The Official 2025 New York Yankees Thread

Also nice to see Volpe playing Gold Glove-level SS. I am still waiting for Regular Season Judge to make an appearance, but so happy to see Boston in the rear view mirror.

My guess would be Andy Pettite game five, 1996 world series.

Cam was great. He's going to be a stud in our rotation for a number of years.

Had no problem with Boone taking out Fried last night but you're blaming Judge for having thrower's elbow and that's silly.

There were multiple factors at play where a routine basehit becomes a double besides Judge lollipopping the ball into the infield. He appeared to slow up as he approached the ball and Sogard was probably burning around 1st. Duran does it all the time.

C'est la vie. The 'Sox lost and are going home. All things considered, it was a successful season. Hopefully they can keep Bregman and run it back with the kids having more experience and better injury luck.

His ascension has been incredible.

Entering the 2024 season, he wasn't even listed on MLB.com's Top 30 Yankees Prospects list.

Hindsight is 20-20, but Game 1 was always the one game I was worried about. Crochet is amazing, but the Sox rotation is trash under him. I was sweating after Game 1, but entering the Toronto series feeling very good.
 
Interesting that the Yankees are going with Luis Gil as their Game 1 starter. I'm assuming this would allow the rest of the rotation to go on normal rest, which I think is smart. Gil hasn't been sharp since coming back from the IL, but he's got the stuff to compete.
 
GAME 1 - L Gil
GAME 2 - M Fried
GAME 3 - C Rodon
GAME 4 - C Schlittler

Nothing gets in the way of Saturday night dinners out. 25 years together, it's a ritual of love.

So, the bar TV was visible from the table. And there, down 2-1, bases loaded with Aaron Judge up...
 
I don't watch as much as I used to but I've gotta say this wild card format is bizarre. 2 of the best teams in baseball finish tied in the AL East standings with the blue jays winning the head-to-head matchup. So the Yankees as the wild card team will play 4 games in 5 days, 5 games in 6 days, to the blue jays 1 and 2. I'm sure no setup will be perfect but this seems extremely lopsided. The Jays may be the better team in the end but they don't need this much of an advantage.
 
Yanks are toast, have had a fake offense all year don’t let the hrs fool ya. Cannot hit or even get productive outs with RISP all year and it gets magnified in the playoffs and Fried sucks today too.
 
It's not over yet. We've still got Rodon & Schlitter going at home and then a fully rested, out for redemption, Fried going in Game 5. Plus, we beat the Red Sox.

That’s assuming we can score runs and hit with RISP which has been an issue all year.

Sure it’s possible but with Boone I’m not seeing it well let’s see if Yanks can win game 3 first.
 
My one saving grace at this point is at least I don’t have to listen to Philly Phans gloating. Hoping we turn it around at home and make it a series because so far, it’s been rough.
 
Not confident about the series, but I feel like the Yankees will put in a good fight today and Rodon outpitches Bieber, who was less effective in September (4.00 ERA) than August (2.50 ERA).

Either way, I'll be at the David Byrne show tonight, so I'll be following the game on the radio on the drive home.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you've missed UConn games for raking leaves and bird watching before. Are those rituals of love too?
 
What will the Yankees do? Run it back for next season.

This is an organization who stopped caring once George Steinbrenner passed away.

I love leaves.

I love birds.

I remember getting so engrossed in leaf raking that maybe it was a 1st half I missed. My birding excursions are always early AM. Always home by 11am.

They're on a road to nowhere.
