Only starting pitcher that showed up was tanaka and we could not get a hit with RISP to save our life
I agree with Michael Kay, there appeared to be no sense of urgency in this team throughout this series. 4-for-26 (.154), speaks for itself, as well as Happ's, Sevy's, and CC's outings in which none of them pitched at least 4 innings.
Im honestly curious how girardi wouldve done with this team. I know he blew the challenge last yr, but still. Girardi got them to game 7 alcs. Imagine him having the same roster but with stanton gleybar and miggy
Krucifer 420 girardi was a great manager every year he managed he get the best out of his team and got the yanks to more wins than most expected year after year
@@KillerChickenz01 I mean game 2 alcs shows how the players felt about him instead of laying down and saying well fuck our manager blew it the went out played their asses off and picked him up it was such a dumb fucking move firing him and the yanks will feel that wrath of disrespect for a while they did Joe dirty while I understand he was in the last year of his contract they fucked him over even after he gave them whatever he could day in n day out he even went out of his was to help gary get better defensively being a former catcher
Girardi made the best of what we currently had. The 2013 and 2014 seasons would've been very ugly sub .500 teams, but he made the best of it
Aaron seems like a nice guy, but I think Leo Durocher"'s take on nice guys was pretty spot on. i get the feeling that Aarons such a nice guy he didn't have the balls to walk up to Sabathia on the mound and take the ball away from him, kind of like Grady Little and Pedro Martinez
All or Nothing team. Need a few "slap hitters" need to make productive outs. Need to manufacture runs. A bit of "Little Ball" will win games.
so u want the red sox?
We needed a few hits in the right situations, whether they were big hits or small. We had several chances to win games with well timed hits. Missing that many chances with guys who were otherwise playing well is a mental issue. Boone has not done the job he needed to do in the clubhouse.
@@has3219 You are correct sir.
YES DAVID I BEEN SAYING THAT ALL YEAR!!!...THE HOME RUN OR BUST SHIT IS NOT GOOD AND BOONE HAS NO NOSE FOR BASEBALL,..YES THE HOME RUN THING IS THE WORST BUT THEY ALSO SUCK IN THE FIELD!!...AND OMG THEY NEED A REAL CATCHER TOO!!!!!...TORRES & ANDUJAR SWING FOR THE FENCES TOO MUCH AND SUCK WITH THE GLOVE!!!.....BUT,,,,,,,,,OUR PITCHING IS NOT GOOD EITHER,,WE NEED A HUGE UPGRADE!!!!
I would like to see a double play every once in a while too.
Anyone miss girardi? I do.
Harby Santos I guess you wanted him out last year.
🖐
Fuck giradi🖕
Fuck u 🖕 jankeess Arron Boone hahaha Boston red Sox #1
Jevo43 nope , he got a young team within a game of the World Series he should of never been without a job.
Hit and run...Bunt...Double steals...THAT'S Baseball too...
Guess who did all of that in this series? The Red Sox, the team that won....
@@el3men2lokot ...My point...Look at my post...You tip your hat, learn and get ready for 19'...I'm not an ignorant hater...I LOVE Baseball and ALL it's history...Can talk for hours...Can't stand the Sox but that's natural being in the same division...But I don't hate just for the sake of hating...Hell, even some Boston players, past and present have talked how much shit they've gotten from their own fans, and I'm talking racist shit, talking about their families...Even the players have said Yankee fans don't do that shit and we Yankee fans police our own...I wouldn't tolerate ANY of that shit being dumped on another player...Call him names, say he sucks, whatever...But we don't do the racist and anti-family shit...Lots of parents bring their kids and we'll get assholes tossed for that shit...Boston and Philly fans are hated more than the players...And that's by EVERY TEAM IN SPORTS...THEY ALL CAN'T BE WRONG...
That used to be the Yankees. Now the Red Sox do that. That used to be the reverse back in the day. The Sox were the team that's couldn't bunt, couldn't run and steal, couldn't field, and they didn't win. The Yanks once did that and won a lot.
@@kevaninthe4135 ...And now, the Damn Sux do ALL of that Well...Hats off to those Beantown shitsticks...With respect...😎
Analytics DOES NOT MANAGE A GAME!!! Analytics may be pretty decent at putting teams together, BUT it doesn't know how to manage guys...Analytics can't tell you what a guy's eyes are saying...Whether it's, "Get me out of here", or "Give me the damn ball and leave me alone." Only a good manager knows the difference...Get Torre back...
You win a game with determination, focus, heart and soul.... Yankees didn't take us seriously... We took you seriously and won.
Gabriel Davidson what would torre do? In 2004, he didn’t want to bunt against a pitcher who had a fucked up ankle. The Red Sox didn’t do that to C.C but the managed to kick his ass
Gabriel Davidson You do realize Torre is 78 now right?
@@lukemorosini4 ...And your point??
@@theberg2035 ...In 2004, I'm sorry but SOMEBODY had to get paid off...I mean, do you remember that team? I don't think they lost 4 games straight once in the entire season...And they're going to lose 4 straight when all they need is 1 to get to the Series?? That team was scary...
Agreed with Kay. what the hell were you thinking leaving CC and Severino out there for so long. and how do you bring in a starter like Lance Lynn instead of Betances who has years of experience in situations like this.
TheNegativeDude severino wasn’t prepared for game 3 I feel that was the game changer
TheNegativeDude- Some mistake by Boone leaving CC. Yankees had all opportunity to win game 4, Stanton, Luke and Didi fail to hit in the clutch to win game four. Same thing happen in game 3 of 7th inning with base loaded, Yankees couldn’t hit in the clutch to win game 3. That why the Yankees season ended early.
Your analysis is spot on. The silent bats are what killed the series for the yanks, not a 3 run deficit. I don't know why this isn't being discuses. I'm a Sox fan and I'm surprised at how few runs the yanks scored in the last two games, especially at Yankee Stadium. Went to the old stadium twice, had a great time!
Lance lynn is a fucking terrible, you'll never change my mind on this. Boone is incompetent and cannot manage the greatest franchise in history.
Edged Line the dynamic would’ve been Yankees will be playing game 5 at Fenway Park right now and the Yankees will I guess win the series
Boone seriously has no idea what hes doing.... his fault we lost this series
You're right about Boone, but it's Cashman's fault this series was lost, and his fault for hiring Boone in the first place. And that 's not to take anything away from the Red Sox. They played outstanding baseball all year, and in this series. I can at least appreciate how they play the complete game of baseball and not mere home run derby.
Kerrigan - You lost because Boston is better. Period. You are dismissed.
tbh they really didnt play outstanding baseball all year, the first half yes but they lost to so many below .500 teams. also lost the division by 7 or 8 games.they did have injuries they just looked like there was zero urgency all year until the 9th inning of game 4 when it was wayyy too late. at least girardi held people accountable and had balls to win a game. i think cashman needs to let boone manage a bit more cause all they do is let him make a gameplan but he doesnt make any real time decisions, the way alex cora did this series. and stanton just does not fit into this team, hes either a strikeout or home run and even when he homers its usually in dead time when were up 6 runs or so he just looked lost all year.
k pal, nice argument. position by position yanks are better than the sox, besides the starters boston has them on that but the yanks bullpen is way better than boston based on numbers, they didnt get it done this series but yankees are and will be better than boston for years to come. they also have much more talented young players than boston does too so shut your mouth.
Kerrigan - What a pussy. Your lame ass team was humiliated by Boston once again. NY sports teams SUCK...
The pitching for the Yankees was so faulty. Sevy lost it in the second half, and home runs will only get you so far. This team needs to focus on putting the bat on the ball, not on hitting homers
Yeah well no kidding, that's an awesome feat. But hitting homers clearly didn't cut it I'm the postseason, not for long. Careful at bats, getting on base, and singles is the way to go, not golf swings swinging for the fences
Totally agree with you guys
They needed pitching more than anything
Years later. Same fundamental flaws. Incredible this was three years ago.
Can I start with Boone? Game 3, Luis Severino didn’t know what time the games started and got to the bullpen late and didn’t warm up enough and I think Boone should make sure everyone knows what time the games start. Then when Luis Severino was obviously struggling, he left him in way too long and went to Lace Lynn instead of Chad Green or David Robertson or Dellin Betances, then Lynn threw nothing but balls and then Benintendi hit a bases clearing double. That killed the Yankees in game 3 and killed the momentum for the rest of the series. Offense never showed up again. Poor decision making by Boone. Sometimes the defense would mess up. Finally the offense didn’t show up very much in the last 2 games. C.C Sabathia also didn’t have it in game 4 and Boone, saying he learned his lesson, did it again. And sent Zach Britton in the middle innings and that allowed another homer in game 4. Boone doesn’t know how to wake up a team or get a team riled up, he doesn’t when to take a starter out, he doesn’t know who to send to the mound, he doesn’t know how to make sure the team knows what time the games start, he never got on Gary Sánchez for lack of hustle or Gary’s defense or Gary chasing pitches. Aaron Boone just did an awful job managing this team despite the 100 wins. 1 thing I liked was using Dellin Betances more this year because it really helped Betances get back on track. Yankees also should be more aggressive and smarter at base running like the Red Sox were not only during the series but during the entire year. Yankees also needed more contact hitting than just power hitting. I love home runs but sometimes less is more. And again it felt like ground balls was the Yankees defense’s kryptonite.
And sometimes bunting helps.
And I’d like to have Joe Girardi back as the manager. Or at least Carlos Beltran, A-Rod, or Paul O’Neill as the manager.
Or hire the guy who just left the Angels.
I agree!!! Just hit the friggin ball!!! It’s not all about hitting homers, u need base hits!!!! When Severino showed up late, they should have not let him pitch!!! Boone needs to go!!! Use your bullpen and know when to change out the pitcher!!!
I agree with most of what you say, however I have to think that his protection of Sanchez when I was ready, like many fans to run him out of town, was correct. He was getting his swing back and was one of the only Yanks in postseason (exceptions being Judge and Voit who seemed dangerous for the pitchers during post season). I do vehemently agree that an attempt to get hits and not pull everything, kill everything is needed by maybe a segment of our line-up. We need to be able to get runs by stringing hits together too and using all parts of the field. The sense of urgency and passion was lost it seemed and it is hard not to blame Boone a bit with his manner and his maneuvers or lack of them.
This one was for you michael kay, you never gave us a chance
What went wrong is my biggest complaint with Boone, and a complaint I did not expect to have. He never made the team gel. Yes, he made mistakes on the field. He should have had Robertson up and not Lynn. There is no scenario in which Lynn should replace Sabathia in the middle of an inning. He could have been getting loose, but the one warming should have been Robertson. But that wasn't the biggest problem.
The biggest problem was that they couldn't build on each other's energy to string together hits and capitalize on opportunities. And that is a problem with the club phone. With so many missed chances for a big hit from so many players who played well otherwise, that is a mental issue in the clubhouse. It is an issue that became undeniable mid-seasom and hasn't improved.
Its the first year as a team they will learn from their mistakes and come back next year sharper and more hungry to win it all
"All these games could have been won" Umm, even the 16-1 game????
They played a superior team. It’s that simple
I said when they got rid of Girardi they made a mistake. I also would have liked them to get starting pitching instead of Stanton. Would we need is atleast 2 15+ game winners over the winter time. In the play offs good pitching always beats good hitting
As a Marlins fan I have to say that im not upset that the Yankees didn't even make it to the second round. Just proves money wont buy you a WS ring, or a true playoff spot for that matter
Yea cuz Yankees used money to win all those World Series. On top of the fact you are a Marlins fan, you seem jealous
Being another Marlins fan, don't forget that they took 260 million off of our payroll, we got back a four time all star which we'll probably flip for prospects, and two additional prospects. Don't get me wrong, I miss Stanton but they did us a favor in the long run
As you know, Stanton strikes out alot, and is prone to huge slumps. That is not sustainable. You look at all the big winners, they get it done with the small ball. And I hope that is the way the Marlins go because having a 59 Home-run season didn't help us
The Bombers looked listless. Very frustrating to watch. Sad.
I really don’t understand now some people are trying to justify and look for excuses about the pitching staff and blah blah blah they left CC and severino to long listen they real reason why we lost is because the batters didn’t do anything.
Nothing but striking out you can be the greatest team but when it comes to performance and the lights go on if you are not able to hit and score runs its over you lose.
Stanton,torres,hicks,gardner sanchez,and curch didn’t hit a least the way they were expected to.
I'm not a big fan of Kay, but he's totally right here.
Ninja Spiderman - You lost. Eat it
@@ckalnicki Actually, he did not lose, because he is not the New York Yankees baseball club, nor is he a member of the New York Yankees baseball club.
SauceDevourer - LOST! Eat it
Sense of urgency... 100% true
They lost to a superior team.
No mystery here
I've always hated Michael Kay. Right now he's the only guy saying the truth. I believe it does all fall on Cashman though. Maybe Boone is too sensitive to bruising that ego that he doesn't go off script. We are talking about a guy who fired Joe Torre and Girardi. One got 4 rings and made the postseason EVERY SEASON and the other got fired after his best managerial year.
I don't think I'd go off script on that guy.
Aaron Boone and Stanton. Get rid of both bums.
MG u want him?
Turn in your Yankee fan card
Yankee Fan101 i think it was starting pitching too... only Tanaka showed up
That's not how this works bud.
As a Red Sox Fan I find this extremely hilarious Lol
Nothing went wrong Red Sox were just the better team.😂😂
Felipe Romero Honestly if Boone managed the way he should have managed the Red Sox wouldn’t be where they are right now, they would’ve had a tougher time than they really did. But hats off to Cora, he knows how to manage a team and does it well
Red Sox will fall...just like the leaves do every fall
@@whyme3904 "Suck it!"
-Alex Cora
Facts, Red Sox were the better team however the Yanks were lacking in starting pitcher depth and quality contact hitters
never thought I'd say it... but i agree with Kay
they switched with the red sox, now they are the chokers now! How much longer do we have to endure this travesty of a team year after year?
Managing means using your instincts along with your head...They picked Boone because they didn't want 10 guys with computers in the dugout managing the game...Michael K is 1000%, yes 1000% correct...
No, instead they've got 10 guys with computers in the clubhouse, not a lot of difference. Metrics are here to stay and I doubt it's all that Boone used. Giradi's first year wasn't so good either
@@billshafter8216 ...That was my point...It was sarcasm...10 guys managing with computers in the dugout as opposed to the front office...Point is, if you live with analytics, you die without managing...Which means Michael K. is right...You'll have to have a Sandy Koufax to live with analytics...And that is ridiculousness...Get Billy Martin back...
Stanton is a joke
Kerrigan as a Sox fan I agree. NO balls in big situations
A $325 million dollar joke
Kinda pains me to agree with MK to this level (still not over the Clint Frazier fake apology), but he is spot on here
They fell behind on the count for literally almost every at bat. : (
What you are saying is almost identical to what I was screaming at the tv during that game.
Yankees Starting Pitching Rotation Needs to be Upgraded to be Dominating !!
The season ended early because Yankees starting pitching wasn’t dominating as the Bosox. Brian Cashman fail to get at least 1 or 2 starting pitcher during the off season 2017. Big mistake getting into another 10 year contract with Santon. Cashman should’ve gotten an ace pitcher instead. The Yankees bats went cold at Yankees stadium in the last two games and the Yankees shouldn’t never got rid of Joe Girardi . Joe Girardi took the Yankees further than 2018 Yankees and within one game of the World Series.
MG I mean yea after that shit he pulled against the Indians but he did make it far and could’ve done it again. I guess we Yankees fans should be careful of what we wish for.
First of all let's give the Yankees some credit for going this far. Now let's talk about the Red Sox for a minute. Did you notice the
similarities with this Red Sox team and the '86 Mets? The '86 Mets won 108 games which the Red Sox did this year. The Mets
had a guy named Mookie Wison the Red Sox have Mookie Betts, the Mets played the Houston Astros in the '86 championship series and who are the Red Sox playing in the championship series? None other than the Houston Astros. Too much coincidencefor me. Look! I don't care how many championships the Red Sox win, that '86 world series will forever haunt they're ass. So now
you're trying to expel it by copying '86 Mets? Maybe, maybe not! But then again, I still don't understand why the Astros were moved to the American league? Think about it for a ninute, see if it makes sense to you.
Lol, what went wrong.
You guys ran into the 2018 Red Sox.
Why the hell did they start Sevy in game 3 on short rest? That left CC pitching in a must win game.
We should have started Happ last night sorry CC but that would’ve made more sense, J.A. Pitched 2 innings game 1.
THANK YOU MICHAEL FUCKING KAY, THE KEY TO LOSING THIS SERIES WAS WE HAD ZERO ABSOLUTELY ZERO FUCKING URGENCY. MAYBE DONT SCRIPT GAMES AND ACTUALLY MANAGE LIKE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING FOR OVER 100 YEARS WOW
Bad management by aaron boone , he is either to scared or doesnt have the ability to demand better from his team. The Yankees fire and sense of urgency faded away before the allstar break, boone failed to make his players accountable. Fire aaron boone and hire mike scoscia
What went wrong,every player every thing,sorry Stanton still love you
I'm a Red Sox fan why did the Yankees fire girardi in the first place they got to game 7 of the ALCS in a year not many people expected them to even get to the playoffs I guess he couldn't relate to the younger players but clearly he was doing something right it feels like they took a step back this year even though they won 100 games I think Boone is atleast half the problem with the Yankees
Problem is they don’t have scrappy players home run hitting can only get you passed horrible teams in the American League , they should focus on defense and pitching with clutch hitters..
Red Sox guy here - it seems at strategic times when the Red Sox pitchers couldn't find the plate if their life depended on it the Yankees bailed them out by swinging at high fastballs and way low and away sliders on numerous occasions. It seemed that Stanton was especially guilty of this. We all thought when we got Martinez we were getting the consolation prize but for this year anyways it doesn't seem to worked out that way.
Pitching, pitching, pitching we need pitching
Let's admit Alex Cora managed his team better. Boone being a rookie manager didn't have any clue.
Yankees looked tired and relieved they lost- not every player wants to be a champion- it’s a new genre-
Bottom line: get the pitcher to come into the zone and don't swing at pitches out of the zone. Simple as that. The regular season with sub par pitchers to beat up on, and their approach of taking pitches and working the count, doesn't play well in the postseason -- the pitchers usually are better at working the corners and getting ahead. They took too many pitches in the zone and fell behind, and good pitchers will eat you alive when they're ahead. It's the story of the Yankees the last 10 years.
What a waste of a god mode season. Girardi would have won us that world series .
And Make Fun Of Boston For It
Goes to show all you salty Yankees fans that just because a team has all the top players in every position and a payroll that is ridiculously too high, that doesn't mean you're going to dominate the postseason, win the pennant, and the championship.
I think Aaron Boone was relying on his dynamite packed offense to make up for any pitching problems and the bats just didn't show up. Stanton crushed 4 balls in game 4 and 3 of them went straight to people. Sometimes you just get unlucky.
The succinct response is Aaron Boone needs to go.
Maybe not, Girardi's first year was similar to Boone's. Girardi became a very good manager who shouldn't have been fired, but neither should have Francona, but that's baseball. You can't fire the whole team after all, so out goes the manager.
Girardi Had Bad Moments But He Came Through
They did not hit, They allowed runs in the first inning, this inaceptable for me.
lack of starting pitcher..
I know the Yankees got 100 wins this year, but they should not have fired Girardi. I don't care if you didn't win the World Series last year, you didn't do anything in the playoffs this year with Boone. They should be playing way better than they did.
i dont understand why michael kay thought this yankee team was so much better then the red sox when the red sox were so much better in this series they made the yankees look like shit
The Yankees made the Yankees look like shit.
Yea, and there was that sweep at Fenway and the Yanks continually losing to Baltimore........
Exactly: they do not play with urgency. If they had a scripted way it was going to go....they also have to have the flexibility to drop it all when it first starts to fall apart.
Get used to this crap in October, folks. When you don't have a REAL manager to make REAL serious in-game decisions THIS is EXACTLY what you get.
Much, I'm afraid.
4:00 "...gotta get a feel for the game..." describing that Yankees game plans are all scripted by the analytic guys beforehand. I don't believe that. Obviously every team now has an analytics staff. But it's up to Boone, who will never have a "feel for the game." The guy is the most schizophrenic, asinine manager I've seen. Almost from the very beginning, you knew this was no Joe (take your pick). Boone left baseball.... what, six years ago? ... to then go sit in a broadcast booth, so Cashman hires him with zero managerial experience. Aaron Boone is nothing like Alex Cora when it comes to managing, and never will be. Boone doesn't have the instincts for the game that all great managers must have. His home-run-happy (or nothing) lineup cannot save him because most of them don't know how to play baseball, only home run derby. Boone must spend most of his strategy time coming up with new ways to rearrange the batting order. That's the only thing - you can be sure of that - that changes from game to game.
What went wrong?????? They never showed up for the game.
Back Office running the show now. Analytic guys can only be correct if the game goes the way the "average" game goes. Anything goes different, analytics will be wrong. Really, wrong. Agree with Kay, after the first inning I said the season is over, not because of the score (it was 0-0) but you could sense real drive or urgency (maybe energy) to "win." Here is to a good winter and see ya in FL in 2019.
They fire Girardi for making the Yankees go to the ALCS last year. But they'll probably not fire Aaron Boone for making the Yankees go to only the ALDS.
Well said
Too many swinging for the fence, rather bury one over the wall than a situational single. Big fly never translates well in the post season, better pitching.
Managers change the outcome of games how often? 1% of the time? Theyre not pitching, theyre not batting. They make moves and sometimes those moves work and sometimes they dont. Dont forget to blame the people playing the game poorly.
Like I said all this season, Girardi needed to managed this year! Only this year! Only one more time.
Luis Omar - That what I’m talking about. He did more that 2018 Yankees.
Luis Omar I mean he could’ve but giradi wanted 2-3 years I believe with these Yankees and cash man only wanted him for 1 year so girardi refused
The Berg- That’s incorrect, According to article I read in ESPN After Joe got fired. Brain Cashman suggests to owner that Joe G lack connection with the baby bombers and too tough on benching Gary Sanchez, which I think it’s bunch of bullshit. Manager need to be tough on their players for them to perform better. He wasn’t offer one year contract for 2018. The Yankees outcome with Joe Giraridi as manager in 2018 would been much better than Aaron Boone.
Tony well that how u no the front office makes the decisions
Why didn't Tanaka pitch game 1? If EVERY decision is made by analytics, why would you pitch Happ? Analytics would say his "dominance" vs the sox is a statistical fluke and the best available pitcher should pitch game 1 against one of the best in the game (Sale).
cant argue with anything they said....bad managing and the lack of hitting killed the yanks....last year against HOU 27 Ks in 2 games, you cant give up that many outs and expect to win...
I THOUGHT THE YANKEES WOULD WIN BUT AS IT HAS TURNED OUT THE TEAM WHO WAS STATISTICALLY LIKELY TO BEAT US HAS BEATEN US
I'm a Yankees fan but the team and fans lacked spirit this post season in my opinion. Plus Aaron Boone made some horrible choices with the pitching
Horrible starting pitching and coach who doesn't use his amazing bullpen quick enough.
Giancarlo stanton striking out with bases loaded like 10 thousand times
Still does to this day. It's what he is.
So, Kay, are you ready to apologize to all the smart fans who hated Boone and saw this coming way back in July? What happened to "They're gonna win 100 games and they're the 2nd best team in MLB?" What happened to "You people need to calm down and shut up. All the Boone haters wanted Girardi fired?"
Well, Michael, shame on Jacoby Ellsbury for getting hurt.
Thank you cashman for getting a starting pitcher!! Boone get the hell out of newyork
They did get an ace. Turns out he is a cheater. Didn't solve anything.
Break it down!
They didn’t have starting pitching.
Everything, from our pitching to our hitting, but congrats to Boston, the better team won, Stanton was horrible
No one wanted to hit a single. Just home runs
Starting pitching let you down.
They should have started sonny gray lol
idk why this 4-26 with RISP was a big surprise? All they do is hit home runs, they cannot actually hit singles.....they suck against good pitching
It's not managing anymore, it's micromanaging.
Yankees need pitching pitching pitching
A since of urgency, has left the Mindset of these players, they cash out on the BIG BANG Theory on the dazed on the ropes in late innings.
Really. Kay is going to blame Aaron Boone. Where was the pitching in game three? Please. Luis Servarino stunk up the hallowed ground of Yankee Stadium. When we needed at lease seven out of him. That’s Boone problem. Come on. Boy I hate this second guessing from these guys in the cheep seats.
True but get him out early get another arm in, PLEASE!
Boone is an automaton. A push button manager.
A 3 run deficit is nothing, especially for the Yanks. I don't blame Boone, I blame the players and their silent bats. If the yanks got some hits to drive in runs no one would be talking about Boone and the pitching. It's the bats not Boone.
It's Boone too. He should've taken CC and Sevi out
I miss joe
They met the buzzsaw known as the Boston Red Sox!
Yankees have been a disaster since 04. Future teams have brought nothing but shame to the organization.
They won a World Series in 2009
When your starting pitchers lay an egg (Games 1, 3, and 4) you don't win. Period.
Its called Giancarlo Stanton's footwork
Just want to thank the Yankee organization for stealing that bum away from my Sox. JD's contract looks like a Macy's bargain store discount compared to that bum Stanton.
Jd reminds me of miggy during his triple crown days. Dude is one of the best hitters I have seen in a long time.
NNick0310 - Seriously, I have never seen someone's legs and feet move so much on a swing-and-miss.
Rollsroyce44 he did learn from miggy in Detroit
Pretty much everything went wrong
Pitching! Pitching wins titles. Clearly Yanks HAVE to go out and get pitching. Clutch hitting was missing but they still couldn't stop Boston from sending the Yanks into golfing season.
These losses were on Boone, terrible managing from him!
Jared Williams We need Girardi back
Also Yanks have been looking at possibly acquiring Nathan Eovaldi so that may be good
In that loss a couple things stood out re-watching it after I had cooled down and could be more analytical: We couldn't get the key hit. Had more than one chance prior to 9th inning to score but nobody came through. Two, our relievers were pretty darn good. Only Britton gave up a run and that one not actually a bad pitch but Vazquez just showed a Opp field swing that did the trick. Three: Red Sox made a couple VERY good defensive plays that saved the Win for them. Inning 9 the blocked ball when Sanchez was up I believe would have allowed everyone to move up had it passed Vasquez at the plate. Run 3 would have scored, and it would have probably been runners on 3rd and 2nd, score 4-3. Then Sanchez, if he still has the same fly ties the game with that drive. Finally the play to get Torres for the final out was a good play by Nunez (formerly a much worse player for Yanks when we had him) to field and throw so quickly but the throw was wide of first and Pearce made a fantastic catch and stretch to end the game. Also, Torres's at bat was not bad and he hung in on a tough tough pitch there, though stepping toward right and hitting the ball to the opposite field would have likely won the game- it was a good good pitch.
So, while I thought the small things did not go Yanks way, it was not a honor-less loss. However, the game before was another story and that loss falls on Boone who should have been more serious about trying to win that game! Eovaldi, another castaway from the Yanks because when we had him he was fair to middling, comes back to kill us! UGHHH!
Yankee Fan - Hahahah. Not happening
Had the Yankees hit, none of this would have mattered and the pitching agenda would have looked completely different. In the end, it takes players hitting the ball and moving players along whether it be a homer or single. The big studs just didn't show up, but it happens all the time with many team in the playoffs.
Karma, JuJu. Everybody's astrological charts have to line-up with the stars. Then the manager has to get the line-up right.
Look, the Yankees need to add some really good pitching for next year. They don't need the arrogant man-child Manny Machado. Nor do they need to add Bryce Harper. They have enough hitting. Unless they trade on of their top young hitters for a top pitcher, then they can think about adding another bat... maybe. That said, they MUST try to add another top flight pitcher, if at all possible.
