It Was Fun While It Lasted: The Official 2024 New York Yankees Off-Season Thread

Stanton better be hitting 4th behind Judge for the rest of the playoffs.

enough with the Wells cleanup bullshyt

The only reason Wells hits after Judge is because Boone thinks it gives the Yankees an advantage.

Opposing pitchers can bring in a right handed reliever if it's Judge and Stanton.

The problem is, Austin Wells sucks against righties, too.

I can’t remember the last postseason classic we were on the right side of

'03

 

[obarth]

Vintage Clay Holmes we were 1 out from up 3-0, now we got a series

You're really putting this on Holmes? We were 1 out from the game being over.

 

[obarth]

This is the type of game that if you eventually lose the series, you talk about for the next 20 years

'04 popped in my head the second that ball left the field

 

[Mantle Drunk]

My wife was like no biggie they up 2-1.

I was like games are hard to win in the playoffs when your one out a way you gotta take that. Who knows Gil very very easily can be wild and and get rocked and now it’s 2-2

On the same token he can pitch a gem and be up 3-1 and game 3 you can look back and be like that was wild but whatever.

I’m ultimately not worried but what’s the Yankees record when Stanton and judge hit HR’s in the same game? It’s something wild. You gotta win those games man

Nah I’m not actually blaming it on him.

I know it sounded like I was but it wasn’t

 

[Nero Christ]

Can’t lie, even tho we’ve been on the end of some real heartbreakers during Boone’s tenure…this one fukked me up brehs

But regroup and let’s get this done in 5

If Gil ends up being rusty and disappointing today…is Stroman really the backup option?

yup.

Not having Cortes this round hurts, but the Yankees probably woulda started Gil had we lost game 3 in KC. I just hope he's ready cuz going forward he's a big part of the rotation.

If we win today, game 3 didn't happen as far as I'm concerned.

 

[holidayinn21]

They broke him

He can't be serious

 

[tremonthustler1]

Let's roll.

 

[Ron Mexico]

They still on that clown shyt hitting Stanton 5th.

Stanton at 5 isn't bad. While we loved the 8th inning, the previous two turns up, Soto/Judge/Stanton had non competitive ass AB's. You wanna lengthen the lineup to where 7-8-9 aren't automatic outs (and you keep a lefty in between Judge /Stanton.


Jazz just needs to wake the fukk up. We can't win a title without him

I thought Cleveland had too many quality swings yesterday. Even their fouls were hard hit

Then I looked at the numbers: 3HR's, 4 doubles, 7 walks, only 5 strikeouts

Gil's swing and miss ability+ occasional wildness may actually work in making their hitters somewhat uncomfortable
