THE NEW YORK YANKEES HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM 2026 WORLD SERIES CONTENTION

[u/CosmicPegasus]

[u/Mazzocchi]

They're faded

I wouldn't say there's really too much of a crowd here. I expect there to be a lot of Yankees fans here. In some ways, you're playing at home. The guys are excited to have that atmosphere here.

[u/whocares8x8]

Hey, if you beat Cole, Schlittler, and Fried consecutively, you deserve it...

[u/Horakochan → u/whocares8x8]

Hard for the pitchers to win when half of the fielders are playing against you.

Jazz and Grisham were like “I got you” to the haters and they followed through 

[u/JerseyDvl → u/True-Source-6512]

The moment the lineup came out with Grisham batting leadoff in front of Rice you knew exactly how the game would end. It couldn't have ended any other way.

[u/book_of_armaments → u/JerseyDvl]

I'll say, it was pretty sweet having Grisham up instead of Uncle Ben at the end there.

His comment about the Yankees sending these frauds to bed was oddly prophetic, although he was wrong about who the frauds were. Of course, the coward has his comments hidden AND deleted them:

[u/Head_of_Lettuce → u/Powerserg95]

Jerry does care. He just happens to also be an 83 year old alcoholic

[u/Der_Dunkinmeister → u/Powerserg95]

Jerry cares he just sucks ass at it

[u/RxngsXfSvtvrn → u/TuloCantHitski]

Hey, don't forget "do nothing at the trade deadline" either!

[u/therealgranny → u/RxngsXfSvtvrn]

Hey, we picked up a first baseman at the trade deadline. One that has another year of control preventing us from playing Ben Rice at that position requiring him to DH. Because he has to DH we have to play a 35 year injury prone giant in right field to get them both in the lineup. That’s definitely doing something.

[u/FlimFlamThaGimGar]

Not to be dramatic but Aaron Boone batting Trent Grisham leadoff is a decision I will never forgive or forget

[u/Kdoubleaa → u/FlimFlamThaGimGar]

Finished the game 0-5 with Ben Rice on deck as the game ended. Asinine.

[u/ollieollieoxygenfree → u/Kdoubleaa]

I honestly think Grisham at leadoff is on par with Nestor in the WS. Like I truly believe that.

[u/yourecreepyasfuck → u/FlimFlamThaGimGar]

Truly brain breaking. I’ve been on the side of “Boone gets more hate than he deserves” but this was crazy. And Cashman extending Grisham the QO last off-season was also crazy. I don’t ever want to think about Trent Grisham ever again. This will be the last time I ever type his name

[u/Dunder-MifflinPaper → u/yourecreepyasfuck]

You’re gonna type it again when you say “I can’t believe they gave Trent Grisham and Jazz Chisolm qualifying offers again”

[u/BrickhouseDaddy → u/FlimFlamThaGimGar]

Look on the bright side, no matter how bad his decisions are he can never top bringing in Nestor Cortes in the World Series after not pitching for months, it’s technically only up from here!

[u/Internal-Plantain-56 → u/BrickhouseDaddy]

I often wonder what kind of fucking videos Boone has of Cashman.

[u/ImComingBack4YouBaby → u/FlimFlamThaGimGar]

He was batting .104 in the leadoff spot all year. Just comically bad, and Boone decided that was the right move. Just fucking awful

[u/Calvech → u/ImComingBack4YouBaby]

Didn’t understand this move so I looked it up. Trent lifetime was 4/6 against Martinez coming in so Boone really thought he had something clever there. Moneyball!

[u/FireVanGorder → u/FlimFlamThaGimGar]

Is this worse than Nestor? It’s definitely not quite as bad as telling the team the wrong start time for a playoff game.

[u/FlimFlamThaGimGar → u/FireVanGorder]

No, Nestor was the worst managerial decision I’ve ever seen from a Yankees manager

[u/Yeah-the-whole-hog → u/FlimFlamThaGimGar]

worst managerial decision...so far

[u/NotJoe1232]

[u/PolarBailey_ → u/NotJoe1232]

Hey baseball is like that sometimes. You outscore one opponent 17-2 just to get swept in heartbreaking fashion the next.

[u/Trees-Are-Overrated → u/NotJoe1232]

Me too Ishii, me too

[u/Zaknoid → u/NotJoe1232]

Damn this is a sad pic. Whats the context here?

[u/tdmatchasin → u/Zaknoid]

Japanese pro wrestler Tomohiro Ishii. He probably lost a match and is doing as backstage interview. I forget the specific context, but this picture/quote of Ishii is kind of a meme for internet wrestling fans.

Side note: Ishii is one of the best wrestlers on the planet. Dude is like if Oddjob was a little shorter but still just as likely to fuck you up because he somehow won't stay down. If you've got 13 minutes, this is one of the best matches of all time & features him.

[u/Internal-Plantain-56 → u/NotJoe1232]

You people can't hurt me more than Aaron Boone, Jazz Chisolm and Trent Grisham already did.

Certainly sounded like a Rays game at 1pm on a Tuesday

For all the shit talking about the Trop being dead, Yankees stadium was a ghost town in an elimination game.

[u/Excellent-Gur-8547]

The Rays beating the Yankees and Red Sox every other year with a Little League team and a few volunteers on staff is hilarious.

[u/EvilFlyingSquirrel → u/Excellent-Gur-8547]

I feel the Rays are one of the best run teams in all of sports. Small budget, but somehow pull pitchers out of nowhere year after year.

[u/Apolloshot → u/EvilFlyingSquirrel]

Part of me’s like “imagine if you gave them Saudi money” but then I wonder if it’s the constrained budget that makes them so good because necessity breeds innovation…

Like once we enter the salary cap era it wouldn’t surprise me if the Rays became the MLB’s Patriots.

[u/trashlikeyou → u/Apolloshot]

Aren’t the Dodgers basically the Rays with money?

[u/Knook7 → u/trashlikeyou]

Quite literally yes, their GM used to be our GM

[u/jiminytaverns → u/Apolloshot]

The Rays with resources is basically the Dodgers. Andrew Friedman was the Rays GM and he brought over a bunch of the small market strategy when the Dodgers made him president of baseball operations.

Didn’t even lead once in the entire series, and ending on a horrible K from Trent Grisham of all people. Nearly no hit in game one and a comedy of errors in game 2, we only had a little hope in game 3.

How poetically bad we were this series. And yet I don’t expect much to change.

[u/ReallyBrainDead]

My favorite moment of any season.

[u/ProperNomenclature]

I'm honestly surprised how little the Yankees tried to steal in this series. Part of that is the lack of baserunners, but they stole a lot during the regular season and had plenty of chances this series and the Rays struggled to throw out runners all year.

[u/Braunb8888 → u/ProperNomenclature]

I think. It may be. That our manager is a fucking moron. Not stealing with jones is insane with jazz up. You know he’s swinging for the fences. Their catcher can’t throw.

[u/ElBasham]

Oh so NOW we're accurately calling interference on pivotal interference plays by Yankees fans???

[u/Dunder-MifflinPaper]

To leadoff Trent Grisham, who seems INCAPABLE of hitting anything, as your Hail Mary move, resulting in him ending the season, is malpractice.

Aaron Boone hit a dumb luck home run 20+ years ago and because of that I’ve had to see the career of the greatest RH hitter of all time waste away to nothing.

Same bullshit every year and nothing will change because the entire org is so far up their own asses that they think they’re right.

[u/Kip-Kat → u/Dunder-MifflinPaper]

I, for one, think Boone is a great manager and you guys should extend him for 10 more years

[u/Dunder-MifflinPaper → u/Kip-Kat]

The fact that Chad Tracy out-stupid’d him in those two games is honestly a monumental accomplishment. That’s really hard to do.

[u/Kip-Kat → u/Dunder-MifflinPaper]

Maybe Boone is just such a good manager that he brilliantly beat the Red Sox and deserves the 10 year extension

[u/Methamine → u/Dunder-MifflinPaper]

It’s so funny that the Trent leadoff move backfired at the end of the game as well bc rice would have been in that spot (which we would
Have lived with any day)

[u/bell-beefer → u/DLun203]
