JORGE POSADA: “I CAN’T WATCH TODAY’S BASEBALL.”

Yankees legend Jorge Posada, a 4-time World Series champion and one of the faces of the dynasty years, (The Core 4) did not hold back during his interview on Abriendo El Podcast.

Posada said today’s game has become too robotic, too obsessed with formulas, and too accepting of strikeouts.

“The baseball being played today is garbage,” Posada said.

He also pushed back hard on the analytics crowd trying to judge Derek Jeter’s defense strictly through modern numbers.

“You can’t judge Jeter through a computer.”

That line right there is pure old-school Yankees.

Posada came from an era where putting the ball in play mattered. Moving runners mattered. Taking pride in not striking out mattered. He said back then, striking out 100 times in a season felt like you were not doing your job.

Now? Guys can strike out constantly, hit 30 home runs, bat .202, and still get paid like stars.

His message was simple:

The game got smarter on paper, but dumber between the lines. #yankees #repbx

18 years ago today, Jaÿ-Z became the first rapper to headline Glastonbury and trolled Oasis when they said rap had no place there. He came on stage playing their song Wonderwall then flipped it into 99 Problems and destroyed the stage.

“Do you ever really win at baseball?”

I can’t stop thinking about this line.

I bet if you took a poll of Kansas Citians, most would prefer to stay in a stadium like Arrowhead.

It’s the Hunt family that wants to leave.
