OT- Just a Disgrace!

[SHU_Pirate1]

Okay, OT but a big enough story to post and I'm sure I'm not the only Yankees fan here who's disgusted and needed to vent. The expectations were huge going into this series and it's been such a terrible let down that I actually resorted to turning the Giants on Monday Night Football.

Some random thoughts that came up trough the headaches and nausea of the last few days:

-Fat Joe?!?!?! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...over! Could we look any weaker or small time after LA breaks out Ice Cube? Joke 🫣

-The one chance to make last night's yawner of a game interesting was killed by the ineptitude of terrible umpiresMark Carlson ringing up Gleyber on one of the worst calls you'll see in post season history. So instead of potentially seeing Soto up with the bases loaded you may have just as well turned of the tv. Besides Yankees fans or even neutral baseball fans you gotta think the network was pissed at that call.

-Aaron Boone. Not one of the many Boone haters out there but what was his reaction after that abomination of a call? Sat there with a numb/depressed look on his face. This is the guy who's been know to ride umps and has gotten thrown out of more games than any 3 managers combined the last few years protecting his guys' at the plate. He just sat there...he was checked out and gave up. Terrible. Not as terrible as pulling Cole the other night, then doubling down on dumb and putting Nestor who hasn't pitched in a month when he had a guy in Hill who's been lights out of late.

Our Ace Cole- Coming to realize this guy is soft. Gives the ball to Boonie after 88 pitches. It's the freaking World Series! What do you think Bob Gibson would do if the manager came to take the ball after 88 pitches?

Not a disgrace to lose to the Dodgers at all. They are simply just a better organization right now. They spend more, they sign free agents that work out, they develop young talent better, their lineup is much deeper and they pitch better. Not a disgrace to finish second to LA

Lots to dislike about how they’ve played. That’s what makes it a disgrace.

Yankees bullpen has been excellent throughout the post season but their hitting with runners in scoring position seems to be a systemic problem. Been this way dating back to the 2017 post season.

I'm a little surprised the Yankees haven't been able to get more going offensively against the Dodgers but on the other hand it's really all about Judge. It's surprising (and mostly because of Stanton) that they were able to make it this far without him doing much of anything. The AL in general, or at least at the top, felt a lot weaker than the NL this year too.

Seems like everything is going the Dodgers way, but Dodgers are a very complete team. The Yankees have 27 world championships, can they win 4 straight, if you are a real fan you believe they can. I’m hoping they break out tonight, if not the better team won.

Series hasn’t gone well. But as a Yankee fan, it’s kind of hard to complain about anything when I consider the other teams I root for.
