@@TigerSharkMLB Yankees as a brand and their fans. Hate that guys like Rizzo and Soto are on there, love them as players, but I'd like to see the Yankees go 100 years without making it to the World Series. Cubs are my NL team and Rangers are my AL team, grew up close to the Rangers and a trip to Wrigley won me over, best fans ever. Just can't stand Yankees fans tbh.
@@Alexander_Grant Every city and fan base has good and bad fans. When a team has a history like that, it ups the ante a bit with regard to the intensity of their fan base. Most Yankee fans I have met are very knowledgeable about the game, and they demand good baseball…or they bitch about it…just like any other serious fans. They are intense , sometimes arrogant, and they should be. It’s the fucking New York Yankees! Babe Ruth. Lou Gehrig. Joe DiMaggio. Mickey Mantle. Yogi, Mattingly , Mariano, Jeter, Reggie, etc. It’s an east coast toughness too. Its cold weather, it’s very family oriented. It’s loyalty. It’s a different language. It’s a different beast. Go Yanks.
Yea like all the time Judge will get you there but when the chips are in the middle he folds pocket aces to a min raise, doesn't have the Jeter or Jackson genes. Winfield runs through his veins.
There is nothing "fun" about watching Judge this postseason. It actually been the opposite. He has proven throughout his career he is a postseason bum. Soto in one postseason with Yankees has more signature moments than Judge in 10. Thats pathetic.
Absolutely. Even just on an entertainment level, it's been a pure joy. I have never seen anything like him. He is the most fun batter to watch. No matter the situation, it's fargin' war!
most of the mlb commentary on YT and insta are saying that pitch missed the mark, and that's why Soto hit it. It's just not the case, he was following everything, and it was a great read. Not a Yankees fan, but that AB was unreal.
Hard to say it missed when it’s high and away, it was a well located pitch, but typically you want the batter to chase out the strike zone with a high fastball. It was a 1-2 count so he could afford to throw it higher. If it was a 3-2 count the pitch would be well placed.
Idk, I think he wanted the pitch higher, judging from the glove position. Though you could argue the glove position is just for emphasis/which 'side to err on'.
my heart genuinely stopped when i saw naylor set up there, i knew it was trying to be a fastball up but he called for it way too low. one of the worst placements for him to throw his fastball
That fastball was not located where he wanted it. Catcher clearly indicated up and out of the zone. Dude was basically standing up. That pitch caught too much of the plate.
Padres have some leadership problems or something. After beating the Dodgers in 2022 they seemingly gave up against the Phillies. And then this time they gave up before even beating the Dodgers. Soto seems to be thriving elsewhere(did it with the Nats too), so the issue looks like SD.
Why pitch to him , just throw him out side ball and hope he bites. Just like Stantonshould of walked him . But that’s what good hitters do and there are a lot of good bats on Yankee.
Good video, but that is NOT where Naylor or Gaddis wanted it. It was supposed to be way high, not a pitch to hit, but just to change Soto’s mindset so the breaking ball would be more effective. But instead, it was in the strike zone, and you know the rest of the story.
@@christopherandrews9232 if cleveland got there LA would have knocked them out too. Probably swept them. LA will more than likely beat the Yankees too.
I was watching this live and kept thinking to my they gotta change this pitcher mid-at bat. Really not sure why they didn't. All it would've taken is that head nod he was giving Gaddis for me to make that switch.
If they’re going to unfollow because of a 2min video about the most important at-bat of the post season so far, that would be the DUMBEST reason to unfollow a channel about BASEBALL. Anyone who unfollows for that reason is a gigantic salty baby. If there are guardians fans out there who are going to boycott anything that covers the Yankees, better just boycott all media for the next couple weeks because the Yankees are in the World Series and people are going to be talking about it.
“One of the most impressive at bats I’ve witnessed….”? Dude, you’re giving away your age and lack of knowledge of the Yankees… Search The 1996 World Series, Game 4, Top of the 8th, Yankees down by three runs to the ATL Braves, with two on and Jim Leyritz AB… You have to watch the entire sequence…
I hate the Yankees. Wish them all the worst. But they better roll out every damn thing they can to sign Soto. Soto is the epitome a Yankee. He should be in NYC for life (and always lose in the WS)
Lmao you probably never seen his intervew. He act like that on the plate because he's competitive. But in the interview, he always says he knows the pitchers are good but he got the better of them.
bro, I love him just nodding his head the whole at bat like "yup, Im all over you!" 😂 what a dawg! ❤
This is how he's going to nod at Cashman when discussing contract negotiations in a month 😂
It's too bad he's on such an unlikable team.

Give him 700 million, Staten Island + my first born
And the Empire State Building too
Staten? Give him Long, including the Hamptons
getting staten island is a punishment
A landfill and a kid? You my friend are a terrible negotiator.
He says yes to the first 2.
I've watched this highlight multiple times from multiple channels. It's just amazing how he just locked it and would not be beat.
This has to be the best at bat I have have ever seen. It had it all, and the best man won!!
Soto always battles really well. Sometimes he’s more fun to watch than Judge.
both are amazing!
*Most of the time* he’s more fun to watch than Judge.
Sometimes? You mean most of the time.

One of the most epic at bats I’ve seen in my 70 years!!! Juan Soto has earned his swagger! Giancarlo Stanton also had an epic series!
Same as 2019. He has the best at bats in the game imo
The 7th pitch was NOT where Naylor wanted it. It was not high enough.
Good catch by you. The catcher’s glove was higher, out of the strike zone.
Still not an easy pitch to hit by any means. But I bet they wish they could get that mistake back.
This is exactly what I dreamed of when the Yanks traded for him in the offseason. It’s been an absolute privilege to watch him in pinstripes this year
Absolutely. Even just on an entertainment level, it's been a pure joy. I have never seen anything like him. He is the most fun batter to watch. No matter the situation, it's fargin' war!
Soto’s got that dawg in him!
Naylor called for it at the shoulders, pitch was at the letters.
As an Orioles fan, Yankee success makes me sick, but I'll tip my cap to Juan, he earned it.
Since when they been as dormant as the cicada for 15 years.

No, that's not where Naylor wanted it, He wanted it up and out of the zone.
Great breakdown
Idk, I think he wanted the pitch higher, judging from the glove position. Though you could argue the glove position is just for emphasis/which 'side to err on'.
Steven Vogt did a nice job with this team this year. No doubt. In the playoffs , he was in over his head. I hope he learns from it.
this is one of the best at bats in baseball history, iconic.
my heart genuinely stopped when i saw naylor set up there, i knew it was trying to be a fastball up but he called for it way too low. one of the worst placements for him to throw his fastball
Juan Soto is a cheeseball, CLE handed them this HR

My heart is broken in Cleveland tonight! 💔
lmao...
But you couldn't have played better for the Padres???
-Me, a Padres fan
Padres have some leadership problems or something. After beating the Dodgers in 2022 they seemingly gave up against the Phillies. And then this time they gave up before even beating the Dodgers.
Soto seems to be thriving elsewhere(did it with the Nats too), so the issue looks like SD.
Soto is so great, but don’t forget Stanton in this game.
Soto eats high fastballs like a fat man at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Terrible pitch call.
This series could’ve been won if clause AND rokio weren’t on the team
Yeah Clase really ruined some games
They lead for only 9 of 48 innings in that series. They weren't gonna win period.
That was definitely NOT perfectly placed. Soto lives off high fastballs. They wanted that WAY higher.
Bo didn't want the pitch there... he wanted a little bit higher
Best eye at the plate since Tony Gwynn
The Tony Gwynn who struck out 15 times in 535 at bats.
Bad Ass dude...
How?
Why pitch to him , just throw him out side ball and hope he bites. Just like Stantonshould of walked him . But that’s what good hitters do and there are a lot of good bats on Yankee.
The Guardians played a hell of a series. They just came up $200 million short.
That last pitch wasn't where he wanted. It was supposed to be higher.
That wasn’t where Naylor wanted it, it was clearly intended to be a ball
Keep Soto
Who does Cleveland hate the most? Jordan, Elway or Soto
No, he wanted that last pitch higher, out of the strike zone. It was never supposed to be in the strike zone.
That was not where he meant to throw that pitch. He was set up 4 in higher and outside.
Good video, but that is NOT where Naylor or Gaddis wanted it. It was supposed to be way high, not a pitch to hit, but just to change Soto’s mindset so the breaking ball would be more effective. But instead, it was in the strike zone, and you know the rest of the story.
Juan's Auto historic home run and Yankee history. He shares it with Chris chambliss and Reggie Jackson....
That’s not where naylor wanted gaddis to put it, they were still up in the count 1-2. gaddis missed and soto punished him for it
Weve seen where the catcher set up and the ball was not delivered there. He missed much lower thab the catcher was calling for.
[Amount: New York, NY]
[Payable To: JUAN SOTO]
[Signed: JOE BIDEN]
disagree....as it looks like he missed his spot on that 7th pitch - C wanted it higher and out of the zone - he nipped the zone.
Wasn't even a bad pitch just didn't set it up well, had to bury a slider down and in first
Yeah the Yankees bought themselves into another World Series!!! Great job at stacking your team guys!!!
