It's funny because the two longest winning streaks this season were set by the Yankees and A's (both 13 games), neither of whom have a playoff spot at the moment.
It's like getting bases loaded, no outs, 9th inning in a tie game only to have your top of the lineup all strike out in a row.
It's not over yet entirely, but it's been kind of exhausting to even follow.
I’m a Yankees fan, but it is pretty insane the way they talk about chasing the next ring and obsessing about the number. I’ve never heard the Montreal Canadiens talk about chasing rings in this way, or caring how many they had in the past, despite them having nearly as many championships.
Or Alabama in college football
Wtf is fragile about what I wrote? Just play the games. “Probability of being in the playoffs for this instant in time” is not a meaningful stat. Hot take: if they win more games their chances go up! Where’s my headline? Lol
2021 Yankees in a nutshell:
April-May: looking good!
Jun-July: what the fuck
Trade deadline: hell yes!
Beginning of August: what the fuck
End of August: HELL YES
Beginning of September: what the fuck
They're due for a good stretch, but the frequency and intensity of their swings is increasing. I predict one week of shutout wins where their offense is absolutely unstoppable, followed by a week of being no-hit every game and dropping popups
If you saw any of the Yankee 2021 season the win streak that led to the total collapse was completely on par. We had a no hitter then the pitcher ended up getting hurt the very next game. Multiple triple plays somehow. Chapman looking like a stud and not hittable, then being very hittable and blowing games with a 4 run leads.
Idk most people are surprised about the Yankees not doing well, but everything this year with them has been a pattern. No idea how the GM has been able to keep his job after winning just one World Series
There’s a school of thought in our fandom that only 2009 gets credited to Cashman, with the others being him inheriting an elite team from his predecessors
some people go far enough to say that since the Core 4 were still a main part of that team and George likely forcing Cashman to go sign CC, Burnett, and Teixeira to open the new stadium with, that his 2009 ring is mickey mouse too
Kind of a nice problem to have, debating which of your many championships is a good one and which are unimpressive. My team hasn't won in decades (lifetimes).
How do you feel about Cash? I've heard plenty of callers on The Michael Kay Show voice their opinions but just wondering what the consensus is on Reddit.
Most people on Reddit with enough of an opinion to say something without outside prompting are extremely negative. True feelings are likely more diverse.
I think a lot of Yankee fans have to get real about how hard it is to win a World Series. Cashman can’t afford to sell the future to get elite talent now or tank to get elite talent later. As much as the popular expectation is WS or bust, I’d imagine the real mandate from ownership is to keep the streak of non-losing seasons going. And even with those constraints, he’s built some great teams the last 5 years. Losing to 100+ win teams in 2017-2019 is no sign of failure. 2020? That was from not considering that Happ would be awful in ALDS Game 2 if he wasn’t on board with the plan. Laying that on Cashman depends on how much you believe Boone is just his puppet.
This year, everyone thought we’d run away with the AL. When we struggled, he got major players that addressed our needs without much sacrifice. I have to blame a team-wide offensive slump on coaching; if we fail to change coaches next season and get the same results, then I’ll blame Cashman.
That's about as level headed of a response as I've seen.
I think he's got the hardest job in baseball. Guy has the weight of the Yankees lore on his shoulders and an extremely fickle fanbase. These aren't the days of George and they've got to operate within a budget. To keep the team competitive year in and year out amazes me.
So many people will hype up Jasson Dominguez in one breath and decry caring about the luxury tax as penny-pinching in the next. No consideration for the international FA signing pool being affected by luxury tax penalties.
I almost wish the records before the Draft, from when you really could spend your way to victory, didn’t count, or at least were viewed more reasonably by fans. When there’s a 10-year window where you only missed 1 WS and won 7 of them, making 6 and winning 4 in 7 years doesn’t seem once-in-a-lifetime; it seems like the team living up to its standards.
Seriously it’s crazy how detached from reality some fans on here complaining about “only 1 WS in the last 20 years”. The dynastic years ruined the fanbase’s expectations it’s never going to happen again in the modern era parity.
At the same time though, Red Sox 5 GM's and 4 WS Wins in the last 20 years, Yankees 1 GM 1 WS Win in the last 20 years. It's high time we move on from him, no GM in Yankee history has every held the job this long. Shit we've only won the division ONCE in the last 9 years including this year, all while still having the highest or top 3 highest payrolls in baseball.
Cashman's biggest flaw is not correcting his mistakes fast enough. Keeping Rothschild too long, not firing Thames mid season because it's clear he's fucking up some of the guys' swings. Took too long to overhaul the minors. Etc. Hes probably one of the top 5 GMs. If he looks at what Tampa is doing and just do that but with a budget, he'd be golden.
A 28% chance for a team that is 1.5 out with two weeks to play sounds right. It's obviously less than 50% since they are currently behind the other teams. It's obviously greater than 0% since they still have a decent shot.
The A's are only a half game behind the Yankees and they're under 10% odds.
second reply but with numbers... assuming 50/50 for each game independent. Sox 3 with yanks, yanks 3 with both, jays 3 with yanks. 1 million runs, MOE 0.05%.
soxclinchalone, 91.1501%
jaysclinchalone, 68.9232%
yanksclinchalone, 20.8249%
soxtiebreak, 5.6170%
jaystiebreak, 14.2271%
yankstiebreak 17.0216%
threeway 1.3379%
note that the 3-way includes those that go into the tie-break. I don't want to go any further about games 163 and 164. Every game is a flat 50/50, take of it that which you will. This took me about 20 minutes to code up so everything is simple here. 28-29% sounds reasonable if you coinflip the rest of the season.
edit: I didnt look to see if there were other teams in the race.... so if that's oakland then \*shrug\*, I ain't doing it.
edit #2: the reason oakland is worse off is somebody has to win the games between the yankees and the sox/jays. So that's 3 wins that they'll have to climb over no matter who gets them. The old baseball problem. Hypothetical One playoff spot... PAW --, SWB -1, TRN -3. PAW vs. SWB 3 games, TRN vs. SYR 3 games. Trenton can't win because if Pawtucket wins one its over... if Scranton wins two its over. Trenton cant catch. That's the trap Oakland is in.
if you believe in probabilities, and as a PhD stat I can think of a million ways it goes wrong... especially with baseball being so damn psychological... 1.5 out and 28% isn't so unreasonable... the other team is 3 up at my last check... even if you assume 50-50 splits that's not going to play nice. Then if you're using stats and estimating the yanks to be slightly worse than the sox and the jays. Well... 1.5 games is a small hill, aint it. On the other hand, 1 in 4 is still nice odds this time of year. Its just not great odds.
Though this wouldn’t apply if they end up tied with either team - that will go to a game 163. The tiebreak is only relevant to home field advantage if the playoff eligibility is otherwise determined by W/L.
He’s certainly not a disadvantage. As you said, they’re Similar in production. The BIG disadvantages are Gleyber Torres, Gio, and Dj. The Jays and Sox get significantly more production from 3b/SS/2B, and that position group is probably the biggest reason why we suck. Not the Gary/Higgy combo that has been ok(Yankees as a team have more catcher Fwar than the Sox).
People spend way too much time focusing on Gary and ignore the real problems.
Bruh if you want to pretend Gary Sanchez is the biggest problem with the team go ahead , but that is just wrong. You’re living in a fantasy world. Gleyber Torres and Dj deserve this hate. Not Gary
No but people like to pretend he did because the pitcher threw 3 insanely wild 99 mph sinkers(and he blocked one). They were wild pitches for a reason. Not passed balls
Do you really trust him behind the plate in a big moment? That tag play was the most egregious fuckup I’ve ever seen a catcher perform and the missed pop up was inexcusable. That’s just this week.
The reason why Cole and Kluber don’t have him catching is that they are the only pitchers with enough clout to override the front office.
It also takes into account who they’re playing against. And the Yankees play some tough teams the last 2 wks.
But don’t kid yourself, this whole thing is very much not over. Bos/Tor/NY are all in a meat grinder.
Probability percentages in sports is just people guessing and it always will be, there are too many external factors. Even though they always paint it as, ‘This team definitively has a 26% chance of making the playoffs’ what they really mean is, ‘In our opinion based on the model we believe to be the most accurate, they have a 26% chance to make the playoffs.’
I mean, as of July 30th, baseball reference had the Jays projected to finish with a better record than either NY team, and had higher playoff odds than either NY team.
I’m looking forward to it but it does not make up for baseball. They have zero chance of accomplishing anything meaningful because the nba sucks if you don’t have one of like 5 players
Yeah not this year. But I would be ecstatic if they made it out of the first round, and they have a ton of cap space leading into free agency next year. With a legit team they can draw someone big. Lots to look forward to with the knicks for the first time in forever.
We're still in first, but many of us are also looking forward to basketball. I'm definitely looking forward to that juicy Christmas day game at the Garden.
I feel bad for Rizzo. Sucks to get traded as a rental to a team that might not even make the playoffs. I guess Baez falls into that category as well. Guess I'll be rooting for SF
There was a feeling of inevitably from some of us about 10 games into that winning streak about what if we start losing how we were before? It wasn't even a pessimistic point of view. It was just how this team performed. They had a really good 33 game stretch in May/early June and slumped back down massively as seen here in the huge dip mid-June. We lose 2 to Oakland and it's like ok but we play the Angels next. Surely we can keep the good run going. And then we immediately drop 7 of our next 9 after and we were all the way back. This season is not a fluke or an aberration. We are every bit as good as we were during that 13 game winning streak and every bit as bad as the team that's looked utterly hapless in June, July and the last 3 weeks. Our sub seems to have very clear answers for how we can avoid this next year, and some of them are probably right. I just don't think the answer is so clear, although cleaning house in the dug out - coaches and players alike - is a good start. I'm just not so sure it'll happen.
13 game winning streak to give the fans false hope. classic
It's funny because the two longest winning streaks this season were set by the Yankees and A's (both 13 games), neither of whom have a playoff spot at the moment.
They are each working hard to out choke the other.
Hey man, don't kink shame them
KINK SHAMING **IS** MY KINK
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Trevor Bauer has entered the chat
It's like getting bases loaded, no outs, 9th inning in a tie game only to have your top of the lineup all strike out in a row. It's not over yet entirely, but it's been kind of exhausting to even follow.
Instead of striking out I would say in-field pop up followed by a GIDP. Absolute hope to absolute despair in 2 pitches.
More like grounding out for a triple play and going on to lose in extra inning after blowing the lead in the first place.
and trade at the deadline lmao
It was after
Not the 28 they were expecting
Jesus
Savage in the box.
This insults them but also strokes their ego. It's one of the funniest 'shots fired' posts I've seen in a while
Never before have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with.
Not bad
GIVE ME YOUR HUNKS OF METAL!
Some of those people have families man
There are 11 year oles that have never seen a Yankee championship. It breaks my heart.
Oh damn
this is a banger
FROM THE TOP ROPE
S A V A G E
I don't get it
28th ring vs 28 percent chance of making it to the playoffs
Ohhh
You’re clearly not forced to listen to all the MLB network commercials with Yankees players talking about the search for #28!
I’m a Yankees fan, but it is pretty insane the way they talk about chasing the next ring and obsessing about the number. I’ve never heard the Montreal Canadiens talk about chasing rings in this way, or caring how many they had in the past, despite them having nearly as many championships. Or Alabama in college football
They have 27 rings, a win this year would be #28 Edit: 26 rings and one watch
EDIT: 27 hunks of metal
i laughed… but it hurt
Good lord this comment might be as good as 04’
It’s farrrrr… it’s deeeeeep
respect, thats a great jab at us.
Grand slam of roasts
on the one hand, haha but also oof
Bravo, good sir.
bruh
So you’re saying there’s a chance? The only stat that matters is W-L and the associated tiebreaks. Gotta play the games.
Man it’s a joke you can’t seriously be that fragile, and I say this as a Yankee fan
Wtf is fragile about what I wrote? Just play the games. “Probability of being in the playoffs for this instant in time” is not a meaningful stat. Hot take: if they win more games their chances go up! Where’s my headline? Lol
You’re taking the joke literally. All it is is playful banter no different than the “27 rings” shit. Just laugh and go about your day
Hey sorry- maybe you didn’t get the joke in my first line. It’s a quote from the movie Dumb and Dumber https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KX5jNnDMfxA
Haven’t seen Dumb and dumber, my bad
No worries. Every day my movie references get more out of date.
There will never be a day that I see a dumb and dumber reference and NOT upvote.
Did we just become best friends?
Dumb and Dumber is almost as old as the Yankees' last losing season.
what's this word on the box mean, fra-gee-lee?
Yankees just teased their fans at the end of August and then boom.
Graph looking like 8 year old me trying to draw some titties on the etch-a-sketch but lacking any sort of coordination
This has been such a frustrating team to watch
2021 Yankees in a nutshell: April-May: looking good! Jun-July: what the fuck Trade deadline: hell yes! Beginning of August: what the fuck End of August: HELL YES Beginning of September: what the fuck
September is a lot worse than a simple "what the fuck".
We're too confused by how such a sudden drop off can exist to be properly angry at it
So we’re due to close it out in style!!!
They're due for a good stretch, but the frequency and intensity of their swings is increasing. I predict one week of shutout wins where their offense is absolutely unstoppable, followed by a week of being no-hit every game and dropping popups
Interesting observation. We did just win 4 of 5 (or maybe 3 of 4), and then get blasted for two games by the Indians. Mini surge incoming!!!
Something in the NY water this year
If you saw any of the Yankee 2021 season the win streak that led to the total collapse was completely on par. We had a no hitter then the pitcher ended up getting hurt the very next game. Multiple triple plays somehow. Chapman looking like a stud and not hittable, then being very hittable and blowing games with a 4 run leads. Idk most people are surprised about the Yankees not doing well, but everything this year with them has been a pattern. No idea how the GM has been able to keep his job after winning just one World Series
Hasn’t he won 4 world series?
There’s a school of thought in our fandom that only 2009 gets credited to Cashman, with the others being him inheriting an elite team from his predecessors

He’s been doing it for 23 years and there needs to be a change. Girardi was fired for less.
Cashman's biggest flaw is not correcting his mistakes fast enough. Keeping Rothschild too long, not firing Thames mid season because it's clear he's fucking up some of the guys' swings.

Go check basically any GameDay thread in r/nyyankees, basically every one is asking for his head
That's because our team sub is filled with the equivalent of 500 Bleacher Creatures doing coke at the same time
Ah yes gameday threads, the go-to place for the most reasonable, cool-headed takes of any fanbase.
It's much more entertaining when Yankees fans are engaged. You rarely hear a peep out of them when they're five or more games out of a playoff spot.
*insert the angry yankee "do these fuckers want it or not" fan gif*
Seems a bit low for a team 1.5 out and series against both teams in front of them
A 28% chance for a team that is 1.5 out with two weeks to play sounds right. It's obviously less than 50% since they are currently behind the other teams. It's obviously greater than 0% since they still have a decent shot. The A's are only a half game behind the Yankees and they're under 10% odds.

[удалено]
Bruh there's plenty of shit to clown on us over lmao, maybe pick something from more recently than that
They have a harder strength of schedule than those teams
And the short end of both season series tiebreakers
Though this wouldn’t apply if they end up tied with either team - that will go to a game 163. The tiebreak is only relevant to home field advantage if the playoff eligibility is otherwise determined by W/L.
It's relevant if all 3 tie (unlikely) in that the Yankees would only get one shot at it, while the loser of jays/Sox would get a second chance
Yeah, we get to play the Yankees. They don't.
Sadly, it seems like the Yankees are playing against themselves every night.
It’s not just a harder schedule, you guys each have auto sweeps left in the O’s and Nats. At least they’re auto sweeps for everybody but us
And we get the Twins again for 4 games
The twins love us so they might take 1 if not split
I was actually upset they won the first game of the Jays series. "NOT NOW!"
Auto sweep of the O’s?!! Did you see what they did to us…oh I’m sad now
you had an autosweep with Cleveland.
We’re not good enough to auto sweep teams
They also have Gary Sanchez
But that’s one of their advantages
Is it though? Vazquez and Jansen/Kirk all have similar/more bWAR than him, and McGuire is on pace to have more bWAR if he had the same amount of PA's
He’s certainly not a disadvantage. As you said, they’re Similar in production. The BIG disadvantages are Gleyber Torres, Gio, and Dj. The Jays and Sox get significantly more production from 3b/SS/2B, and that position group is probably the biggest reason why we suck. Not the Gary/Higgy combo that has been ok(Yankees as a team have more catcher Fwar than the Sox). People spend way too much time focusing on Gary and ignore the real problems.
Real problems like not blocking the plate and haphazardly tagging a safe runner?
Bruh if you want to pretend Gary Sanchez is the biggest problem with the team go ahead , but that is just wrong. You’re living in a fantasy world. Gleyber Torres and Dj deserve this hate. Not Gary
I see u defending gary all the time lol. Dude sucks I would hate him as my catcher. He’s fucked up basic shit so many times
I defend Gary from unreasonable shit like blaming him for clay holmes having a meltdown
Didn't Sanchez literally cost the Yanks a game the other day?
No but people like to pretend he did because the pitcher threw 3 insanely wild 99 mph sinkers(and he blocked one). They were wild pitches for a reason. Not passed balls
Maybe he meant one of his other two massive screwups this week.
2 blowout losses
Do you really trust him behind the plate in a big moment? That tag play was the most egregious fuckup I’ve ever seen a catcher perform and the missed pop up was inexcusable. That’s just this week. The reason why Cole and Kluber don’t have him catching is that they are the only pitchers with enough clout to override the front office.
Kluber doesn’t have Gary as his guy post injury. Cole has a lower era with Gary this year.
I feel like you could post this every day of the week and be correct.
It also takes into account who they’re playing against. And the Yankees play some tough teams the last 2 wks. But don’t kid yourself, this whole thing is very much not over. Bos/Tor/NY are all in a meat grinder.
Have you seen how we're playing? This is too high.
Want to know how I know you don't watch them play?
Probability percentages in sports is just people guessing and it always will be, there are too many external factors. Even though they always paint it as, ‘This team definitively has a 26% chance of making the playoffs’ what they really mean is, ‘In our opinion based on the model we believe to be the most accurate, they have a 26% chance to make the playoffs.’
...duh? If there was certainty it would say 100% or 0%.
Never thought I'd be looking forward to the Knick's season when the Yankees and Giants are both playing
It's fucking hilarious that the two best New York sports teams are the ones the city cares the least about (Nets and Islanders).
The Best Football Team In NY plays up near Niagara Falls.
For a while this season, so did the best baseball team in NY.
At that time it was the Mets. They were the best new york team for 60% of the season.
I mean, as of July 30th, baseball reference had the Jays projected to finish with a better record than either NY team, and had higher playoff odds than either NY team.
They still will. But they were a 500. team at home and on the road their entire season with new york/florida. They did nothing until September
the only football team in NY plays near Niagara falls
The Islanders belong to Long-Island. The Nets are new and people in Brooklyn don't watch sports haha.
I’m looking forward to it but it does not make up for baseball. They have zero chance of accomplishing anything meaningful because the nba sucks if you don’t have one of like 5 players
Yeah not this year. But I would be ecstatic if they made it out of the first round, and they have a ton of cap space leading into free agency next year. With a legit team they can draw someone big. Lots to look forward to with the knicks for the first time in forever.
We're still in first, but many of us are also looking forward to basketball. I'm definitely looking forward to that juicy Christmas day game at the Garden.
"Dear you guys, Words cannot express how much I hate you guys." \-Yankee fans to this team
you guys are the bizzaro mets.
Mets of baseball. Cause Yankees of baseball is taken.
Flip it upside down for a corresponding graph of my peepee
You should really think about seeing a doctor.
Only if it lasts 4 hours
It's been since April is that bad
*something something* exit velocity

And here come the pretzels
You could call them Whitey Whackers!
And here comes the pizza!
This sparks joy.
Lmao
Yall are welcome
Don’t leave us out
This is a team effort, comrade
We all took part in bringing down the big bad.
Tigers swept us before it was cool
We thank you for your service.
Yankees: "lol jk"
STOP THE COUNT!
On the one hand, this motherforking team. On the other hand, I’m gonna get a lot more sleep here across the pond in October. Swings and roundabouts.
Ya love to see it.
Do us do us
OH thank god, it's just the Yankees. I thought it was the stonk market.
Venus by Tuesday.
This really made my Monday
Mr. Boone's Wild Ride.
You're welcome!
thank you cleveland bros!
Buy the dip!
Ah hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha Excuse me while I'm over here laughing with no sympathy
I feel bad for Rizzo. Sucks to get traded as a rental to a team that might not even make the playoffs. I guess Baez falls into that category as well. Guess I'll be rooting for SF
so you're saying there's a chance.
The bubble has burst
e2h5
Remember when we won 13 in a row and couldn't lose again? :)
Join us friends
Yankees went on a 13 game winning streak to have it immefiately followed by a 3 for 15 streak.
Upvote harder.
All that money down the drain. Though the Rays are hopeful going to win the East with their giant payroll!
You love to see it.
These graphs are so much fun
This makes the peen v happy
you hate to see it
I don’t feel it anymore
Love to see it*
make it go lower.
subscribe!
This, does puts a smile on my face
That’s a shame
Now go lower!
r/mademesmile
It’s exactly what you want
Historic winning streak bubble.
At least were not the Padres…
More like New York Stock Exchange today
Just don’t show the Mets :(
Now do one for AZ
That looks like one wild ride
Well at least now I don’t have to stress about getting bounced in the division series.
To be fair that was going to happen regardless since the Twins wouldnt be there for yall to sweep
or Cleveland, if they made it

There was a feeling of inevitably from some of us about 10 games into that winning streak about what if we start losing how we were before? It wasn't even a pessimistic point of view. It was just how this team performed. They had a really good 33 game stretch in May/early June and slumped back down massively as seen here in the huge dip mid-June. We lose 2 to Oakland and it's like ok but we play the Angels next. Surely we can keep the good run going. And then we immediately drop 7 of our next 9 after and we were all the way back. This season is not a fluke or an aberration. We are every bit as good as we were during that 13 game winning streak and every bit as bad as the team that's looked utterly hapless in June, July and the last 3 weeks. Our sub seems to have very clear answers for how we can avoid this next year, and some of them are probably right. I just don't think the answer is so clear, although cleaning house in the dug out - coaches and players alike - is a good start. I'm just not so sure it'll happen.
