  2. The smirking just kind of tells me he’s not too upset whether we win or lose. I just think it’s a mentality you’d never see from the 90s Yanks. They’d be upset and irritated and ready for revenge.

    edit: to clarify, I do believe he -wants- to win and is trying to win, but it’s more just the vibe of “ehh it’s just a game at the end of the day”. Sure, it is a game, but there’s also a lot of pride and legacy tied to the game. You’re not getting any younger, and there’s a very realistic possibility you’ll go down as the best Yankee to never win one — which is not a title any Yankee legend would want. Ask Mattingly

  7. That’s the “I’m almost on vacation” type of smirk. Dude is the James Harden of the MLB

  13. Biggest disappointment of this era. The chosen one doesn’t transfer to any postseason leadership

  16. I love the man, great yankee, but holy fucking shit stop smiling. you just got embarrassed in back to back games in the ALDS by the fucking blue jays. wipe the grin off your damn face, get a meaningful hit or two. Win the series and then you can smile all you want.

  17. After the Knicks got eliminated this past season Brunson was PISSED in his postgame presser and visibly looked like he was ready to kill someone.

    Meanwhile this bum every year is a AA level player in the playoffs while he’s just ho hum smirking and doesn’t give a single fuck. Have fun with your MVPs buddy

    Dude is the James Harden, Auston Matthews and Lamar Jackson of the MLB

  23. laughing and smiling what the fuck is so funny? your legacy is striking out with the bases loaded and dropping a routine out what the fuck is there to laugh and smile about

  24. Giving this guy a captain badge because he broke an arbitrary record was a massive mistake. Mega contract? Sure idgaf. Captain badge? Hell no.

    Let’s be honest here if it wasn’t for an absurd performance by Schlittler in game 3 the Yankees would be meeting up with Juan Soto in Cancun for cocktails right now.

    Pitching sucked today don’t get me wrong but this isn’t based off of one game or one series. But this guy can’t hit for shit when the lights get bright.

    “Oh well he has a high average so far.” From the words of the manager of this team, baseball isn’t a hitting game, it’s a run scoring game. If your power hitter/MVP doesn’t hit for XBH you won’t win anything.

    Losing is one thing because he’s no different than any other Yankee in 16 years but he just doesn’t give a damn. The offense didn’t do shit until the 7th inning. 12-0. Whoopty doo the Yankees scored a few runs when it was out of reach already.

    The lackadaisical attitude stems from the manager all the way down. “Ah well we gotta do better.” “Ah we’re on to tomorrow’s game now.” “Ah well the pitching was shit so what are we gonna do now.”

    If Boone and Judge were captains of the titanic and gave an interview it’d be “We can’t do anything about icebergs in the ocean.” No, but you’re the ones that keep driving the goddamn ship into them over and over again.

    It’s BULLSHIT. You’re the fucking Yankees. If they get swept by Toronto heads need to roll. And if that doesn’t happen (it won’t) expect mediocrity next season as well.

    Rant over, goodnight.

  25. The Yankees of yesteryear would have taken responsibility. None of this smirk crap. Jeter would’ve said they played horrible, didn’t hit, didn’t hit with runners in scoring position, etc. There would be no sugar coating this embarrassment.

  27. I can’t stand this dude sorry. Idgaf what you people gotta say he never shows any fire and sucks every playoffs. If he was a good postseason player we would have at least 2 more rings

  28. Basically “Aw shucks guys. I don’t know. All we can do is try.”

    I’m sick to death of this mentality from the Yankees.

  30. His agent should have called him immediately afterwards: stop smiling. That loss was an embarrassment.

    He may be the captain but I do not see him rallying this team with inspiration.

  32. And by anything, he means even he can produce with RISP. One can hope. He’ll be saddled with this tag until he unfucks himself like Arod in 09.

  34. I’m starting to think Judge doesn’t actually care if he gets a ring. Sure, he probably wants one and the same way I want a Ferrari, but he isn’t going to be upset when it doesn’t end up happening. 

  36. “Anything can happen”. That’s the kind of quotes that drive me crazy.

    If you do your job, NO, that’s not true. Their scouting department didn’t see a single pitch of the kid that embarrased you yesterday. He was throwing splitters at the dirt all the time and you were swinging like fools.

    When you have allowed 23 runs in TWO games, you have done an awful job. The Blue Jays are not the 1998 Yankees. They probably have a worse roster, but they are coached WAY better than this team.

    And that smile… I am not saying that he should be crying or swearing but man…
