Gleyber Torres: Here since 2018. Leads baseball in errors at 2B since then. “I’m a second baseman. I play second.”
Jazz Chisholm: Here since Saturday. “I’ll play any position to go win a championship”
I’ve watched this 100 times already. What a moment. Credit to the Apple TV announcer (sorry, never caught his name) for his call. Did an excellent job on the call and then laying out so the moment could breathe. Kay would’ve been talking the whole time.
Miguel Andujar’s energy and his willingness to bust his ass to learn and play a new position and do it well have earned him a spot on this team. Instead he’ll rot in Scranton because the
#Yankees
lack the balls to do what’s best for the team and get rid of either Hicks or Gallo.
#Yankees
fans should *never* get over the fact that a 26 year old superstar desperately wanted to play for them and they had absolutely zero interest in even talking to him.

Brian Cashman said he’d prefer to acquire two left handed outfielders.
To
#Yankees
fans that means Juan Soto and Cody Bellinger.
To him that means Alex Verdugo and Kevin Kiermaier.
Reporters: Aaron, who’s playing SS?
Boone: Gio Urshela
*Yankees trade for IKF*
Reporters: Aaron, who’s playing 1B?
Boone: Luke Voit
*
#Yankees
sign Anthony Rizzo*
Someone needs to ask Boone who’s playing CF.
On May 20th Clay Holmes entered the game with a 0.00 ERA.
He proceeded to allow 4 runs and the
#Yankees
lost that game 5-4.
Since that point Holmes has pitched to a 5.05 ERA.
That’s not bad luck. He’s just bad.
The
#Yankees
and Orioles are in a dogfight for the AL East.
Craig Kimbrel blows 6 saves and loses his job.
Clay Holmes blows 10 saves and his manager tells everyone he’s really good.
Juan Soto is getting serenaded by a packed house in Yankee Stadium after hitting an absolute tank and you got delulu Mets fans thinking he’s gonna leave that to go play in front of 18 people and a rally pimp.
If YES is letting Michael Kay loose on Boone it shows me Boone is in real danger here. And I’m telling you right fucking now. Brian Cashman better not be the guy hiring Boone’s replacement.
Ken Griffey Jr. is one of the greatest to ever play MLB.
BUT
I couldn’t give a shit that he wouldn’t have ever signed with the
#Yankees
.
The Yanks did ok with who they had patrolling CF during Griffey’s prime.
Career World Series Titles
Bernie Williams 4
Ken Griffey Jr. 0
The way MLB hands out suspensions is an absolute joke.
Aaron Boone was suspended longer for literally doing nothing than any Astros player was for cheating their way to a World Series.
I watched Derek Jeter play baseball for 20 years and help the
#Yankees
win 5 World Series. IDGAF what his UZR or whatever is. The guy was a winner and OUR fucking Captain. This “hE sUcKeD aT dEfEnSe” shit is stupid and needs to end.
The
#Yankees
can:
Extend Aaron Judge
Sign Carlos Correa
Sign Freddie Freeman
And Hal will still be able to buy an island with the money he finds in his couch.
If 54 year old Mariano Rivera got off his couch and closed for the
#Yankees
this year instead of Clay Holmes, they’re at least 4 games up in the division right now.
Brian Cashman’s refusal to play or trade Clint Frazier and then ultimately designating him for assignment will go down as one of his biggest failures as
#Yankees
GM.
I know we’re all busy calling
#Yankees
fans classless garbage but let’s not lose sight of the fact that Myles Straw climbed a fence to get in a fans face yesterday which no doubt escalated the incident at the end of the game. He should not be given a pass here.
According to Jon Heyman, Hal Steinbrenner was out for blood after the
#Yankees
were shut down by Jameson Taillon.
That’s such a George move to fire someone after a former Yankee comes back and embarrasses the team.
See…it’s in there. Come on Hal, you can do it.
For the first time in 37 years I feel defeated as a
#Yankees
fan. Not because they’re bad. Because they’re not supposed to be bad. There’s something fundamentally wrong with this team.
Aaron Judge finished the regular season with 148 games played, 39 HR, 98 RBI and a .916 OPS.
If he didn’t get Covid he would’ve played in 155+ games and went over 40/100 easily.
A truly phenomenal year from
#99
.
Jorge Posada was asked what he'd like to see the current Yankees take from the 2009 team:
"Just a little attitude. It takes a lot of guts and takes a lot of wanting. I think they can do that."
The
#Yankees
have to stop being cute with Ben Rice. He’s the everyday 1B unless a trade for someone better comes along. The kid is “hitterish” and has a clue at the plate.
The
#Yankees
have five guys they need to get on this roster and they don’t even have to make any “hard” decisions to do so.
Jasson Dominguez
Anthony Rizzo
Scott Effross
Ian Hamilton
Clarke Schmidt
They’ll get two spots tomorrow, Rice and Warren go down. Bickford DFA.
Done.
Luis Castillo has allowed 5 ER in 20.2 innings since being traded.
Frankie Montas allowed 5 ER in one inning tonight.
Moral of the story kids, is pay the price to get the better player.
Michael Kay just said Aaron Hicks was sad after the game last night. Now he knows the feeling. We’ve been sad watching him play baseball for the last 4 years.
I say this as disrespectfully as possible.
You have to literally be the dumbest person walking the face of the Earth to suggest the
#Yankees
should send Aaron Judge to AAA.
“I want Soto but I don’t want to gut the farm.”
“I want Castillo but I don’t want to gut the farm.”
Well, then you don’t want star players. You don’t want to win a World Series. Say that instead.
The
#Yankees
offered Blake Snell a contract that reportedly exceeded the one they gave Rodon. Snell said no. Snell’s camp didn’t want to negotiate. The Yanks moved on to Stroman. It’s March 6th and Snell has had 0 other offers and isn’t in anyone’s camp. That’s not Hal’s fault.

How are you not excited for the 2020
#Yankees
?
Honestly would love to see the
#Yankees
stick Nick Swisher in the booth for 50 games. I want to have fun watching baseball and listen to a guy that’s enthusiastic about the sport.
The
#Yankees
needed a stop gap SS.
They get one from the Twins and take $50M off their payroll.
This allows the Twins to sign Carlos Correa to a 3 year deal.
The exact thing the Yankees needed.
And someone will tell me today that Brian Cashman *shouldn’t* be fired.
Hate Stanton? Too bad you’re rooting for him.
Think Didi should be on the bench? Too bad you’re rooting for him.
The negativity stops now.
This is your team.
We all have the same goal.
#28
No fighting with each other.
No disrespecting your own players.
Let’s Go
#Yankees
I just want to tip my cap to the Texas Rangers and their fans. The Rangers weren’t scared to be a part of history and their fans appreciated and wanted to see history. A very welcomed sight after the last few weeks. Much love from this
#Yankees
fan.
I beg this of Brian Cashman. Stop wasting Aaron Judge’s prime. Have the best trade deadline of your career. Don’t let this man retire without a ring because you could never finish the job.
“Go anywhere in America and you won’t see Red Sox hats and jackets, you’ll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We’re going to put the

back on top and restore the universe to order.”

R.I.P.
Sonny Gray is that girl that always cheats on you. And you’re stupid and keep taking her back. She goes a few weeks without cheating and just when you begin to trust her again, she cheats on you. That’s who Sonny Gray is.
#Yankees
In the biggest series of the year, in which the
#Yankees
needed a sweep to take over the top Wild Card spot, Giancarlo Stanton walked into Fenway Park and destroyed the Red Sox with 3 HRs and 10 RBI.
He has silenced all of you forever.
I can see how this would trigger opposing fan bases but as a
#Yankees
fan it’s so refreshing to see a guy with an attitude and can back it up at the plate.
The General Manager hired Aaron Boone.
The General Manager re-signed Aaron Boone.
The General Manager sign Aaron Hicks.
The General Manager traded for Josh Donaldson.
The General Manager is not giving his manager the organization’s 26 best players.
The General Manager.
Calling Hal Steinbrenner cheap this morning is just ignorant. The
#Yankees
put $300M in front of a guy that has never thrown a pitch in MLB. If they added more Yamamoto would’ve taken it back to the Dodgers like he did with the Mets offer. He wanted LA and to be Ohtani’s sidekick
Gerrit Cole was made the face of spider tack and that’s complete bullshit since the vast majority of MLB pitchers were using shit. So, maybe instead of trying to fuck with Cole in front of his teammates, maybe clubhouse leader Gardy should’ve talked to Cole on the side.
Nick Swisher never had an OPS under .822 with the
#Yankees
.
He was a high energy, switch hitter who could play the outfield and 1B.
He’s the exact type of player the team needs right now.
Watching the
#Yankees
lose sucks. If you’re a diehard fan you put everything into the season. And this is baseball. It’s everyday for nearly 7 months. It becomes your life. It takes so long to get to this point that when it ends in disappointment it feels like a part of you dies.
Tell me Miguel Andujar hasn’t earned Aaron Boone’s trust. The
#Yankees
could’ve easily lost the DH in the 9th inning and had Judge play the OF but Andujar stayed out there in a 1 run game. Says a lot. He deserves to stay up here.
Before you slander Derek Jeter on this app you need to type one of two things.
1. “I’m knocking Derek Jeter because I’m jealous he didn’t play for my team.”
2. “I’m knocking Derek Jeter because I’m 12 and didn’t see him play and can only read a defensive analytics sheet”.
MLB Network can fuck all the way off if they fired Ken Rosenthal for criticizing Rob Manfred. Manfred is above criticism? GTFOH. He’s a fucking stooge and the worst thing to happen to MLB.
Aaron Judge is currently hitting .331
People don’t give him enough credit for being an all around hitter.
He’s the best player in baseball period.
Anyone trying to convince you anyone else is the MVP is either a troll or stupid.
My wife asked me to treat her like I did when we first started dating so I took her to Chili’s then we went to the movies and then I dropped her off at her parents house and went home.
Fans will bash Cashman for not getting SP but it’s a lazy narrative. The
#Yankees
aren’t about to fall in a 3-1 ALCS hole because of their pitching.
This team was tops in MLB with RISP during the season. Now they couldn’t hit one off a tee. That’s why they’re losing.
People that bitch that Juan Soto “walks too much” don’t know ball. Aaron Judge is hitting behind him and y’all act like a base runner for the best player on the planet is a bad thing.
This is the
#Yankees
lineup from 5 years ago today. Seriously don’t look if you’ve eaten recently. And some people want to complain about Neil Walker getting playing time.
Knowing the
#Yankees
, Judge will miss the first week of Spring Training with a “stiff neck” and after a week of “he’s ok” we’ll find out he’ll be out until July because he broke his neck on this play.
Gary Sheffield is a hall of famer regardless of what jabroni sports writers think. He was one of the most feared hitters in MLB. The bat waggle was iconic, imitated by every kid that held a bat in their hand.
Alex Verdugo and Juan Soto were traded for because of their bats and each contributed with RBIs today but their defensive contributions were huge in getting the
