NYC Really Is Like The '80s Again: The 2022 New York Yankees Season Thread

Kermit the Frog came through

I have a feeling Manfred is gonna make that call and make the ALCS this years world series in terms of ratings

Don't be surprised to the Boys end up with favorable calls/ump tonights.

 

[in the NICK of time]

I know they have our number but guys you gotta feel good about facing the stros. Idc bout regular season. They swept sure but a walk off 3 run homer in the 9th and a 18 inning scoreless game could have completely gone either way. Verlander got rocked. I like our chances but let’s not look past tonight first.

Rain better relax tonight

This is the kind of game the Yankees are....not particularly well-built for.

I've been saying for several years now that the Yankees aren't constructed to manufacture runs. They're either going on a home run onslaught, or they're gonna strike out 13 times and lose the game 3-1.

The Yankees are favored tonight and I hope playing at home, they come out loud and strong and score early to take the pressure off.
But the fact that Cleveland managed to even get to 5 games has to be a huge morale boost. I probably would expect them to be aggressive tonight (or tomorrow if it's postponed).

Obviously small sample but in this series so far:

Gleyber Torres: 3 for 16, 0 walks, 2 strikeouts
Oswaldo Cabrera: 2 for 15, 0 walks, 8 strikeouts, 1 HR
Giancarlo Stanton: 1 for 12, 2 walks, 5 strikeouts, 1 HR

You've got to put guys on base. This isn't going to cut it, especially if they advance to face Houston -- who are the favorites to win the whole thing now.

Plus they got home field

Yankees' Hal Steinbrenner stopped team from making huge upgrade at shortstop

New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner has been thinking about paying Aaron Judge for quite some time, as his caution played a significant...

Got IKF, Donaldson and his 50 million contract because he was too cheap to get Correa.

You should feel bad because those things happened. You can beat our best starter and still lose a game or play a single game double header and still lose because we have pitcher after pitcher after pitcher coming at you throwing frisbees and whiffle balls
Yankees aren’t a good matchup for the Astros and probably never will

You think Verlander is going to give us two consecutive bad starts?

 

[wtfyomom]

I’m so glad IKF is benched I thought all year this dude would cost us a game in the offs with his errors on routine plays

Cashman or Hal whoever gotta stop this bargain bin shopping bullshyt , we should’ve got Correa

Same with signing dudes like hicks, sick of that garbage

Judge is hitting two homers tonight

 

[gangreen]

Why is Pedro still calling them the Indians

 

[holidayinn21]

If they don’t play today, my guess is either 4 or 5 pm start tomorrow

 

[levitate]

Trash ass weather.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Why is Pedro still calling them the Indians

Everyone's having issues calling them the Guardians.


I got the three TV set up

Yankees
NYCFC
Rangers

I woulda been at Citi Field right now but once the Yankees dropped game 2 I sold my ticket.

 

[K-Deini]

Just call it already
