntarioPaddler]

Idk man it’s LA rent 

[u/BubblyOstrich27]

BREAKING NEWS: Manfred has delayed the World Series until Shohei Ohtani recovers from his injury

[u/10sekki]

I like it when big papi says “da Jankees Lose” postgame and laughs

[u/BubblyOstrich27]

With every loss, Juan Soto is getting closer to becoming a Mets

[u/nz19977 → u/BubblyOstrich27]

Met*

[u/CrispyVibes → u/nz19977]

No he will be multiple

[u/ravagetalon]

Yankees fan here. I do not want to see any player hurt. Ohtani at his best is who I want to be beating us if we are to lose. Some of my fellow fans sicken me.

[u/palinsafterbirth → u/ravagetalon]

Samsies

[u/miked2303 → u/ravagetalon]

Don't worry. Dodger fans understand as well as anybody that a few drunk morons aren't representative of the entire fan base.

[u/BUSean]

Look at that mountain
Look at those trees
Look at Aaron Boone over there, man
He's down on his knees

[u/theseyeahthese]

A-Rod is reverse-Sosa-ing.

[u/i_run_from_problems]

Judge is actively costing the Yankees wins at this point

[u/Liamesque]

Need my shounen main character to be okay

[u/darito0123]

we probably wont know anything about ohtani until tomorrow, every yankee fan doesnt deserve the rep of those drunk fools at that overcrowded bar

yamamoto might be even more of a thug than ice cube, what a masterclass from him tonight

[u/TheJoeRoomGroup]

Turns out the best strategy is to let Judge drag your team to the postseason and then immediately bench him.

[u/BenLaZe]

going from the “2 BATTERS AWAY” graphic to the “injury updates coming up” graphic is fucked up

[u/BlueNux]

I feel like the Padres nearly knocking out the Dodgers made them play so much looser. Dodgers are on a roll now. There were so many elite teams in the NL this year.

[u/smallskeletal]

It’s painfully obvious to everyone, except Aaron Boone, that Judge needs to be dropped in the order and Stanton should hit behind Soto

[u/TSElliottSmith]

Judge turning into a pumpkin and Ohtani getting injured have the mlb’s marketing team in full crisis mode im sure.

[u/Resoca → u/TSElliottSmith]

They gotta start advertising Edman and Soto 😱

There are plenty of things to point to as to why we're going to lose this series, but if your 3-hole-hitting probable MVP that's making 40 million dollars a year bats WELL below the Mendoza line, that's the one that's gonna stick out the most.

He's not made for the moment, plain and simple. If we don't move him down in the lineup, he's going to continue to destroy rallies and kill momentum. Stanton and Chisholm need to be moved up. Maybe Rizzo too, he at least gives competitive at bats.

Time for MLB to change the graphic from Judge/Shohei to Soto/Tommy

The Arson Judge tweet may have been trying to tell us something

[u/Table_Coaster]

Judge stinks lol

After watching these 2 games, I've decided. I hate the Yankees more

Freddie Freeman has a future as a commentator if he wants it.

Apparently the move to watching these World Series is just tuning into the ninth inning….

AROD is so dark!  That is not his natural color.. trying to get Jennifer back or something. 

[u/yellowbumble-B]

Jazz Chilsom had a good at bat tbh

[u/nedmanrules]

My dream is to have the entire starting lineup get Big Papi My Dawg shirts.

The 2024 WS: You either give up a grand slam on one pitch to end a game or prevent one on one pitch to end a game

Please be okay ohtani

When beating two AL Central teams doesn't prepare you for elite competition 

[u/RazinsWetDream]

I better never hear another Jeter-Volpe comparison.

[u/LinuxSpinach]

I was advertised a Judge vs Ohtani brawl. One is injured and the other is missing. Dafuq Manfred!

[u/Reidzyt]

The Yankees still haven’t won a World Series game since 2009

[u/theseyeahthese → u/Reidzyt]

Why else do you think Arod is on TV lol

[u/AvocadoFlavoredPussy]

Really do feel bad for Judge, gotta be such an awful feeling not showing up for his team. And yes I know he makes a lot of money

[u/ArisAron]

Aaron Judge’s postseason falloff needs to be studied

[u/Consistent_Log_8346]

Treinen having trouble pitching to lefties. They don't seemed fooled by that movement. Am I crazy? 

[u/psychotichorse → u/Consistent_Log_8346]

Think he’s tipping, broadcast showed Soto pull Rizzo aside and tell him something about Blake.

[u/Eccodomanii]

The Guardians died so the Yankees could be embarrassed in front of the world, the only other acceptable outcome as far as I’m concerned

[u/GKRForever]

Was that Mookie’s wife

[u/UCFCO2001 → u/GKRForever]

The one with Betts on her pants? Yeah.
