[@gtnew]

Thank you for talking about baseball first take!!!!

[@raiderscat]

gabe newland fake takes

[@keanajames4209]

Finally some respect on Didis name

[@chrisbard8656]

Keana James underrated

[@darrio6625]

As a yankees fan I follow this team all year all I know is if you not hitting your spots early I don’t care who you are this team will hurt you if the bull pen stay consistent this could be the year of the dynasty don’t forget 2018 free agents and you know the two people I’m talking about

[@TRivera13]

Stephen A said it best. The Yankees weren't even supposed to compete this year let alone win a playoff game. They are at least two years ahead of schedule. They're just having fun while gaining valuable playoff experience. *IF* they can get passed Cleveland, and that's a big IF. I like their chances against every other team. It's going to be interesting.

[@Cc0le45]

As a Yankees fan this was awesome to watch! Cleveland is gonna be a tough opponent, but we have the capability to beat them. This team has heart and no one expected them to get this far. I don't think we will win but we have a chance!! And we can only go up from here!

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodsm4708]

I’m a very happy yankee fan. Straight from The Bronx

[@LouieV6]

Jeremy Hayes Same here brother

[@darrio6625]

Jeremy Hayes same here for life

[@hiitsme3039]

As a Indians fan I'm scared of the Yankees they remind me of the Indians last year

[@johnpange7158]

Lets go yanks that game was crazy last night. Im really scared of the indians tho

[@socalautographs163]

A baseball topic on first take? Rare. Not surprised it's about the Yankees though 😂😂

[@raiderscat]

SoCal Autographs its post season so now these fools have to pretend to be experts

[@MikeBNumba6]

SAS knows nothing about baseball. He only knows the Yankees and that's it. Usually everytime they talk about baseball it has to do with the Yankees. That's why SAS has them winning

[@reikwestphilly1599]

SoCal Autographs I've never seen them talk about baseball lmfao

[@hungerxhunger2548]

MikeBNumba6 It's true but he does love the Yankees and knows a lot about them just not anyone else.

[@MylotheZooLovingScientist]

It sucks, they only talk about baseball when there's some huge controversy like a brawl or a scandal, or during the Postseason, which everyone knows is prime bandwagoning time.

[@a.w.b.9971]

So glad Max is on the show now, if that was Skip we would never hear a baseball segment on this show

[@ednelson2501]

Severino threw under 1 inning. That means he can start game 2 or 3 against Cleveland. And the BIG BATS came up BIG. I have trouble seeing Cleveland stopping this team. Yanks in 4. Split in Cleveland and sweep in the Bronx

[@raiderscat]

tam hill youre underestimating Indians

[@ednelson2501]

Raiders Cat : I am not one of those guys that says " I told u so " but if game 2 had went in a NY way.........Good series though. Both squads looked good. either could have won. They both had thier chances.

[@reikwestphilly1599]

I never really watched baseball but I'm going to check out this year's playoffs to see if I like it or not

[@MoonisHavn]

Dnt watch a second of baseball but i do enjoy watching max and st.a discuss it like all of their topics rlly. (Including politics)

[@alsilver7780]

Alno Highking W

[@LouieV6]

Yankees are the only NY sports team to be proud of at the moment

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodsm4708]

LouieV6 NYCFC (soccer) is the second best team in the eastern conference

[@LouieV6]

Jeremy Hayes I don't watch soccer, but that's cool. Another NY team to be proud of

[@LouieV6]

LongSnappersLivesMatter Forgot about them.

[@LetsDruz]

Which is why all the bandwagon casual fans are coming out of nowhere. Yankee Stadium was lit the other night and it's been a morgue for years.

[@zacharidchilds4291]

My Cubs vs Indians part 2. I love to see Cubs vs Yankees too. Cubs repeat

[@alecbrown1946]

Did he just say the Yankees bullpen can win them the world series??? Does he know anything about the Indians bullpen

[@chrisrush1694]

Do t forget Gardner and Bird they were huge

[@maxheadroom1207]

You guys gotta understand that baseball isn't basketball where you know who's gonna win it before the season even starts. Any team in the playoffs right now could win the WS. Yeah on paper the indians are a better team but you just never know whats gonna happen.

[@Storyofarose]

Dear all my Yankees fans It’s Us against the world now

[@RespectCleveland304]

Anthony Rose Nigga get the fuck outta here!

[@wompbag123]

Yankee starting pitching is gonna have to step up and give them length need 6-7 innings out of the starters 5 at a very minimum. Yankees are playing with house money against the Indians worse case this Yankees team will gain valuable postseason experience against an experienced ball club. I have no problem with people picking the Indians and my brain says the Indians will win it all but you can't say the Yankees dont have a shot they will have to get lucky in this series. Tonight is a critical game in my eyes its essentially a game 7 especially for the Yankees.

[@damagedone56]

Lets go yanks i know you can do this!!!!

[@joekotulak5912]

What people should recognize is that the Yankees record can be somewhat deceiving. There's been a ridiculous number of games this year where Chapman blew the lead in the bullpen for Yanks. I think the Yanks have something like 20 blown saves. There easily could be like 10 games in there that they lost out of those 20 blown saves. Indians are rightly favor no matter what, but the Yanks are less of an underdog than one might think.

[@RicardoGonzalez-mt8yw]

Yankees 27 championships......💯 2017 champs over Arizona Rematch....

[@malikabercrombie9513]

Go Yankees

[@joaoascencao575]

As a met fan, I hope the yankees get lit up like a Christmas tree in this series.

[@RicardoGonzalez-mt8yw]

Lol !!! Mets don't evening get a backpage in New York.... Who's your Daddy... Yanks 27th Rings!!!

[@bmorebamma]

Haters gonna hate

[@mr.splashteen2303]

Can't wait for the 2001 World Series rematch

[@cbcbrown88]

Jason Young I was 13 myself and I remember it well. Revenge would definitely be sweet this year.

[@cbcbrown88]

Tommywood Man forget the Dbacks. It's #YanksNation

[@rexeo0352]

Mr. Splashteen jfi

[@kristopherhoskin208]

woah slow down big fella..

[@israymervalentin-arias6313]

Hated that world series...I was 13 years old and my heart broke. However, the DBacks wont be able to do that again, it took 2 pure aces having amazing seasons for the diamond backs to narrowly winin 7 games. This season the Yankees would sweep them.

[@ZWATER1]

Go Yankees 👍

[@kd35beast24]

I hope the Yankees Quickie Cleveland like GS did

[@bisondays6011]

My money's on the Indians defeating the pale Yankees! !

[@doubleb878]

They don't even talk about the Indians

[@RicardoGonzalez-mt8yw]

Cleveland who??? New York Yankees world 27th champion ships💯⭐⭐⭐

[@doubleb878]

Ricardo Gonzalez New York gonna need some brooms cause they bouta get swept 😎😎😎

[@TalkinnGrubbinMedia]

Jonathan Smith Yankees aren't winning jack shit.

[@ReflectivitytivitcelfeR]

Double B Might wanna rewatch the game agian tonight

[@ReflectivitytivitcelfeR]

Kobe blew a 3-1 lead Dude as an American I am absolutley insulted. My God. How could you dare bring up a national tradgedy, that isn't just a reflection to the State and City but to us as a Nation. Now for the Sake of Jesus Christ my Savior delete that comment and get the FUCK out of our country.

[@ahmedny5857]

Yanks probably have a better rotation. They def have a better bullpen, their offense is nearly equal. I think Yankees take this

[@TalkinnGrubbinMedia]

Swaggy Shep Actually the Indians have a better rotation than the Yankees, they totaled for the biggest strikeout total in MLB History.

[@jamal2010]

the Indians finna hit 50 homeruns in yankee stadium

[@vasileweezy]

Lol you beat Minnesota who has a terrible bullpen, good luck having a hard time to score runs against Cleveland

[@FoodieJoe]

I hate how the media fall all over big market teams. I hate it. I didnt see good baseball yesterday. I saw a team put their best pitcher and he only recorded one OUT. Verse a team that lost 100 games last year and a pitcher that never won a game in that stadium.. Twins are happy just being there. No Yankees do not have a chance.No the Dodgers do not have a chance. Name one thing Yankees are better at than Cleveland. Starting pitching? Defense? Coaching? Experience? Being a Cleveland fan of all sports I hate how they just ignore small market teams. Im ready for these old people to just go and stop being bias.

[@TalkinnGrubbinMedia]

me Because networks like ESPN have a huge big city bias, they would give anything to see a Red Sox/Yankees ALCS anything else would be a huge disappointment to them because less ratings equals less money. Plus, cats like Max and Stephen A. are NY guys so there's so homerism there. Just like they hoped for a Cubs/Red Sox World Series last year. They hated that LeBron came back to Cleveland, they said he wouldn't win in Cleveland. Now, that he's won one in Cleveland they feel he should go to L.A. and save the Lakers.

[@loadali]

Who are the Yankees playing in this series?

[@kelhenjarquin3422]

lol Stephen a smith said "cleveland is the best team" and then pick the Yankees. Bullpens don't win games they keep the lead. cleveland has 5 legitimate starters who can shut you down for 7 innings so by the time you use the great Yankee bullpen you already lost the game.

[@jeffreyhouse1306]

If the Yanks can at least give the Indians some trouble, I'll be happy

[@darrio6625]

Jeffrey House I expect a fight not a sweep

[@KillerChickenz01]

ADAM WARREN AINT ELITE HE HAS A 2.35 ERA WTF

[@rjd1974]

Max the Atros had the best run differential...not Cleveland.

[@Wonders2Ponder]

Go Tribe

[@Wonders2Ponder]

Grande1124 I’m glad 9/11 happened to New York

[@Wonders2Ponder]

Grande1124 ooo that really hurts pussy. New York will be underwater soon so good luck with all that.

[@Wonders2Ponder]

Grande1124 how are the knicks doing?

[@Wonders2Ponder]

Grande1124 how are the rangers doing?

[@Wonders2Ponder]

Grande1124 id rather be the giants than the browns

[@brashadcarr6759]

They are not beating the Indians

[@mnguardianfan7128]

This crap is exactly why I now hate ESPN. This discussion was 100% from a Yankee's fan perspective and 0% from Cleveland's perspective. They are clearly and obviously kissing Yankee's fans butts for MONEY. They know that there is more money in it for them kissing New Yorker's asses than actually have a real baseball discussion.

[@mnguardianfan7128]

Starlin - Yeah, pretty much what I expect from a arrogant love-them-or-F-U Yankee 'fan'.

[@KillerChickenz01]

SEVY GONNA BOUNCE BACK HE SHUTTING OUT THE INDIANS NEXT TIME HE PITCHES

[@chillvibes375]

The yankees, have been solid this year. But i think the indians will beat them.

[@antoniogonzalez8347]

Cleveland VS the WORLD so many haters 2017 world champions and Cleveland Cavaliers 2018 NBA champions

[@yunge9482]

Lol the only time baseball is relevant is when it’s playoffs

[@smallz4518]

Obito Uchiha Yup, that’s why it’s the most popular worldwide American sport and is still growing...

[@yunge9482]

Smallz that’s coo.. just my opinion. Regular season baseball besides from opening day it’s boring.. but playoffs it’s just another atmosphere

[@smallz4518]

Kobe blew a 3-1 lead The MLB is the most spread American sport around but the NBA and NFL are more popular in the United States.

[@Jb-hv6tq]

Dodgers are the best team in baseball

[@TalkinnGrubbinMedia]

Random stuff But the Indians had a stronger finish than the Dodgers.

[@nenehitta5544]

Btown still better than the Yankees !!!! #Facts #RedSoxNation !!!!

[@JosephDStec]

Title should be "First Take Gushes over Yankees"- no mention of the far superior Indians

[@tyronegraves1638]

REDSOX!!!!!!!!

[@MIKEYJAY27]

These guys don't know jack about baseball

[@raiderscat]

Ofcourse they dont cover it until the playoffs & then act like experts

[@Vendqtta]

Indians 4-0

[@blackcobra1981]

Cleveland is about to be on suicide watch when Lebron wears and roots for his favorite team, the Yankees

[@hungerxhunger2548]

blackcobra1981 What I thought Cleveland cubs were LBJ favorite team?

[@mexicokingin9137]

How does lavar become a topic on espn everyday starting to hate this show

[@JohnNoir8911]

Mexico Kingin stfu

[@celticbird2398]

Your grammar is fucking hurendus, dude.

[@Prime_76]

Stop disrespecting my INDIANS damn!!!!!

[@williamhardenbergh4218]

indians sweep 3-0

[@SITHDESTROYS]

Best team in regular season doesn't mean shit if you can't carry it to the postseason!!! #GOYANKEES

[@robertovilchis8628]

It’s not fair to say it was one of the worst starts , he only gave up 3 runs and they got him out early. Stephen a don’t know shit about baseball lol

[@randumo24]

I mean, it was really bad. His playoff ERA is now 81.

[@marshallnash5705]

What about the Astros

[@ednelson2501]

Houston looks good. Should be a good few games with the 4 teams. Altuve looks good for the 2nd place MVP also.

[@marshallnash5705]

Smh who is getting mvp over Altuve

[@chrisbard8656]

marshall nash that stupid judge hype

[@fredrickbutts2392]

World Series 😅 Max stop

[@raiderscat]

Im salty the Yankees won.

[@Albert_710]

Want some sugar?

[@raiderscat]

Albert Hakimi no I need some pepper to balance this salt.

[@Bigjoe23Joe]

#houstonastros

[@rzorro178]

As usual the sports median sucking up to New York teams!!

[@codyd6791]

The N.Y. bias on this show is real 🗑🗑

[@TheRabidbunnies]

Indians best team in baseball? I guess the Dodgers don't have the best record anymore??? FOH East Coast bias

[@TalkinnGrubbinMedia]

King Chen Just because you have the best record doesn't always make you the best team. After that winning streak, the Dodgers had a big free fall while the Indians went on their 22-game winning streak. The Dodgers managed to put it together at the end and barely edged out the Indians for the best record.

[@TimmyA213]

Indians are going to blow a 3-1 lead again.

[@brendanseaman5672]

Timothy Alvarez it's best of 5

[@TimmyA213]

Brendan Seaman it's called a joke

[@TimmyA213]

Kobe blew a 3-1 lead someone is a bit sensitive. Didn't I hurt your feelings? Lol get the fuck out of here.

[@leftbenchplayaa]

Yankees are not winning the World Series lmfao

[@SolitarySoldier]

Austin Madore the yankees have so many issues despite being in the postseason. First of all severino last night sucked it was a joke. Hes the ace and couldnt get outta the first inning with giving up 2 bombs lol. Second of all judge cant and never has hit good pitching, number 3 sanchez is a terrible catcher, dont know if you saw but i counted 4 passed balls yesterday hes terrible i would run on that fatass any day because he has no capability to block balls and catch the ball (bad hand eye coordination). Also the bullpens overworked

[@anthonygarcia8525]

RiseAbove 756 So one postseason game defines Severino's career?

[@maxheadroom1207]

Kershaw has had terrible post season starts so would you not start him? BTW.Sanchez has one of the highest caught stealing% in the league.

[@kd35beast24]

Cleveland will get quickied... AGAIN

[@george51391]

Sanchez struggles to block balls but he has a great arm which is why people dont run on him genius. Also the most complete hitting catcher no argument. Wouldve had at least 40 and 120 if he didnt miss a month

[@Striderthedripper_]

Indian's in 3

[@jodyspeedball454]

Yankees will fuckin lose

[@igottakoqez2320]

LLLLL

[@Awesome30034]

Overrated Yankees team, they are not clutch. That's why the Red Sox won the division

[@mickeyott542]

no red sox won the division cause there dirty fucking cheaters

[@crossingyouinstyle]

Ben Hanssen but we went 21-8 in September...

[@ednelson2501]

Any team can cheat and win a few games. Or are we talking New England Patsies ? Didn't they get caught 2 ? That was a couple of years after THE GIANTS ruined thier perfect season.

[@Truthserum94]

Yet we won the series against the Red Sox 😂

[@jeffreyhouse1306]

Ben Hanssen Bruh, we aren't overrated. Someone's a Red Sox fan
