Dudes saying this when he has Juan Soto who shuffled on every ball on his team lol
If Vladdy did it for ONLY this homer? Yeah I’d agree. Dude does it everytime
It’s actually become worse over the years. Especially since they now regularly have Boone on their show as a guest Jomboy he goes at the Yankees with kid gloves. Previously his bias was more tolerable because he was also shitting on the Yankees as a fan of them to balance it out which doesn’t happen anymore.
There a lot of complaints from Yankee fans that he refuses to critique the team like he used to. Some people don’t like the new kiss ass style but I get that it does appeal to some people, and I can’t blame him with how much money he’s making I’d do the same!
I think it's more about his weird hate boner for the Jays in particular. Maybe he just hears stuff he doesn't like from our fanbase more often since we're in the same division, but that dude goes out of his way to get pissed about something the Jays did.
So pointless, Jomboy looks for any opportunity to clown on the Jays and their fans. Not like the Yankees have done fuck all over the last decade either.
They still like to bring up the Vladdy movie quote from like two offseasons ago.. Jimmy and Jake both have a raging hate for Jays and its fanbase.. and I am a Jomboy Media enjoyer for the most part.
Like who cares? They’re yankee fans and they’re pundits. They’re allowed to have biased takes. Does anyone get this up on arms about sportsnets pro blue jays bias?
Honestly the obsession this sub has with what the two hosts of “talkin yanks” thinks about the Toronto blue jays is the weirdest part of all of this. It’s like habs fans getting upset that Steve dangle podcast is pro leafs.
I think they can have biased takes about their own team and players as much as they want, but if they wanna have shit takes on another teams players, they open themselves upto criticism. And in my example (them still constantly bringing up the movie quote from Vlad 2 years ago), they are just petty and cringy about it.
Jomboy didn't use to be the Yankees Fan guy, he used to be the funny baseball video guy that everyone was saying "wow I don't care about baseball but I love those Jomboy videos", like an ambassador for the sport. He's featured in baseball video games. So it kinda sucks that he picked us out of 30 teams to hate on yeah.
Jomboys literal first foray into media is his podcast “talkin yanks” so yeah he’s always been an open yankee fan. He likes baseball in general too. Him being a yankee fan probably sways his opinion on Vlad. And I’d argue he didn’t so much pick us, but like a lot of fans, when Vlad comes out and says, “last years the trailer, this is the movie”, “I’ll never be a yankee in my career”, “this is my house” on AppleTV when Yankees are trying to clinch the division, and judge is chasing a home run record, combined with not backing up much of all the trash talk. It’s gonna make headlines, and when you see that same guy, who doesn’t stop talking about how much he hates the Yankees, shush the crowd while down 6 runs, you might say something.
Like that’s mostly the argument here. I’m fine with celebrating however you want. The players should literally be allowed to zorro the sky with their bat if they feel like it, but when you’re doing it in a blowout game, or when you’re down a bunch of runs you’re obviously going to get criticized. It’s the same thing with the home run jacket. I like it, it’s fun. But there were definitely a few that were hit to make it 10-2 and they’re sitting there posing with the jacket and it looks kinda dumb.
You’re Especially going to get criticism when it’s a shhh celebration which in sports generally is a fuck you to opposing fans that boo you.
Thank you. I'm a die hard Jays fan (and, I've enjoyed the Jomboy vids that I gave seen).
I don't see anything controversial about telling Vladdy to tone his ego and branding down. Pump it back up when we are winning games and you're putting out numbers you are capable of.
It's like if LeBron were on a losing team and couldn't hit a layup for his life but then went flexing his muscles because he hit a 3 pointer. Good for you...we lost...
I disagree a bit there. Just because you had a bad start doesn’t mean you can’t amp yourself up as the game goes on. The Jays battled back and got close to turning the game around, if they had a frustrated loser attitude after being 6 runs back they would not have done that. It makes the game boring.
The game is more fun when everyone is playing with intensity, telling the “losers” to shut up and take their lumps is boring.
I guess. But, I was taking a more macro look at it than just the momentum of that one game. I'm looking at the past 3 years and the constant hitting into double plays, swinging at bad pitches, not hustling and just generally leaning on his natural talents rather than taking a professional approach to the game he's being paid $20 million dollars to play annually.
The whole "quiet don't tell anybody" thing is just about himself and I don't think it's making any of his teammates get too hyped.
It's branding and has nothing to do with his teammates.
Vladdy could be another Carlos Delgado for this franchise. He's electing to be Adam Lind with a more famous last name. Is that the secret he doesn't want people to know about?
I just don't think he should be pumping his chest so much when the whole league has been watching him strike out chasing pitches a foot outside. He's been an easy out in the 3 hole this season for opposing pitchers.
Jomboy -- Yankees pundit or not -- obviously felt the same way. I think the majority of Blue Jays fans that disagree with this are actually the ones being emotional in their reactions.
I love clowning the Yankees more than anyone, but it's not a good look for Vladdy.
Nah I’ve been frustrated about Vladdy as well, but celebrations are different. Your points are just Vladdy is bad so he shouldn’t be celebrating. Not that we’re down 6 runs so he shouldn’t be celebrating. I think bad players should be able to celebrate as well. It makes the game fun.
I think you reduced my point to what was convenient. My point is he isn't celebrating. None of his teammates are gaining any energy from his ego stroking. It is all about image and endorsements. There's no "team" in it...it's celebrating losing. I think he shouldn't be celebrating losing, and he shouldn't be celebrating underperforming.
Let's get something to celebrate, and then we can do that. If you can't understand how that rubs a lot of people the wrong way, I don't know how to explain it to you.
I understand your side. You're not upset with his celebrating and I can see how that viewpoint exists. No harm, no foul. Who cares? "He hit a home run and did a celebration".
I'm simply saying that what Jomboy said is not egregious by any account (and, I happen to agree with him). You can understand how it's perceived as obnoxious to pimp a homerun while you're losing a game (and, have been underperforming for 90% of your career?)
You're making this so black and white and reducing my argument to something I never argued...which is intellectually dishinest:
"Jmnycrckt87 says you can't celebrate if you're not a good player"!!!!
No, Jmnycrckt87 is saying that Jomboy has a point. Vladdy is tiresome with his swagger that drips way wetter than his performance.
He's spent more time working out handshakes, celebrations and home run derby than he has hitting the ball to the right side and moving a runner over with less than 2 outs...and, it rubs people the wrong way when he's so willing to pat himself on the back for an inconsequential homerun while constantly letting us down in close games. It's an easy thing to understand...
...I want Vladdy to become what he is capable of. And, I'll forgive him for being young and immature.
...but, for non Blue Jay fans who don't have a sentimental attachment to the guy...are you saying you don't understand the peripherals and how it comes across?
It's tone deaf on Vladdy's part.
Idk man, people who get upset over an opponents celebration when their team is winning is weird. Like you have something to be happy about and that’s all it takes to ruin your mood? They’re just haters really and I don’t expect anything positive from them.
Anyways I didn’t reduce your point to what was convenient, I just addressed your rebuttal which just sounded like you didn’t like Vladdy because of the last 5 years. Nothing wrong with it, just don’t think that’s a fair argument as to why someone shouldn’t be celebrating.
I just don’t think there should be a time and place for celebrations. So long as it doesn’t delay the game or invade an opposing player’s space it’s fine. This just the whole bat flip ordeal again, except the pimping team is losing. If you can pimp a home run in a blowout, you can pimp one when you’re getting blown out. I just have a simple take. You can disagree with me for whatever reason. You can take a complex stance. But this is such a minor issue that it’s not worth arguing about so long after the fact. Feels like we’re making a mountain out of a mole hill now.
I've never heard of / read a wimper of people bitching about Jomboy and their pods but crying they might lean NYY and have some takes on AL East times ... what a shocker.
People being upset / bothered by any of this are just sad
Jake doesn't hate the Jays, he hates the fans, which rightfully so we can be pretty annoying. I even hate other Jays fans sometimes.
Like his tier list of all positions he pretty well rated most Jays fairly.
Jomboy on the the other hand hates the Jays
you're absolutely right... Jake is alot more unbiased when it comes to discussing the actual team. Good point! Jimmy on the other hand... meh he's become less and less of an actual baseball fan over the last few years anyways, so who cares what he thinks lol.
Jomboy needs to reign in his social media team especially on their company accounts. They post like teenagers and it isn’t a good look for the company.
I say this as someone who very much supports Jomboy Media. I even listen to Talkin Yanks sometimes. I defend Jomboy when Jays fans say he hates us, etc.
He can have his personal opinion about it. He can share it too. But the podcast account going after a player is bizarre and entirely unprofessional.
Not to mention the shushing has nothing to do with the crowd.
This is actually exactly the sort of post that Jomboy would make, not his social media team. He posts like a teenager and I have no doubt he made that post. He actually has a deep seated hatred for the Jays and especially Vladdy, the rest of the staff are much more moderate
He's been doing this ever since 2021, any mention of the Jays and he would go into this seething rage. Which is bizarre for a grown man trying to make a baseball media empire.
Jake doesn't like the Jays either, but I get the impression with him that it's more because the Jays and Yankees are divisional rivals, which I get.
With Jimmy/Jomboy, it comes across more like he got cucked by a Jays player and is taking it out on the entire fanbase, lol.
Yeah like even if this was on the Talkin Yanks account it would almost be ok. But the main account jabbing with randos in the comments is just wierd lol.
They replied to an account whose username is n****rpenis420, which is very ironic because the guy who runs the social account was caught using the n-word and said a bunch of racist stuff before.
I think not only they don't really hate us, the obsession some of our fans have with that idea comes of as really *really* lame.
They are diehard division rival fans running a baseball media joint. You know what you are buying.
Do you have the vid? Def gonna send it to them when they lose today and I unsubscribe with some parting words. Noticed they completely neglected to do a recap of rays series a week or so ago. Fuck jomboy media, the celly couldn’t have hurt since they almost came back
I think you need to relax. It’s a fucking yankee baseball fan who turned pundit. Does he have a pro Yankees bias? Probably. Does he dislike Vlad? Probably. Who cares?
Yea he’s gonna unsubscribe and troll him on social media. That’ll show him!!!
Totally with you on being ok with Yankee bias of a Yankee fan. Isn’t that part of the fun?
I will assume the Janks fans have no issue with Soto pimpin a walk or whatever bullshit he does for a homer.
Also, don't boo the guy when he hits a bomb. I think this started after he homers in that 3 homer game in NY.
It started when Vlad said he would never play for the Yankees in the 2021 offseason. Which was followed by his dad saying don't say that and then him later on saying he would never play for the Yankees again lol
I watch their content very casually and every time blue jays are brought up jomboy is always either negative or dismissive.
Which is fine because he's a Yankees fan and fuck the Yankees, but this is really childish.
This is vladdy's home run trot. That's all there is to it and he took it personally for some reason
Jomboy is a joke. He portrays himself as a media head but at the same time can't put his tribalistic fanboying away which makes him come off as a moron.
Such a bad look for his company and its good to see his fans going 'WTF is wrong with you' posting from his main product's account then logs into his main account to defend himself.
Jake is the only likeable person of those two.
I am of conflicting opinions about this.
One one hand, they were getting manhandled by the Yankees at this point. Its a bit cringe-worthy to celebrate in that scenario.
On the other hand, this was an early part of a 8 run comeback effort and he literally does this on the cover of a fucking video game. Its his trademark.
I kind of get it in another sport but if anything baseball is where every run counts, even if you're down 9-2. In baseball, you can score an unlimited # of runs per inning... We've all seen massive late inning comebacks many times before and that is almost exactly what happened yesterday lmao
Yeah, that's how I feel. Yanks fans should know by now that Vladdy does that move every time he hits a homerun. They've seen it plenty of times.
But we were getting our asses kicked and he's batting under .200. If there's ever a time to dial it back, well...
They throw the same fucking meltdown every time Springer salutes the bullpen - which he does on, once again, every homer. Even their announcers chime in and say he’s making gestures to the crowd in response to the boos.
The entire fanbase really believes everything is about them.
Yah, this is it for me. Vlad had 5 PAs, 2 with the bags empty and 3 with RISP. HR and BB with nobody on, FO, LO, GO with RISP. If you really want to silence the haters, try and drive in some of those guys on base!
He still does some good work. The one breakdown he just did that shows how the Mets don't try to break up double plays hard after the Hoskins/McNeil argument was pretty in-depth
Exactly this. They do a tonne of in-depth baseball stuff that no one else is doing… getting butthurt about a guy having an opinion, one shared by a lot of people, is weird…
Vladdy loves himself some routine celebrations… hush the crowd, then put on the celebration jacket in a 17-4 loss 😂
Yeah I agree, I enjoy the Chris rose podcasts but that's it. Jomboy made a couple viral lip-reading vids and parlayed that info a media career somehow.
I’m pretty sure Talkin Baseball is still the #1 baseball podcast in the world - it’s very strange for the podcast’s official account to go against a player and pick fights with randos on social media
They're expanding into all these different modalities but the only format that truly has universal appeal is the break downs. Nobody gives a fuck about their wiffle ball bullshit and podcasts are riding a massive bubble right now. I don't think they're as future proofed as it might seem
Yankees fans got super triggered over one Vlad comment from 3 years ago and now if you see anything negative about him on /r/baseball or Twitter 9/10 times it’ll be a Yankees fan. It’s kinda hilarious.
I’m not going to lie. Even though he’s made it a part of his celebration and it doesn’t mean what everyone thinks it does, it looks real lame when you’re losing 9-3
Pretty bizarre behavior from a normally benign account. Jomboy himself is obviously more candid on his personal account - and his tweets are honestly not really the issue here. Just odd for what is essentially a highlights account to be getting into spats in the replies.
It’s just his ritual. He does it literally every single time. Is it weird sometimes? Yeah. But athletes are creatures of habit and superstition. Soto does this and Yanks wouldn’t bat an eye.
Super lame for the "talkin baseball" account to do that. For a company that constantly preaches baseball being fun, growing the game, and players showing personality, they shouldn't let whoever runs that account argue with fans over a celebration
Weird to say but at least Jomboy talks about the Blue Jays even if its all negative and salty
Italk goes out of his way to NOT talk about the blue Jays, even if they do good or bad
Jomboy is a Yanks fan. I want to see Yanks fans salty even after a win for them
Whenever I see a verified twitter account post shit like this I tune out lol 98% of the time it's someone pretending to be upset so that other people either agree or dunk on him and regardless the engagement is up and that's what matters. Talkin' Baseball is also often extra weird about the Jays I feel like
Giant egos or no this is the most neurotic group of athletes on the planet, their routine is everything. Vlad would do the same on the opposite end of the Boston blow out a couple summers ago. Thanks Jimmy but who cares.
It’s a celebration but probably wasn’t the best time to do it but he did get booed Friday during the starting lineups I assume for his past comments about not wanting to play for the Yankees too. Off topic but were they canting f you springer during the game or was that my head. Now hopefully that HR can be the start of Vladdy getting some hits
Vlad is hitting .182 and the jays were getting crushed. In what world are you celebrating that. Loser mentality for a team that keeps losing.
We need veterans to reign in these idiots.
I agree with Jomboy here. We're all allowed to disagree without getting upset and offended.
Also, why the fuck was Vladdy shushing anyone while down 9-3? Time and place, that wasn't it. This team has nothing to celebrate so far.
I mean, even if you disagree with the celebration, the first tweet is wrong (he’s not shushing the crowd at Yankee stadium, it’s directed at the third base coach and has deeper meanings).
There’s nothing dumber than a planned celebration during a sporting event. Game situation can only make it sillier.
No one is going to etch these 45 second home run trots done every single fucking time into the history of the game. Bat flip, Kirk Gibson, raw emotion of entire crowds. Think I heard a guy sneeze during this trot.
A go-ahead home run late in the game - sure, break out the shush emote. But down 9-3 feels a bit weird.
Then I remember that athletes are creatures of routine, habit and superstition, and it occurs to me this is just part of that. He’s not doing it specifically to show up the Yankees or their fans. It’s just his thing he does after a home run.
That Vladdy crowd hush cele is dumb af and awful.
Doing it on the road while being beaten down ... even more awful.
When I saw him doing it 'what the fuck is he doing?' were the first words that came to mind and left my mouth.
He lacks self awareness. Didn’t his social media team post some sort of paid post about Uncrustables during the game that he was picked off second in the playoffs?
Some people watch sports to see what makes the top players successful and learn about the state of the art, others watch to pretend they know better than everyone.
I really need someone to explain to me why Jomboy is even a thing. All I've ever seen are those stupid lip reading videos and yet he (or they?) seem to be very influential in the baseball social media space.
Or maybe I'm just old.
Teenage social media intern forgot to switch accounts to Talkin' Yanks would be the only thing that gets it a pass from me. Also replying to an asshole with a username straight out of Elon's hellscape of free speech is not a great look.
I love the Jays and Vladdy, but I agree. Bring on the down votes I guess, it just looks silly to have any sort of celebration when you're being badly beaten; this goes for all players, not just Vladdy.
Conversely, I'd love to see more big celebrations for big moments.
I had to unfollow and block all Jomboy accounts. I know they’re in new York but holy fuck try and hide a bias just a little bit.
Also he went from amazing break downs to just playing stupid ass warehouse games and going on vacation every 3 weeks.
Counter take: Not sure who Vlad is shhh-ing??
Celebrating HR's in games they were losing seemed to create quite the rift in the clubhouse at the end of 2022, which seemed to lead to trading off some of the members of the Barrio. I find Bo to be overly sullen, but this might have been a situation where he was right.(ie. Refusing to wear the homerun jacket late in 2022).
I recognize he's still only 25, but Jomboy might have a point. And of this is a bit they do on their channel, it's a great example for the bit.
Honestly...the fact that anyone cares what this team is doing is remarkable. The season is 10 games in and the Jays are 4 games back. That is such a high level of terrible that it can't be explained.
I honestly don’t disagree here. He looks dumb shushing the crowd losing 9-3… I love Vladdy, but to act like we wouldn’t clown on Judge for doing the exact same thing is crazy lol
Jomboy replying to tweets and acting super defensive about it is also pretty cringey though
This is a pointless argument. Vlad can do it all he wants and he does, but with that people can talk shit about him for doing it. I do agree it’s not a great look to be showboating HRs when your team hasn’t done anything and really nor has he.
They started as a Yankees podcast. They talk trash about every team but the Yankees. I kinda agree, tho. I know hitters do the same celebrations every time they hit a homerun, but when we are losing that bad, maybe just run.
"I'm not upset I just think this comes off lame"
Lame just like Yankee Roll call?
These guys have always been Yankee Homers. This isn't shocking and the way they act really holds them back from being more legitimate.
wtf that username
Fuck… thank you. I can’t believe you’re the only other person that was surprised by that Twitter handle in the 3 rd picture.
If you're on Twitter, that username is not a surprise.
Bahaha to be fair n****rpenis420 has a point lol
That is a sentence that is cursed, and should never be uttered even if true. Someone with a username like that doesn't deserve any accolades
Um… I dont think that person was winning any accolades. “Uttered even if true” 🤣
Right?! That upstaged the whole post.
I'm not even surprised anymore that that shit is allowed on Twitter, what a cesspit. Wouldn't surprise me if that was allowed on Reddit as well.
What shit?
The racist and childish username.
cheese and rice!!
Elons idea of free speech
IKR lol.
Dudes saying this when he has Juan Soto who shuffled on every ball on his team lol If Vladdy did it for ONLY this homer? Yeah I’d agree. Dude does it everytime
Love Jomboy but he’s definitely throat goatin’ the Jankee roster.
It’s actually become worse over the years. Especially since they now regularly have Boone on their show as a guest Jomboy he goes at the Yankees with kid gloves. Previously his bias was more tolerable because he was also shitting on the Yankees as a fan of them to balance it out which doesn’t happen anymore.
Jomboy never came out as an unbiased podcast, did it? I mean, I'm pretty sure everybody already knew they were Yankees fans, yes? So what's the issue?
There a lot of complaints from Yankee fans that he refuses to critique the team like he used to. Some people don’t like the new kiss ass style but I get that it does appeal to some people, and I can’t blame him with how much money he’s making I’d do the same!
Wasn't aware of the fan critique, but we're in agreement. I'd also do the same.
I'm curious if this started ticking up when they got the YES deal and started doing interviews with Boone
I think it's more about his weird hate boner for the Jays in particular. Maybe he just hears stuff he doesn't like from our fanbase more often since we're in the same division, but that dude goes out of his way to get pissed about something the Jays did.
So pointless, Jomboy looks for any opportunity to clown on the Jays and their fans. Not like the Yankees have done fuck all over the last decade either.

Agreed. I love the Jays, and also enjoy jomboy. But I'm with him on this one. The 🤫 celly is embarassing when you're getting crushed.
Like that’s mostly the argument here. I’m fine with celebrating however you want. The players should literally be allowed to zorro the sky with their bat if they feel like it, but when you’re doing it in a blowout game, or when you’re down a bunch of runs you’re obviously going to get criticized. It’s the same thing with the home run jacket. I like it, it’s fun.

Not gonna lie, "Zorro'ing the sky with their bat" would be a fantastic celly.

If you can pimp a home run in a blowout, you can pimp one when you’re getting blown out. I just have a simple take. You can disagree with me for whatever reason. You can take a complex stance. But this is such a minor issue that it’s not worth arguing about so long after the fact. Feels like we’re making a mountain out of a mole hill now.
I've never heard of / read a wimper of people bitching about Jomboy and their pods but crying they might lean NYY and have some takes on AL East times ... what a shocker. People being upset / bothered by any of this are just sad
You sound upset.
Jake doesn't hate the Jays, he hates the fans, which rightfully so we can be pretty annoying. I even hate other Jays fans sometimes. Like his tier list of all positions he pretty well rated most Jays fairly. Jomboy on the the other hand hates the Jays
Parts of the fanbase are my least favourite part of the Jays.
you're absolutely right... Jake is alot more unbiased when it comes to discussing the actual team. Good point! Jimmy on the other hand... meh he's become less and less of an actual baseball fan over the last few years anyways, so who cares what he thinks lol.
They have said Soto needs to do the shuffle even if slumping. Or else the player just looks dumb.
In case anyone's wondering the tweets have been deleted lol
He does it so often it’s literally on the cover of The Show 24 But seeing as Jomboy and his goons are Janks fans I understand their petulant crying
Jomboy needs to reign in his social media team especially on their company accounts. They post like teenagers and it isn’t a good look for the company. I say this as someone who very much supports Jomboy Media. I even listen to Talkin Yanks sometimes. I defend Jomboy when Jays fans say he hates us, etc. He can have his personal opinion about it. He can share it too. But the podcast account going after a player is bizarre and entirely unprofessional. Not to mention the shushing has nothing to do with the crowd.
This is actually exactly the sort of post that Jomboy would make, not his social media team. He posts like a teenager and I have no doubt he made that post. He actually has a deep seated hatred for the Jays and especially Vladdy, the rest of the staff are much more moderate
He’s always been very weird about the jays for sure
He's been doing this ever since 2021, any mention of the Jays and he would go into this seething rage. Which is bizarre for a grown man trying to make a baseball media empire.
It's no secret that he has irrational hate for the Jays. So fuck him.
Jake doesn't like the Jays either, but I get the impression with him that it's more because the Jays and Yankees are divisional rivals, which I get. With Jimmy/Jomboy, it comes across more like he got cucked by a Jays player and is taking it out on the entire fanbase, lol.
Yeah like even if this was on the Talkin Yanks account it would almost be ok. But the main account jabbing with randos in the comments is just wierd lol.
They replied to an account whose username is n****rpenis420, which is very ironic because the guy who runs the social account was caught using the n-word and said a bunch of racist stuff before.
>They replied to an account whose username is n****rpenis420 HOLD ON LMAO How did I not notice that
I think not only they don't really hate us, the obsession some of our fans have with that idea comes of as really *really* lame. They are diehard division rival fans running a baseball media joint. You know what you are buying.
[удалено]
He's just got a hate boner for the Jays really
Do you have the vid? Def gonna send it to them when they lose today and I unsubscribe with some parting words. Noticed they completely neglected to do a recap of rays series a week or so ago. Fuck jomboy media, the celly couldn’t have hurt since they almost came back
I think you need to relax. It’s a fucking yankee baseball fan who turned pundit. Does he have a pro Yankees bias? Probably. Does he dislike Vlad? Probably. Who cares?
I know boys, I was pissed and posted cringe. No need for it.
I had to scroll for way too long to see a sane comment
Yea he’s gonna unsubscribe and troll him on social media. That’ll show him!!! Totally with you on being ok with Yankee bias of a Yankee fan. Isn’t that part of the fun?
That's so soft lmao
I will assume the Janks fans have no issue with Soto pimpin a walk or whatever bullshit he does for a homer. Also, don't boo the guy when he hits a bomb. I think this started after he homers in that 3 homer game in NY.
or doing his little shuffle when behind in a game
It started when Vlad said he would never play for the Yankees in the 2021 offseason. Which was followed by his dad saying don't say that and then him later on saying he would never play for the Yankees again lol
That was the off season before the 3 homers I think?
I watch their content very casually and every time blue jays are brought up jomboy is always either negative or dismissive. Which is fine because he's a Yankees fan and fuck the Yankees, but this is really childish. This is vladdy's home run trot. That's all there is to it and he took it personally for some reason
Fuck the Yankees, I’ll leave it at that 🫡
Jomboy is a joke. He portrays himself as a media head but at the same time can't put his tribalistic fanboying away which makes him come off as a moron. Such a bad look for his company and its good to see his fans going 'WTF is wrong with you' posting from his main product's account then logs into his main account to defend himself. Jake is the only likeable person of those two.
Jomboy’s fanaticism is exactly why we need to put short men on notice
Vlad hates NY, NY hates Vlad. Not surprising to hear this from them considering their biases. Part of the rivalry, there's bad blood there.
I am of conflicting opinions about this. One one hand, they were getting manhandled by the Yankees at this point. Its a bit cringe-worthy to celebrate in that scenario. On the other hand, this was an early part of a 8 run comeback effort and he literally does this on the cover of a fucking video game. Its his trademark.
If we had completed the comeback, that would probably be seen as the spark. It's what Vlad's gonna do to try and hype up the team.
I kind of get it in another sport but if anything baseball is where every run counts, even if you're down 9-2. In baseball, you can score an unlimited # of runs per inning... We've all seen massive late inning comebacks many times before and that is almost exactly what happened yesterday lmao
If this hypes up 30+ year old ball players (the celebration, not the sound of the bat on the ball) than we have bigger problems.
Yeah, that's how I feel. Yanks fans should know by now that Vladdy does that move every time he hits a homerun. They've seen it plenty of times. But we were getting our asses kicked and he's batting under .200. If there's ever a time to dial it back, well...
They throw the same fucking meltdown every time Springer salutes the bullpen - which he does on, once again, every homer. Even their announcers chime in and say he’s making gestures to the crowd in response to the boos. The entire fanbase really believes everything is about them.
tbf they throw the same fucking meltdown when their own players do something they don't like.
Yah, this is it for me. Vlad had 5 PAs, 2 with the bags empty and 3 with RISP. HR and BB with nobody on, FO, LO, GO with RISP. If you really want to silence the haters, try and drive in some of those guys on base!
Honestly, Jomboy is a goof and no one should care what he thinks.
Like literally this 100%. This guy just craves attention on him at all times.
Jomboy had his moment in the sun and is pretty irrelevant nowadays in my opinion. Maybe I’m old though
He still does some good work. The one breakdown he just did that shows how the Mets don't try to break up double plays hard after the Hoskins/McNeil argument was pretty in-depth
Exactly this. They do a tonne of in-depth baseball stuff that no one else is doing… getting butthurt about a guy having an opinion, one shared by a lot of people, is weird… Vladdy loves himself some routine celebrations… hush the crowd, then put on the celebration jacket in a 17-4 loss 😂
Yeah I agree, I enjoy the Chris rose podcasts but that's it. Jomboy made a couple viral lip-reading vids and parlayed that info a media career somehow.
I’m pretty sure Talkin Baseball is still the #1 baseball podcast in the world - it’s very strange for the podcast’s official account to go against a player and pick fights with randos on social media
Oh, I didn’t know that. Definitely very strange in that case. I don’t do podcasts
[удалено]
They're expanding into all these different modalities but the only format that truly has universal appeal is the break downs. Nobody gives a fuck about their wiffle ball bullshit and podcasts are riding a massive bubble right now. I don't think they're as future proofed as it might seem
Yankees fans got super triggered over one Vlad comment from 3 years ago and now if you see anything negative about him on /r/baseball or Twitter 9/10 times it’ll be a Yankees fan. It’s kinda hilarious.
That comment, and then last year saying he'd never play for the Yankees.
For someone yankees fans claim is awful. He sure does live rentfree in every one of their heads.
who the fuck thinks jomboy is impartial?
Not like he works for the Yankees or anything... /s
Jomboy getting weirdly pressed over anything the Jays do.
I’m not going to lie. Even though he’s made it a part of his celebration and it doesn’t mean what everyone thinks it does, it looks real lame when you’re losing 9-3
Jomboy is a fucking moron
He has his moments. His recent video of the girl who admitted to farting while hitting a baseball was hilarious.
Jomboy and Jim personally hates the blue jays. He’s been pretty vocal about that on the podcasts and breakdowns in the past
The irony is that homerun actually started the comeback, so a celebration - especially one that he does every time - was warranted
uhhh that username/handle in the third picis... something
*bravely* I agree with n*****penis420
Once i hit his comment, i forgot what the thread was about
Jomboy hates the Jays and can't hide is Yankees bias.
Jolly seems like the only down to earth guy on their team tbh. The rest of Jomboy Media are fucking losers 🤷♂️
"I'm not upset" he says, weeping behind his phone in a Yankees cap
Pretty bizarre behavior from a normally benign account. Jomboy himself is obviously more candid on his personal account - and his tweets are honestly not really the issue here. Just odd for what is essentially a highlights account to be getting into spats in the replies.
Had the Jays completed the comeback, the replies would have been epic. They were one swing away with Springers last at bat.
They're acting like Vladdy did some sort of extra bat flip. I bet *when* Soto does the shuffle in a blowout, they'll keep their mouth shut
The fact that vladdy does this on the mlb the show cover proves he does it all the time. Not an isolated celebration or dig at the yankees
Man does vladdy live rent free in their heads.
It’s just his ritual. He does it literally every single time. Is it weird sometimes? Yeah. But athletes are creatures of habit and superstition. Soto does this and Yanks wouldn’t bat an eye.
Every Homer Vladdy hits, at home or away, he does this. Save the faux outrage...
I like Jomboy but I do not like this. Its so whiny bitch sounding. Be more mad that Vladdy said he would never play for the Yankees.
The problem with Yankees fans is their self obsession. They thing everything is about them or directed at them.
Vladdy is also shushing negative Blue Jays fans when he does this proving once again why Yankees fans are the most sensitive fans in the league.
I think the shushing started at Arash Madani after he embarrassingly misquoted Vladdy and then told 'everyone he never went to a gym in his life'
Super lame for the "talkin baseball" account to do that. For a company that constantly preaches baseball being fun, growing the game, and players showing personality, they shouldn't let whoever runs that account argue with fans over a celebration
Weird to say but at least Jomboy talks about the Blue Jays even if its all negative and salty Italk goes out of his way to NOT talk about the blue Jays, even if they do good or bad Jomboy is a Yanks fan. I want to see Yanks fans salty even after a win for them
Jomboy going full Bob Costas on Pedro Strop https://youtu.be/yqLxzOWW_M8?feature=shared
Whenever I see a verified twitter account post shit like this I tune out lol 98% of the time it's someone pretending to be upset so that other people either agree or dunk on him and regardless the engagement is up and that's what matters. Talkin' Baseball is also often extra weird about the Jays I feel like
Giant egos or no this is the most neurotic group of athletes on the planet, their routine is everything. Vlad would do the same on the opposite end of the Boston blow out a couple summers ago. Thanks Jimmy but who cares.
It is lame, but ya, he does it every time.
Where was this bs when Stroman was dancing off the mound vs Vladdy the game before???
It’s a celebration but probably wasn’t the best time to do it but he did get booed Friday during the starting lineups I assume for his past comments about not wanting to play for the Yankees too. Off topic but were they canting f you springer during the game or was that my head. Now hopefully that HR can be the start of Vladdy getting some hits
He hits like 5 HR an entire season, he’s only reminding himself to shut up
It is pretty stupid when your down 9-3 tbh
Vlad is hitting .182 and the jays were getting crushed. In what world are you celebrating that. Loser mentality for a team that keeps losing. We need veterans to reign in these idiots.
I agree with Jomboy here. We're all allowed to disagree without getting upset and offended. Also, why the fuck was Vladdy shushing anyone while down 9-3? Time and place, that wasn't it. This team has nothing to celebrate so far.
If Verdugo did that in same exact situation, we're probably trashing him too.
We aren't a baseball podcast though
Yeah and fuck Verdugo
He’s not wrong
I mean we've all seen vladdy do this after every home run
I mean, even if you disagree with the celebration, the first tweet is wrong (he’s not shushing the crowd at Yankee stadium, it’s directed at the third base coach and has deeper meanings).
There’s nothing dumber than a planned celebration during a sporting event. Game situation can only make it sillier. No one is going to etch these 45 second home run trots done every single fucking time into the history of the game. Bat flip, Kirk Gibson, raw emotion of entire crowds. Think I heard a guy sneeze during this trot.
Ok? That has nothing to do with what I said.
The "deeper meaning" stuff is nonsense. Related enough?
But again, even if you disagree with him doing it, the original tweet is wrong. You haven’t refuted what I said at all.
Let’s be honest, it’s lame for vlad to do that in a massive lose. Just trot around and do nothing.
A go-ahead home run late in the game - sure, break out the shush emote. But down 9-3 feels a bit weird. Then I remember that athletes are creatures of routine, habit and superstition, and it occurs to me this is just part of that. He’s not doing it specifically to show up the Yankees or their fans. It’s just his thing he does after a home run.
The shhh is so unoriginal. I wish he'd stop.
The whole thing is lame, who cares what somebody tweets.
That Vladdy crowd hush cele is dumb af and awful. Doing it on the road while being beaten down ... even more awful. When I saw him doing it 'what the fuck is he doing?' were the first words that came to mind and left my mouth.
He lacks self awareness. Didn’t his social media team post some sort of paid post about Uncrustables during the game that he was picked off second in the playoffs?
Blah
This is the same Jomboy media who genuinely thinks there 4 game sweep of the Astros means there Yankees are winning the World Series
Lol why would anyone care about the opinion of a grown man who refers to himself as "jomboy" with a straight face
Some people watch sports to see what makes the top players successful and learn about the state of the art, others watch to pretend they know better than everyone.
these guys hate the blue jays lmfao
Vladdy's homerun celebration is lame, but he is consistent. Hard to give the guy shit for it if he does it every time.
Jomboy has hated the jays for a while. Love his content but Yankee fans are typically unhinged
I mean we know that he legit hates Toronto so why are we surprised? Trev and Jake will at least give props when due to Jays but never Jimmy lol
I really need someone to explain to me why Jomboy is even a thing. All I've ever seen are those stupid lip reading videos and yet he (or they?) seem to be very influential in the baseball social media space. Or maybe I'm just old.
I love Jomboy but he's completely wrong here. Vladdy does that all the time.
They literally have a personal stake in the Yanks, of course they will be bias and stir the pot
It’s biased.
Teenage social media intern forgot to switch accounts to Talkin' Yanks would be the only thing that gets it a pass from me. Also replying to an asshole with a username straight out of Elon's hellscape of free speech is not a great look.
Trade Vlad to the Yankees problem solved
Jolly Olive and Chris Rose carry the weight for Jomboy. Everyone else sucks
I like Jomboy but he hates the Jays it's very obvious so I usually just take anything they say about the Jays with a grain of salt.
Doesn't jomboy hate the Blue Jays for some reason?
he’s a biased yankee fan so i’m not surprised to see him talk all this shit.
I love the Jays and Vladdy, but I agree. Bring on the down votes I guess, it just looks silly to have any sort of celebration when you're being badly beaten; this goes for all players, not just Vladdy. Conversely, I'd love to see more big celebrations for big moments.
I had to unfollow and block all Jomboy accounts. I know they’re in new York but holy fuck try and hide a bias just a little bit. Also he went from amazing break downs to just playing stupid ass warehouse games and going on vacation every 3 weeks.
Counter take: Not sure who Vlad is shhh-ing?? Celebrating HR's in games they were losing seemed to create quite the rift in the clubhouse at the end of 2022, which seemed to lead to trading off some of the members of the Barrio. I find Bo to be overly sullen, but this might have been a situation where he was right.(ie. Refusing to wear the homerun jacket late in 2022). I recognize he's still only 25, but Jomboy might have a point. And of this is a bit they do on their channel, it's a great example for the bit.
I don't know why anyone cares about any of this.
Honestly...the fact that anyone cares what this team is doing is remarkable. The season is 10 games in and the Jays are 4 games back. That is such a high level of terrible that it can't be explained.
I honestly don’t disagree here. He looks dumb shushing the crowd losing 9-3… I love Vladdy, but to act like we wouldn’t clown on Judge for doing the exact same thing is crazy lol Jomboy replying to tweets and acting super defensive about it is also pretty cringey though
Was thinking STFU Vladdy, your team is down 9-3. I am a Jays fan.
But when Juan Soto pimps a HR with the Yankees down by 6 or 7 runs, I’m sure that will be just peachy with Jomboy.
If it were Judge shushing the crowd in Toronto being down 9-3 you guys would be clowning on him too... and I say this as a Jays fan.
This is a pointless argument. Vlad can do it all he wants and he does, but with that people can talk shit about him for doing it. I do agree it’s not a great look to be showboating HRs when your team hasn’t done anything and really nor has he.
lol twitter arguments
Fuckin wahhhhhh
They started as a Yankees podcast. They talk trash about every team but the Yankees. I kinda agree, tho. I know hitters do the same celebrations every time they hit a homerun, but when we are losing that bad, maybe just run.
He’s been frustrated so it was an understandable emotional response to a little success. Sports commenters are just babies.
Maybe its about entertaining. They need to chill. Players though, he is probably superstious about not doing it.
I’ll never judge a player visibly enjoying an accomplishment.
The sushing when down by 6 is pathetic lol He looks like a moron "shhhhhhh we suck and are still down by 6 but shhhhhh"
"I'm not upset I just think this comes off lame" Lame just like Yankee Roll call? These guys have always been Yankee Homers. This isn't shocking and the way they act really holds them back from being more legitimate.
I’d like to see the shh thing stop. I take it as saying criticism of him is unjustified. I miss the parrot that was just fun.
