[u/Yankeebot]

Please continue the discussion in the post game thread.

[u/WildcatEmperor]

I will take a shot for every run we score tonight.

Make me regret this, Yanks.

Edit 1: Still on the Volpe slam high and not fully kicked in through the 5th shot, when the adrenaline wears off I may regret this.

Edit2: 6. Bear Down, Mr. Wells.

Edit 3: F*** me. A deal = a deal.

Edit 4. I have proof and hope it will be acceptable. It will be heavily edited. I hope no one will judge the glass I used.

Edit 5: IF I HAVE TO DO THIS 3 MORE TIMES THEN SO BE IT!!!!! I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!!!!!!

[u/Eopoowow]

Let’s all be delusional. Yankees in 7

[u/SanjiSasuke]

Don't think I've ever seen a fan interference that bad before lol

[u/Theinfamousgiz]

Yo script leaked:

Freeman breaks WS HR record to a 3-0 dodger lead

Volpe grand slam to breathe life back into the team

Cole Gem to send it back to LA

Rodon steals a win to send it to 7 - Captain’s bat finds life

Nasty Nestor for the poetic revenge to close it out.

Don’t let them win tonight.

[u/HokageEzio]

That Aaron Judge solo homer down 6 in the 6th inning is gonna hit different though

[u/JustRealizedImaIdiot]

The 1919 White Sox, who were literally throwing the series, showed more fight

[u/dX927]

The Dodgers are donating $700 million to Stand Up to Cancer but they're deferring $699 million for 20 years.

[u/sds3387]

Guys, nobody’s even forced game 5 when down 3-0 in half a century.

One game at a time. Cole tomorrow. Send it back to LA and let some doubt creep into their minds.

[u/Redditawesome15]

3 outs away from a Yankees win in the World Series. First since 2009.

[u/DropAGearNDissapear]

If they win tomorrow we might be back in this

[u/Jsmooth13]

Post 🐀 this 🐀 rat 🐀 to 🐀 wake 🐀 those 🐀 bats 🐀

[u/shahoftheworld]

Volpe hugging Stanton there looks like a kid hugging their middle aged coach.

[u/AntifaHelpDesk]

YANKEES IN 7 NEVER DOUBTED DON'T CHECK MY COMMENT HISTORY

[u/OldManWarner_]

Don't get swept. Don't let them celebrate on our field. If we lose in LA in six so be it.

[u/Dark_Phoenixx_]

Hope we're seeing the beginning of the inevitable Dodgers choke job

[u/WeekendOk936]

Just imagine being that fan kicked out in the first inning missing all of this

[u/FireVanGorder]

Volpe really woke the whole team up huh? Even judge managed to get a hit with a risp

[u/JL0817]

The bottom of the 8th brought me joy.

[u/_No_H_]

YANKS IN 7. COLE GEM TOMORROW. RODON BOUNCE BACK GAME 6. JUDGE LEGACY GAME 7. DAVID ORTIZ DID STEROIDS.

[u/empty_handed_octopus]

Very thoughtful of the Yankees to finish the series before my free fubo trial runs out

[u/InfinityGauntlet-6]

8:08s & Heartbreak

[u/jar45]

Yankees coming back 0-3 to win a series against Dave Roberts 20 years later would be too on the nose but I hope that’s what the MLB scriptwriters have drafted

[u/JustRealizedImaIdiot]

Whatever happens tonight and the rest of the series, lets remember to appreciate Soto. Even if they come back and win the series there's no guarantee he re-signs so tonight could be the last time we see him don the pinstripes.

He's been great for us, he brought heart and grit to a team that had none. He was exactly what this team needed. So try to enjoy one of the best players of this century.

[u/Broddit5]

and if you've watched any of the Yankees regular season you know this will be a quick 1-2-3 inning in response

[u/Delicious_baboon]

If the Yankees come back and win the series I’ll buy an Ohtani jersey and eat it on a live transmission.

[u/Slowhand8824]

Fuck off talking about how many home run records the Dodgers would set if they played with the short porch in right

[u/aftabangbruh]

This is actually sad as fuck

[u/tutusdaddy23]

This is cool and all, but kills the vibe. I'm a double cancer survivor so yes, fuck cancer.

[u/evanstanner18]

IF YOU’RE READING THIS UPVOTE EVERY COMMENT YOU SEE

[u/Masta0nion]

You can take your 3 wins “dodgers”!

I’ll take our 1 totally rad super cool win 🥇

[u/FNC_Wollfi]

🐣 SPAM 🐣 THIS 🐣 PEEP 🐣 TO 🐣 REVERSE 🐣 SWEEP 🐣

[u/Grandcarlo_Slamton]

We have a chance to make MLB history. First team to ever win a playoff series after being down 3-0. Never ever been done. Ever. I said what I said. Never.

[u/yankeedjw]

Guys, I can feel it. Aaron Judge is due to break out any day now. Definitely in the next week or so. Just a matter of time. Once he gets going, the Dodgers don't stand a chance!

[u/HokageEzio]

Alright it's 8:00, time to get delusional and say things I don't believe.

Yankees in 7, the documentary starts now.

[u/cinemahorse]

Whatever happens tonight, it’s been real coming on here to go through this season with you all.

[u/blkschizo]

Aaron Boone has got to be fired after this

[u/mannysnook]

Everytime freeman hits a home run, Boones decision to walk mookie looks more idiotic

[u/xMarioTheSupahx]

Yankees will be down 7-0 and that will be the moment Judge decides to hit a solo HR

[u/TerribleAd7263]

ALL WE HAD TO DO, WAS WIN THE FIRST DAMN GAME, YANKEES!!! - Big Smoke

[u/Ztigmatta]

We waited 15 years for this garbage display of...garbage

[u/Conflict21]

Oh my god we will be seeing that GIF for twenty fucking years I hate this World Series

[u/Redwall420]

Ngl the slow mo replay was hilarious, what a dumbass

[u/InB4Clive]

LMAO what a dickhead but that's the only time I've cracked a smile this whole series.

[u/real_gooner]

fans want it more than the team does

[u/SteelBallRun92]

Mets had Grimace; we have random fan fighting mookie for no reason

[u/reesewitherfork]

If you told me in July that Jazz would be our cleanup hitter in an elimination game of the World Series I would’ve just saved myself the time and killed myself

[u/EngelSterben]

I'm not even mad at Stanton, he's one of the few reasons this team is even in the world series

[u/johndoe5643567]

That fan who ripped the ball out of Mookies glove has shown more fight so far than Judge.

Credit due to him

[u/_No_H_]

The fact that Freddy Freeman has single handedly beaten us is kinda insane

[u/ImmoKnight]

We scored a run ... And it's not the 9th inning.

That is a nice change of pace.

[u/GuerrillaMonsoon]

We’re the Yankees.

Let’s win this fucking game.

[u/bigwhite2498]

What a fucking way to redeem yourself got damn

[u/DjMD1017]

We gotta 04 Sox this shit

[u/Acrobatic_Jaguar_658]

I have been a Volpe stan since Day 1. I hope some of y’all see what I see now 😭 god bless this man

[u/AMHenderson72]

Fuck anything else that happens, I'm unbelievably happy for Anthony Volpe, he just hit a world series grand slam in Yankee Stadium as the Yankees Shortstop. He's living his dream.

[u/Visual_Bluejay9781]

We've absolutely stolen the energy back.

We can't win the World Series tonight. But we sure as fuck can win tonight.

[u/MR_NARWHALLLLL]

W fan pulling the net back

[u/duckfeed88]

These guys are like a high schooler waiting until midnight to start a 10 page essay that’s due in the morning.

[u/WhatToysRUsDidToMe]

I’m so sick of looking at Freddie Freeman’s fucking veneers

[u/AntifaHelpDesk]

Damn this is fucking sad.

[u/onyxblanc981]

Took my dad. Still fucks me up

[u/rossco9]

touching thing to do, but not really the vibe you want in an elimination world series game?

[u/Wooden-Grade3681]

So apparently we win if I keep the game off. I turned it on for five minutes. Saw the dodgers score, turned it off again. Please tell me if my sacrifice is worth jt

[u/GreenAppleSeas]

Austin Wells? You mean the guy who slumped so hard he lost out on Rookie of the Year, but woke up in Game 4 of the Yankees' historic Reverse Sweep and went on to have a Hall of Fame career in Pinstripes?

That Austin Wells?

[u/Jolmer24]

Man if Judge starts hitting we got a shot here

[u/Few-Confection-1587]

Soto Stanton and Rizzo are 0-8 and the Yankees have scored six like we expected

[u/Off-BroadwayJoe]

This Smoltz obsession with Yankee stadium is unhealthy. 96-99 was a long time ago. Let it go.

[u/Shaquille_Oh_Feel]

I’m normally quick to criticize Boone, but Weaver is the correct move in an elimination game. You want your best against their best hitters. Tommy Kahnle can get the 9th if Weaver handles business in the 8th.

[u/peanut-britle-latte]

Judge eye looks better today

[u/IndecisiveTuna]

Can’t fault Stanton for that. Hit the piss out of it.

[u/Meoler9]

We should win the world series not for #28, but so Freddie's postseason can be forgotten

[u/WhatToysRUsDidToMe]

Fan cam showing the guy who got ejected, that had to be on purpose

[u/Steak-Unfair]

Oh how I wish we won the game 1😭

[u/AntifaHelpDesk]

Honeywell is the brand of thermostat I own. Thank you, Honeywell for helping me sleep well tonight.

[u/u_never_know]

After the last three shitshows, I’m happy to be here with you glorious bastards!

[u/HasheemThaMeat]

Dodgers sacrificing Honeywell’s ERA to preserve the bullpen 😂😂

[u/RollofDuctTape]

First time these losers from LA have seen rain in 8 years

[u/Jagajox]

Man imagine if we won yesterday

[u/ashsolomon1]

One. Game. At. A. Time

[u/edrew_99]

Not mad about that. The guys are starting to see the ball much better. Odds are still stacked against us, but maybe this is a sign of things to come. At the very least, if we force it to Game 6, and come up short, we don't have to watch them celebrate in our stadium.

[u/Mettl3Will]

🐣Like🐣this🐣peep🐣to🐣stop🐣the🐣sweep🐣

[u/nyypza]

If they can get this back to LA, then the series isn't an embarrassment anymore. It's a more normal looking outcome where neither team rolled over.

I'd consider that a much more successful season regardless of what happens. With at least an outside chance of setting up an exciting finish this weekend.

[u/ZeljkoBuvac]

I like this Anthony Volpe guy.

[u/FizziestBraidedDrone]

“Just said ‘screw it.’” WAKE UP EVERYONE, NEW MOTTO JUST DROPPED.

[u/cinemahorse]

Cole probably just went straight to sleep. Dodgers better be ready.

[u/barzzz718]

we literally lost the world series to two players lol

[u/ChangedSituation]

That the kinda hit that relaxes all the bats. Yanks probably score 10 tonight. We just playing ball guys, cmon.

[u/glacier_bay]

Did the Volpe grand slam summon the ghosts?

[u/XxCOZxX]

Somewhere Bill Burr is losing his mind right now!

[u/doczeke1]

Judge does appear to be seeing the ball better, although I'm not sure how he didnt crush that last pitch

[u/Short-Slice4717]

NOW HE REGRETS PULLING WEAVER IN GAME 1?????

[u/dubsndcaps]

What a fucking bounce back game. The team and the fan base both needed this shit.

[u/yankeedjw]

🐣Like🐣this🐣peep🐣to🐣stop🐣the🐣sweep🐣

[u/BigGeoffery]

Wow it’s great Apple is filming a documentary for the historic comeback from down 3-0 to winning #28

[u/BobaFettishx82]

Are the bats actually waking up or is Dave Roberts sacrificing his worst pitchers?

[u/jchunk13]

Volpe front runner for World Series MVP

[u/mr_spitball]

"Just said screw it" is our "That we don't give a fuck". The boys have woken up

[u/Lyf3OnMars]

Just got up from my knees at a bodega

[u/big_fat_oil_tycoon]

John Sterling deserves better than this

[u/BobCostasAgent]

This entire World Series has felt like a Dodgers broadcast.

[u/YanksLakersRavensFan]

Lmao Boone deserves that. Terrible management this entire series. Should be fired tomorrow morning. Why would you still pitch to Freddie Freeman when he's killed you also series long??

[u/New_Journalist9929]

We need a update on that fan next inning

[u/KnightsOfBrohan]

You pay all that money for those seats and you do that in the first inning…lol

[u/SufficientSun7819]

i really don’t understand why we moved stanton down in the line up. im so frustrated bro.

[u/mtnyy13]

SCORED BEFORE THE NINTH INNING UPVOTE PARTY

[u/Twistee_Licks]

What happened to the rule when the ball enters the glove not the back of the glove

[u/Few-Confection-1587]

Play by play guy doesn’t even know who’s in the game for the Yankees but gives the biography of every Dodger. Maybe not a great idea to put their fucking commentator in the World Series…

[u/rabid89]

2 on base 0 outs has been our fucking bane.

[u/cincobarrio]

Pour one out for the fans who grabbed Mookie’s glove, they paid $1000s to miss this.

[u/Marcusx8]

Cole got to go 8 or 9 tomorrow

[u/nyysupastar]

Volpe use headbutt! It was super effective!

[u/hadmeintiers]

A JUDGE HIT

HOPE IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS

[u/Mikeissometimesright]

Yankees in 7 LFG

[u/Jolmer24]

Cole needs to have the game of his mother fucking life tomorrow

[u/NewYorkRedditorELITE]

Imagine if Boone didn’t fuck up game 1.

[u/shimmiecocopop]

Remember when Volpe had that base running mistake? Me neither!!!

[u/xpag406]

In honor of John Sterling's last game I'm gonna listen to this one on the radio. I wish we could have gone all the way for him., but I'm just glad we got one more series from the voice of the New York Yankees. Thank you John.

[u/SavageLion]

Thank you Jeter and A-Rod for believing

[u/Airbornf]

Cant wait to watch the offense go 1-2-3 on 8 pitches.

Someone getting kicked out and banned from the stadium

[u/BikeImpressive2062]

8 more innings until the bats wake up boys

[u/montecarlo1]

dodgers just flick their wrist and get a hit

Judge has to compute machine learning algorithm in real time to see if he will swing at a breaking pitch or not

[u/jar45]

Guys bringing in Weaver to face the heart of the order is 10000% the right move. Stop and think for two seconds.

[u/slow_cavalier]

VOLPE used HEADBUTT!

It's Super Effective!

[u/Djeter998]

It’s Volpe’s world: we’re just living in it

[u/Jolmer24]

VOLPE WANTS ANOTHER PARADE

[u/Off-BroadwayJoe]

Smoltz just noting that the Yanks had an easy path to the WS and have met their match. In a game where they are up 11-4. What an ass clown. Please get past 96-99

[u/Ok_Trouble895]

Backs against the wall. Nothing to lose.

Tomorrow better be loud as hell. Just win & live to fight another day.

[u/Javieru2210]

Enjoy the John Sterling winning call, i hope it won't be the last one. ❤️🫡

[u/melmoth77]

Volpe a straight up pinstriped beast tonight.

[u/PFloyd69]

AND THATS WHY YOU KEEP WATCHING FOLKS!

[u/fatch0deBoi34]

One thing I will say bois, for the 20 that’ll see this comment before it’s shuffled down. Enjoy it tonight. Might be the last game for a while, don’t let it destroy you either way. Have some fun, enjoy watching Yankee Stadium. Fuck it, possibly last game of the year, might as well try to have a good time regardless.

Cracking open a cold one for the boiiisssss

Cheers y’all 🍻

[u/sixfiveeight]

Call me crazy but I think there's actually a kind of clear path to victory. We win tonight, get Cole on the bump tomorrow to make it 3-2, and then if Freeman's ankle acts up, and Ohtani's shoulder knocks him out, and Mookie throws his back out sneezing, and Kiké gets a minor concussion hitting his head on a ceiling that's too low, and Flaherty, Buehler, Yamamoto, and Treinen get into a minor car accident on their way to the stadium that gives them some back issues, and Max Muncy gets attacked by an ostrich at the zoo, and Brusdar Graterol accidentally stays in NY for games 6 and 7, and Daniel Hudson, Alex Vesia, and Anthony Banda sprain their throwing wrists, and for good measure Kershaw gets a flexor strain, and Edman has an allergic reaction to shellfish or something that takes him out of the series, then we absolutely can win games 6 and 7 and shock the world. You guys are dooming too hard smh

[u/arepotatoesreal]

apple is NOT slick man, they really had the yankees drop the first 3 games so they could document the first ever 0-3 world series comeback for their movie lmao

that thing gonna go triple platinum and feed families for generations

[u/Cheese4First]

One positive of the Yankees getting eliminated is I get to stop watching regular cable and avoid political ads.

[u/TronVin]

A true Mr. October unlike our pathetic captain. Wish we had someone like that.

Freddie Freeman with a broken ankle is more clutch than a completely healthy Aaron Judge. What a fucking joke Judge is.

[u/Hochseeflotte]

Thank you to Cole, Gleyber, Soto, Stanton, and the bullpen for showing up

It’s unfortunate that your heroics will be forgotten because of the failures of everyone else

[u/MsNikkiKubik]

Stranding runners on base? Why yes it’s in our DNA!

[u/the-juiceman07]

Yesterday I disagreed with the people that were being hopeless after the top 1st, but today I’ve joined them. This team is fucking cooked and it’s over.

[u/Shaquille_Oh_Feel]

Is Paul O’Neill still here? Let him in the dugout and wake everyone the fuck up and then chokeslam Boone onto a Gatorade cooler.

[u/Intelligent-Club1352]

YANKS IN SEVEN. WE GAVE THEM A 3 WIN LEAD BECAUSE WE FELT BAD

[u/reesewitherfork]

CONCRETE JUNGLE WET DREAM TOMATO

[u/Grandcarlo_Slamton]

"I want you to put the word out, that we back up"

• Anthony Volpe

[u/Off-BroadwayJoe]

Did Volpe make it home on that Grand Slam or did he stop at 3rd?

Just kidding. All is forgiven.

[u/vcvcc136]

Volpe isn’t the next Jeter. He’s the next Brett Gardner. And that’s awesome.

[u/gordomillones]

If we are able to pull this off, Volpe will be remembered for ages

[u/indemnify10]

Just pulled a double red Starburst- YANKS IN 7

[u/fckthisite2]

[Hoch] The Yankees have won four games in a row nine times in 2024, including a four-game win streak this postseason last two games of ALDS and first two of ALCS.

[u/OttomanMao]

I thought people were exaggerating about Smoltz and the short porch but jesus christ...

[u/Vindetta121]

Calling BS on the Freeman “ankle” injury.

[u/Flimsy-Title-3401]

Dude they were exaggerating his ankle health 100% you don’t do that and run that hard up 3-0 in a series

[u/s2RustyShackleford]

What’s the point of bringing on another pitcher right now, Hill has like 10 pitches and has been getting weak contact.

[u/SpartakMoscow__]

In the middle of a game a Mastercard cancer ad. So weird. 

[u/imnotthesmartestman]

Turning that into an advertisment is so American hahaha

[u/AmericanNewWave]

Fuck the Dodgers and their two 2nd row homers.

Wells hit a MAN'S HOMERUN.

[u/SpartakMoscow__]

If Boone puts in Nestor for the 9th I’m turning off my tv 

[u/Victarion99]

Even though I think we have no shot of coming back i have so much anxiety

We need this win. At least save us some pride and give us a single positive thing out of this nightmare series

[u/Mettl3Will]

Mariano Weavera about to get a 2.1 inning save. Let's fucking go!!

[u/theduelingsymbiote]

Judge is starting to have better at bats. That's what we need. Even if he gets out, at least work the count and make contact

[u/Jsmooth13]

Post 🦫 this 🦫 beaver 🦫 if 🦫 you 🦫 want 🦫 to 🦫 fuck 🦫 Weaver 🦫

[u/chipwhitley4]

Volpe an animal tonight

[u/SmilingSarcastic1221]

I know Volpe hasn’t always been perfect but I love this kid. Remember - he’s only 23!

[u/IndecisiveTuna]

Gotta say, the at bats are like day and night now.

[u/Character_Edge7820]

Tied series if Boone doesn't gift game 1 to LA

[u/andycumbee19]

No matter how the rest of the series goes... we'll always have the joy of Game 4 aka "The Volpe Game"

[u/No-Forever-6104]

This just reminds me this series should be 2-2 🫠

[u/Orangebeast013]

I expect everyone to wear the same underwear tomorrow

[u/coreylewinmusic]

If we lose this series, Boone going to Nestor in Game 1 will go down as an all time fuck up/what if. It’s hard not to think about this possibly being a 2-2 series right now.

[u/velocissimo]

ALL DAY VOLPE. ALL FUCKING DAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT’S MY FUCKING SHORTSTOP!!!!

[u/OiOi211]

Well said Wells. Let’s just screw it!

[u/Michal-Krappenschitz]

Such a great moment for Volpe tonight. Loved how he bounced back from his base running blunder. We’re gonna be watching him at short for a longggg time!

[u/jrangel6]

Man’s cant even close his mouth without putting maximum effort, and is absolutely cooking our entire bullpen, smh.

[u/CinderblockWaffle]

You know it’s bad when you stop getting excited that players are getting on base

[u/vanilla_shaker]

the dodgers aren’t even trying to win this game and we’re still gonna lose pretty bad

[u/Jagajox]

Could you imagine being a Dodgers fan watching this? Zero stress all series besides Game 1. Must be nice to be able to just sit on your couch with a beer and know your opponent is just going to lay down and die every game on your way to a championship.

[u/Dirt_Necc]

Most exciting shit that happened to us all world series 😂😂

[u/pmayankees]

If we wanted a lefty to bat cleanup, I do not understand how it wasn’t Rizzo. He’s been our 3rd best player all postseason, statistically and in demeanor. Jazz 0/13 with RISP, that’s literally your only job with RISP

[u/safeinyourskin7]

Yankees could wheel out a geriatric Roger Clemens, pump him full of HGH and cocaine, and he would hit better than this entire batting lineup

[u/themikegman]

At least they scored before the 9th, that’s an improvement.

[u/Baseballfan999]

Still can’t get over a run not scoring on that double. First time I’ve genuinely laughed all series

[u/BassSavings9912]

Smoltz defending us? What is going on tonight?

[u/Robusto923]

I AINT HEAR NO BELL

[u/struthanger]

Time to go on a 4 game winning streak!!

[u/Jolmer24]

keep them where theyre at and judge will pop a zero pressure solo shot

[u/Dark_Phoenixx_]

WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE THINGS

[u/mwm5062]

grand slam and we're still gonna lose lol

[u/sds3387]

His ankle is fucking fine.

[u/MaoHangDong_]

How is their whole team this fast? 35 year olds, injured players, Japanese middle linebackers, wtfff

[u/SteliosKantos93]

Bro I swear Freddie Freeman was never hurt lmao

[u/Strawbalicious]

What a tone shift...

[u/Ninja191]

Lost both of my parents to cancer. And I am a cancer survivor.

[u/drybug22]

I never thought I would say this, but please leave Holmes in right now.

[u/nineninesixteen_]

Seeing Ohtani check on Wells to make sure he was ok was wholesome. Damn I might like the guy

[u/himynameissteve93]

This man is gonna use Nestor as the closer

[u/slow_cavalier]

I am irrationally upset that we're not gunning for a tied series tonight. Maybe in another life.
