MLB needs a hard salary cap. There is so much talent on both sides, no team stands a chance. Anyone who says the GMs are great is dumb, this is just who spends the most.
AL baseball was inferior to NL baseball this year by a mile.
NY had this game. It's unreal what a few mistakes will do.
Get rid of Boone. The team is there but Manager needs to change.
Almost all of you said Dodgers would loose, now you change your tune, you suck, Dodgers win.
Die hard Yankee fan here. The Dodgers were just the better team. Yankees gave away game 1 & 5. Can’t give good teams extra chances. Judge learned a lot and will be ready next year. LA Dodgers congrats enjoy your parade.
Stephen A was doing to much after a game 4 win!! Check his vibe out now!!!
3 of 9 Yankee batters that was it…I was concerned about (every) batter 1-9 on the Dodgers. Soto won't waste good years on a team that is so weak. They were lucky to make it this year and unless major trades/firings (Boone) are made they will not be back. Lack of accountability by Boone was major reason. Nothing but excuses for his loving buddies.😮
The Yankees should demand finishing the series in LA to start winning all of 2025 undefeated season
Dodger!
Old people like mad dog who want to discuss 1920 season where he is the only guy alive then in the country
Just discuss the game yesterday only
Judge in the rest of team were not ready for prime time,Dodgers in Ice Cube straight dissed them.
If Yanks 1st Baseman RUSHES The Soft Grounder Instead of WAITING on it He Would Have Been MUCH Closer to 1st Base and Would Have EASILY Beat Runner to The Bag…WHY Did He Let Grounder Come to Him and Rely on Pitcher Covering 1st??…That Was The 1st Basemans Play to Make in My Opinion
Stephen A smith is only a Yankee fan in October
Say it ain't so judge.
My Nats had a 6 run lead over the Cardinals in game 5 in the division round in 2012 and blew it to end their season. I know how you feel Yankee fans!
😂I wish someone was in the ESPN studio to clown Stephen A, the way he clowns Dallas, when they lose😂.
I think Juan Soto is going to sign with the Dodgers. You can see it in his eyes, he wants to win a World Series Championship so bad. The Los Angeles Dodgers will be the next dynasty team. The Dodgers will also go after Japanese star pitcher Rōki Sasaki too. The Dodgers will be a Super team for many years to come. Pretty much they are like the Yankees back then, like buying a championship with star players.
As a Yanks fan, I had Dodgers in 7. I think we missed on multiple opportunities to win games and we didn't. This is baseball..162 games Judge hit 58 homeruns and was pretty stellar in other areas. Post season we need the TEAM to show up. That's what makes the Dodgers that good. Everyone does their part! … just saying!
Roberts managed the Dodgers brilliantly during 2024 post games. Go back and look closely how he managed his bullpen. I think you can say, Roberts is an exceptional baseball general.
Yankees might not have made it that far without Judge. It happens. His error wasn't the only one that made that nightmare inning.
It was the Dodgers year. I think most people knew that when they signed Othani
One game! One game! They didn't swing their bats for the first 3 games. When you start a series in your opponents town, you better bring the fkn wood.
The Bums came back and spanked the Yanks..so many things to say but the Ghost of past failures guided the Flatbush Crew….Don't sit there and talk about what past yankee teams did. They haven't gotten the job done under Boone or for the past 25 years; Quarter of a century….The 5th inning showed a lack of professionalism and coaching. THAT was a MELTDOWN at the worst time. The Yanks of old would have NEVER let that happen. Bravo Dodgers, you did what you came to do. You passed the title of " Bums ", to the Yankees…..Duh
Boone, yes. Some roll my eyes moments watching his skipper decisions… Might be his time.
There was a Cardinals player who dropped a fly ball in the World Series back in the 1940s. When he died his obituary in the newspaper said he dropped fly ball in world series. Terrible
Audio issue like a Kung Fu movie.
Smile on Judges face haha Thats a face of a guy that only cares about the paycheck
I knew Yankees were done when Fat Joe was Ozempic Joe…..if he aint fat, he don't have it
Robert’s made a bad decision in game 4 deciding to go with a pitcher who had only been in the league 2 months and then sticking with him that long after everyone was hitting him. SMH
Two dudes who completely hated on LA hahaha fuck them. We champs!
Give credit to freeman and teosca for getting clutch 2 strike , 2 out hits …. Blame goes to Cole …
Stephen A is a big mouth with an empty mind. STFU!
What is Soto supposed to say? “I’ll only play for the Yankees”? He’s played for three teams and has been traded twice. The teams weren’t thinking about what was best for Soto, they were thinking about what was best for them. This is his best chance to get the BIG contract and I don’t blame him for getting what he has earned.
Exactly
So as a Yankee fan i got to say, I'd trade his 58 home runs for 1 in the ninth of last nights game.
Traumatizing lost by the Yankees, how har is gonna be wearing that Yankees hat 😢
All of you yankee fans saying that the Yankees beat themselves: why is that a real narrative? Couldn’t the teams you beat in previous championships make the same lame ass excuse? This is why nobody likes you. You’re arrogant pricks.
Seeing mad dog makes the late Mike Francesa look intelligent.
Poor Molly got used and tossed to the side
i heard the marlins going to offer soto 1.5 billion for 25 years
I Think. Soto Will Leave. He Already Hinted.
This is what happens when you put analytics above fundamentals and 100 years of baseball instinct, hopefully we can now use both in harmony.
The Yankees need to up their baseball iq, that means fundamentals and not getting out, and if you do get out move the runner. Not everyone should try for homers, some guys just hit homers naturally but even they should be grinding at bats. We had more RBIs in the 90s and 2000s. We need better management as well. You can not take Cole out and put in a starter who has not pitched for 3 weeks because "analytics". Also the team needs to run to first hard even on homers. This is so basic.
Most people in New York fans and just can’t believe it lost play off game and just can’t believe it and just New York basketball team and hockey team and it just ok Steve a smith

野球は走攻守のスポーツ!
心技体がドジャースの方が成熟している!
それが、解ってないのがヤンキース!
日本人の大谷翔平、山本由伸が、心技体プラス道徳を持ち込んだのを理解しないといけない!
ただ騒ぐだけのヤンキースプラスファンを見ればわかるはず!
