"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Game Four: Is This It?

And the hits just kept coming in Game Three. More mistakes, all born of desperation, all too painful to recount here.

Now the Yanks are down 3-0 in this series of sadness.

Nothing to lose now. Go git ’em, boys.

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Here's to not going out without a fight.

2 stormer   ~  Oct 29, 2024 5:08 pm

Look. No matter the outcome we should probably chill on Boone.

Every conceivable decision has already been made.He's just the messenger.

3 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 29, 2024 6:39 pm

Just want them to have a good showing tonight, even if they lose.

Let’s GO!

4 jaynek   ~  Oct 29, 2024 6:40 pm

C’mon Yankees! I believe!

5 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 29, 2024 6:59 pm

[2] Whoever made the decision to bat Stanton 5th today and Jazz 4th,plus CONTINUE to play Vergroundout, these are fireable/indefensible/infuriating offenses :(

6 rbj   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:02 pm

Crap, and I have to take my mom to the dentist at 8:30 in the morning.
Just win tonight

7 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:09 pm

Let's go Yankees!!

8 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:09 pm

Can't win 4 without winning one ... how about winning one tonight?

9 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:11 pm

[5] This is where the facepalm emoji would come in handy.

10 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:12 pm

[9] Hee-hee, or the exploding brain one.
Is Cole not 100%? I'm surprised he didn't go tonight, elimination game starting a rookie? 'Not what you want....'

11 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:14 pm

Wow : (

12 rbj   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:15 pm

Need Luis to be a Gil-a monster.

Aw Fuckity fuck fuck.

13 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:15 pm

Please, please, even with a lead, put Marcus Stroman in to hit that jackass. Why else is he on the roster?

14 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:15 pm

There goes the MVP.

15 jaynek   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:15 pm

Unreal

16 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:18 pm

Verdugo (.195, .283, .317, .600) in instead of The Martian.

17 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:19 pm

Is there something seriously wrong with the Yankee coaching staff? We know the 3b coach is trash, but how do they keep giving Freeman these pitches to crush, is it just bad execution?

18 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:19 pm

That's better.

19 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:20 pm

[17] Dude is in the zone and the Yankees certainly cannot locate.

20 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:23 pm

Would it really be such a bad thing to stick one in Freeman's ribs the next time he comes up? This is frigging batting practice. Boston used to do it to the Yankees all the damn time.

21 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:25 pm

What a maroon ... hope you got your money's worth, moran.

22 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:25 pm

Nice job, dipshit.

23 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:25 pm

Of course

24 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:25 pm

Well, that is something I have never seen before.

25 rbj   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:26 pm

[20] My thoughts as well.

26 jaynek   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:26 pm

That was hilarious

27 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:27 pm

So, strikeout or double play?

28 jaynek   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:27 pm

Ok good job Soto

29 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:30 pm

All right, Judge!

30 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:30 pm

That’s my buddy Ed on organ!

31 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:31 pm

[2] My issue with Boone isn't so much the in game decisions he makes. It's him tolerating players not playing fundamental baseball. We don't need to bunch much but everyone should know how. The base running is atrocious. Guys don't hit the cutoff guy. And when Gleyber dropped that ball the other night it shouldn't have mattered because someone should've been backing him up. So, while I'm rooting for Boone to succeed I want a manager who cares about fundamentals.

32 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:31 pm

Run into one, Jazz. C'mon!

33 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:31 pm

Inexplicable Stanton not hitting cleanup now. Boone is just a horrific manager.

34 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:32 pm

P.S. for Jazz: 47 AB - .170, .220, .255, .475

35 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:32 pm

Bunt much not bunch.

36 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:33 pm

[30] I'm really glad he's playing tonight!

37 OldYanksFan   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:33 pm

[33] Boone needs a LH bat between Judge and Soto.

38 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:33 pm

OK playoff G, let's go!!

39 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:34 pm

Their baserunning is ghastly, the 3rd base coach is a WWI General just itching to send the boys over the top! THIS TIME WE'LL TAKE THE GERMAN LINES, LADS!

40 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:35 pm

OK, but, we actually saw baserunners in the first. Progress!

41 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:35 pm

And that’s that

42 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:35 pm

[37] No, that is not logical given the players and also, all the data shows you just bat your best players higher in the lineup.

43 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:35 pm

This is my shocked face. : /

44 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:36 pm

[39] cult, you are hilarious!

Pro tip - if his name isn't Davey Johnson or Willie Randolph, don't hire a former manager of the Mets.

45 rbj   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:36 pm

I am not surprised

46 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:40 pm

Leadoff double? Shocking!

47 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:42 pm

Hey some GOOD D!
For once

48 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:42 pm

A break!

49 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:42 pm

Now THAT was actually shocking!

50 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:47 pm

I saw on the bird machine earlier that the Yankees watched 24 fastballs last night. Garbage. Rizzo watches another one. Strike 3.

51 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:50 pm

Thanks for the steal ... finally

52 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:51 pm

I think this is the 12th time the Yanks have been in the WS during my lifetime. I was too young to remember the first one, which is the only time we got swept…

53 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:51 pm

What the fucking fucking fuck Volpe????

54 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:51 pm

Nice job,Volpe.

55 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:52 pm

Un-fucking-real
I saw somewhere that we were rated the worst baserunning team in the majors ... I believe it.

56 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:52 pm

Great steal, but why look? And a long one at that. It only slows you down.

And now he doesn’t score??? And the ball didn’t go out???

57 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:52 pm

The 3rd base coach hold was the Yankee play of the series so far.

58 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:53 pm

This is when the crowd should scream the YANKESS SUCK cheer : (

59 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:53 pm

We’re not scoring this inning…

60 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:54 pm

Wells isn't going to score.

61 jaynek   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:54 pm

Ok that’s one run!

62 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:54 pm

A run! Better than not a run!
Verdugo still sucks, and wearing Robbie Cano's #24 is an unsult

63 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:55 pm

[62] er...an 'insult'.

64 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:55 pm

Nice ab there Gleyber. Jesus, these guys are terrible.

65 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:55 pm

Pathetic ... completely pathetic.

Yankees deserve to get swept.

Unreal

66 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:55 pm

Gleyber's success has stemmed from his patience. So fuck it he says.

67 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 7:59 pm

Hmmmmmmmm...... What would Bob Gibson do?

68 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:00 pm

A 1-2-3? Also shocking…

69 rbj   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:02 pm

Hey, a run.

70 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:06 pm

That’s one way to get on base.

And they have the audacity to check itt?

(Middle finger emoji)

71 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:06 pm

Thanks for hitting Judge, assholes

72 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:08 pm

Wow. Ropes a ball and has speed … but it’s only a single.

We’re not gonna score…

73 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:08 pm

Worst swing ever, G

74 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:09 pm

Fucking dumb rule. Now and forever.

75 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:09 pm

Fuck you!!!

76 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:10 pm

Gonna be a really annoying double play we hit into now…

77 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:11 pm

Now we can hit into the more conventional DP…

78 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:11 pm

Now would be a good time to run to the store, walk the dog, do laundry, etc.... ; )

79 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:11 pm

[76] I think our first baseman is long overdue for a home run, personally...

80 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:12 pm

Dodger manager barking. FUCK YOU!

81 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:13 pm

A pop up is like a VERTICAL home run, Shaun!

82 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:13 pm

Or a pop up. C'mon, Yanks! A lead for my birthday, is that so much to ask?

83 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:13 pm

PATHETIC

84 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:13 pm

That, however ... is a horizontal one!

85 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:13 pm

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

86 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:13 pm

[81] cult I was one batter early!!!

87 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:14 pm

TATER-RIFFIC!!!!!!!! Grand Salami!!!!! A 3-run lead!!!!!

88 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:14 pm

VOLPE!!!

89 jaynek   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:14 pm

VOLPE!!!!

90 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:14 pm

Freakin' rally killers!

91 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:15 pm

I can’t muster up much more than a golf clap

92 rbj   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:15 pm

Geez, I leave for a minute . . .

93 jaynek   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:15 pm

[91] we went crazy! A chance to cheer!

94 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:15 pm

No way! Volpe the KID@!!!!

95 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:16 pm

[92] I believe Ara made that suggestion [78] :)

96 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:16 pm

My hands are red from clapping

97 jaynek   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:17 pm

What a great moment for Volpe!

98 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:18 pm

That’s the way to hit and field. About damn time

99 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:20 pm

I wish I would have gone nuts, like I did when Soto went BOOM against Cleveland, but I feel defeated and deflated

100 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:20 pm

[99] Hey man, it's all good. Gotta feel how you feel.

What a double play!!!

102 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:21 pm

Hey. A team that looks like they belong!

103 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:21 pm

Good D this inning! Vibe feels different.....maybe at least they can get it back to L.A.?

104 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:22 pm

Fucking beautiful. We look like a real baseball team!

105 thelarmis   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:22 pm

Fuck. We can’t catch a break

106 Shaun P.   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:23 pm

[105] We got this!

107 stormer   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:25 pm

Let's do this! No mercy.

108 rbj   ~  Oct 29, 2024 8:26 pm

[95] How much dog walking can I do? Besides, they are sleeping now.
