“A Collective Letdown” - Yankees Fan Rich Eisen Laments Pinstripes’ World Series Shortcomings

He has never acted like a primadonna, and the entire Dodger team is just a scrappier team. They believe in their talents, but they believe in their effort even more.

That was Judge's first error all year in over 160 games. All it proves is that he is human and can make physical error. The inning before he makes great catch and crashes into the LF fence robbing Freeman of extra base hit. Volpe makes the right play throwing to 3rd since his momentum was heading towards 3rd base, just made a bad throw.

[@robertdiepold2242]

[@logicalblackman8228]

I gotta push back on the heat for Rizzo, not charging the ball. As a first baseman, his first priority is to secure the ball. When it is put to play, it looks like it’s heading straight for first base and so Rizzo is charging it. Then, due to the spin, it skips toward the outfield. As such, Rizzo winds up over running the ball, has to change direction and field it to his right. If Cole takes a better angle and runs full speed, he has a much better chance of getting to the bag and covering it in time to get The out. As another commentary pointed out, he seems to have a bad habit of not running these plays out and letting the first baseman do the work. My only criticism of Rizzo, is that he did not fully sprint to the bag, after getting the ball. maybe he makes the play and maybe he doesn’t. But he needs to go full speed, regardless.

[@raven-19x]

That 5th inning broke me as a Yankee fan. I never seen so many little league mistakes in a single inning and yet it emphasizes how poorly this team treats fundamental baseball things like basic fielding and base running.

[@robertdiepold2242]

Judge dropping fly ball was not fundamental mistake. He just dropped the ball for his first error of the entire year, bad timing. Volpe makes the correct decision to try and get the runner at third, makes bad throw. Once again, not a fundamental error. The only fundamental error was Cole not running to cover the bag and making attempt to beat Betts to 1rst base.

[@jamesmichael5475]

The reality being that good pitching, good defense, timely situational hitting, good base running, mixed in with occasional power win in the post-season. That has been the story since the inception of the game and it will not change. They Yankee organization appears to disregard the importance of defense and sound fundamental baseball, advancing runners, driving in runners from scoring position with singles, doubles, putting bat on ball and the ball in play, bunting, while prioritizing walks over base hits, and home runs over all else, the swing for the fences in every at bat, striking out 26% - 40% of your at bats is acceptable, even if you are a singles hitter. The unfortunate consequence of that approach being many loses in close games, because you can not string base-hits together to sustain a rally, can rarely score if someone does not hit a home-run, you give good hitting teams extra at bats and opportunities to score when you fail to make plays in the field, run yourself out of scoring opportunities and kill rallies. The World Series showed you everything that was wrong with the NY Yankees and their roster. Cashman constructed a roster without a single productive bat on the bench, no one who could be used and counted on to pinch hit, no bonafide closer, no center-fielder, no 3rd baseman. All of the starting pitchers are prone to surrender home-runs, often in bunches and they often struggle when facing the better hitting teams. Stanton is guaranteed to miss at least 6-8 weeks every season with injury, that is a given, yet Cashman had no contingency plan in place for when Stanton went down, no one on the roster who could step in and prevent the wheels from falling off. Dominguez was recovering from UCL repair surgery and should never have been the fall-back guy. He is unproven at the major league level, his defense is suspect, and guys recovering from surgery often suffer setbacks. Any and everyone but Cashman, knew that Holmes was not a closer. The guy does not have a strike-out pitch, pitches to contact, and leaves too many sinkers up in the strike-zone to be hit and often crushed. Balls put in play have a way of beating you, and Holmes proved that blown save after blown save. Weaver did eventually perform decent as a closer, but I am not convinced he is the answer. The MO of the Yankee offense when facing decent pitching the entire season was get shut-down for 7-8 innings, having perhaps 1-2 hits over that span, and hope to score against a closer. They have a roster that feast on mediocre and worse pitching and who are routinely over-matched and dominated by top their pitchers.

Rich, I don't need 14 minutes to tell you this, THE BETTER TEAM WON !!!!

[@jsmcguireIII]

I don't care what team it is, you just can't reward sloppy and lazy play.

[@bmw128racer]

LOL, I just heard this: They invited Aaron Judge to Times Square on New Year's Eve... To drop the ball. 🤭

[@dampfanator]

To be fair. The Rams haven't always had it this good

[@jdoc1357b9g]

Dodgers were just more fundamentally sound and had more hustle. They never took anything for granted and hustled even if it looked like a sure out. They never assumed anything and made sure to do all the little things right. The yankees are talented but unfocused and undisciplined. They take too much for granted, look past some of the little things, and the Dodgers made them pay for it every time.

[@PurdyGood]

The sorrowful vibe of Rich’s monologue and then the sudden cuts to TJ and Brockman in costume 🤣💀

[@thegamingkitchen8429]

Love it.

[@CerroZimm]

We still remember your accusations for Ohtani. Waiting to talk to you at the parking lot.

[@WeeWeeIII]

I'm with you Rich @ Jets statement (you made here) ...

[@jamar489]

A collective team subluxation. There are shoulder separations, like the one Shohei Otani suffered in game two, and then there are team dislocations that have significant effects like the one that the New York Yankees suffered in this World Series at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

[@GeekGinger]

Yes, it must be very, very hard being a NY Yankees fan. Gag.

[@edwardshaw1743]

Brockman has that hat from the Tim Robinson skit

[@BostonBori92]

Rich leaving the history making to us okay 👍 Sincerely, Red Sox Fans

[@basebyonny]

where were the red sox at this year?

[@BostonBori92]

@basebyonny where we always have been as the team with the most WS victories in the last 20 years 🤷‍♂️

[@BostonBori92]

@basebyonny We ain't even 10 years out from the last red sox WS appearance lmfaoo this was the Yankees first in 15 years 😂 what is we talking about

[@zeprin]

I've always felt that throws to First should count as a Pitch!!

[@thanos9846]

Judge for the fail. I can't stop smiling.

[@stingfan16ify]

Since I absolutely LOVE the Dodgers and totally HATE the Yankees, this series was truly wonderful in every regard. After their pitchers heal, the Dodgers will only get stronger in the years to come, so the future is amazingly bright!!!

[@Donnyb23]

Cole miraculously gets Yanks out of that inning and somehow he's being blamed for Rizzo's lack of athleticism and skill in the field.

[@brunopavesi8159]

The red sox let me down sometimes, the Yankees never disappoint.

[@SupeDefy]

Yankees beat bunch of bullpen bench pitchers in game 4. Dodgers basically gave the game 4 to the Yankees to rest their starting pitchers. Would have faced aces Yamamoto and Buehler in games 6/7.

[@johnchieze530]

judge's disgrace will be forever remembered as the yankees 'bill buckner moment'
