To those saying it's time to completely tear the team apart and rebuild, I get the frustration but it doesn't make sense. Houston is the only team in the AL better than the Yankees. It doesn't make sense to start from scratch but that being said there need to be some changes. Boone, for one, should be gone. Using the Boston comeback vs the yankees as "motivation" should be fireable on its own. I have a bad feeling the Yankees are just going to stay pretty much the way they are heading into next season and lean on thinking the banning of the shift is going to help them out since they have a lot of players who get shifted against heavily and will more than likely see big improvements in batting average. That will be their argument if they don't make any real changes, since they "expect" the team to be capable of small ball next season due to the changes

The hatred is due to the fact that Boone makes rookie mistakes as a manager and our “star” players *mainly judge, but rizzo, Stanton, IKF, Donaldson etc are all veterans and yet they played like absolute garbage after the all-star game which is when everything started going downhill. The Yankees deserve the shit they get (and I’m a life long yankee fan) because they seemed like they just laid down and gave up. Hardly any emotions by our players, when they’re losing they all just look like they wanna give up and it’s pathetic. Especially to behave like this in the post season.

[@josequintana3669]

The Yankees will be telling us all what their plans are for the next decade. It all revolves around Judge. The arguments for letting him go or re-signing him are compelling. The easy decision, to re-sign him, is based on his production and status in the game. He is one of the main faces of MLB. He is beloved in The Bronx. Yet, he is now 30 years old, so his prime years are behind him. I believe he will maintain solid production for another five years. I certainly would not sign him to a contract past five years. If, for some reason, he does not come back, Cashman had better be ready to infuse some youth into the roster. There is no way Ohtani comes here. He prefers the West Coast of the U.S. Do we need another batter with 160+ strikeouts in 600 at bats? The Yankee brass will ultimately make this decision based on marketing and ticket sales. How many current season ticket holders will refuse to pay for another season if Judge walks? How does that affect their TV, radio, marketing, and merchandising income? Most home games are near capacity for attendance, so re-signing him won't bring any new seats into the Stadium. They are at capacity on that end. Will they lose viewers on the YES Network? Will they have to renegotiate advertising contracts at lower levels? Let's get real. The Yankee brand is the most important thing to Steinbrenner. The other factor is simple. Re-define the roster to fit a different playing strategy. Letting Judge walk will at least relieve the club of a mega contract that could go south in a couple of years. No one can control injuries; that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Yet, Cashman has to rely on his pro/minor league scouts on what they see throughout the league and minors. Analytics should only be used for very specific situations. Analytics should not be used to write an everyday lineup. Baseball guts should. Honestly, you would think a baseball lifer like Boone would be able to write an MLB line up? The man has seen probably tens of thousands of baseball games in his lifetime. He needs a computer to figure out where to put Judge? Leadoff? Are you kidding me?

That is how BADLY they want to be like Big Daddy so badly! Cashman needs to be gone after this embarrassment.

[@justinherbert9146]

Not surprised in the least -- knew 100 percent that the Astros pitching staff was lethal plus timely hitting at the plate and excellent defense -- and a Yankee team after July 1, 2022 that was mediocre - GO NEW YORK GIANTS!!!

[@CristianG13]

"Three of them they could have won" 🤣Lmfao. Biased ass commentators. I mean they could have won all 4 if they just simply scored more runs than the Astros

[@MrAndyhdz]

It's a Yankees network of course they are going to be biased

[@marylouculkar4391]

Yankees overrated by sycophantic national sports media. Our Guardians would have at least put up a fight and not strike out. I’m not saying we would have won the ALCS. I’m saying we would have tried.

[@Yankfan2025]

There's no other decision to be made. The manager and GM have to be changed. The formula is not working. The formula must change. The leadership must change. It's true One championship in 21 years. That is unacceptable for the New York Yankees Something must change!!

50 year Yankee fan & this was THE low point! including the 60's & 70's when they were horrible! But entertaining! Dont even care anymore. In the words of Carleone-- Its only a Business!

Still gonna crow about Donaldson's defense Michael? Guess all those K's and unproductive at bats not moving runners over doesn't matter.

Yankees are a class act Choke Job 🤣😂

[@XxChuyoxX]

Nice to see Michael Kay call it like it is and saying who the better team is.

[@cardslifer2828]

Bottom Line is NYY just doesn't have the right character players or the right skill sets like the previous teams of the late 90's early 2000's did. Judge, Stanton etc could care less about winning a WS hence the postgame laughing, smiling etc. They are a different breed from the Jeter's, Posada's, Rivera's etc.

It wasn’t meant to be. Changes need to be made.

[@Stich46]

Michael Kay, simply Yankees have met their Daddy!!!

[@njambassador4422]

Michael can't say this year 'Nothing'. You thought it was nothing in '17 and '19 back then as well.

[@BadMoonRising92]

You as a fan should hold the team and organization accountable for this embarrassing performance. Not chalk it up as more cheating, plus there’s zero evidence of them cheating in 2019. People are just going off hurt feelings and a troll Twitter account saying buzzers. The Astros smoked them all season. Plus If it’s not the Astros knocking them out in October, it’s someone else in the division doing it. The Yankees continue to fall short and have made zero progress while other teams have

[@brucelee5585]

I think that we should've won Game 4 & would've if not for the botched play by Gleyber Torres and IKF. This doesn't mean that we would've came back & sweep the rest of the games, but if we had won then we still had a slight chance to win the ALCS. Games 1 & 2 were winnable, but our offense didn't hit well, especially when Verlander got tired & might've won the ALCS if they had up their capabilities.

[@erminobenitez3122]

The yankees only had four players that been there before everyone else was new young Bader had good seires Rizzo also Torres stanton these players were the only ones to hit score run against houston team that every play got hits. Our pitching wzs good ..next year.

[@flamestrikenightfire4784]

We have to play better next year and be blunt show no emotio dont celebrate hrs or strikeouts play smart and no more post or after game media. Strickly play win repeat then celebrate when we win it all.

You'll never convince me that the Astros aren't still cheating.

[@SexAndCandyHair92]

Nope they are just the better team. Time for the cheating to be put to rest. They can beat you without cheating too. They are simply put, the Yankees daddy.

Embarrassing. Us Yankee fans have been humbled. Might be time to accept fact. We suck.

The problem is the General Manager, the Head Coach and "some" under performing big contract players; front office, admit you guys made some mistakes, count your losses and move on, don't keep dragging dead weight, under achiever players, that simple!

[@magichwoo]

These guys are full of shit. Blaming IFK when they can't hit. Period. The Yankees can't hit. That's the problem, not because of IKF. He didn't play for 2 games and they lost those games too. Why? Because they can't hit. These guys were told to blame others except Boone and Cashman. Astro are a better team.

[@JoseMorales-lw5nt]

As a 41 year old lifelong Yankees fan, a tip of the hat... to the Phillies. Good luck come Game 1 of The World Series. Here's hoping you can do what my Yankees can't... defeat The Astros when it counts!

Typical weak take from a Yankees fan… Enjoy watching the game on the boob tube, boob.
