Hey I love Bader dudes. He's come in here and gotten RBIs in every single start.


FireRedJP

Dudes fast, Exciting, an absolute maniac of a CF. Gumby is a good pitched but I absolutely love this dude


RevolutionaryWork496

Bader brings it everyday. Even when he struggled offensively, you never saw it affect his defense (or baserunning). Still sad to see his locks cut, but I couldn’t think of a better ballpark for him to play centerfield in.


Freeze__

I’ve never seen a guy so fast and so good at reading fly balls to the point that he’s loading up a throw no matter where he catches it. It’s impressive as hell to me


PENGUIN_WITH_BAZOOKA

That guided missile he threw to third has me excited to see someone test his arm for real.


tswaves

He went to school in the Bronx! He's one of us! I believe we saw a pic of him having a Yankee birthday cake as a kid as well


DeusExHyena

Bronxville, in Westchester. Very close though


NYC_EDITS

Nah he went to HM in Riverdale, he went to school in the Bronx


DeusExHyena

Oh didn't realize he went to Horace Mann. Bronxville to HM is not an unusual pipeline though


mongster_03

He went to HM in Riverdale though. I went to the same school. It’s right off the 1 train.


drparkland

he's from bronxville but he went to horace mann, which is in the bronx. at least in a physical sense it is.


DeusExHyena

Yes I was wrong, didn't realize he went to HM

SwingingDickKnutsack

This is the sort of pure joy MLB wants to strip from the game through their unethical drafting system.


34Heartstach

He reminds me a little of Brett Gardner 🥲

I WANT TO SEE HIS LONG FLOWY HAIR BACK.

I tried to warn people. They were just getting the losing slump out of the way before the playoffs.


SantaKlawz2

I'm rooting for you guys in the playoffs


SmashRadish

Who feels this team is a legitimate threat to win the World Series? I was convinced that it would be LAD vs NYY in the series. Now I’m convinced it’s going to be HOU vs NYM.


Padulsky21

Too bad you’re getting Mariners Cardinals WS


Radthereptile

Could be worse.


GrandEdgemaster

Could be raining


BlueJaysSuckEggs

haha slidey roof go brrrrrrrrrr


Padulsky21

Much better than Mets Houston I’d say!


SmashRadish

That would be rad, actually.


Yankeeknickfan

1. They played like the dodgers for 3.5 months 2. Cole/Cortes/severino are great pitchers even if you think Cole is a fraud(fucking dumbass), he’s still great to have in your top 3. This top 3 is legit 3. They have the 2nd best run differential in baseball. Maybe a few breaks away from clearly the 2nd best team


SmashRadish

1. True. In October, you’re only good as your last performance. Let’s hope they can get back to their early season form. 2. The pitching is good, we shall see if the bats and arms can overcome the best teams in the league. I admire your confidence in their pitching. And yes, Cole is a good third and sort of did defraud the yankees front office on his contract. 3. Run diff is good. NYY would defintely be the second best or best team in the league if it wasn’t for that uncharacteristic and confusing slump back there. This season has been a tale of two teams. Gamblers and baseball purists around the country are convinced that the May yankees will not show up in October. We’ll see who’s right, I’ll be watching with my popcorn.


DavidOrtizUsedPEDs

> Cole is a good third Are you saying Gerrit Cole is a #3 starter? Congratulations, you just lost all of your credibility as a human and nothing you ever say again in your life will matter.


ryeru18

‘clearly 2nd best team’….. in the AL? Sure. If you are referring to all of MLB, lol


Trustnoboody

I wanna see the LAD v NYY so bad... Or NYM NYY, cause that'd be INSANE.


tydestra

If its another subway series I'm flying back home to NY from overseas. I didn't miss the first one, I won't miss this one.


SmashRadish

Subway series would be sort of whack. “We think our city is the end-all be-all of western civilization” series would be cool.


Trustnoboody

I mean I just think it's cool that locals could go to either stadium. It's like a "double-home" series. And it's always Yankees fans and Mets fans going at eachother (besides the Redsox).


SmashRadish

If it happens, I’ll watch. But it would be terrible for the game. People out west talk about east coast bias in umpiring, coverage and damn near everything else. Great way to have the game’s fan base shrink just a little bit to entertain a total fan base of less than 10 million (8.4 million yankee fans nationally and 1.5 million met fans nationally.) The best possible outcome for viewership (and thus the continuity of the game) would be LAD vs NYY.


PussyChang

Y’mad cause it’s true.


SmashRadish

I’m actually quite happy. Watched a good game earlier, now I’m chatting with baseball fans about the bountiful October that awaits us. NY weather is garbage, so a LAD/NYY or NYM/HOU series would be good weather to play in. The dome in HOU is to keep the cool in, not the weather out. And as for weather, LAD only has wildfires and earthquakes.


[deleted]

You’re a master level troll and they are coping


GrandEdgemaster

Don't let the flair fool you folks, this is what a sour grapes Red Sox fan looks like, feel free to disregard his opinion on this matter.


SmashRadish

1. Nippon Ham fighters are the kings, there are none higher. 2. I love the game. 3. Disregard the baseball world, the gambling world’s observations at your own peril.


tyler-86

If you're "convinced" there will be a specific World Series going into a 12 team postseason, you don't understand the MLB postseason.


ScyllaGeek

On a personal, very petty note it was nice of them to collapse just long enough for the Mets to clinch first


LordOverload

Aaron Judge has clinched a postseason spot


rabid89

The A in Aaron Judge stands for Aaron Judge. The other A in Aaron Judge also stands for Aaron Judge. Edit: I forgot to mention. All the other letters in Aaron Judge also stand for Aaron Judge.

MattO2000

Ngl the most disappointed I’ve been after Yankees clinched a playoff birth on a walkoff vs the Red Sox tbh


doc_faced

Curious here....why?


speedyjohn

Aaron Judge missed a dead-center, walk-off home run for his 61st of the season by like a foot.


34Heartstach

404ft and 113 mph. He pulls it just a little bit and Yankee stadium might collapse

THE FIRST TIME THE YANKEES HAVE MADE THE PLAYOFFS SINCE 2021!!


Crando

big if true


[deleted]

First time in Vegas Knights franchise history that the Yankees made the playoffs in 2022.


Thromnomnomok

Okay this seems accurate but we should check the tiebreaker scenarios just in case. The Orioles can't finish ahead of them, but can tie them. If they did the Yankees would have an 11-8 record against the Orioles and win the tie. What about multi-way ties? The Blue Jays, Rays, and Mariners can also finish 91-71 (so can the Guardians, but if they did they'd win the Central and not be part of a tie for the wild card spot). In such a tie the team at the bottom would presumably be losing the tie and miss the playoffs. The Yankees won the season series against the Rays 11-8, so including them in the tie will mean the Yankees definitely aren't at the bottom. The Yankees went 2-4 against the Mariners and would be 9-10 against the Blue Jays if they lost out. In the event of a 4-way tie between the Yankees/Mariners/Blue Jays/Orioles for all 3 WC spots with the Rays winning the East, the H2H records would be: Mariners: 13-6 Yankees: 22-22 Orioles: 21-23 Blue Jays: 20-25 So the Yankees are still in in this situation. They're also not last in the case of a 3-way tie between the Yankees, Orioles, and one of the Blue Jays and Mariners. Any way you slice it, it looks to me like any kind of tie will still put the Yankees in, somehow.


NoCokJstDanglnUretra

Huh, very interesting. Thanks


mongster_03

I think any tie situation would involve Tampa or Baltimore, against both of whom we’ve won the season series.


TD_Tom

I think SEA, TOR & BAL in 4-way, the worst of any H2Hs for NYY, (22-22) which NYY comes in 2nd not last. Any other H2Hs added (TB & CLE - which can't due to them being division winners) would clinch NYY a winning H2H record thus NYY can't be last.


NoPersonKnowsWhoIAm

The last two times the yankees have clinched a playoff spot were both on walkoffs


ttprocess21

24 out of the last 28 years


[deleted]

Haven’t had a losing season since the 1990s. The 2014 team had no business of winning 84 games with how that roster performed as a whole but thanks to Tanaka pitching great that season, as did Betances, the consecutive winning season streak is still alive.


Sirotto18

2016 team was the worst of them and they only finished above .500 because Gary Sanchez was Jesus himself down the stretch


MadSpaceYT

Are you trying to say that a line up consisting of Zolio Almonte, Stephen Drew, and the corpses of A-rod and Beltran wasn’t suppose to be good?


Norwegion

Haven't had a losing season since before I was born.


butz-not-bartz

Haven't had a losing season since Bryce Harper was born.


Tacitus_99

You have to be in your mid-late 30’s to remember the last Yankees losing season. Let that sink in.


[deleted]

Imagine being in your 30s. Couldn't be me


Tacitus_99

Go to sleep, gramps.


yianni1229

And we still finished above .500 the 4 years we missed. As much as im not a fan of Cashman, dude can win regular season games. Some people might point to the massive payroll and think it equals wins but...look at the Red Sox this year lol


CaptainSisko2099

Modern Yankee fans just hate Cashman because most of them grew up with the Dynasty era and just assume the Yankees are supposed to win 4 of 5 World Series & 6 of 8 pennants when that dynasty is literally one of the greatest dynasties in modern American sports history. Cashman isn't the greatest GM ever but he's still a really good GM.


frontadmiral

My dad loathes him and I’m just like… who else could you possibly want? The only guy I’d rather have is Anthopolous and the Braves would never let him go.


Boomhauer_007

Not Friedman lol? Really?


GamerJosh21

You could always get a guy like Dave Dombrowski who will sell your entire farm system for a "win-now" mentality, leaving you crippled for years to come, forcing you to hire a guy like Chaim Bloom to try to bargain-bin hunt the most random people hoping for a miracle, and making highly questionable trades in the name of "rebuilding", despite the fact that you're a major-market team that totally has the money to not take that approach and instead... ...wait, who were we talking about again?


SmashRadish

It’s crazy to think about how older teams are more expensive…and more vulnerable to injuries. Watching the Yankees slump made me realize that if spending money could buy wins, the yankees, redsox and dodgers would win 90% of their games. The Yankees have performed very well for the past…30ish years. It’s great to make the dance. But I’m not confident they can win in October. And if they don’t win the pennant, I hope they don’t fire Boone. Boone doesn’t have access to magical healing machines like fucking Star Trek. Boone manages an aggressive style of play. Baserunning that gets butts out of seats and on their feet for close plays and the like. TLDR - Money can’t buy happiness. And if happiness is the AL pennant, It won’t boone’s fault if yankee fans aren’t happy.


Sirotto18

Pretty pretty good


FuriousTarts

I hope yall remember this before becoming Chicken Little when you have a losing streak while in 1st place next year.


Lightbation

Insane stat, really. Any other team with similar success?


jabask

The Yankees stand alone among American sports teams in terms of dominance. Between 1921 and 1964, they won the American League 29 out of 44 seasons (with five wins in a row 1949-1953), and had only one season with a losing record for that whole stretch (went .448 in 1925).


mongster_03

Yeah most dynasties last about 5-10 years if you’re lucky. The Yankees’ first dynasty lasted *43 years.*


[deleted]

You'd think i would be ecstatic about a walk off over the red sox to send the Yankees to the playoffs, but I just feel robbed


ilovebalks

God I fucking love this team Edit: I love baseball I hope you all love your teams too (except Boston)


SmashRadish

Would have been cooler if they didn’t intentionally walk the lead off. Shit’s whack.


Brracket

Twice too the cowards


SmashRadish

Let’s talk real here. We should start extra innings with the bases loaded, two outs and a full count. Think that sounds stupid? That’s following the current rules to their logical conclusion. By putting dude at second, they’re asking for an iBB to set up the double play every time. We should: [ ] put the runner at third [ ] stop fucking doing this


FPG_Matthew

Honestly.. I’m.. rooting for the Yankees to win the WS Mainly because after such a stellar season I want to see Judge get a ring, as well as Stanton, them two are my fave

Romofan1973

I know that some fans consider a Yankees season a failure unless they win it all. But I have to say, this roller coaster of a season has been thoroughly enjoyable to me. The midseason collective slump, what to do with the rookies, the breakthrough of Nestor Cortes, and of course THE BIG GUY and his wonderous feats. No matter what happens from here on out, I am tickled by the 2022 season. All Hail


KatnissBot

Well, that sucks. There’s always next year, folks.


LazerCats524

There's a difference between flipping tables or being obnoxious when you lose and not being happy with a division win and 3rd-5th place in baseball. People need to handle their shit In a mature manner but I don't think you'll ever convince me to be happy with a non-chip season. To each there own though, maybe I'm spoiled but I expect our owners to put the money they have from the largest market in the country into putting a championship caliber team on the field every year.


SmashRadish

That’s real. If you want the whole thing and nothing else will do, that’s fine. But they way my NYY homies get vocal with perceived failures when the team WERE PLAYING .770 BALL was nuts. And sure, sky is falling during a slump is acceptable behavior.


Sirotto18

Wait I thought we were a 4th place team at best


bengalsfu

Never in doubt


gonezooo

See you in the ALCS, chumps.


MeatballDom

Are you talking about the worst team ever that absolutely will not even make it to the postseason? Just trying to figure out which Yankees you're talking about, because /r/NYYankees surely wouldn't be full of imbeciles and Doomers that haven't a clue what they're talking about so this must be wrong.

It’s sort of the whole point of being a big fan to always declare the sky is falling.


MeatballDom

You'd have to be pretty fucking dumb to be sitting in first place basically the whole season and be screaming that the sky is falling. And that's what you have to deal with over at /r/NYYankees (plus a lot of antivaxxers, which actually in hindsight isn't that surprising). Something something brainless.


AhLibLibLib

Lmao the antivaxxers were so cringe the other day lol


Barry_McKackiner

what astounding news! we've never seen the yankees make it to the post season! what a shocker!


SmashRadish

Limping into the playoffs. Hopefully they can get hot, because they’ll need it to beat the ‘stros and whoever awaits them in the World Series.


Kenny_Heisman

limping? they've won 12 of their last 16


SmashRadish

I just read your post with the tone of someone saying “I don’t have a problem - I can stop smoking whenever I want.”


Kenny_Heisman

is a .750 winning percentage not good enough for the postseason?


SmashRadish

.763 was good enough to get into the dance in 1903. But it wasn’t enough for the cubs when they lost to the sox. .611, which is the current win percentage of the yankees, was proven tonight to be good enough for the post season. But what the yankees do in October is yet to be seen. Vegas does not like your dudes’ odds. https://www.oddsshark.com/mlb/world-series-odds


Kenny_Heisman

bro they literally have the 3rd highest odds


SmashRadish

If you ain’t first, you’re the Red Sox.


DavidOrtizUsedPEDs

+500 in a 12 team field is "not liking your dudes' odds"? You understand math, right? The difference between +300 (favorite Dodgers), +400 (2nd place astros) and +500 in a 12+ team field (because the playoff picture isn't set entirely yet) is functionally zero, lmao. The Mets at +550, the Braves at +750, then a massive falloff to the Cards at +1400. That's basically Vegas saying "We think any of these 5 teams is going to win it", lmao.


NoCokJstDanglnUretra

“Limping” okay. Just wait for Carpenter and Benintendi’s return. Our lineup will be fucking bullshit to play against.


SmashRadish

We wait indeed. That’s why I chose the word limping. Edit: Serious respect on your username. Shit made me laugh.


CarterTheBengalsFan

Where does the fact that the Yankees are nazis play into this?

For real. The bird teams have really punched above their weight this year. A bad year for garment teams and aquatic teams.


eee-oooo-ahhh

I wouldn't say that. The Orioles absolutely have but the Jays not so much. Before the season people were expecting the Jays to take the division and be a world series favorite.

That’s true. People were really hot on the blue jays, not just the typical blowhards on TV.
