Hahaha no, not really. This team is too "Home Run or Strike Out" extreme. The '09 team was better, AND especially on defense and overall hitting (Not just power). An infield of Tex, Cano, Jeter, and A-Rod was simply one of the best in decades. Matsui, Swisher, Damon, Posada, Melky, and Gardner were no slouch either. They had 6 guys batting at least .280 and 2 guys hitting over .300 (Cano & Jeter). 7 players with at least 20 HRs and 2 with at least 30 (A-Rod and Tex. They also had 100+ RBIs). The infield defense was definitely better, except at short (Didi is surely an upgrade over Jeter defensively). But, the upside is that the '18 Yankees is basically consisted of rookies (Torres, Andujar), sophomore/upstart players (Judge, Sanchez, Bird, Severino), and breakout players (Voit, Didi, Hicks). The established stars are on the pitching staff plus Stanton, McCutchen, and Gardner. They have so much potential.
Stoned Prophet Finally a civil baseball fan. Happy my yanks won but sad that your A’s fell. I’m a big fan of Billy Bean and I really want moneyball to work someday.
oliviam amen to that. I did feel bad when he got emotional in the locker room but if there's trade talks he had to at least suspect he was up for debate. even tyler austin, said he was surprised but you kind of have to expect it. shreve, ugh I shudder just thinking about him. gray is like a step above him imo
Got rid of the goatee unbuttoned the top of his jersey and stepped into stardom with the Yanks! 🙌🏼⚾️ The Yankee organization makes great players out of good players.
Your just another stubborn yankee fan that doesn’t appreciate the fact that the Red Sox are not going to be easy to beat.And if you do congrats but to come in acting like it’s gonna be a walk in the park.I hope they sweep you guys.Astros fan btw
Your Dad I don't blame you, I'd want the Yankees taken out too if I were an Astros fan. Houston pummeled Boston last year. Barely made it past the Yankees and this year's team is better then last year's.. Astros and their fans want no part of the Yankees.
The Yankees don’t even scare me.To me the only team that I think can beat us are the Red Sox.And I’m looking forward to that challenge if they beat the Yankees.Which I think they will
Random assignment, I guess? And probably no more coincidental than Don Orsillo (former NESN commentator) calling the national telecast last Saturday in Boston.
As had a great yr 97 wins is no joke. Especially being in the same division as the astros. Glad my yanks didnt have to face them in a full series cuz i was worried as hell about this game
I've been trying to figure out voit's glove. I think it's a rawlings prodctjb, the paul goldschmidt model but relaced in red, prob cause he was a cardinal. you can still see the tan binding on it.
I saw this guy every day when he played at roger dean. I’m a season ticket holder for the Cardinals A+ team. This guy took steroids there’s no shadow of a doubt. He didn’t have much pop or flare and now I see him benching with one hand and getting all crazy. Reminds me of Clemons and bonds.
Best Yankee team in the last 10 years.
They have the momentum, here we come Boston !
Definitely since our last championship squad. That 09' Team was no joke.

Machado ain't never going to happen. They need starting pitching. Harper had a bad year. The Yankees are sold on youth and analytics
DA DADASDAD
they don't need him they need to solidify the rotation
Where would Machado play ?? We have Andujar and Didi. We need to sign Patrick Corbin
0:50: Aaron Judge Double
2:25: Aaron Hicks RBI Double
9:07: Giancarlo Stanton Walk
15:36: Luke Voit 2 Run Triple
16:50 Didi Gregorius Sacrifice Fly
20:43: Adeiny Hechavarria Groundout
21:25: Gary Sanchez Groundout
Disappointed in my A's, but that's the way it goes when you go toe to toe with the Bronx Bombers.
Respect
Stoned Prophet Finally a civil baseball fan. Happy my yanks won but sad that your A’s fell. I’m a big fan of Billy Bean and I really want moneyball to work someday.
Why? Sht ya were expected to be last in your division. Props to that team. and the lowest payroll
Hell of a year from the Athletics. Much respect.
Athletics are trash the manager changed so many pitchers and then even the one with a great era got destroyed a's belong in the dumpster with the mets
Don't be distracted from the fact that the Cardinals traded Voit to Yankees for some bag of chips. #Shame
The Yankees were looking for someone who could produce now and that is what he is doing. Plus, Chasen Shreve was the worst in our bullpen

JB Tiamson yea
Voit is just wanted the Yankees need a power hitter
15:41 16:56
Thank you Luke Voit for your time in pinstripes and this unforgettable moment!
voit looks like a young giambi out there.
I couldnt agree more he reminds me of giambi ill always love giambi he tried hard and gave us his best
This is what I like about these Yankees they were hitting all of the field. When they hit all over the field they were unstoppable
Amazing game to watch, the stadium sounded crazy and very loud with a electric atmosphere. Good job Yankees, now go kick some Boston arse!👏👏👏👍
This yankes
Rosa Gonzalez it’s not “yankes” it’s Yankees
Been a Yanks fan since birth, born and bred in the Bronx baby! I am damn proud of my bois! Now, bring us Boston baby!
The 20 year tradition. LET'S Go YANKEES !!
The Yankees have owned Rodney his whole career. The second he was in the game my response was "this is over." And it soon was.
Oroborus Thank God they knocked him and his stupid crooked hat out of the game
That's what he gets he yelling at the bleachers before the game.
Get ready for another ALDS loss Red Sox fans. You guys can have the East. We will take the ALDS.
Your just another stubborn yankee fan that doesn’t appreciate the fact that the Red Sox are not going to be easy to beat.And if you do congrats but to come in acting like it’s gonna be a walk in the park.I hope they sweep you guys.Astros fan btw
@@yourdad1805 I agree it's not going to be easy. Hopefully we'll beat them. We have unfinished business with you...
Your Dad This person gets it! 👍🏽
Your Dad I don't blame you, I'd want the Yankees taken out too if I were an Astros fan. Houston pummeled Boston last year. Barely made it past the Yankees and this year's team is better then last year's.. Astros and their fans want no part of the Yankees.
The Yankees don’t even scare me.To me the only team that I think can beat us are the Red Sox.And I’m looking forward to that challenge if they beat the Yankees.Which I think they will
Fr though if the A’s were in the central division they would have been the best team with 100 wins
Ken Kaneki whatchu talking about? It would be yankees Indians in the WC game
9:06 Why is Eckersley calling this game? I get he played for the A's, but he's the most biased commentator I've ever heard, lol
Random assignment, I guess? And probably no more coincidental than Don Orsillo (former NESN commentator) calling the national telecast last Saturday in Boston.
Cause he works for tbs in october lol
As had a great yr 97 wins is no joke. Especially being in the same division as the astros. Glad my yanks didnt have to face them in a full series cuz i was worried as hell about this game
Judge Voight and Stanton coming up huge I don't know what happens next but I have an excitement for this group that I haven't had in years
Yankees vs Dodgers world series 2018 please
i was at this game in the bleachers. i didn't sit the entire game. great game Yankees !!
Let’s go!! 🔥🔥💪 Yankees got this 💪
Voit is a gamer!
that ball 4 call on Stanton was wild lmaooooo
Anyone watching this during quarantine?
Go Yankees 😎🐲
I've been trying to figure out voit's glove. I think it's a rawlings prodctjb, the paul goldschmidt model but relaced in red, prob cause he was a cardinal. you can still see the tan binding on it.
To Mookie and or Bellinger..that would have been an easy catch Piscotty did not make!!..💪💙💙
God I love Voit
i wonder how different this game would have been with a starter instead of a opener
Watching this in February because Im cold and I miss the yankees
I think Voit is the best yankee batter this season
Epic game. Don't care that we exited in the ALDS. Same as last year's ALCS- epic.
Red Sox here we come!
LUUUKE🐂
Swing bats make numbers.... go yanks...
84 Oakland fans thumbs down...sorry guys
Go yankees. All rise for juge. 99
Mom I made it 2:43
BOOOOOOO BOSTON GOOOO YANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LGY
Now its TIME to teach the sox a lesson!!!!
Rodney 41year old and still can throw 95miles fastball wtf
I’m a big ass Yankees fan but can u see how the As outfielders weren’t even running for the ball I would of benched those scrubs
Voit just isn’t what he used to be. 😔
I'm a Mets fan, but I'm rooting for the Yankees to beat the A's. Why? Rodney and his stupid little flat brim sideways cap.
Go boston 😃
These announcers terrible
#Trump2020!
Luke Voit pimping a fly ball that didn’t even go out. Trash along with the Yankees and it’s stupid short porch
The team is nothing but roids.
Lmao!
Please cry a little more....
your hate, bitterness, jealousy and patheticness is nothing but sad
Hit the road loser!
Oh you big mad huh?
