Arlington to the Bronx, it’s deeper than rap.

who are these Yankees and can we keep them?

3-0

The feeling has been restored
The attitude of this team feels 100% different. Like how they did in early 2022 before they got no hit at home by Houston, but even more confident. All game every game so far they kept having good at bats and putting runners on. I swear, if the Martian turns out to be what we hope he can be :ohlawd:

Maybe we just needed some players that aren’t intimidated by them, unlike some captains :sas2:
Latinos , whites , Asian players all respected Jeter.

Can't say Judge holds that same weight , case in point --> this quote from Oswaldo says alot


"Oswaldo Cabrera made it a point to watch Juan Soto, who he calls the team’s “Latin Leader,”

There was never a divide with the Yankees like that , sure Cano & Cabrera fukked with A-Rod heavy but they still followed Jeters lead.

Nah. 2009 was an interesting time. There was a divide between the old guard and the newer guys. Cano, Melky, Cervelli, sure they respected Jeter, but they fukked with A-Rod, CC, Burnett, whereas Jeter, Pettitte, Mo, Posada, they kinda did their own thing. They won, they all liked each other, but I remember they immediately dealt Melky because he was rockin too much with Cano and A-Rod and felt like separating him was best for everyone.


Soto is necessary because he brings an energy this team has tried to get but hasn't had. With Soto, it's credible because he's 25 but has a ring, has the numbers and can get the respect from the vets and the newer gen. That's why it's been a major emphasis of importance to have Dominguez around Soto. Judge is captain because up to now he's been our best player, he's the best company guy, been around the longest and let's be real, they kinda needed to make him captain to grease the wheels towards making him stay. Assuming Soto stays, he's gonna have the ear of guys like Dominguez, Jones, Arias

This is Judge’s team and rightly so, but the big thing with Soto is that they needed an outsider who’d won it all to help change the attitude and culture of the team. Guys who’ve been here since day 1 can’t be that when the people in charge of the operation create a losing culture. Would’ve been similar with the energy and attitude Harper and Machado would’ve brought.

Yeeeeeah it’s time for a Coli link up at the stadium in May if brehs are with it
I work Monday through Friday so it’ll have to be a weekend game or a Friday night game since I work in the Bronx 25-40 minutes away from the stadium depending on the traffic and could drive there after work.
