- Thanks for watching! The New York Yankees began the season as the best team in baseball. But quickly, fell down to one of the worst teams over the last month. Is it a slump? Or are the Yankees not as good as people have been saying...?

Title: How Baseball’s “Best” Team Collapsed In ONE Month

What should my next video be based on?! 🤔
The Red Sox, they seem to be out performing all expectations fans had at the beginning of the season
@@keatonvarone2839 I’m a Red Sox fan, and I wanna make a Sox video SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO badly.
However, I think I wanna wait till the end of the season (in hopes something awesome happens in the postseason, and the team adds at the deadline)
@@PurelyBaseballYT do it!! I’m also a diehard Sox fan and this team this year is fun as hell and if they make a couple good moves before the deadline they can do something
@@PurelyBaseballYT You should do the Milwaukee Brewers
@@Shinybald in the works right now actually
Cashman's major weaknesses are overpaying for mediocre talent, keeping top talent in Triple A with no hope of promotion and not getting rid of players who don't perform for long periods of time (including perpetually injured players).
He has to overpay everybody taxes, the Yankees
The problem is that the guys he overpays for don't do anything
It's such a one dimensional offensive roster. They are so slow, it's ridiculous.
U talking shit like u a GM he's giving other teams a chance to catch up to greatness u act like he's the mets owner paying such shit players like there good stfu u nobody
Aaron Hicks in the past, Lemehiue, Gleyber, Rizzo, Stanton now. Probably more struggling. More than half the lineup. Yep Cashman is ass
its so easy to beat the yankees, just walk Soto and Judge and then deal with the rest of the team. If you score more than 4 runs its a guaranteed win. The Mets literally proved this 2 weeks ago
Can’t argue facts. Guy knows ball.
That's basically how my favorite team (Let's go Mets!) were able to take 2 out of three against the Dodgers in April
@@andredunbar3773istg the dodgers should not have lost (good game tho) our manager sends the most random pitchers at times that aren’t needed against certain players and I swear it’s like he tells each player to go for doubles or more
The Yankees have scored 40 runs in the last 4 games
@@RAZZPR0D what does that mean? Because if I remember correctly the Mets put almost 30 on them in TWO games. Run support means nothing when your defense is garbage. They are and have been sliding except for about 3 of the last 5.
i think the 2024 season is perfectly mirroring what happened in 2022, except instead of Judge being the lone great player, it's judge and soto.
Hint: when playing vs dodgers
Literally. My exact thought.
“Most iconic season in MLB history” is SUCH A STRETCH
Not entirely. Judges 2022 seasom ranked in the top 25 of all time. That is no small thing. The Most? A little hyperbolic maybe. But he torched the league.
@@TK0_23_ I’m just going off of what was said
@@TK0_23_ Ok Acunas 40/70 season means he's the greatest of all time and that season is the most electric ever. Nice logic.
@@TK0_23_ I could give two poops that Judge had a historic season. He then was apparently spent by their post season and did not a thing to help the team succeed. Sure he was probably the main if not only reason they got there to begin with but I would have much rather had him never quite break the hr record but instead have something left to contribute when it counted post season. I am the only person on this planet that evidently feels this way but baseball is a TEAM sport!!!
no
“Most home runs in a season by a player not taking steroids” lmao
My thoughts exactly...lol!
Not to mention that professor who got some balls proved Yankee stadium got juiced balls! 🙄
Aaron Judge is just a very large human being. 6-7 and 280 lbs. That's enough to justify the power, regardless of steroid use. I'm saying the MR. Triple crown threat Judge is a HOF player regardless of any vitamin intakes.
He doesn't need steroids to be the best hitter in the American League, just admit that he's legitimate. Just like pre 1999 Barry Bonds was legit. Why don't you look at some films of Cecil Fielder in the 80's and Darryl Strawberry of the Mets.. Those guys were doing cocaine, not steroids, and still hitting tons of HR.
Cashman and Boone like Pinky and Brain, but the difference they are both Pinky
😂😂😂 This.
If you actually watched that cartoon Pinky is actually smarter
One is a genius, the other's insane. They never say who.
Steinbrenner signs the checks it's on him
@@davidstockman7405 As someone who has watched the cartoon -- multiple times -- "Pinky is the actual genius" is a Reddit-level take held by people who have either not watched it themselves or watched it so long ago they have no memory of the actual show. Pinky is a certified dunce and the Brain's plans usually collapse due to his own hubris or unanticipated outside factors.
Imagine finishing the season with a winning record and acting like it's a historically bad season. Talk to Pirates fans or Diamondback fans or Marlin fans if you want to know what a bad season looks like.
I swear the Yankees and everyone surrounding them are the most spoiled in all of sports.
As a DBacks fan, my thoughts exactly. Cashman talking like they are historically bad and no one has ever played worse... with a winning record. What a joke.
tbf 2023 was a disappointing season for the Yankees but you're right about the spoiled part
@@ashwinranji8790 Disappointing and historically bad are very different.
@@mdiggler should be but for NYY ig it’s not
Pirates have finished better than 82-80 1 time in the last 8 seasons and just 4 times in the last 31 seasons.
One thing you forgot is that Volpe has been terrible for almost 2 months now
I believe i mentioned his batting average average.
I actually had a mini segment going in depth about Verdugo and Volpe in their slumps.
But I removed it. Mainly because I felt people fully understood the lack of good performance enough.
@@PurelyBaseballYT I gotchu loved the video
trivino, rizzo, gleyber, lamayhieu, verdugo, all are trash. as is our bullpen and closer.
volpe mvp season coming soon… 🙏
He's been bad for his last 30 games.
1st 62 gms -last 30 gms.
62 290/355/448/803
30 173/203/233/436
He is sucking hard, but he doesn't suck.
The last 3 years we’ve started out great and then fallen apart. “It’s right there in front of us” again….
This team is poorly built. I like Boone but something is going on where he can’t get his guys to play for him. Look at Cora and the Red Sox
Yankees are just shallow, plain and simple. You get the occasional Severino, Gil or that awkward pitcher that no one likes, but they don't sustain. The offense would be Detroit Tigers level were not for Soto and Judge.
Liking Boone is kind of beside the point! I agree he is likable but is he effective? I think not. And if he simply defers to their saber-metric department then yanks saber-metric department is bad.
Any help from 3rd base coach????
Cause Baboon is too much of a friend-boss. I like him but he has no balls. He needs to put some boots on and be harder on these kids. Same with the coaches. These guys make millions upon millions of dollars and get pandered like babies. At the same time, it's 2024 and they're afraid of offending them, especially with the BS union. Same goes for most jobs in the real world, but that's off topic. Baseball is nothing without us fans and our $ and the New York Yankees are a PREMIERE team; or so I thought. They need a change. Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results every year?? It's frustrating and at the verge of disrespect to all of the die hard fans, not just the Yankees.
@@PROGNOSTIC4TORon the subject of “Premiere Teams”, at least you’re better off at the moment than the Lakers.
14:29 "Anthony Volpe's 21 game hit streak, only missing 1 away from the Yankee's franchise record..." Dude, this has to be a joke; Ever heard of Joe DiMaggio!!!????
@@maxwellpruner2168 Thank you! Had me screaming at my screen as well
Came here to say that.
@@stewartwattson5386yeah. 21 is 35 games short of Gherig's hit streak.
@@BryanRainey not gherig.
The issue with the Yankees is that they are way to top heavy. After Verdugo easy outs... Their starters are starting to falter. The need to balance everything out better.
*too top heavy. “To” and “too” mean completely different things.
Yankees starting to realize they can’t bully the league anymore. The fans and owners are really confused as to why lol. Everyone can spend as much as them now plus the ones who can spend more also have great farm systems.
How can you develop a great farm system?
@@TiagoGomez-hb9te Wdym?
Its not a slump. This is BC ball. There's nothing behind the curtain. No depth in the pen or on the bench. Injury prone, high salary players. Horrible player development. This is just what cashman does.
Yeah, Yankees are never winning with that strategy
Did he say that a 21 game hit streak was only 1 off from the franchise record?
Laughs in Joe DiMaggio.
@@TheFrankOpsShow-vk3dw right lol
I thought I was trippin 😂😂
Yankees are finding out that just dumping money into players isn’t enough anymore. Whether they acknowledge that and reconstruct or just keep banging their heads against a wall, who knows.
The Yankees seems like a toxic team internally speaking
As a Yankees fan I feel like this has happened four years in a row. Beginning of the season is great then for one month the team completely collapses
Well it did happen last year
When you rely on two players to be the core of your offense you are destined to have inconsistencies. Not saying its all on Judge and Soto for this slide, but when your offense relies on 2 players to produce and then your pitching comes back down to earth you are not gonna be able to consistently win. They will get back on track but this is a big flaw in their team.
@@Bubby0304 Absolutely MAJOR. No idea how Cashman went into the season thinking that it would work either.
In a postseason scale, relying on only two players wont work. Plus, Judge has bad career stats in the playoffs.
@@Fragger89 That doesn't change anything I said
It is so crazy that Yankees are 3-14 in the last 17 games
Don’t get used to it I have a feeling that little scuffle yesterday was the spark they needed. Yanks 2024
sorry, the Orioles have been the team that has COLLAPSED, lost five in a row and 7 of last 10 games.
@@jimnfl7134 well we just won yesterday so like actually it was 6 in a row
@@jimnfl7134 that’s my team so keep the hate down
@@ShelleyLevyMusic cap
At least your team is 84%, not 54%.
21 games is one away from the franchise record? Didn’t DiMaggio have a 56 gamer?
Haha yes he did.
My bad 100 percent. The hit streak record he was 1 away from, was DiMaggio’s hit record BEFORE 25 years old.
As a Red Sox fan I can say I throughly enjoyed this content sir.
sox wild card exit gonna hit like crack
same bro
@@saulgoodmans2009😁
@@saulgoodmans Yanks getting swept keep u up like meth
as an Os fan I agree
I don’t think I’ve seen a more mediocre player get an unnecessary amount of love than Anthony Volpe. Dude gets so much love at games and yet he’s so painfully mediocre to bad.
One thing that’s not talked about in this video was how the 2022 team was when it entered the playoffs. They suffered a massive collapse in late July throughout August and they BARELY recovered to win the division. They struggled in the ALDS and got completely bodied in the ALCS.
was so funny lol. they went from 61-23 to the worst team in baseball in august, barely beat the Guardians of all teams and then forgot how to hit against the team we all love to hate on
@ashwinranji8790 for them their giant slump came after that Astros Series where Houston for the most part manhandled them (which would be a preview for October)
@@Josh-ut4wv yeah that really started it
Yup looking familiar
Volpes 21 game hit streak is only 1 away from the Yankees franchise record? In what? Because I'm fairly certain DiMaggio's 56 was in pinstripes... can anyone clarify what I'm missing?
Yeah I also was like "huh???" when he said that.
It’s really funny to see Yankees fans cry about going slightly above .500 as a white Sox fan. Until you make the playoffs once every about 20 years then you can complain
They would burn the world down. I'm a Minnesota sports fan so I'd know something about losing.
It’s hilarious ppl say Phillies don’t beat good teams but have best record against teams .500 above 😅
@1:47...Do you think Judge is clean??? Thats hilarious! You could drive a semi through his two front teeth...not to mention a "box head." TWO dead HGH give aways! But you keep your head in the sand
Definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again. Same team as last year except for Soto.
Yankees keep signing pitchers who shine in big ballparks thinking they will shine in the AL East with band box stadiums. Insanity.
LOL! Yep. Yankees Stadium is a difficult stadium to develop pitchers in...
Cashman did NOT win 4 WS. He inherited a winning organization that was built by Gene Michael. Michael knew how to build a balanced team consisting of home-grown talent, free agents and key trades. Cashman only know how to buy the occasional free agent (especially before the last WS winning team in 2009), half of whom have failed to approach expectations. Hal needs to reset the organization with a new management team.
If I made a more so history video on NY, i’d absolutely point that out. Those 4 championships weren’t because he built the team.
@@PurelyBaseballYT Yankees were actually losing under Gene Michael anyway...
they were built by George Steinbrenner (can't spell his name), dude was given some of the greatest players in their primes
You know your team is spoiled when your worst record in 30 years is 2 games above .500💀💀
One thing about Trevino is he is not a defensive liability, he just sucks at throwing guys out, he is the best framer in the league and a 99 OPS+ from the catcher position is actually pretty good, that’s like a 110 OPS+ from anyone else
yeah league average ops+ from a catcher is well above rate, and his wRC+ is actually slightly above average, at 103. in addition to being the best in the league at framing, he'a elite at blocking too; he's worth 1.3 fWAR so far this season (july 10th) which is not bad at all.
Trevino couldn't hold Cals shorts
@@fiercedeitylink2019 ya he’s pretty good, he just rlly gotta work on the throws lol
@@jacklumsden7444 what
@jacklumsden7444 bro who asked 💀 stop riding
The Yankees don't rebuild. They retool. I don't remember the last time the Yankees picked in the Top 10 of picks, traded for the future. They trade prospects for who they want, buy who they want. If your "worst" is 82-80. Then you need to be thankful. Because some people have been waiting DECADES for their team to even taste the playoffs.
RUclips Baseball videos just hit different 👌
😤🙌🔥
6-27 since our 50th win is absolutely sickening to look at, I just want something, ANYTHING TO HAPPEN to get us back on track
Volpe had a 53 wRC+ in June. He’s a good defender but you’re giving him too much credit with the bat
You could say that the yankees are the MLBs version of the dallas cowboys.
14:32 😮😮😮 22 game hit streak? being Yankee record? Pretty sure Dimaggio had a 56 game streak.
Sorry, the Orioles are the TEAM that has COLLAPSED, lost 5 in a row.
Soto's walk total was almost identical to his strikeout total in 2033.
Nothing is organic in MLB anymore. A few teams have that feel but the Yanks are the furthest from being organic. They'll never work.
The Phillies feel organic at least in soul
@@WheresMyInhaler Yep, I'd say them and the O's have that organic feel being great teams. The ones they hype up like the Yanks are the farthest from organic. Dodgers are the most non organic out of them all. They make me wanna puke with all their additives and preserveatives lol
Hearing the Yankee's woes make the best feel-good stories.
"Not taking steroids" yeah, right.
Great video!!!
Aaron's "magical" season was brought to you by MLB, that's right MLB, the producers of the Goldilocks baseball that was found to be in use in the Yankees' house more than any other stadium. So, he may have not been juicing, but he did have some help.
10:00 I forgot the Yankees gave all of those guys away for ONE year of Soto. That trade is gonna destroy them next season if Soto leaves NY
Padres are looking really good RN...
Love ur videos man keep it up,hopefully we can get out of this slump somehow
Absolutely! Appreciate you 🐐😤
I called it about two months ago. I knew Baltimores pace was more stable than the yanks. Placed a nice little wager on them to win the East.
Would love to see a Oriels vs. Phillies WS. Entirely possible too
Saying they did a rebuild is a stretch
I don’t know why there are so much people hating on the Yankees in this comment section (I’m a yanks fan)
Fan since 95, I can't get invested in this team until Cash and Boone are gone.
Fan since 95? I bet you became a Cowboys fan around this time too didn’t you ?
@@WheresMyInhaler No, I'm.a Giants fan and a proud NYer.
Yankees fans are wild for whining about being mid for a couple of years when the Pirates haven’t even been decent in who knows how long, and the Mariners go to the postseason every 20 years just to choke
Did he say a 21 game hit streak was 1 away from the record......excuses me. But last I checked it was 56.
2022 was actually a shit Yankees team carried by a historic season. They never stood a chance to reach the World Series.
The team's success you say at 1:35 was "magnificent ". No Yankee regular other than Judge, batted over .261 or drove in more than 78 runs. No player in history earned the title "Most Valuable Player " so convincingly.
I been watching this collapse with a bucket of popcorn
The fans are the best part
@@kevindwyer2064 without a doubt
Rolled a nice blunt and poured a lil shot of whiskey and kicked back and propped my feet up to watch this. I'd watch this is if it was 2 hours long 😂
Remember two months ago when we are saying that the Yankees would have a “good problem “ in too many starting pitchers and an odd man out between Stanton, Verdugo and Dominguez? Holy cow that lasted about a minute and a half!
The Yankees are better in theory than they usually are. Their payroll says they should be better, but the results say otherwise.
It's not a huge surprise when you keep the architects of the mediocre teams of the last 10 years in place.
It really doesn't LOOK like they are built for the big games. On paper that team looks vicious. But then you look over at Baltimore and see how consistent everyone on the Orioles is and it just seems like the Yankees are trying their strategy of "just throw money at it until it works" again. Meanwhile the Orioles still have the best farm system in the league, a roster loaded from top to bottom with talent that they've managed to turn into results. The Orioles only real problem area has been their pitchers and that's not surprising to anyone who's read word one about them. Yet this year, despite over half of their regular starters going down with injury, or still being out from previous injuries, they still managed to have a better record at the break by beating the Yankees the day before the break. Corbin Burnes has been a monster as advertised. And with the other guys all getting closer and closer to getting back into health this team is likely going to start their peak playing right as the playoffs start and will be a problem for everyone. The Yankees though seem like they could crumble before they get that far. I still think they'll finish 2nd in the AL, as that much talent shouldn't ever finish lower in any division.
God Stephen A is annoying. Why does he need to shout everything. We're right here bro. We can hear you.
For real bro sounds like a preacher lmao like damn we're not gonna hear you any less if you use your inside voice 😭😂
The Red Sox exposed them in that series when they stole 6 bases in one game.. Its been downhill ever since for the Yanks.. Sox were like 2 games over .500 and now, weeks later after the slide, the Sox are out of first by 5 games.. Trevino going down with an injury ia a perfect chance to bring in their prospect catcher..
Awesome video dude
Thanks brother 🙏
This was a amazing video to watch man, really enjoyed it, you earned a sub! Hopefully the Yankees start to play well again because I go to NY next week and I'm going to see a subway series game in the Bronx
As a mariners fan, their playoff streak sounds like a dream. Not winning since 2009? I wish
The New York Yankees face a significant challenge with their bullpen, particularly with the closing role. The closer's job is to seal victories and maintain leads, and when this role is compromised, it affects the entire team. Recently, Yankees' starting pitchers have given their all to secure leads, only to see their efforts squandered by an unreliable closer, impacting their morale and performance. Frequent blown saves are demoralizing and have shaken the team's confidence, disrupting their momentum and making it difficult to build winning streaks crucial for playoff contention.
Clay Holmes has shown flashes of brilliance but is not a reliable high-stakes closer. His inability to close games consistently is hurting the team. In the playoffs, every game is crucial, and the margin for error is minimal. The Yankees need a proven, reliable closer who can handle high-pressure situations and deliver consistently to stabilize the bullpen and restore team confidence.
Additionally, holding onto LeMahieu and Torres past their prime has been detrimental to the team's performance. To have a shot at the playoffs, it is imperative that Cashman addresses these issues quickly. Acquiring a dependable closer, bolstering the starting rotation and middle relief, and making tough decisions regarding underperforming veterans are necessary steps.
Yankees also badly need players who are able to put the ball in player and get on base. The team isn't clutch at all...
Props on the video man, great insight backed with facts.
Thanks man. Always trying to improve 👍🏻🔥
I'm just hoping my Guardies don't collapse like the Yanks are doing now...
Better constructed roster
Are you serious dude? 22 game hitting streak being the franchise record? You've never heard of Joe DiMaggio and his 56 game hitting streak?
The yankees are lokethe lakers
Media hyoe with no delivery for 15 years.
Yankees have so much talent in the minors it sucks to have people like DJ and Rizzo. I've grown to love Rizzo too and it sucks to see his decline
Cubs legends
They’re well over .500, have the same wins as the Dodgers, and a couple off the most wins in mlb.
Yankees fans are wild. Teams have flaws and losing streaks.
The problem is their division. Baltimore is looking like a powerhouse for the foreseeable future. Their stacked farm system is going to carry them for a few years. If new ownership can find a way to make good smart trades, it’s going to be hard to get past them
Volpe was 35 games from the franchise record.
I. F’n. Love. It!!!!! Keep it coming
When you say Yankees franchise record hit streak, you mean for Shortstops, right?
Got my sub. Love the video
Super glad to hear that 🔥
can't wait for the video coming out later this summer titled, "How a wannabe "smart" youtuber ended up looking more dumb than Jake Paul." LOL
@@AngryChair74 by explaining the teams decline from best record in the league by far, to all of their weaknesses glaring in the summer months? 😂 History is history, and THAT is what happened to the Yankees.
I expect them to finish with a great record. but for the postseason to be another year of let down, due to the weaknesses we saw displayed during this stretch.
Our problem is that the front office always gets players that are injured during trades
If they need a catcher they should got for Martin Maldonado from the White Sox. I bet they’d let him go for cheap
Not a good bat but great a throwing guys out running for second
Do you edit your own videos or do you hire one? These videos are so clean man. Amazing job!
@@ThatBaseballGuy13 Thank you brotha.

It’s been the same year for the Mets but in reverse. They looked dead in the water a month ago and now they’re rising from the ashes
Don't give me false hope for the Mets...
mets are gonna collapse though
I think it all depends on Nimmo. If he can complete his career year they have a shot but if he falls off they’re done
Yeah I agree
Even with Juan Soto they still have a TERRIBLE lineup
Who the fuck actually thought or thinks the Yankees are or were the “best” team? NOBODY
didn't look anywhere near as good as the Phillies or hell the Guardians are better.
And yet people were saying the Yankees were the best team in baseball and the Phillies were frauds interesting
It is the same old shit every season. Nothing changes - homerun or bust. They need to get away from the homerun guys and get guys that put the ball in play and get on base. They are not clutch, have not been clutch for many seasons now. I would love to see Hal sell the team and then have a complete rebuild of the entire management team. GM, manager, all bench couches and bullpen. pitching.
Never gonna happen lol
@@JustMeELC I know.. But it is nice to dream
