Has Big Papi done more damage to the Yankees as a player or as a commentator for turning this phrase into something so catchy?

[u/pitabread12 → u/ZhangtheGreat]

It’s truly incredible that he managed to rack up one last W on the Yankees even after retiring

[u/Fit-Television-888 → u/pitabread12]

One last W? It's the gift that keeps on giving for him, he'll get one every year the Yankees are good enough to make the playoffs in the current state of the team

[u/MeanCantaloupe69 → u/pitabread12]

Just one? He had a pretty good time when the Dodgers beat the Yankees too.

[u/JoeyJoeJoeChestnut → u/ZhangtheGreat]

Just an unfettered hate

[u/Kaldricus → u/ZhangtheGreat]

The Yankees have done their fair share of heavy lifting for elevating the phrase as well

[u/agb2022 → u/ZhangtheGreat]

Definitely as a commentator. Look, Big Papi was a great player, but there’ve been hundreds of great players. Papi is probably not one of the 100 greatest players ever (ranked 259th in bWAR).

But as a commentator, this man is a generational hater. As much as he tortured Yankee fans as a player with clutch performances, his hate will live on for decades - haunting generations of Yankee fans for decades to come. Even Yankee fans born after Big Papi’s career ended must now suffer this nightmare he hath brought upon us.

[u/no_one_canoe → u/agb2022]

Definitely as a commentator. Look, Big Papi was a great player, but there’ve been hundreds of great players. Papi is probably not one of the 100 greatest players ever (ranked 259th in bWAR).

But thanks to playing when and where he did (and being absurdly clutch), he's literally the all-time leader in postseason WPA. Mostly not against the Yankees, to be fair (not that every Sox win didn't hurt you guys a little), but he did pretty much single-handedly win the 2004 ALCS.

[u/Elitist_Daily → u/no_one_canoe]

Just because I was curious after seeing your comment, 0.46 of his 3.2 total postseason WPA came from the single grand slam vs detroit in 2013 lmfao

1/7th from a single hit is insane given that he's also the postseason WPA leader

[u/TKenney3 → u/Elitist_Daily]

That hit gives me chills everytime. Could watch it on loop and never get bored. That’s gotta be one of the clutches hits in playoff history. It turned the whole series around. Without that hit the Sox’s are down 0-2 going back to Detroit

[u/Elitist_Daily → u/TKenney3]

tory hunter flipping over the wall in the same frame as the cop cheering with both fists raised is as hilarious as it is iconic

*one fist raised

(But both hands raised, lol)

[u/SilentRanger42 → u/agb2022]

  Papi is probably not one of the 100 greatest players ever

This dude carried 3 different teams to World Series titles including breaking the curse. I’m sorry but the stats can go fuck right off. Papi is a top 5 player of his generation and better than every player the Yankees have had since he joined Boston. Full stop. He’s absolutely a top 100 player in baseball history.

[u/pancreaticlemons1 → u/agb2022]

career WAR rankings aside, do you really think Papi isn’t top 100 all time?

[u/123full → u/ZhangtheGreat]

I would argue beating the Yankees in 2004 was the beginning of the end of the Yankees being the evil empire. He’s most likely done more for Yankee haters than any other person in recent history

[u/BokeTsukkomi]

"Daaaa... Jankees lose" is probably david ortiz's biggest contribution to baseball, ngl

[u/cincobarrio → u/BokeTsukkomi]

I work for a NYC agency and every Met fan in my facility runs around screaming “daaaa jankees lose!” the morning after we get bounced out of the postseason. I shit you not, every October they yell it louder and louder.

[u/Crayola_ROX → u/cincobarrio]

We have to deal with their insufferable asses all year. So yes. this is the one day a year they cant clap back with

27 RINGS (mind you old enough to remember first round exists because they are 21 years old lol)

[u/tommyjohnpauljones → u/Crayola_ROX]

One ring since 2000

[u/BokeTsukkomi → u/tommyjohnpauljones]

10 teams have shorter WS droughts than the yankees. Maybe 11 in a couple of weeks

[u/tommyjohnpauljones → u/BokeTsukkomi]

They had an 18 yr drought from 1978-96. This was year 17 since 2009.

The Dominican Boys know it !

[u/futhatsy → u/WayAcrossTheWorld]

David Ortiz's biggest contribution to baseball was raising an entire generation of Dominican players that hate the Yankees.

[u/centaurquestions → u/futhatsy]

Give Pedro a little credit too

[u/yankee4life → u/centaurquestions]

In more ways than one. Pedro pushed for Boston to sign Papi after he was released by Minnesota.

[u/PassiveMenis88M → u/yankee4life]

And the reason he did is because David took what Pedro thought was a perfect pitch and yacked that thing into the upper deck.

[u/TheVaniloquence → u/centaurquestions]

And Manny

[u/renee_gade → u/TheVaniloquence]

and Doug Mientkiewicz.

[u/chickenBUTTlet → u/renee_gade]

Dominican Doug as I’ve always called him

[u/AGSattack → u/chickenBUTTlet]

Good old Dominican Doug sitting at the colmado on a white plastic chair, eating mangú con los tres golpes, drinking a Presidente with bachata music in the background

[u/darthstupidious → u/AGSattack]

You took the words right outta my mouth

[u/OnlyForBaseball → u/AGSattack]

Doug’s more of a dembow kinda guy, he’s probably got some Braulio Fogon going

[u/bryce_lynch27 → u/futhatsy]

And because Pedro says he was part of the reason Ortiz came to the Red Sox.

This is all Pedro’s fault

[u/Bravefan212 → u/bryce_lynch27]

That and the fact the twins thought $1M was too much to pay big papi

[u/IronicMnemoics → u/Bravefan212]

Papi wouldn't have turned into Papi here. Happy for him.

[u/centaurquestions → u/IronicMnemoics]

I love the stories about the Twins telling him to hit more singles.

[u/WorldlinessTrick11 → u/Bravefan212]

Hey man, you can also add on some blame to the Mariners for trading Ortiz to the Twins even when A-rod, Griffey, and Edgar were begging the front office to bring him up to Seattle.

[u/Formal_Potential2198 → u/bryce_lynch27]

Just when I couldn't love Pedro more

[u/SnooRadishes2312 → u/futhatsy]

Guerrero has his own reasons to hate yankees because of some history the club had with his dad.

But definitely Ortiz is the one to get Guerrero ripping that line

[u/BUSean → u/futhatsy]

God bless him.

Take all the roids you want Papi.

Come on Basallo we need you for this.

[u/exjr_ → u/WayAcrossTheWorld]

Imagine me being Dominican, getting to know these guys more and appreciate them from the WBC... while also having them do damage to the Yanks

But they deserve it. They didn't cheat to get there, they (and team) were better.

[u/PaladinGodfather1931 → u/WayAcrossTheWorld]

Something about his teammate lightly pouring the beer on his shoulders with that big smiles is sending me lol

[u/TheVirtual_Boy]

Ironically if Boone finally gets canned yankee fans will probably look back fondly on the 2026 Rays lol

[u/FireRedJP → u/TheVirtual_Boy]

He's not even that bad as a manager but something has to change, theres got to be some culture problem that creates the exact same summer collapse that costs us the division and home field advantage every year.

[u/SleepyGorilla → u/FireRedJP]

I think most fan bases would be very pleased if Boone was their manager and was putting out the results he does with the Yankees. Yankees fans talk about wanting more though, and I honestly think that's valid. They have a historic franchise with a history of winning it all and they have a franchise history of doing what they need to do ($$$) to make it happen. So when the team continues to fail despite continuing to pump that much money into, it's a failure when they don't win it all. It's a unique POV compared to pretty much any other team's fan base, but doesn't make it wrong.

[u/24RoDieselFuel24 → u/SleepyGorilla]

Personally the most frustrating part is the amount of waste in this team. Over 162 the Yankees still win a lot but it’s not as much as they should. They constantly give away games. It really shows when the bats go cold or injuries happen. When the quality of the play becomes important the Yankees lose but it doesn’t seem to be addressed. They don’t know how to win a tough game. For the last 8 years they brute-force their way through the regular season and lesser teams in the playoffs. Inevitably, they play a team that is close enough or more talented that plays cleaner baseball and they get mopped. Pair that with some truly baffling personnel choices, horrible roster construction, and an apparent lack of accountability, and it’s no surprise this plays out year after year.

[u/Every-Challenge4212 → u/FireRedJP]

He’s like John Harbaugh post-Lamar.

[u/thegreatherringwar → u/FireRedJP]

LMAO. He's a mediocre manager. He's a great friend to his players and an even better yes man to the front office. But, he sucks at his job. He has a history of players deteriorating under his strength and conditioning staff. I'm not going to get into the defensive and base running atrocities. Players somehow forget those when they spend time with the Yankees. Their "winning seasons" are lipstick on a rotting carcass.

[u/Deserterdragon → u/TheVirtual_Boy]

I dunno, it's been eight years and Cashman is still building elite rosters, time for a change.

[u/CenaSucks → u/TheVirtual_Boy]

If this is what finally does it I’ll buy a Jonathan Aranda jersey.

[u/MoreOrLess_iGuess]

Papi started quite the endearing trend

[u/blueipDriver → u/MoreOrLess_iGuess]

Much love to our boy Big Papi

https://giphy.com/gifs/aErJrZx3O2khy

[u/iheartsunny → u/MoreOrLess_iGuess]

Papi is the Yankees Papi

[u/goldfish_11 → u/iheartsunny]

Does that technically make him Pedro's grandfather?

[u/SirFerguson]

The franchise deserves this ridicule. And we fans deserve to be angry that they put us in this position to be perpetually embarrassed. And i’m not talking about the “27 rings bro” people. The rest of us were pissing our pants going into this series, even with a little confidence boost from the WC.

So have fun haters. I got nothin.

[u/Tulidian13 → u/SirFerguson]

The haters said you couldn't do it. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the haters.

[u/SirFerguson → u/Tulidian13]

and opposing teams said “just put the ball in play and they’ll fuck it up.” incredible stuff all around really.

[u/GamerJosh21 → u/SirFerguson]

Man, imagine losing to the 2026 Yankees in the postseason...🫤😬

...must be embarrassing...😅

[u/Plane-Yam-5475 → u/GamerJosh21]

"just put the ball in play"

Red Sox: No, I don't think I will

[u/BloodyRightNostril → u/SirFerguson]

[u/ArmyofThalia → u/BloodyRightNostril]

This is genuinely fucking hilarious

[u/Outside-College-2797 → u/SirFerguson]

Agreed. I knew the rays were gonna spank us. We’ve haven’t played that well all year. The offense has been mediocre and with the injuries as well, it was a long shot.

[u/Semantia → u/SirFerguson]

I hate the Yankees as much as anyone, but at a certain point isn't it acceptable to just say "that's the playoffs".

It's just a crap shoot. Over a full season it's clear they are, and have been a good team. The exact same thing could have happened to the Rays and I wouldn't have been surprised.

Maybe I'm just coping from the Jays last year, but making it to the Division Series is still impressive. Only one team can win it all.

[u/SirFerguson → u/Semantia]

if we had played our best, sure. but the top down decision making and sloppy play, especially after last year’s world series embarrassment (a series I didn’t have a lot of confidence going into even at our best but still) have become a problem. I don’t mind getting outplayed by a good Rays team - it’s basically a semi annual tradition at this point because that franchise builds winners. But to be swept after a shutout and a 5 error game… it’s the team.

[u/mikebrownhurtsme → u/SirFerguson]

We consistently flame out offensively in the playoffs while getting embarrassed baserunning and fielding

Just make us play baseball. We can’t do it

[u/Semantia → u/SirFerguson]

That's definitely a fair take. I guess I just feel like you can take literally any team and find a three game stretch where they play like shit and when it falls during the playoffs it just means more.

I still think the Yankees are an impressive team. 

[u/Electrical-Sense-156 → u/SirFerguson]

This team is not set up to succeed in the playoffs. It’s like the bizzaro moneyball A’s with the same outcome

[u/SomthingClever1286 → u/Semantia]

The fact that the 24 World Series collapse didn’t trigger a massive shake up in the coaching and management is shocking.

[u/xzElmozx → u/SomthingClever1286]

Forreal. Once that Dodgers scouting report went public the org should have cleaned house then and there

“We’ve assembled an amazing baseball team with only one weakness!”

“Nice what’s their one weakness?”

“Playing baseball”

[u/Jacko-Jack → u/SomthingClever1286]

To us too

[u/gnitsuj → u/Jacko-Jack]

Was it though? I feel like there was absolutely nothing shocking about it honestly

[u/LP99 → u/Semantia]

You’re not wrong, but this Yankees team specifically got swept, never led at any point, committed five errors in Game 2, and every bat other than Ben Rice was underwhelming or hurt.

The Yankees have too much talent and money to go out like that with a shoulder shrug.

[u/spazz720 → u/Semantia]

Too many people take this shit way too serious. The Rays were the top team in the league for a reason…people acting like the Yanks were favored or something.

[u/osound → u/spazz720]

The Yankees under Boone literally don’t win playoff series against higher seeded teams, so yeah, this shit was obvious.

You would figure being unable to overachieve in any capacity during the playoffs over a 9 year period would prompt a change though.

[u/DataLore19 → u/Semantia]

Nobody wants to hear it but the real challenge is getting into the playoffs. The World Series winner is just the hottest/luckiest team that gets in.

You could easily make the argument the Jays outplayed the Dodgers last year but it's only 7 games and we got unlucky enough and Yamamoto was hot enough to tip the scales.

The playoffs is just a fun tournament for the best teams in the league and doesn't necessarily determine who the best team is. You already had 162 game sample size to determine that.

[u/Manawah → u/Semantia]

Watching the Yankees all year it really wasn’t clear to me that they were good despite the W/L record. They had so many games with 0 or 1 runs scored. The roster varied nightly, as did the batting order and who played what position. Boone sets the lineup like I set my fantasy lineup on the toilet every morning; he tinkers like it’s his job. This never looked like a real contender because there’s no cohesion. Not sure which other teams could say they have the same issue but it’s the same story every year at this point. We succeed because of our payroll despite all the massive issues that inevitably cause us to lose after the WC round every year

[u/equivalentMartingale]

Wikipedia says he convinced his parents to name his little brother Girardi after Joe girardi is that real lol

[u/CobblerBeginning4416 → u/equivalentMartingale]

Yup lol.

[u/Bandit_Raider → u/jesuswasahipster]

[u/kingofthefall]

Why do Dominicans hate the Yankees so much? Because of Big Papi?

[u/Specialist_Ad_6921 → u/kingofthefall]

Because all the Puerto Ricans are Yanks fans!

[u/Flythagoras → u/Specialist_Ad_6921]

There are more Pirates jerseys in PR than there are in Pittsburgh.

[u/OnlyForBaseball → u/kingofthefall]

It’s not Dominicans, it’s star players on rival teams who presumably get tons of flack (to put it lightly) from Yankees fans on social media (or in Ortiz’ case, in the press)

It’s not like you see Teoscar Hernandez or Jose Ramirez talking big shit

[u/KingTutKickFlip → u/OnlyForBaseball]

It is actually Dominicans too though. There was a huge amount of pro-Red Sox vibes in DR for a long time because of the Dominican megastars they had- Papi, Pedro, Manny etc

[u/OnlyForBaseball → u/KingTutKickFlip]

Oh for sure, but then you have a huge Dominican population in NY with tons of second and third generation Yankee fans. And I’m sure there are plenty in the DR itself too. I mean, Oneil Cruz was named after Paul O’Neill lol

[u/Radthereptile → u/OnlyForBaseball]

Maybe his family were big Reds fans.

[u/jumpinjacktheripper → u/KingTutKickFlip]

ya it’s not that dominicans particularly hate the Yankees it’s that dominicans particularly love big papi and that became a classic papi moment as soon as he said it

[u/YaSurLetsGoSeeYamcha → u/kingofthefall]

Why does anyone outside of New York not hate the Yankees as much?

[u/Disused_Yeti → u/YaSurLetsGoSeeYamcha]

Hey I’m in New York and doing my part to hate the Yankees from inside

[u/SiphenPrax → u/YaSurLetsGoSeeYamcha]

People in New York hates the Yankees too. Almost half the metro area hates them!

[u/stormwalker29 → u/YaSurLetsGoSeeYamcha]

My Yankees hate is somewhat diminished since 2010, just because the 2010 ALCS is my #2 sports memory of all time (I was there for Game 6 and the absolute bedlam when A-Rod struck out to send the Rangers to the World Series). Not gone, because they're still the Yankees, but I don't hold the playoffs in the '90's against them so much anymore.

(if anyone is curious, #1 is obviously the 2023 World Series. #3 is the 2023 ALCS, which is only behind the 2010 ALCS because I was *there* in 2010 and I had to watch 2023 on TV).

[u/ZroDgsCalvin → u/kingofthefall]

[u/eb12se4nt-z13ow-97g0 → u/kingofthefall]

Dominicans are one of their largest fan base. They just don't play for the Yankees.

[u/GiannisIsTheBeast → u/kingofthefall]

The Yankees have always been viewed like how the Dodgers are now. No one likes a big market team that buys World Series titles.

[u/Tom_Cruise → u/GiannisIsTheBeast]

Crazy but true fact: The last time the Red Sox won a title, they were first in payroll. The Yankees were seventh.

[u/JonMatrix → u/Tom_Cruise]

Also crazy but true: The Rays have the highest payroll of the remaining 3 American League teams, but they are 25th overall in MLB.

[u/Mr_Evil_Dr_Porkchop → u/JonMatrix]

And the Brewers are sitting around 20th. I think the 4 Non-Dodger teams combine to barely beat out the Dodgers by themselves in combined payroll

[u/DimmuBorgnine → u/Tom_Cruise]

Yeah there’s really no truth to thr perception but the narrative matters. The Red Sox built up 100 years of underdog vibes but I think they’re largely gone at this point.

That said I’d never root for the Yankees against them, but I am certainly becoming more mellowed with age in terms of hating the Yankees. The current club is nothing like the early 00s lineups that I detested so much. 

[u/sup3rdr01d → u/DimmuBorgnine]

Bold to assume there will be a cap

It’s becoming a nice autumn tradition

Never gets old.

“Da jankees lose” meme to crying after losing to the dodgers pipeline in full effect

I can honestly say one helps sustain one through the other

Congrats Tampa. Successful season

TB walked the walk, now they can talk the talk all they want

I don't blame him. Playoff Yankees fans are garbage people. I love going to the games but certain sections are chock full of garbage.

Absolutely beautiful.

I like whenever anything Michael Kay has said gets shoved back into the Yankees' faces.

Full on poverty World Series: Tampa/white Sox vs. Brewers right before a lockout would be hilarious.

[u/KakeLin → u/IvanPaceJr]

Everyone wants this

God fucked up with giving us Franco, so he made it up with Caminero

[u/Lil_PuppyChow]

Also that translation, is not reflecting how much he’s belittling the Yankees. The fact that he’s saying “yankita” he’s emasculating them. In Spanish it’s a cutesy way of calling something by ending it with “ita”

“What are the poor little Yankees going to say now? Let them watch the whole thing, talk now little poor Yankees, what are the poor little Yankee’s going to say now? Daaaaa Yankees lose”
Pure cinema

Thanks for the info Lil_PuppyChowita

[u/Prize-Flamingo-336 → u/Lil_PuppyChow]

This is wrong. Yankita just means Yankees fan. That’s the Dominican way of saying it.

You love to see it

I’m laughing not just at the edit but also at how much of a bandwagon LeBron is that I can visualize this 💀

Really happy for yall btw

[u/Methamine]

I don’t hate the rays. I hate my team

[u/Airbornf]

I don't recall ever saying this dudes name. but I do love petty, so I'm a fan now!

[u/gunnisonyeti]

That tight little "Gracias" after is absolute peak

[u/GOATmar_infante]

My Royals had a real tough year... But seeing the Yankees lose does put a smile on my face

[u/Leading-Arm3110]

this guy needs to be on the Rays long term just like Murakami with the White Sox

[u/CutiePie0023]

Big Papi is proud right now :)

[u/sup3rdr01d]

David ortiz is such a legend for that clip
