2025 New York Yankees Thread

Same answer though. I’ve uttered the phrase many times. “Geeze. Save some runs for the next game.” We’re just not playing like a team you can expect sweeps out of.

Sure in game 1. By all accounts you should have swept with your ace pitching game 3. So beating our 1 with your 10 is no where near beating your 1 with our 5 to prevent the sweep.

Think of it this way. Every LA fan thought the sweep was a done deal. Much like they think a WS repeat is a done deal. And they're not alone. Most pundits figured the Dodgers to win 125 games with the 2025 postseason. But baseball is fickle. Sometimes things don't happen the way they're 'supposed' to.

And I was mostly kidding on my comment

Watching TBS pregame, they were loving on Judge. Sure, who isn't. He's on pace for 58 homers and he's hitting .396. Now I don't expect him to hit that high when it's all said and done but .360 or .370 is possible. The last player to hit at least 55 homers and bat .360 or higher was Babe Ruth in 1921 (59 homers, .374). Now that's some serious throwback stuff there.

Another home run tonight. It’s incredible
.397 almost the middle of june

Boston wins the trade hands down. Hicks may be overpaid and isn't a starter by any means, but he's an effective reliever who is one of the hardest throwers in baseball. Kyle Harrison should help their rotation in the short term and long term, and Tibbs III is a ridiculously good prospect to add to an already stacked farm system.

And the kicker? They're only paying this year of his contract. The Giants are going to be paying the remaining eight years, and they're going to really regret it. I never saw the Devers contract as aging well, and now the Red Sox have a way out, and can still trade for a high-end player who's making money to lessen the hit they're taking offensively with the loss of Devers' bat.

I think we can put the idea of 125 wins to bed now. Not even sure about 100 wins. With all the injuries to the starting pitching they just need to focus on getting healthy down the stretch. Its amazing they're still clinging to first place. Right now the goal is to just make the playoffs. From there anything can happen.
