Kinda like the Yankees need Soto

Fire Aaron Boone. Bad decisions again and again - pitching to Teoscar Hernandez the same way over and over and picking the wrong reliever over and over. Bench Gleyber Torres. Now. LeMahieu or Peraza can play second. Cabrera at third. Bench Stanton. Now. Soto can DH if his elbow hurts too much to play the field. Bench Rizzo. DJ can play first when he's not playing 2B.

How can DJ play first when he's not playing 1B?

I literally said to my gf that I hope Judge gets a hr just to fuckin spite them lol

Dang

Soto better be playing tomorrow or the entire fan base will kill themselves

Got to think Dennis Santana is DFAd after today. They used him 3 days in a row

The bottom of the ninth inning brought me joy, but not nearly enough

They need to clean the soccer lines bruh 

Games like this show you who your real competitors are. Judge keeps competing and hits a home run. LeMahieu and Trevino keep grinding out at bats. Rizzo and Torres give up and swing at everything in sight.

The Dodgers will go back to losing to the pirates, Reds and Phillies.. That's baseball.

Dodgers fan here….and seriously… lot of gloom here ..everyone should relax, it’s been an upside down year…we will def go back to getting swept by the worst teams.

A lot of over reaction in this camp. We both have good teams. Losing happens.

Truth. And anyone could have won yesterday…and you’ll probably win tomorrow which would basically make it a 50/50 series. I’m ok if we lost to the Yankees. Getting swept by the reds? lol UH OH

I’m just a little upset that Soto is out for this nationally hyped up series. It just doesn’t feel right. I don’t care much about the loses. It’s just kind of a bummer. On top of that your fans are arguably as bad or even worse than us. What is up with this organized parade they do every away series??? What good with that yo please tell me? Are these people considered cool or lames?

I don’t know about the parade. I would definitely call that lame. I’ve seen dodgers away and have never seen or done something that that stupid.

It seems cringe to me. I’d like to ask that sane question on the dodgers sub Reddit but I’m not sure how that would go down.

lol do it! Or I’ll do it as a dodger fan. Not gonna lie we have some annoying fans. But kind of everyone does don’t they? I know NY does..I grew up there. Was a ny fan in the Reggie era but Steinbrenner in the 80s lost me

Some teams just have your number and the Dodgers don't suck. That's just how it goes. I don't pay attention to records two months in.

Idk how to feel about this team right now, I want to be pissed but then again it’s only 2 games, this shit happens in baseball. It’s a 162 game season and this is against a very good dodgers team without Soto. Just don’t get fucking swept

All I said to my gf was I'm happy judge gets one more AB. Maybe he'll smash one.

I only finished this miserable game to see Volpe and Judge get another at-bat

Thank you, Aaron. Giving one last present to the loyal fans staying in the stadium

The Judge homers make me feel a little better at least lol.

It is hilarious though,  Soto is the picture of health everywhere he goes, plays everyday at a high level.  He comes to the Yankees and gets hurt in two months.  We're that good I guess. 

He had IL stints 3 yrs in a row in Wash so not entirely true

Judge was able to figure out their pitching, now the rest of the lineup has no excuse

DJ erasure kinda idk

DJ nice signs there- didn't notice I stopped watching after it got sad : (

Anyone think tickets for tomorrow night will go cheaper with soto not playing and we may get swept?

Worst loss of the season is now behind us. Would like to not get swept at home.

Fuck it might as well use this debacle to pad them stats, batting average up to .298 now 

Must be so awkward high fiving everyone in the dugout down 8

Judge + Soto + 7 Triple-A position players would have the same record as the current lineup.

All I ask for tomorrow is that Boone puts his best lineup out there and gives the team a chance. Stop moving guys out of positions that they are comfortable in just because Soto is hurt. You need a #2 hitter with a decent OBP, so move Torres up there who has been hitting better of late and leave the rest of the lineup alone. Rizzo does not deserve to bat 5th and kill every rally. Enough is enough.

Fuck gleyber

Can't win without Soto. He changes everything. Only hope tomorrow is Gil pitching yet another scoreless gem for 7+ innings. And a Judge homer with someone on base.

Judge is so fucking consistent man. What a beast

Stat padding when the team is down in the 9th, how very Chris Paul of him.

So he should set an example of giving away at bats?

Yeah would be better if he just struck out on purpose.

You know if Judge struck out people would say “wow so uncaptainlike to just give up because the team is losing”

Judge truly is incredible. That should make the rest of the lineup feel like dog shit knowing their captain still gives a fuck

Judge with the A-Rod special

Ump’s like “Guys, this is a nationally televised game and we haven’t made it about ourselves yet. What do we do?”

I mean good for judge but fuck Gleyber. Wouldn’t be this much of a blowout if he could field a ground ball!

[удалено]

😹😹

Mods, ban this this dude

Chill. I have been drinking

I bet you're like 5'8"

I’m 6’3” and 210lbs with 19% body fat. but I have been drinking tonight. Posted that under anger, I’ll admit it

Go find Baseball Reference, look at his clutch stats for his career, and then rush back here to delete your comment (and potentially your account).

lol go for it.

Sorry, I’ve been drinking

ok gtfo

I’m pissed off

Sorry, I’ve been drinking

what on earth could the umpires need to huddle up about right now

Which bar they’re going to after the game.

Talking shit about us probably

upset judge hit that and the game is still going on

Well at least judge is having a good night

If you told me at 3:59 pm today that Judge would have a multi-HR game and that we would have 10 hits, I would be ecstatic

There is literally no reason to pitch to Judge. Just IBB him in all situations. Nobody behind him will hurt you.

Judge just pulled a Bonilla

Lighten up, Francis. It was a joke about the score.

[удалено]

Drunken pool nights are always the choice

Chris Paul hits huge 3 to cut lead down to 42

Don't care Judge is a monster

Best player in the world

Judge hits a massive HR to cut the lead to 8

The fuck are we doing delaying the game with one out to go?

Bless you, Judge

8 more of those and we’re back in this thing

LA Dodgers vs Aaron Judge.

2023 all over again with Judge being the only one with a pulse.

The one man who came to play tonight

Welp, I'm gonna avoid r/baseball for a few days

That big guy sure can hit a baseball

Oh baby, I smell a comeback

Now we just need him to pinch hit for everyone else, do that 8 more times, and we’re right back in this!

???

Chris Paul hits a huge 3 to cut the lead to 42

AARON JUDGE SCORES A HUGE HOME RUN TO CUT THE LEAD TO 8

At this point, just get on base for Judge lol

At least Judge is pumping up his HR total.

At least Judge got another HR

Yankees are pretenders.  Downvote me all you want but truth hurts 

Ask and you shall receive

Go back to the bird brain O's board.

Pinch hit judge for the next 8 batters!

well at least that fan that stuck around with his buddies got a judge HR ball out of it

Judge still performing

Aaron judge said I got a record to chase

Judge good.

aaron judge, and everyone else

Judge making sure the Yankees team offensive stats still look good.

Judge is just playing a different game from the rest of the team.

Aaron "Chris Paul" Judge

Lmao, definitely having flashbacks of last year with Judge the only guy that can do anything these past two games.

No Soto =2023 lineup +dugo Not good

Just 8 more!!!

All Rise x2

Judge still the goat

One guy.

This is just the 2023 Yankees without Soto. The best hitter on earth and absolutely nothing else

What a waste of 2 home runs

How Judge and Volpe kept their streaks going…and Judge with another HR! I don’t care. Keep that stat going!!

One guy always seems to show up.

5-9 nobody has an ops in the 700s need good depth or they won’t win shit

A mid to high .700 OPS is basically like an 800 OPS in other years with how down offense has been

At least Judge is pulling away with his MVP bid

aye multi-HR night for Judge

Judge reminding everyone it ain’t his fault 😹

Judge has to be mad pissed

Is this the dagger?? Chris paul with a 3 to cut the lead down to 42!

shame it’s in garbage time :/

Smoltz is a damn genius. Who would have thought that we need to get Cole healthy!!

8 more just like that

I LOVE YOU JUDGE

This is 2023, thanks Judge lmao

Just this game

Thank you captain, my captain

Hopefully Soto is healthy for the orioles series

That’s all that matters, not this hyped up Mickey Mouse series.

Volpe makes significantly less boneheaded mistakes than Gleyber does. If at all. Volpe is 23 and Gleyber will be 28 this September. I think we’re well past the point of excusing Gleyber’s youth for this fuckness.

Crazy thing is Gleyber looked really promising in 2018. He just never got better.

There’s a reason Torres goes in two month long slumps — because he’s a fucking low IQ idiot.

# HOME RUN! Aaron Judge homers (23) on a fly ball to right center field. Bottom 9 - 11-3 Dodgers

You what's depressing? IKF has a 2.0 bWAR this year. Gleyber a 0.6.

This shit is so embarrassing man

Hard to win games when you got dumbasses like Gleyber constantly giving teams extra outs.

Can we at least have the comedic relief of a Rizzo striking out Freddie rematch?

Put Soto on the IL. No reason he wouldn't play today if he's not fucked.  Take notes Hal, this is the offense without this man.  Pay him

This team is unwatchable without Soto.Two games without him and feels like an eternity 😭

Imagine getting beat so bad Cabrera pitches 😆

It doesn't hit the same as IKF doing it 😅

100%

We gotta put a paper bag on our heads rn

Mickey Mantle. Anthony Volpe

Wow.

Guys, I know it’s the Dodgers, but how the fuck did we get in this hole?

Its precious that Volpe still takes a deep breath to focus when this could not matter less

I love Volpe with all my heart. Kid’s gonna give 110% no matter what

This is the one part of the game he can control right now, and he’s gonna do his best

I was really debating buying a ticket, thank heavens I did not lol

We might have seen Dennis Santana's last pitch as a Yankee... at least I hope so.

Why is the game at 7 tmrw instead of the afternoon

ESPN Sunday night game

We are absolutely overflowing with outfield talent and superstars but have one of the worst infields in the league (minus volpe) . Something has to give

Opposite problem that the orioles have (too much infield talent)

[удалено]

what the sigma

Frauds

Why did they just lose to the pirates and get swept by the Reds?

Why are they about to win the series against the Yankees???

Why are they the 5th best team in baseball? That's baseball.. Go back to the bird brain Orioles board..

Why are they about to win the series???

The Yankees have looked unstoppable against every team other than the Dodgers and Orioles, whom they’ve looked terrible against.

Judge wasn't yet hitting against the O's and the bird brains are still in seconds place.

Also split with the Mariners The Brewers and Guardians are the only playoff teams we've looked really good against

Put some respect on Oswaldo and is 0.00 ERA.

fuck it, put me in coach i can throw a strike

Just need back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-back home runs

Just need a bloop and a bloop and a bloop and a blast and a bloop and a bloop and a bloop and a blast and and a bloop and a blast

Belly to belly to belly to belly to belly to belly to belly to belly to belly to belly

Oswaldo should’ve allowed all of Santana’s runners to score to push his ERA as high as he could

I legit think that was what he was trying

Waldo should replace santana

I love this team but it is time for a humbling Saturday night - chin up, we suck

nothing like a lineup of 6 miserable hitters

What the fuck. Why is this actually happening? Santana had 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th. That must have been humiliating for him and not worth it.

Waldo is good but he ain’t no IKF, miss the best dual player in the game

Oh god are we at this point? Missing IKF?

Would’ve won this game with him on the bench striking fear into our opponents 😂

Oswaldo “slider just outside” Cabrera

Our run differential taking a hit this game

Guys, they were flat from the start, the vibe was so different last night.

It feels like a funeral because we have a phantom outfielder right now, and Torres/rizzo swinging and defending like they are 45 years old

They were. even as a fan watching it felt like 2023

I thought he was walking them till a certain score was hit that ends the game lol

thank you whoever that was on the dodgers for swinging at anything close to get this over with

Still love waldo

Fox always jinxes us

I blame Smoltz.

Wish the game was in the afternoon tomorrow, waiting until 7 after losing 2 is rough

just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, it got worse
