I swear whenever Hicks gets a hold of a pitch he really gets a hold of it. What a fucking bomb. Wish he could do that 29 more times.

IKF is such a swiss army knife, guy can play just about anywhere

[@asdfaeou]

Gotta love the pure determination on Bader's face as he's chugging towards third.

[@JasonMistretta-wf5ip]

I love Bader. He reminds me of a young, aggressive Brett Gardner.

[@javtimestwo]

Bader has been outstanding. He is a spark plug and a gamer

[@seanharris8419]

I thought that too. He plays almost exactly like Gardner. I love how he stretched the double into a triple today with that hustle. If he stays in pin stripes for a while and plays hard like this, he’s gonna be very loved in New York.

[@90s-is-the-golden-era]

Gardner ??? He was trash. He is one of the worst statistical hitters of all time. A strikeout king who never produced in the playoffs. He only strikeouts, especially in clutch situations. I don't know what game you were watching.

[@JasonMistretta-wf5ip]

@@90s-is-the-golden-era Baseball is more than just hitting. I am talking about his attitude & passion for the game. He gave 100% at all times. He hustled, he tried to make plays with his legs always trying to stretch singles to doubles and doubles to triples. He made a play to make the defense make a play to beat him. He didn't just jog to first base (like Hicks or sometimes Stanton) when hit a grounder to third. He SPRINTED to put pressure on the defense. THOSE are the things that I was watching when I saw him play. Playing 14 years as a professional baseball player isn't just "luck." You have to be a good player to play that long.

[@90s-is-the-golden-era]

@JasonMistretta-wf5ip I understand what you are talking about. This is not little league baseball or even college baseball. This is a professional sport where you are expected to perform at a high level. Something Brett Gardner never did. He was a below average baseball player whose career lasted that long because he was with the Yankees with terrible managers who flat out can't coach. He would not have made any other teams starting lineup. Stanton, not hustling, is unacceptable, but he has more clutch in the playoffs in a couple of years with Yankees than Gardner had his whole career. Brett Gardner was a joke.This shouldn't even be a conversation. Look up the numbers. They speak for themselves. Pure trash. An embarrassment.

[@krankrocker]

What a blast by Hicks! Hopefully, this will help put his struggles to rest.

[@giannagenovese3767]

Just came home from a long, hard (that's what she said) day at work to see this video and the top 4 comments are shots taken at Hicks even after a W. You guys are the best 🤣

[@seanharris8419]

Maybe that absolute shot that Hicks just belted will be a turning point for him.

[@raynerstuelgalid]

We really need 1 or 2 more of a DJ-like player. Man stays within himself and it helps when when the lineup is spinning its wheels in a game.

He's a complete loser and clown who kneels in honor of criminals and apparently has to service Boone and Cashman to stay on the team. The pitcher accidentally hit his bat and we're supposed to forget that he has been one of the worst players in baseball for 5 years, so far.

[@RootinNRuttin]

I guess with all the failures we’ve had since ‘09, I’ve already lost hope this season. We suck. Go yanks. But we suck. Cashman needs to go… just sayin. Boone can only do so much with farm league players on an mlb roster. Volpe wasn’t ready. We all knew that. They just wanted to give us hype in hopes he would bust thru the gates. He’s not Derek Jeter. Never will be. Derek couldn’t even save this team. But y’all remember when the yanks took the field back in the day and they looked professional and looked intimidating? I do. This team looks like any other team. Nothing special. Stanton is over rated. Judge is good. Bader is solid. Cole is good. Cortes is good. Other than that, we bite. Rizzo is okay. We need a whole new roster. Seriously. Wont happen for a while tho. Hicks, hit a homer off a little league pitcher. Not impressed.
