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

Why do you think Ohtani wouldn't want to play for the Yankees?

I agree with you on Murakami. Yankees shouldn't let him out of their sights.

He peaced them out already knowing the Yankees were moving heaven and earth specifically to land him. I doubt he chooses to go to the East Coast now.

Yeah, that did suck.

But, who knows what will happen? I saw an article that said that he's not against playing for the Yankees, so

Unrelated but I just heard Josh bells voice for the first time

You’re not getting what you want because many of us are happy about this. If this results in Boone and Cashman leaving, it’s a win. New York sports fans are not like you homer fans from around the country. We despise elements of our own.

I’m a Texan fan and hate the ownership and wanted the Texans to lose to get rid of BOB and Easterbay. So, I understand where you coming from.

“Playoffs are a crap shoot” but the Yankees get their ass kicked by astros everytime. Maybe they are just better the same way the Yankees are just better than the twins

Yeah, I didn't expect him to have that voice

What happened to this?

In my opinion, the Yankees need to sign more Japanese & South Korean hitters. Japanese & Korean baseball players are generally more fluid and exciting. They also are usually about contact and making base hits - which is something the Yankees don't seem to how know to do (at least in the playoffs). Getting Munetaka Murakami would be a good start (when he's ready).

Hideki Matsui is a huge reason why the Yankees won the 2009 World Series. He was the WS MVP but just in general, he was a CLUTCH hitter and got base hits. Matsui could suit up right now and get more hits than IKF, Donaldson & Carpenter combined. He threw out the first pitch at Game 3 yesterday.

But what’s their war and exit velocity numbers looking like? And what percentage of times do they hit home runs when the pitcher is 60% into his pitch count when he’s thrown 54% fastballs thrown on a 2-1 count after 8:25pm?

Judge looking at Harper's postseason like "so that's what hitting in October looks like"

@ the possibility of another rainout here. This has been a miserable playoff experience.

Dave Dombrowski is going to the WS with his third different team in the last 10 years. 4th overall with a fourth team

Yet Trashman will tell you the playoffs are a crapshoot
