@824ever_ we'll worry about that if it happens

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

I'm gonna say it. I think this might be the best Yankee roster since 2009.

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

@824ever_ McMahon is an elite defender and roughly average in xwOBA last year (even though he's looked lost as a Yankee at the plate). Caballero brings the legs to complement the team. I'm not mad at that

@NeilKeefe There's good evidence that batting your worst hitter 7th is the optimal lineup strategy

Watching Devin Williams pitch, you wonder how at any point he became a lockdown reliever. Throws fucken slop.

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

The Yankees were up 4-0 with bases loaded and nobody out, and they were one bloop away from blowing that lead. Devin Williams can kiss my taint.

Carlos Rodon throwing 92mph fastballs down the middle is going well

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

Two things can be true at the same time. Losing Soto sucks dicks and the Yankees probably won't be great in 2025. And also, paying someone who will be a DH in 2030 more than a quarter billion is probably not wise (unless you're worth $21B)

@sarchumor Because he's been nails all year and all postseason with one pitch

Nobody has it worse than we do and I mean that completely unironically.

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

I'm not even including games like the 2021 WC game. I'm only talking about games in which the Yankees were flat out embarrassed, or had a 99% chance of winning and then collapsed.

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

Any one of these losses would classify as an "all-time bad loss" that you'd remember forever. The Yankees have had double digit historically bad losses just in the Judge era alone.

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

Being a fan of a team that's expected to win every year and then doesn't is significantly worse than any other type of sports fandom. It's an abusive relationship.

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

In what world is a man being forced to be a recluse for something that wasn't his fault a better reflection of society than having fun with a guy who did something comically dumb?

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

@realjordan_M "Hey Anthony. Tomorrow meet me at the park and let's go over what to do when you're on second base and a fly ball gets hit off the wall. I'd like to coach you on this."

This is how you think MLB works. Goodnight.

*Judge drops easiest fly ball of all time*

*Volpe can't make a throw*

*Rizzo/Cole botch routine grounder*

Fans: Aaron Boone must be fired

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

@realjordan_M Yeah if only Boone were to drill into them "hey guys, don't make baserunning mistakes that little leaguers wouldn't make." Damn, you're right. All Boone had to do was coach them better.

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

@Yankees .000 batting average with RISP. 24 arguments with umps on pitches in the zone. Awesome player.

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

@realjordan_M It's just not the manager's ultimate responsibility. It just isn't. It's classic scapegoating.

Boone is given a roster of players. The roster of players is poor at defense and the slowest team in MLB. It's not on him to snap his fingers and "coach" them to be faster and cleaner

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

@realjordan_M Right. If you want to win, the players have to play better.

They've been fielding grounders and fly balls since they were 5 years old.

They miss one in the World Series and it's on Aaron Boone, who makes a miniscule fraction of their salary.

Look up the word "scapegoat"

[The Yankee Fan @YankeeLiveTweet]

@realjordan_M LOL it's not worth discussing with you anymore. First you're arguing that Boone is responsible for bad defense and now your entire argument is they played bad defense? My guy, NOBODY was arguing that.
