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

The difference isn’t just engine size it’s how the engine delivers power. A 2.4L destroker setup reduces piston speed and stress at high RPM, making it ideal for rev-happy, performance-focused builds.
The 3.0L, on the other hand, delivers more low-end torque and everyday drivability. Different setups, different purposes.
