1. Is this one of the biggest meltdowns you've ever seen?

2. Arod musta forgotten how he played in the playoffs for the Yanks. Judge is Arod 2.0

3. Cole not covering first base was the biggest mistake!

4. A – Rod less aka Steroid King should have provided some samples for his team … beside Big Papi – cannot stand in Papi's shadow !!!

5. Jeter or A-Rod lead and manage the Yankees , this is my home home team…if you don't want to do it..then get " Don ( The Hitman ) Mattingly"

   We can't continue to let this happen to our team .

6. A brutal meltdown. Reminded me of coaching my son's little league back when he was 10.

7. No way let Rizzo off the hook. You're taught to charge slow rollers or bouncers. Especially with Betts running. He let the ball slowly roll all the way to him. Then made no effort to bust to the bag. Cole's at fault too no doubt, but that was a lazy play by an experienced player at a horrible time. My take at least.

8. Hmmm. Yanks likely do it next year.

9. I disagree with Alex , the best team are the dodgers. Better pitchers overall
   The result says it all

10. Your 2004 ALCS was worse.

11. People thought the Yankees were gonna pull a Red Sox moment. Instead they pulled a white Sox moment

12. Judge shows he is still young. He not ready to lead. Quite the showing. Manager is not mentoring him and making his presence show.

13. lazy and overpaid

14. You guys forgot about The Rangers 5th inning against Toronto. 3 straight errors. Thats a meltdown

15. Massive choke job.

16. I say “the fix was in” this reminded me of the World Cup finals where France looked like a junior varsity team against Argentina…!!!

17. Down 0-3, no firm believe.

18. Game 5, 5th inning, NYY was not professional ….

19. New York City is a huge error.

20. Defense wins championships.

21. Starting with Judge's rookie mistake the meltdown was really hard to watch..that was no way to lose a game…the Yankees in my humble opinion deserved to win that game..at least that game…I feel bad for them… I truly do..they are after all human and they must be very unhappy with that inning.

22. There were no mistakes made this was rigged it was meant for their dodgers to win. The Yankees must have received a big payment of millions and millions of dollars to lose it. Think about it people. The Yankees have 27 world series. There's no one that can catch up to them, not even in the next 20 years. This is barely dodgers 8th championship. It's pretty clear

23. the lack of focus shown from those many errors are a managerial problem

24. Judge catches it, momentum stays with NY.

25. NY Yankee Management did not ban the ball-grabbing jackwagons (game 4, Mookie's catch) for a season or forever. Refunded their money! Insane. Stupid seems to run through the organization.

26. As a Dodgers fan, I’ll be roasted for trying to be objective, but I’m not even sure how I feel about how they won this game and the series. I had full confidence that they’d win it back in LA, because they were the better team, but this was just… inexplicable and ugly. Cole deserved better.

    One of the worst meltdowns I’ve ever seen? THE worst meltdown I’ve ever seen.

27. A-Rod: “Judge SHOULD have taken PEDs!!!”

28. That Yankee inning was both shocking and disgusting. I have watched professional baseball for 60 years (yes I'm old) and I have never seen an inning like it. It was dismaying to see them totally lose focus and fall apart. And this was in the World Series!

29. Alex Rodriguez should talk…he was a terrible post-season player. He was also on PEDs. Why is he commenting on baseball the FOX coverage is terrible.

30. This is a tragic day for Yankees fans

31. Even the refs were like…Are u kidding me? 😅😅

32. Any advice A rod gives is a joke can’t stand a cheater

33. Except for when you got caught cheating with steroids you dirty dog.

34. Jeter is so Quiet

35. Aaron judge and Gerrit Cole = OOOOOOOVER RATED

36. This was worse than 2004

37. 😅

38. Jajaaaaaaaa

39. It’s ok.. it’s just like WWE

40. First of all, the reason the Yankees lost was because they relied too much on certain players and had a thin roster. The Dodgers had a deeper roster.
    Secondly, many Yankees players had an "I'll decide" or "I, I, I" attitude.
    All of the Dodgers players were committed to team play, saying "Let's just get on base and keep the ball going."
    I think this difference in awareness of team play was also the cause of the Yankees' three consecutive errors.
    This shows that a team cannot win just by using money to attract good players.

41. If Mookie doesn’t bust down the line, Cole would have gotten away with being lazy.

42. Glad I quit watching rigged pro team sports.
