OT: NY Yankees 2025 Season Thread (Hal is cheap, Brian is dumb)

[knicks94]

While the Dodgers compete in their 5th World Series in the past decade Hal Steinbrenner sets to prove to Yankee fans that he is just as invested in his team as any owner in baseball by making two ground breaking moves: He fires a couple of announcers and gets rid of his bullpen coach.

Hal hiding in his cave like he's Bin Laden, the more this series has gone on the worse Hal and Cashman have looked.

Jays hired a proven winning manager in the minors that won 3 championships in Jays organization. I don't wanna hear about the injuries to Cole and Schmidt as an excuse.

Sure World Series odds increase with a healthy Cole but how often have we seen the Yanks fall flat on their face with Cole. We're not that close to the Jays in fact we're pretty far apart. The coaching, scouting, and mental makeup is far superior to the Yanks. The Jays offered Ohtani 700 mill, and paid Vlad. They will outbid Hal for upcoming FAs.

If Dodgers pull it off Yamamoto would probably win the WS MVP.

Hal and his defenders (so weird that he has fans) desperately hoping the Dodgers lose

[knicks94]

Lol Roberts is as bad as Boone, should have taken Sho out after the first hit.

[blue and orange]

Cashman and Hal go join the Dodgers in their parade, hell just hand off the WS mvp to Yammamoto.

Damn that is a heart breaker for the Jays. They didn't fall flat on their face like the Yankees did last year.

[Butch718]

Cashman needs to trade for Will Smith.

He has won a title in 6 straight years

Talk about getting jiggy with it.

[KnicksGadfly]

Biggest losers:
-Hal's fans in this thread, hoping they can talk about a playoffs crapshoot (by the way, Cashman already said he never said this)

-Hal's fans because even though they lost, the Blue Jays just exposed the gap between the Yankees and the rest of the league's contenders even more. We rolled over and got smacked by both the Jays and Dodgers, who had an epic series against each other.

-Hal, for his fake hustle scheme being exposed. Trying to show fans he tried for Yamamoto, without actually doing enough to sign him. Now he's gotta fake hustle for Skubal, except we know he's not going to spend any of his league leading profits on this team.

[MrDollarBills]

Dodgers do whatever it takes to win, Yankees do whatever it takes to make profits.

These dudes are running a scam. Judge is insane if he wants to spend the rest of his prime years here.

[blue and orange]

The Jays or even the Mariners smoke last years Dodgers. Jays put up a much better fight against a healthier and better Dodgers team. Yammamoto is the reason the Dodgers won, well the main reason.

[Butch718]

I love that a former crappy Yankee played a part in the Jays losing.

IKF not taking a bigger lead and sliding instead of running straight up when it’s bases loaded cost them the game. winning run.

Good for the Dodgers. They’re what the Yankees used to be.

It's like the Yankee analytics didn't leave IKF. I hear what you're saying about the Dodgers, they bought chips more then we did and I'm not hating on them for it good for them and they do develop talent too.

We actually built our dynasty teams more like the Jays did in the fact they they have homegrown stars who played and won together in the minors and added vets with playoff experience like we did with O'Neill, Boggs, Cone, Key, Strawberry, Raines etc. We did stop a Braves repeat something the Jays couldn't do to the Dodgers.

The 2001 Dbacks were definetly a bought team of vets, and that's fine. Of course not only does Hal Penny pinch we suck with player development and building a clubhouse culture, our scouting and coaching suck too.

There is more than one Will Smith in baseball.

So there are 2 Robert Horrys in baseball.

[GettinitDone]

I guess you can be so good at what you do, you can go to a foreign country to make nine figures doing it and dgaf about learning the country's so-easy-to-learn language and bring an interpreter wherever you go.

Most Japanese players do know English, but pretend that they don't to avoid having to deal with scrutiny by the media.

No, the Will Smith on the Dodgers is a different player from the Will Smith that was on those other championship teams on that list.

Heartbreaker is right. Two outs away. So many runners left on base. IKF fail to score as someone posted above. Very tough.

[knicks94]

Could anyone explain why YES has an entire show called Yankees Hot Stove when it is obvious that Hal does not like this part of the year because of the fact that he hates spending money?
