We fucking did it.  Fuck yes.  What a comeback.  What grit.  Demons exercised.  Fucking hell mother fucking yes.  Fuck yes.   We fucking did it.

LOL, how do you manage to consistently be so wrong?  Pitcher sprints for the bag regardless of who is batting.  Cole should have been going to the bag and Rizzo should have charged the ball more, both

Just to pile on helo - when i skimmed his slew of "i quit" and "this series is over" posts after game one, I was not aware he titled his 2024 Yankees thread, "Never Surrender."

Game 1 Friday night - 7 central.

Very tight odds. Think I like LAD a bit more than -128.

Ok. Someone explain this to me like I’m 5. I get the individual game odds easy (Dodgers are 1.5 run favorites to win game 1). The series odds are confusing

Oh because the fucking Yankees and Dodgers play one WS the MLB is broken and unfair?

Cry me a fucking river.

Rangers '23 - 4th in total payroll (but $96M was injured - DeGrom didn't do anything - Scherzer barely did)

Astros '22 - 8th

ATL '21 - 10th

LAD '20 - 1st but a fucky COVID season

WAS '19 - 7th

BOS '18 - 1st

HOU '17 - 17th

CHC '16 - 5th

KC '15 - 13th

SF '14 - 7th

Average - 7.3

Yeah - newsflash - your owners need to not be a bunch of cheap fucks- but only 4 out of the last 10 spent in the top 5 - one of those was an asterisk season.

You still generally need to spend money on the right players, fill out the roster with talent that has come up through the system, and have a competent coaching staff.

I understand why most would scoff at the narrative of the Yankees being plucky underdogs, but that’s exactly what they are here. Just a team that’s gotten to where they are by playing solid all-around baseball and having some underrated guys step up

I'm shocked - SHOCKED - that:

1. A member of the Jomboy mafia has a shitty, illogical take that completely misses the point of the discussion

2. Helo completely bought into it.

I’m still trying to understand how someone who owns the most valuable baseball team in the league, worth $7.5B, 26% of YES Network and pieces of several other businesses is only worth $3.8B

You seriously think he’s the sole owner of the Yankees or any of their holdings?

Then Hal’s net worth isn’t relevant. What’s the net worth of Yankee Global Enterprises, the entity that does own the club?

1.  How is Cohen not on that list?

2.  Holy shit, I've met the Mariners' owner, and I had no idea it was him.   I thought he was just some random dumbfuck.

Really going to be critical that Freddie gets healthy.  When he did play in the NLCS he wasn’t right (or the DS for that matter).  We are going to need production from him.  We can’t count on an Edman or Kike to contribute at the level they did in the CS.  We’re re going to need our stars to carry it.  Our starting pitching is going to be an adventure.  We’re going to need to out slug them.  Sure we had a great shutout stretch, but we’ve also had some blowup starts.  I’m not banking a rotation of Yamamoto, Flaherty, Buehler and a bullpen game is going to go toe to toe with the Yankees starters.

Our pitchers vs that lineup is what’s scary

The biggest thing in reverse is the penchant of the Yankee bullpen to implode in high leverage moments. Mariano Rivera isn’t walking through that door.

I think if Soto has a big series then the Yanks win. If the Dodgers pen comes up big they win. I am not real confident in Judge becoming a pressure performer like Soto or even like Stanton in the last series. I would like to hope he flips a switch, but you can’t count on him at the moment to produce. Hopefully returning to SoCal will be good for him and Stanton. 
 

The Dodgers are a fun team. I went to a game there years ago and had a great time. If they win it I’d be happy for them, especially so because of the imbecile “WAR guys” who said Ohtani would not be worth what he is getting paid. He is just an incredible once-in-a-lifetime talent that baseball has never seen before. He makes the game fun. I hope there are more Japanese players in the pipeline that come over with more regularity in the future.

Not really giving any earth shattering stuff here, but we all know the Yankees have better revenue streams than anyone in the league. Hal treats this team at times like he owns the Pirates. If he doesn’t pony up whatever amount of money Soto asks for he should be dropped off in the South Bronx at 2am on a Friday night. For the record I think he will pay whatever the cost is, but it will not be an easy negotiation if he takes part in it.

I have already forgotten about this baseball season.  Way to maintain momentum and excitement with the inflexible playoff schedule, MLB.

That tends to happen when you’re team gets bounced as quickly as yours did

They actually did introduce a flexible schedule for the World Series start.

their worst case scenario came true though and they missed that alternate start kicking in by one game.

Had the dodgers won game 5 on 10/18, the series would have started this past Tuesday and we’d be looking at game 3 in New York tonight.

 

but yeah, I would be interested to see what the logistics would like to start the World Series, say, 2 days after the completion of the last LCS. I’d really be surprised if you lose that much on the corporate sponsorship side if you told all of your potential partners that’s what you are going to do.
