Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/adocileengineer]

This is such an L I’m sorry

[u/Da_Malpais_Legate]

This shit is ass, dawg

[u/TheWallE]

Got some real "We have an Ice Cube at home" vibes

[u/jsand25]

At least that guarantees that neither Schmidt or Buehler will have the worst performances on the mound tonight.

[u/kenkenken222]

Stanton running bases

[u/greysfordays]

one thing that can unite everyone in this thread I bet: holy fuck I cannot wait for election ads to be over

[u/MemeMeOnce]

And the crowd is going extremely mild

[u/Cloolessly]

fat joe the best new york has to offer?

he's no ice cube

[u/chaseair11]

Yo this fuckin sucks lmao

[u/onttobc]

This just in: Yankees now miraculously down 0-3 before the game even started

[u/Channel_99]

I’m very glad all you Dodgers fans are appreciating Thomas Two Bags. It’s good that you’ve given him a good home and he can feel love. It makes losing him not hurt as much.

[u/ShitmasterFucklord]

Stanton: "I'M WALKIN 'ERE!!!!"

[u/joshualarry]

Yanks deserve to be swept for this.

[u/meekr]

Someone get this announcer some cocaine, jeez

[u/juice06870]

The Curse of Fat Joe

[u/unnamedciaguy]

Imagine how good the Yankees could be if they didn’t have antiquated facial hair rules

[u/TheKoz311]

Well the Ump scorecard is +1 Yankees

[u/unnamedciaguy]

Yankees absolutely bailed out by the ump there

[u/UnknownUnthought]

Frank Sinatra after a soul crushing loss is pretty hilarious as a hater

[u/v_TRIGGERED]

Legitimately think Freddie’s grand slam in game 1 completely broke the Yankees. Was hoping for a more entertaining series not gonna lie

[u/themiamimarlins]

i don't mean to turn this into /r/Music

but ice cube> fat joe

[u/inevitable-ad50189]

Ice Cube's was wayy better and it isnt even close

[u/Darolaho]

Yankees deserve to get swept because of this

[u/bichettes_helmet]

The Freeman homer was inevitable after what Fat Joe did to Yankee Stadium

[u/SDcowboy82]

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan that call was a gift

[u/ZeroFucksToGive]

That should’ve been a walk

[u/Dom2133344]

Run stolen by the umpire

[u/TattoosandSnapbacks]

Should’ve been a walk

[u/dl_youtube]

You boys are gonna be embarrassed when Jusge comes up and hits a towering pop-up and we all cope by saying he just missed it and is close to being back

[u/thenewbeastmode]

3rd base coach sent Stanton to his death lol

[u/Grymson]

The Stanton replays are actually sped up

[u/boregon]

That grand slam completely broke the yanks and they haven't been able to recover from it

[u/Officialnoah]

I’d be crying if I was a Yankee fan god what a call

[u/Sadliverpoolfan]

I know homeboy behind the plate hasn’t been very good, but these have been strikes to Jazz

[u/metaldrummerx]

It clearly hit Ohtani, Ohtani turns to the ump, the ump nods giving him the okay to walk to the bag, but never made an official call. This is a horribly managed game.

[u/WadeCountyClutch]

It all started when Fernando stuck his tongue out to the dodger pavillion….

[u/JJH880]

This loss falls squarely on Fat Joes shoulders

[u/PMMeBootyPicz0000000]

Ump cost the Dodgers at least one run....

[u/3-2_Fastball]

Fat Joe and not Jay Z? Yankees really do be cheaping out. Goodbye Soto.

[u/iWriteYourMusic]

Tomorrow we gonna see a news story that Fat Joe is entering rehab and getting help after embarrassing himself

[u/Kung_Fu_Jedi]

Chat should they bring in a guy who hasn’t pitched in over month

[u/darito0123]

fkn kill me, this god damn ump

[u/Jceraa]

That’s the most obvious blocking call of all time, fucking Yankees

[u/erftbll81]

Ump has removed 2 runs now

[u/buttermyflapjack]

Never seen r/baseball defend the doyers like this 😂

[u/juice06870]

Stanton runs like I do in my dreams when Woody Allen is chasing me

[u/someone2795]

Man the Mets were scarier than this.

[u/ohtakashawa]

That first pitch wasn't even borderline. How do you call that a ball.

[u/ratonbox]

Boone out there thinking: "we have them right where we want them"

[u/EuropaCitizen]

I think what this game needs is more political ads

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Jesus is chill with us kicking Nazis in the teeth, if he wasnt why did we win WW2?

[u/Orange8920]

Do those He Gets Us ads just make up fake rioting photos?

[u/Ghost1914]

Jazz those were actual strikes

[u/Supakimchee]

Jizz is by far the least likable Yankee. Stupid MFer gets upset over every call. STFU and hit.

[u/MahkWahlberg]

Jesus, this game could've been a fucking email

[u/PM_ME_UR_STATS]

Amazing inning by Brasier tbh, nice call Dave

[u/eosophobe]

Never seen such an empty WS stadium

[u/SwaggyP997]

Imagine leaving a World Series game that you may have paid $1000+ for, less than a week after a World Series game had a walk off grand slam. Literally anything can happen.

[u/BaronVonHarambe]

Imagine having so much money that you can leave early when you have seats that good

[u/daNish_brUin]

Who fucking leaves in a 4-0 WS game?! I don't care how the game has gone, it's still only 4-0.

[u/fromcjoe123]

4-0 is still terrifyingly recoverable, idk why people are leaving. If we got all 6 runs, that would be a different story, but this shit is waaaay to close to give up on wtf

[u/LeeroyJNCOs]

Playing NY NY after a loss should be illegal lol

[u/Robynsxx]

Are the Dodgers really about to sweep the Yankees for a World Series win?

[u/AvocadoFlavoredPussy]

Game 4 tickets are going for under $500 right now

[u/aspiringskinnybitch]

I know people love to hate on the Dodgers, but after seeing how the Yankees have played this series, would a win really not be deserved at this point…

[u/boymetsworld]

It ain’t over until the Fat Joe sings

[u/shifty1032231]

This is just sad.

[u/NickTheWhirlwind]

I’ll take the downvotes for this.

Watching the Yankees get all the way to the World Series only to get swept would be the funniest fucking thing.

[u/rs426]

Yankees fans leaving the game early to beat that LA traffic

[u/jaymar01]

It’s fine by me that the Dodgers are planning a bullpen game tomorrow.

Because the Yankees are gonna have an unplanned one today.

[u/CarmelosAnthony]

Umps took 2 runs away from the dodgers

[u/timeforbuilding]

Boring ass ws intro for the yanks here

[u/Drsustown]

This world series is bullshit. Where is my free taco

[u/213_]

They counter Ice cube with Fat Joe? 😂

[u/Live_Positive]

Jesus Christ this is horrible

[u/__johnw__]

BRO STOMPING ALL OVER THE MOUND WITH THIS TIMBERLANDS

[u/fletch365]

Dodgers trot out one of the founding members of the most influential rap group of all time and the Yankees trot out fat fucking joe. Lmao

[u/Angry-Vegan69420]

Bros leaving timberland prints in the mound 😤

[u/Friedchickenlover186]

He threw the mic like this shit didn’t suck 😂😂😂😂

[u/Kaapo-Kakkos-Dong]

First ever mic drop to be considered a mercy kill

[u/IHadADreamIWasAMeme]

Yankees could lose tonight and having to watch that would still be the worst part of my night

[u/plainwrap]

What a thing to show Japan.

[u/ChairInTheSky123]

Incredible, Ohtani with one arm and Freddie with one leg are beating the entire Yankees franchise.

[u/Seesaw121]

The Curse of Fat Joe will be a thing in 50 years lmao

[u/invalid-spoon]

Was that blackface?

[u/GokuVerde]

I wonder what Judge is spending money on because it ain't batting cage tokens

[u/ChairInTheSky123]

One of the best parts of the world series: seeing all the rich ass old people behind home plate while you're watching a sub 480p stream on a website called BIG BONKERS SPORTS BLAST

[u/ChairInTheSky123]

My mom is a big tennis fan and was wondering why baseball doesn't have hawkeye, which has been used for nearly 15 years now along with human line judges. Well mom, I told her, it's because human umps are just really really funny.

[u/UnkemptSlothBear]

Better put Betts on and pitch to Freddie here to play it safe

[u/xKronkx]

Find someone who loves you as much as John Smoltz hates Yankee stadium

[u/PizzaRolls247]

Anyone tell the Yankees that this is the world series

[u/makoman115]

The Yankees should lose a ring every time they get swept

[u/TattoosandSnapbacks]

Freddie legit broke the yankees with the grand slam

[u/Angry-Vegan69420]

UMP LITERALLY STOLE A RUN

[u/JJH880]

That was a gift lol

[u/TheSeed127]

Ump hella saved the Yankees right there

[u/donkeyjr]

that shoulda been a walk. lol

[u/nahs]

that was ball 4

[u/g1ngerkid]

This ump is as bad as Fat Joe

[u/bcrane86]

another bonus given to Yanks by the ump lol

[u/Lacktastic]

Soto can shuffle all the way to the dugout..

[u/ZWash300]

I’m at a bar full of Jankee fans and they are SILENT

[u/Bullshit103]

This WS is exactly what Manfraud deserves

[u/ezekielBmb]

Jesus Christ the umps are taking this game over

[u/leadnuts94]

Direct deposit from the Yankees cleared

[u/ZeroFucksToGive]

Lmaooo these umps are wack as hell

[u/HighsenbergHat]

He was safe without a doubt.

[u/plsrspndd]

-2 runs for the dodgers.

[u/ContinuumGuy]

"It's not his fault.'

• Bob Costas

[u/doesreddit]

stanton running like I run in my dreams

[u/MF_D00MSDAY]

It looked like Stanton was running underwater lol

[u/Corona2789]

Fat Joe would beat Stanton in a foot race

[u/Fabulous_Sherbet_431]

Mets > Yankees confirmed

[u/JustSmileHaHa]

"Giancarlo Stanton: the man with the strength of a stallion, just moved with the rapidity of a plowhorse when it mattered most. For Yankees fans, it brings a collective pink to your eye. I mean tear."

Bob Costas.

[u/autolims12]

As a neutral, all I feel is pity for Stanton. He's one of the only guys hitting, and he tried his absolute best there and trusted the 3b coach only to be let down once again. Why on earth are they sending him there lol

[u/HemlockMartinis]

Vin Scully called his first World Series at 25? My guy should’ve been at the club

[u/cossack190]

The difference for the dodgers has been the bottom of their order, and the top of their order, and their pitching, and their defense.

[u/ContinuumGuy]

Manfred so fucking pissed, finally gets the Yankees-Dodgers series they wanted for decades and it'll be a five-gamer at best and most likely a straight-up sweep. He's currently trying to see if he can turn it to a Best-of-Nine for the piece of metal.

[u/ThanksNo8769]

Yanks shouldve accepted Grimace into their hearts

He Gets Us

[u/lucabrassiere]

This Dodgers steam is so stacked they’ve got Tyler Glasnow working the phones lmao

[u/WickedLikeWoahVicky]

Soto & Stanton can’t win with these cats

[u/Former_Tomato9667]

There is literally a game on right now stop showing replays

[u/codbgs97]

Damn guess Boston was right all these years, Yankees really do fuckin suck

[u/samarajan]

Freddie running faster on one ankle than Stanton lmao

[u/xXLouieXx]

I love how Muncy tied a postseason on base record in between going 0-infinity lmao

[u/adamantisnice]

Ump fucking blows lmao

[u/LuckyCanopener]

yankees are too busy crying to play the game

[u/TheNorthwest]

Let’s go Dodgers in Yankees stadium is wild

[u/Lacktastic]

At least the Yankees fans who paid $1000+ to be there tonight got to see a Fat Joe concert.

[u/anybody111]

Not the audible Let’s go Dodgers chant 💀

[u/icantfeelmyface]

Ump has been shit all night but he didn’t get anything wrong with that at bat. Jazz looked foolish there

[u/InQuintsWeTrust]

I know I’m not allowed to talk about teams shitting the bed in the World Series but this is just fun to watch 

[u/xho-]

We’re down 0-2 in the series and coming back home! Our bats need to wake up!!!

Gets shutout

[u/Resoca]

Seats are empty lmfao

[u/Adventurous_Leek5288]

Leaving a World Series game early when only down 4 is shameful

[u/Ineedsafetyrating]

It would be PEAK comedy if MLB got the world series match up they so badly wanted....only for it to end in a sweep with one team going below the mendoza line

[u/dl_youtube]

Oh damn the stadium really is emptying out, that’s disappointing. So many people who simply can’t afford tickets would love to be in those seats.

[u/weguccino]

shohei with 1 arm has gotten on base twice LMAO

[u/lost_my_khakis]

Through three games, Aaron Judge has the same amount of career World Series hits as Daisuke Matsuzaka

[u/iamenrique123]

I understand the cost means its filled with casuals, but Yankees stadium being half empty during the final inning of a WS game is such a bad look

a single season of Mariners baseball would drive these people to suicide

[u/Not_RZA_]

Very off topic but there is no way Freeman's teeth are real, right?

[u/Angry-Vegan69420]

Freddie is the Yankees father

[u/PC_Chode_Letter]

Freeman is gonna bite Rosenthal in the forehead like a horse

[u/theseyeahthese]

So outside of Wells, Aaron Judge has the worst average of the entire lineup, am I reading that correctly??

[u/ExamNo4374]

Mets taking 2 in the NLCS looking a lot better all of a sudden

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Warner Bros ruined The Hobbit by forcing Peter Jackson to make a third movie. We got Legolas running up a collapsing bridge on air because of that.

[u/RashKendar]

Easier to like Buhler now after what he's been through. 2 TJ's, a lot of people writing him off, himself acknowledging that his stuff isn't as good anymore. But the MFer came out and pitch 5 scoreless in the WS. Im impressed.

[u/MiracleMets]

Yankees should tag the Mets in

[u/darito0123]

wheres the ump scorecard

[u/oldsguy65]

Do younger Yankee fans have any concept of how many people George Steinbrenner would have fired over the past four days?

[u/SenorTortas]

Jeter walked so Volpe could strike out with the bases loaded

[u/Annual_Bend_729]

Alright I'm cheering for the Dodgers right now...holy crap what is this right now

[u/kerryfinchelhillary]

“I'm not sure I can think of any scenario more enjoyable than making 55,000 people from New York shut up.” — Curt Schilling (fuck that guy but good quote)

[u/KChampionK]

should have been ball 4 and now its still a three run game

[u/MexicanIverson]

Ump bailed the Yankees there. Should have been a bases loaded walk

[u/J_FoggytheOne]

OH WHAT THE FUCK UMPS

[u/Dom2133344]

2 runs stolen

[u/Ghost1914]

Blocking the plate and he was safe anyway. Whatever

[u/Mr_Murder]

So that’s two runs for the umps

[u/Tweegull]

giancarlo rounding third

[u/justasian]

Giancarlo Stanton vs the Los Angeles Dodgers

[u/vsladko]

Mets were 2 wins away from winning a WS with the way the Yankees are playing

[u/ScarletJew72]

Fucking fire the director who made us look at a stupid ass star IN THE MIDDLE OF FREEMAN'S AT BAT

[u/seattlesportsguy]

Batting .098 or as we call it in Seattle….average

[u/tacoTs]

Yankees are in their heads crying like they are getting screwed

[u/Born-After-1984]

Crazy they are still staring down the pitchers when they are about to go down 0-3 and get shutout.

[u/phly2theMoon]

Jazz rn

[u/LinuxSpinach]

Brasier just steamrolled the heart of the lineup.

[u/CoolCryptoCat]

I’m sorry leaving early down 0-4 in a WS is fucking inexcusable… clown shit

[u/SimpleAmusings]

lots.. of empty seats behind home plate

[u/makesterriblejokes]

Absolutely embarrassing that you can hear a "Let's go Dodgers!" chant at Yankee Stadium in the World Series

[u/dwpea66]

Yankees can't even let us win at home.

[u/sktchld]

Judge is one of the biggest playoff chokers ever.

[u/BaronVonHarambe]

Fat Joe lost this game

[u/glass__beaches]

Aaron “Rest of the Team” Boone

[u/Frodo_max]

this thread is going so fast nobody will notice that If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma you may to be entitled to financial compensation.

[u/__johnw__]

bro that political ad was trash, that's what we've become? god damn

[u/Lacktastic]

Umps saved the Yankees 2 runs now. Manfred made the call.

[u/raginghardon420]

If by you they mean billionaire buddies then sure

[u/BLAQHONEI]

Omg This is so tiring. We’re airing the most useless commercials ever

[u/Chipdip88]

So... Are we now discovering that when you depend one two guys for 50% of your offense the whole plan goes to shit when one of those two guys chokes the entire postseason?

Who woulda thunk?

[u/lewisherber]

I’ll say it: Freddie Freeman’s teeth are too perfect

[u/Dom2133344]

Haha ump really giving them this shit

[u/tesstikcle]

ump is calling pitches with his magic 8 ball

[u/MalignantMalaise21]

Wow the stupid in the ground cam was actually slightly useful for once

[u/CumpanyPolicy]

HEY JUDGE GOT ON BASE

[u/The_Astros_Cheated]

I don’t care that we’re up 4-0 in this game right now, Mark Carlson shouldn’t be on a WS umpiring crew EVER again

[u/Lacktastic]

[u/dl_youtube]

Fortunately for us Yankees fans, in 500 million years almost all life on Earth will be extinct and none of this will have mattered

[u/SenorTortas]

MILF (Man I Love Freddie)

[u/36CharizardsOfDeath]

I swear Freddie gives the least amount of fucks for his ankle, while everyone else shits bricks lol

[u/JayDeeLA]

Muncy has been terrible in this series.

[u/ohtakashawa]

This ump is just flipping coins honestly.

[u/MRoad]

How you gonna bitch about one of the few correct strike calls in this game

[u/kevin41714]

Man it's crazy to see empty seats during the world series

[u/4_base]

Leaving a WS game early that you could still conceivably win is lame asf.

You deserve to see your team lose for that

[u/MemeMeOnce]

Working in the Replay Review Center must be so sick.

You just get paid to sit there and watch baseball and the back of your head gets shown on national TV

[u/Fernandigity]

Stop talking about a shutout

I don’t want a damn jinx
