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

[KnicksGadfly]

Let’s see if Max Fried can be called ace tomorrow.

Let’s see if Max Fried can be called ace tomorrow.

Of course not our ass is getting swept. 1 run probably would be enough to win for the Jays as it is. Redsox weren’t a legit playoff team the Jays are.

[omerome]

We're getting Schlittlered.

[blue and orange]

Well this is a real good way to shut up the Jays and their fans. Team is incredibly soft and I’m including Judge and Fried in this. Jays literally resting Bichette and Scherzer this series because they know they can.

[Butch718]

Fried **** the bed today.

Vlad is who Judge thinks he is.

This team is getting swept. I don’t have faith in Rodon on Tuesday, and I don’t have faith in this offense.

Honestly, I don’t care about Judge’s historic regular season numbers. He’s flat out terrible in the playoffs and he should not get a pass for it. He is not worthy of that captain title.

This team managed to ruin all the good vibes from the Red Sox series. They’re frauds.

Can’t blame any of this on Boone either. We have a bunch of fake tough guys on this team with the exception of Cam.

[VirginiaKnickFan]

Thank god Boone will be fired after this debacle in the playoffs.

[Butch718]

Wishful thinking.

Even if he gets fired they will replace him with another yes man. The organizational rot start from the top. I don’t believe this team will ever win a world series again until Cashman is gone and Hal sells the team.

They’ll be competitive in making the playoffs but will always come up short.

Buck Martinez was right too. Bunch of fugazis on this team. The biggest one being Aaron Judge.

[Jalen Bluntson]

Wow. This is insane. Didn't even know the game was on right now. Streaming sucks as bad as the Yankees do!

[VirginiaKnickFan]

Saved you from wasting your time.

[blue and orange]

Beat a Sox team in a rebuilding year without Roman Anthony. Now face an actual playoff team and here are the results. Jays just saving their starter for ALCS now lol. Credit to the Yankees for trying to out embarrasses the Giants and Jets today.

Now we’re starting to hit with no pressure and against a Jays pen scrub who the hell cares.

[Butch718]

Knicks need to save this city from all the embarrassment the other professional sports teams have inflicted on their fan bases this year.

[thebuzzardman]

Yanks are pretenders. Have been for years

Judge is hitting .444 - OBP .524 and OPS 1.024 this post season. He's not slugging and has come up small in some big spots, but hard to say a guy sucks when hitting .444

At least this postseason. No argument about previous years.

Completely misleading as he has come up short when it matters the most.

The damage he did today was when they were already down 12-0.

Misplaying the ball against the wall which wasn’t a difficult play.

Striking out with no one out and the bases loaded. He chased a terrible pitch out of the strike zone, that he rarely swings at. This completely changed the momentum of the game.

He got bailed out by the Red Sox outfield when they dropped that semi line drive that should have been caught.

As a power hitter, he hasn’t hit the bombs when it matters the most. Just look at what Vlad did today and what he has failed to do. No passes for this guy.

Stanton, Belli, Fried and others also deserve blame, but as the “captain” it all starts with him.

Those are fair points but so is mine. I specifically said he has come up small in some big spots. Not a good chase with bases loaded but you expect a strike to be thrown there. I didn't see the misplayed ball so can't comment on that. As the MVP you certainly expect more and it's fair to have high standards, but again the guy is hitting over .400 - there is plenty of blame to go around. The team was no hit nearly through 6 innings. That isn't on Judge alone. Vlady crushing a grand slam (already up 5-0) when the Yankees bring in a scrub long reliever isn't something Judge has really had the fortune of facing. Their entire lineup is hitting and getting on. Yanks not so much.

The pitching has been an abomination.

Numbers also need context.

He has 2 RBI in 5 games and one of them came when they were down by a ton, and the other came off a missed catch by the Red Sox.

Judge is going to get held to much higher standards and rightfully so. He has not made an impact at all in the playoffs so far. This team will go only as far as Judge will take them.

Then the real problems are MUCH bigger than Judge. I agree he isn't a great hitter in the playoffs but, he's 6th all time in postseason HRs on the Yankees and he's hitting over .400 this year. The problems haven't been with Judge this year.

[Butch718]

Sounds like you’re looking for reasons to give him a pass
and not actually commenting on what’s been happening during games.

And yes, this team has issues:

Hal not going all in on spending
Cashman doing a mediocre job since 2009
Bull pen sucks
Shaky 3B and SS most of the regular season
Lineup not performing

But Judge’s empty post season stats this year are glaring. He has had zero big extra base hits this post season.
That is unacceptable.

It's a team sport. He's not the one giving up 12-13 runs every game. It's disappointing that he has not been performing up to his standards but, he's not the reason the team is getting boot stomped out there.

Seems more like you're just dumping on him honestly. Without him...we don't sniff the playoffs the last several years. This season his post season numbers aren't nearly as bad as they have been. Overall his career post season numbers are poor but, again, no post season without him.

We have the worst BP in the league basically. The starters are also getting rocked by TOR. Judge is not even close to being a problem.

[VirginiaKnickFan]

Yanks are pretenders. Have been for years

Fire Cashman and Boone would be a good start at reversing that trend.
