Not a Yankees fan, but I will weigh in and say that I don't think Boone is a particularly good manager. The Yanks had lots of firepower, which got them to the WS in a weak AL ... but he did nothing much to make a positive impression in the WS. Now, that said, it is difficult for me to blame Boone for the absurd errors the Yanks made in game 5. I think it is fair to say that playing well and playing basics is ultimately on the manager. I think it is also likely that even if the Yanks held on in game 5, they likely would have lost the series in Los Angeles. So ... mixed bag on Boone. If I was a Yankee fan, I'd probably want him gone. An ironic thing is that if I was a Yankee fan, I probably would want Mendoza as manager. Funny how things work out.

My thoughts exactly.

[@Coolguy-es7mq]

Yankees fan here, and congrats to the Dodgers on the win. If the Yankees are just going to hand it to them, then they deserve it. The Yankees had that game with likelihood at its best to win and make it a 3-2 series, but they decided to just hand it over.

[@AshMorton]

Cole should be ashamed of himself. Yanks had life and a chance, and he blew it. Even Torres should be like WTF

[@MarkBush-en5cz]

If you have watched baseball your entire life then you may be suffering from memory loss not to remember "The Jose Bautista Bat Flip Inning," Easily worse than the Yankees' choke 5th inning. But everyone will say, "Gasp, The Yankees?"

[@patpatty8521]

Disgusting weird is the perfect way to explain that

[@CJZM7777]

I think that was the only time in the series that the pitcher didn't cover 1st base on a ground ball to the right side. Judge took his eye off the ball for some reason maybe to check the runner to see if he could double him off. Volpe had a tough throw to 3rd base and the 3rd baseman didn't position himself to give Volpe a good throwing lane either. They probably could have survive 1 or 2 errors but 3 errors was simply too much. I was pulling for LA but not a NYY hater either. But, that was simply bad baseball. LA deserved it and as a Braves fan, I loved seeing Freddie Freeman have a great series.

[@Yankees3301]

What the hell just happened!?

[@richardlug6139]

You Yankees lost😹😹😹😹😹

[@maxcartel6707]

This is career defining for Judge

[@will27ns]

If 9-years-olds performed like that, it would be shameful.

[@trustbelieve3481]

I give Cole a pass on not making it to first base. He was too busy making up for all the blunders by the defense by dealing with max pressure and still striking out two hitters with the bases loaded. Rizzo could have helped relieve some of the pressure Cole was going through. He didn't even make an attempt to run to first base.

[@mastermalo2370]

At least the pain is finally over.

[@BookemDanno311]

People said Cole had 0 earned runs. BS all 5 of these eventually are a result of his error. Couldn't have happened to a better team! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[@ShakespeareCafe]

I knew the season was over the moment Lazy AZZ Cole just stood there pointing his finger at Rizzo

[@randyeisensmith1483]

I think he was telling Rizzo "Get to the bag, you washed up, overpaid piece of crap"! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Gk2003m]

Yanks snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Horrendous baseball. Fielding errors happen, and while bad neither of those swept away the lead. The biggest error was emblematic of their biggest issue all season: lack of hustle. Grounder to first. Pitcher should be covering. He does not. First baseman is half the distance from the bag as the runner when he fields the ball. He does not run the ball to the bag; he just sorta jogs. If pitcher hustles and covers, inning over at 5-1. If first baseman hustles to the bag instead of jogging, inning over at 5-1. Worst defensive inning I’ve ever seen.

[@part6133]

Can you give an error to the pitcher if he does not cover 1B

[@Gruntbaseball]

should be

[@pete956]

Should be but no. Mental errors don't count as errors.

[@MrSocko-vn7fw]

It’s on Rizzo. That dude had all the time in the world to put his foot on 1st base. Go watch the replay. Dudes lazy af get rid of him.

[@AshMorton]

And then Khanle blows it. Can this just end already. These guys are a joke

[@mosesCordovero-uw5vw]

hey, whatever it takes to give the Dodgers the World Championship, is okay with me

[@westfield90]

I actually felt sorry for them. The dodgers were handed this victory on a silver platter.

[@Rayburn58]

The Dodgers are clearly the superior team. Yankees didn't even deserve to be on the same field as the mighty Dodgers. What kind of a pathetically weak league allows these yankees chumps to be champions. The Padres and Mets would have kicked these jokers ass.

[@tc.hydock]

The Mookie Betts play was ruled as a hit. It's certainly a mental error and terrible misjudgment by Cole, but it's not a scorebook error. Ironically, in some ways, the Cole play was actually the worst of the 3.

[@Gruntbaseball]

I absolutely agree!

[@davidellis5141]

@Gruntbaseball Thanks for the coverage all year Grunt ! Congratulations on this going viral 💪. Love all the trolls & bots .. AI generated.

[@Gruntbaseball]

@davidellis5141 thank you for being around all year again my friend

[@redriderbbgun8018]

Couldn't happen to a better team! Go Dodgers 🎉🩵

[@TheGodfather1955]

I couldn't believe what I was seeing in that inning. It was like watching unprepared high school players.

[@JacquamillafiousJBH]

Unacceptable

[@hushpuckena126]

My vote goes to the 1966 Series game started by Koufax. Three straight errors behind him.

[@robertdickson9319]

Not thrilled with either of these teams playing in the World Series, but it's always good to see the Yankees lose!

[@lostsoul3154]

Judge took his eyes off the ball just before it hit his glove .......Bad throw to third base..........When a ground ball is hit to the first baseman, the pitcher ALWAYS ALWAYS runs up the line to cover first. What an inning.

[@Q.B.2.L.B.]

And just like that they lose. They gave away 2 games in this series. Unbelievable

[@fastbikes67]

High school baseball last night. I turned it off knowing LAD had it. Classic choke by multiple players.

[@WhattheRuck]

HS????? More like Little League..

[@Nestor123057]

I have watched the World Series since 1967 and this is the worst meltdown defensively, I have ever witnessed. The Yankees didn't deserve to win.

[@sonofsanto]

most sane yankees game

[@Rocker5005]

I sure thought being 5 runs ahead on the 5th inning was a safe lead, but I guess 🤬king not! It's just lots of bad luck for a team during any game, when the opposing team can last 20 minutes playing with 2 outs and sometimes score 7 runs, mean come on, how 🤬king hard is it to get that last out?

[@johnszczerba9979]

Judge choking like usual

[@sharkrichard]

FIRE CASHMAN! Do I have to run onto the field opening day with a shaved head, orange monk robe, gasoline and a lighter with a sign stating “ FIRE CASHMAN” to get Hal’s attention Jesus!

[@sanchezjr13]

What a great inning!

[@nmappraiser9926]

Cole on the mound was the Dodgers' worst nightmare. Cole refusing to come off the mound was the Yankees' downfall.

[@BeckVMH]

The most egregious play was Cole not covering first. This is a routine play at any level. How does that happen! Regardless, neither of the three miscues would've happened if Karma wasn't cocked and ready due to the stupid fan interference in Game 4. So really, it was those guys fault.🤣

[@alviverdeus]

A terrible pitching change in Game 1 and 3 errors in Game 5 were the difference between a 4-1 LA rout, and the Yankees being up 3-2 today.

[@VulcanLogic]

Billy Buckner watched this game from heaven and smiled.

[@joebarr725]

Strange things happen when guys named Mookie hit slow ground balls to the first baseman in the World Series.

[@rogueldr642smiythe9]

Sorry Grunt, they are not called the Stankees for nothing.

[@lil----lil]

It ALL started when Judge missed the catch...I swear....One minute you're on TOP of the world (back-to-back HR), the next minute, you start a train wreck and EVERYTHING, and I do mean everything went downhill after that missed catch. Unreal.
