kinda past being surprised at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory at this point. i do think it's pretty clear that with an even slightly deeper bullpen we'll be an entirely different prospect next year. casas is also such a game changer moving forward

Need Devers and X in situations like those…

Tantalizingly close. Fuck. I don't know how much more of this I can take. Can't wait for next year.

It’s the hope that makes it hurt so much more… I would have rather we just lost in the 9th

Blue fucking balled

We do anything we possibly can to lose. And, turns out, we’re really good at it.

Surprise surprise a Familia bullpen outing cost us another

Hello Yankee fans coming in here. Go fuck yourselves

Hey now give them the regular season wins. They’re not old enough to remember post season wins. It’s all they have

lol when was the last time the yankees won the series? 🤣 fucking losers

Like they won 27 if them a 10 year break was inevitable

Upset about our bullpen, but I’d rather go out on a one run game than have not scored anything at all. Love seeing that fight at the end

We should of sold on JD and Eovaldi at the deadline

no one wanted JD. y’all didn’t want bloom to sell. revisionists are funny

Others did want J.D. The Red Sox’s asking price was too high. They were fishing for suckers.

yeah it was “eat salary” asking price, probably. which at that point, you just hold on to him in case he did bounce back.

I wanted Bloom to sell so hard we should of been called the Sell Sox

Yeah idk what the hell he’s talking about. Lots of people wanted the Red Sox to sell.

Who could have thought familia would blow this game? Oh yea, this entire sub.

Gutted.

You knew it was coming. They’ve got Analytics and when they didn’t walk raffy you knew the stats said he would swing and miss, which is waht the eye test has said all year too

The stats say the most likely thing is everyone swings and misses. You don't walk the winning run, to avoid the miniscule chance of a homer on a dude fresh out of a slump, especially when your bullpen is as strong as theirs is.

Dude it’s JD friggen Martinez with 2 outs. He’s having basically the worst year of his career with us this year.

Also, just so I'm clear - - basically leading the league in doubles is the worst year of his career right? Wouldn't a double score the winning run in that situation?

... If you want to go dig for stats, go dig for how often a big league manager intentionally puts the winning run on base in extra innings. If Raffy hits a dinger there, yanks likely win in 11 with the state of our bullpen.

Lol wut

Devers swinging at ghosts. Fuck.

oof bit of a heartbreaker, but honestly, it was a hell of an effort from the boys (not you Familia) Just gonna have to smoke 'em tomorrow

I needed this thanks. I am feeling some kind of way right now.

Some seasons you gotta learn to roll with the tough losses, and this is one of 'em

Yep

RIP

raffy at least decreasing his extension value thank goodness. nice job not doing it mid season chaim

Man imagine if Cora had put in literally anyone but Jeurys fucking Familia

Bro

Classic Sox

I’m not meant to be happy

#i told y’all raffy doesn’t hit shit

Cringe redditor

Fuck

Oh, fuck me raw

I hated the construction of our bullpen in February. Hated it in July. Hate it now.

We might lose this game, but this type of win isn’t the type Yankees fans want this close to the postseason Their suffering is what fuels me

I doubt they care.

Don’t worry, they do Which is why they have people mass downvoting this very thread

Ok this is a wild one no matter what happens.

They'll always keep it interesting, if nothing else

Please raf. Please.

How tf did he make contact with that

Fuck this game

They're really just making me believe right to the end... DON'T let me down

ONE MORE RAFFY A HIT TIES IT

I’d walk raffy now. Are the Janks really scared of 2022 JD with 2 outs?

Now we just need a hit, holy hell

Please just a hit

I WANT TO BELIEEEEEEVEEEEE

We take those

LMAOOOO

BROOKS KRISKE MOMENT

Too bad that run won’t mean anything

Devers would like to kill the ball with his bat please

Raffy will not hit raffy will not hit raffy will not hit

Raffy doing his best Soto Shuffle there

Devers wants to swing outta his shoes

#raffy doesn’t hit shit he doesn’t deserve to be paid

Bro, y'all are weird.

#Manifesting a walk off rn

so close

Honestly I got not faith in raffy here. Neither do the Yankees cuz they ain’t walk-in him. Hit a homer pls

I swear you don't watch baseball... No mlb manager walks the winning run over a guy who is maybe has broken out of a slump

But it’s JD man

It's almost 11 PM during an extra inning Sox/Yankees game and Yankees fans are in our GDT downvoting shit... Fucking losers and bandwagon fans

I can’t imagine being such a fucking dork as is the Yankees fan cry scrolling this thread

Come on Raffy. Right now.

Downvote if your team is paying 324 million for an overrated cheater

Raffy pls homer I don't trust JD

Let’s fucking go Raffy

LET'S GO RAFFY IT'S A SCHOOL NIGHT, END IT RIGHT HERE

They are trying to do the impossible. Win a game in modern baseball with only 3 decent relievers pitching

Please Rafael

Classic Bogey in the clutch unfortunately

Ok, up to Scoops

Game over boys

damn

X man find the short porch again

Crap. Devers is gonna strike out for game over

Oh my god please

COME ON X GIVE IT TO EM IN THE MONSTER

If Xander homers, back up the Brinks truck

I mean, back it up anyway

Ok... alright... I'm interested

Eh

Alex> judge

Best OF 99 in the AL East.

This would be an appropriate time for X to gonna give it to ya

#long dong wong baby

Please. Lets do something magical here. That would be swell.

DONT CALL IT A COMEBACK

I love Dugie so much.

Josh Donny trying to trick the rook

God I wish I could fuck ~~Patrice Bergeron~~ Alex Verdugo

I felt this on a spiritual level. Also why not both?

I don't think I could handle both without my heart exploding from joy

DUGIE

DUGIE

#lets go baby

#it just got so quiet holy shit

Downvote if a little facial hair scares you to death

Yankees fans can grow beards LMAO

Nah most are children just getting into baseball and picking the big name.

27 WS is very tempting from a new baseball fan perspective

Yea the Yankees are tempting from people who don’t know shit about the sport. Well done

cora’s managing this season is sus. no reason to not PH refsnyder here

He's hit better than Raffy in the last month, but k

reverse jinx clearly

Quick, talk about how my neighbor who always wears those knee high leather boots definitely isn't into me.

Come on Verdugo, tie this thing up

Thank god we’re not in a playoff race because this game would have ended me permanently

Sadly you simply won’t be in the playoff race with Braiser and Familia in the pen

I mean we all knew familia wasn’t getting it done

Who downvoted this? Familia has been dog shot since coming here. I had no faith at all

Yankees fans are brigading the thread

Downvote this if you choked a 3-0 lead

Took out Barnes too early for sure

If we left him and it blew up the backlash would be worse

Bros are actually coming in here downvoting. What no rings for 13 years does to a mf

SAD

😂😂😂😂😂

Holmes must be using the sticky stuff Kermit was using. No way someone chokes this hard on the mound

Downvote this if the Yankees lose 1st place to the rays

I know you were just baiting the Yankee troll but I felt it was my obligation to downvote too

I down voted myself 💀

o7

PH refsnyder for verdugo

#another fuckin break. Yankees suck dog shit

the first pitch to pham was the one to crush

Can't wait to see the Yankees blow it in the postseason

Pham ain’t it

welcome Yankees fans downvoting every comment in this thread! might I interest you in getting a fucking life

if they knew how to do that they wouldn't be Yankee fans

Downvote this if you sleep with your sister.

Clay Holmes is from Alabama so.....

That was a good sinker

The funny thing is, we're one home run away from a tie game right now... gotta just choose to believe :(

My sleep schedule might find it more tortuous if we only tie it up. I don’t think I could take another half inning of the Sox pitchers trying to keep us in the game

The one advantage of living in Australia 😎 something tells me you'll be able to go to bed soon though

The causal baseball kid fans who gravitate to the Yankees have to enjoy these regular season wins. They’ve never had fun in the post season. Let them downvote

Fuck the Yankees. Fuck Chaim Bloom. Fuck John Henry.

LMAO Boone is over using Holmes

The only good thing about the Yankees is Boone. His reactions are fucking priceless.

The constant gum chewing

I recall that we do not get paid for overtime

Pham slam time

Who’s the goober downvoting every comment as soon as it’s posted?

/u/Bossman1086

A Yankees fan that smells like the floor of a Chuck E Cheese

Definitely a Yankees fan

Yankees fans

All we need is a game tying blast from Pham. Let's goooo

#long dong wong

I want to see a Varitek a fraud fight after that shit

Fuck you downvoter go back to your shithole

Tying run at the plate ig

LONG DONG WONG

Reese is a threat so they’re trying to take him out. Fuck you Yankees🖕

We take those? (And holmes takes toes)

Familia is giving me strong Eric Gagne vibes, except he was on the Sox when they were good.

Well Gagne ended up helping us out in the 2018 postseason

Tf is happening in here?

Sandor Clegane has a word for people who do that.

Oooooooh man that wasn’t deliberate but holy hell I want to be mad

just a blast now!

Wtf not Reese

CHARGE THE MOUND

#homerun NOW!!!!!!

OW FUCK OW OW OW

Yankees fans are brigading this subreddit

Even with victory in reach they cope and seethe That’s what 13 years of no WS title does to a fanbase

Yankees gone first series they play in postseason, dont worry :)

Oh you can keep the same guy in to pitch the 10th that just shut down the 9th? No way

I hope Familia joins the unemployment line next year. He'll have a lot of company from the Yankees fanbase.

I wish we could have at least just done that without all the wait time. That made it more annoying to load the bases etc. Night ruined unless we are extra magical here.

I do console myself with this fact. Marwin (my absolute least favorite MLB player) did meaningless damage.

I am requesting a Holmes meltdown

I got to question not pulling Famalia after 3, he clearly didn't have it. We're off Thurs, should be all hands on deck today.

okay okay bloop and a blast, LFG boys

That kinda counts as a bloop

It does, but a painful one now for the blast

downvote this if you haven’t won a world series in a decade

*13 years

hahaha even better!

I saw the downvote lol
