No credit to Dodgers pitching?
Cred to get thru season, Get the bye, win two series then face a superior opponent and we fire the guy?
Granted, if he has taken them as far as reasonable, then maybe its time. ITs the yankees, and George is omnipresent and will fire him from beyond!
Mets had by far the largest payroll. Mendoza was flat out failing. I would not say they were come cinderella team with low expectations. With a payroll like that there are expectations! Yankees fans (im one) rarely get to enjoy anything but a series win.
sucks that Judge has MVP year and can't do it on the biggest stage. But Stanton? His post season has been great. What we all expected for some time now! LOL, expectations!!! Former MVP who has shit the bed before.
Felt bad for Volpe the other day. Announcer doing the "This is the kid that grew up and replaced Jeter"......Get real, Jeter retired 10 years ago!!!!! Expectations not realistic. Would have been great. Media been building up the Ohtani/Judge thing for hype. credit dodger pitching.
Its not just Judge thats not hitting. Good pitching or bad hitting?
Need other guys to step up. It happens!
Brian Doyle says hello!
For the 1978 World Series Champion New York Yankees, Doyle batted a team leading .438 with seven hits in sixteen at bats, one double, four runs scored and two RBIs.[13] In the post season overall, he had nine hits in 23 at bats. Compared to the 1978 regular season, in which he only had ten hits (.192 avg.) and six runs scored with no RBIs.He finished second to Bucky Dent in World Series Most Valuable Player Award balloting. Batting behind Doyle, the number nine hitter batted .417 with seven RBIs. The number eight and nine slots in the Yankees' batting order batted .400 with seven runs scored and nine RBIs.[14]

Boone is Cashman’s puppet he is going nowhere
Do people surrounding the MLB usually have a stick up their butts? People want to act like that fan pulled out a bat and beat the player with it. I found the whole thing funny but I never watch baseball so who cares what I think. You don't want fans to do that but the way people are acting is crazy to me.

You talking about the Mookie Betts thing?
Social media is about opinions and sharing them. To be clear, I only hang out out here but caught a replay on facebook or twitter and there was a lot to say.
Did you see the replay?
Let me frame, it, Betts jumps up and catches the ball. Ugly white man in yankee uni grabs his glove and is going to take the ball out. This is not like someone trying to catch the ball, he grabbed the mitt with one arm, while getting the ball with the other. He could of hurt his wrist. Mookie was in the air. His friend, is grabs mookies other hand as he is trying to secure the ball expecting to land. Part of a normal baseball play. Remember, this happens really quickly! It was like an orchestrated mugging. The faces on these guys were weird. The fans near them could not see this and were cheering. But if they had they might have had a different reaction. social media will have Yankee fans and Yankee haters (Plenty of them!) all chiming in.
I thought the incident was really weird but in a nasty way. They should not be allowed back in for the rest of the season. Mookie basically got mugged and they were trying to break the play. Bad sportsmanship and its rare. Most often a fan might be stupid instinctively going for the ball like what happend in Dodger stadium. Or Bartman, or the kid that got Jeters ball in 2009. Dumb, but not egregious. This one guy who grabbed Mookies mitt was not like that.
I read some comments and agree it was crazy on both sides of the issue.

You are right about social media being the extreme on both sides. I should probably mind my business since all I know about baseball is what I come by on social media.
Dodgers remind me of the Kobe/Shaq early 2000’s lakers. It’s gonna be next to impossible to beat them for 3-4 years

In the era of parity they will not.
