It doesn’t matter if you won 100 games, made the playoffs, developed your young guys: if you’re the Yankees and you lose to the Red Sox, it’s a failure. And vice versa.
I see the Red Sox being our daddy for the next few seasons, since Yankee fans think the only way to win a WS is to buy only hitters and just have shit ptichers
Geoff Thompson Anyone can win a 5 game series? Not the Yankees, apparently...
Truedat but 16/1 @ home catcher pitching that scars error of Judgement playing New York New York. BTW lost wo @ home.
One hundred percent, agreed. You get beat by Cleveland... tough beat, you move on. Houston... they're the reigning champs, you live with it. Boston... it's life or death. Everything is measured by beating THEM. The season was an utter failure.
Yankees are 1-7 in their last 8 playoff games v. Boston, including 0-4 in Yankee Stadium.
We're the Yankees. We lost to the Red Sox in the playoffs. It's a failure. Period.
Girardi should of never been fired. Should of been given one last chance because of what he did last season. The whole narrative of “oh the red sox won 108 games” is bullshit. They won 8 more games than a Yanks team that had basically no production from catcher & first base, lots of injuries etc. Yes the season is a failure.
Girardi was never fire he quiet the yankees
expectation of world series or bust is ridiculous b/c the cards could say the same and the oakland a's could too. those are also franchises that have had alot of success.
littlelosito don't worry my Astros are gonna beat the red sox
I hope the Astros make it through so the dodgers can sweep them anyone who thinks they're taking 4 off the dodgers this time around is an idiot.
The philosophy of hal and hank have been their not aggressive like their dad. they 're hesitant to make to get a verlander sale or even a cole. But they're have had consistency of making the playoffs since they took over in the summer of 06 b.c geogre was ill. Even though the last ring was under them all the main players were George guys.
As a red Sox fan I don't understand why they got rid of Joe girardi
As a Yankee fan I really have no idea either lol
Because it was Cashman’s ego!
Toronto Raptors dumped their coach after finishing 1st in the east but losing in the playoffs. dude is later named coach of the year. sometimes teams just want a change, even if the dude is somewhat successful
Agree. How can anyone say Aaron Boone is better then Girardi.
They said they wanted someone younger to blend in with the younger guys pr something like that. I dont know if that was just like an excuse or something but yeah im a yanks fan and i dont know either
George Steinbrenner would disagree if he were alive today.
Yes it is. The Sox was better, but that Game 3 alone will forever be an embarrassment to the organization of the Yankees lmaooo
Bryan Halstead yes it will. That’s one of the worst ass whoopings in a playoff game ever.
Bryan Halstead always gotta bring up 27 championships 🙄 and yes they are Yankee fans don’t forget especially when it’s the Red Sox lol.
Bryan Halstead and the Red Sox have been way more dominant than the Yankees in this century btw.
Bryan Halstead because it’s a boring argument. Especially when they haven’t won a championship in 9 years.
Bryan Halstead all the fans of the Yankees that watched them in be dominant in the early 20th century are dead lmaoo. Right now everyone’s recent memories of the Yankees, is that their divisonal rival, the Red Sox, have won 3 championships in the past 15 years as opposed to their one.
As someone with an intermediate knowledge of baseball, I have no clue why the Yankees fired Girardi.
The "he's not good with the media" excuse is the only reason I've heard, and that doesn't hold water.
He won games and had the respect of the clubhouse. I still do not get it.
David Hatcher they fired him because he made some bad postseason decisions last year but ur right they still shouldn’t have fired him
@@yuh3277
If that's true, then Boone shouldn't be re-signed!
David Hatcher ur right Boone shouldn’t be re-signed and this is coming from a Red Sox fan
Girardi was fired because he couldnt help the young guys. Last year Betance struggled and instead of Joe helping him work it out, he benched him. This year Betances starts off slow and Boone gave him his trust either way and Betances ended up being our best reliever. Every time a young player struggled Girardi would look elsewhere but Boone knows that they need his help. I didnt always pay off this season but look at Betances, Torres, Andujar, Stanton, Severino, Gary and Didi. They all struggled at some point and came back stronger. Sure it didnt work out with Bird but he hasnt played well for years or been injured.
@@DarthVxderTV
Ok that makes a little more sense.
But that postseason comeback they pulled off when they had zero expectations.......just feels a little premature.
What SAS 💈 is doing to his hairline is down right criminal😂... That man should be arrested & prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law😭😂
And that's nothing to the damage he does to any topic he approaches, or to the sometimes eloquent art of sports broadcasting. The man is a moron.
Nice!!! 100% agree lol!!!
Each time you get eliminated by your hated rival, it is a failure
I dont like NY, but this guy disrespecting Sinatra song as "ancient" triggers me. Its a classic.
It is ancient tho. Classic but ancient.
Francisco Magana that’s so wrong. Sinatra wrote that song less than a century ago. When we look back at history, we call events and places that are “ancient” that have stopped existing for multiple centuries. Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, etc. Calling “New York New York” ancient is just ignorantly exaggerating and disrespecting the song.
Lord Razim it’s a song. R-E-L-A-X.
You miss the point of the whole thing, Vince. His reference to it being ancient is beside the point; he is saying shut up until you have done the thing you are tempted to brag you can do, especially if it is not just you that are responsible for doing it. And I think he is completely correct. It is a dumb thing to do though of course it did not lose us the series, that was due to playing inferior baseball compared with our opponents.
@David Evans
I only meant the guy tone saying it was "ancient" was disrespectful for me.
Just before the series started, Stephen A. said he thought the Yankees were going to beat the Red Sox. Now that's it's over, he says the season is not a failure because the Red Sox are the better team, even though by his own declaration that the Yankees should have won, that would mean the season is a failure.
Stephen A is on fire in this segment. Point after point after point...
The Yankees signed Stanton and everyone proclaimed them World Series Champions of 2018, including the bias NY based national media, yes they won 100 games, but the 2017 Yankees came within a game of the World Series. So a better team on paper that falls out of the playoffs earlier is not a failure? Give me a break!
Red Sox just better
They clearly are better than my Yankees were this year, you have to give them that respect. However, that doesn't change the fact that Cashman didn't do his job by making pitching a priority. As long as he continues to consider Severino an "ace", the Yankees are going nowhere fast.
@@dljtwo plus Stanton sucked
D Jones relax with clearly better. Boone mismanaged this series, and that was clear
D. Jones and Telly both of you are correct.
You could say that, but the Yankees really should have won games 1 and 4 if they got a single hit with runners in scoring position. The Red Sox were doing nothing to add on to tiny leads against the Yankees' bullpen. The Yankees weren't outclassed this series, the chance to win was there, but they squandered it, so it's even more disappointing.
Stephen A hit every nail on the head
Stephen, you’re a good guy but you’re contradicting yourself. At first, you were saying that Boston had no chance against your Yankees. Common’, be serious, you just were a fan.
I love my Yankees but the whole team is full of losers Judge, Stanton, CC, Serverino, Sonny and the rest are all fucking losers and I hope we kept getting our asses kicked
Remembered when Stephen A Smith said “The Red Sox aren’t as good as their record.” The Red Sox just smoked the Yankees. Aaron Boone is a spoiled manager, Yankees should’ve never went to a rookie manager with 0 experience.
Stephen always be saying Boston will lose but we end up winning
As a Red Sox fan I was more happy beating the Yankees as I was the dodgers or astros. It never gets old!
Stephen A's hairline is a failure for sure
Saltyyyy
Yankees are 1-7 in their last 8 playoff games v. the Boston Red Sox
Yankees have 1 (one) World series in 18 years.
Yankees have lost the most playoff games in MLB this century
It is the 21st Century. It's a logical starting point. Just like people say "the '90s" or the '20s.
I'm sure you understand.
Bryan Halstead keep living in the past buddy lol. The Red Sox will continue to produce in the present. That’s like Giants fans bringing up the two Super Bowl wins against the Patriots but have been irrelevant for the last 10 years lol. New Yorkers are funny 🤣
Bryan Halstead Nobody is butt hurt man. New Yorkers only bring up the 90’s because the truth is their team has under achieved in this era. Suck it up and deal with it. Ya think ya should be looked as superior because of past success lol. Ya have been irrelevant. The Red Sox put up over 20 runs in three playoff games in the Yankees house and ya here are still reminiscing about past successes lol. Please keep doing that. The Yankees wanted the Red Sox and were arrogant. Well, they got the Red Sox. And they got their ass kicked lol. So, man up and give respect when respect is due. 3 championships to 1 in this era. That’s reality buddy 🤣
Bryan Halstead So your mindset is to bring up past success every time your team loses? Even when you weren’t alive to witness most of that success? Got it buddy lol. I think your confused with who is butt hurt. Maybe you refuse to accept that the Red Sox own ya in this era. And, guess what? You will actually live to witness most of it. 🤣 #RedSoxNation
@@jway6638 the Yankees have won two world series since 2000 and played in 4
Reminds me of A-Rod. Lost to Boston in playoffs in ‘04 (the year we first got him). And sucked in playoffs
BoardandArrow Stanton , right?
Yea. Puts up some good stats in the regular season. It's just sad
Love when they talk about baseball, its a breath of fresh air
When they traded for Stanton and everyone was saying they’re a lock for the World Series and Max on first take saying they’re unstoppable, emphatically YES a huge failure you lost to your bitter rivals who many thought had no chance at the division.
3:33 Mark Teixeira's smile when Stephen a Smith brought up Joe Girardi. Haha, Mark knows the deal. Legend for sure.
As always, Dominique is wrong.
Judge pissed off Boston, and Boston played that way.
Now let's see if it lights a fire under their ass.
Judge must have also pissed off starting pitchers, J.A. Happ, Severino, and Sabbathia, and let's not forget Boone and his awful managing of the game, and pretty much the entire lineup who couldn't get a hit when it mattered. Yeah, that Judge really pissed them off.
SO DAMN TRUE what he said about Sevy and Stanton
You also considered the Yankees better before the series
MagicKirin1 The only edge the Yankees had was their bullpen. Boston was way better in every category (except bullpen).
I said the same thing about them firing Joe..... idk how true it is but I’m hearing these players are too sensitive (Garry Sanchez)
You didn't said that the other day Stephen. Let's go Sox
They went from being 1 win away to knocking off the eventual champs to losing 3-1 in the ALDS even with the Stanton trade. It was absolutely a failure.
This ALCS reminds me a lot of the 2013 ALCS. Tigers were heavily favored in that matchup with the Red Sox.(Tigers WS appearance the year before). Tigers rotation was the best. Verlander, Scherzer, Sanchez, and porcello. Houston is like that. As a Sox fan this series should be a great one.
SAS is such a hypocrite, how's he gonna say Yankees 100+ win season is a failure when they didn't even reach the ALCS or even force a game 5 and criticize LA when the Dodgers do the same on a bigger stage and are potentially on their way for another World Series appearance? Typical of Smith to play favorites.
Yo yall remember that energy that Stephen a had towards the dead Sox lmao
I keep saying that Severino should use his legs to drive more. With that he will:
1. Increase his velocity;
2. Have velocity later into the game/season/career; and
3. the ball will have more rise.
Stephen...I love you man!
If they had Girardi still be coaching. The Yankees would have beat Red Sox and advanced!
Yankees could sign Patrick Corbin easily. Cashman, I love, I couldn’t tell you there are many GM’s better. But he has to know now we can’t go through another season with that pitching rotation. He has gotta trade for some big players (but not gutting out the team in the process).
Corbin is guaranteed to be a Yankee. They need to trade for DeGrom even if it means to give up Andujar and Sheffield as part of the deal.
bargain bob Maybe Andujar, but he has got to be the main piece. The only reason I’d be fine with that is because we could sign Machado and put him back at third.
@@king_supreme1102 our starting pitchering was a joke. Cash also needs to shop Sanchez for another arm then go get J.T to replace him.
Brayden Wormer but is Machado willing to play third? He’s really good at 3rd but he doesn’t know want to play third. I say wait one more year to get Arenado if the Rockies don’t lock him up I say we have a chance to get the best third baseman in baseball
bargain bob give up Frazier and Andujar bulgur not Sheffield see what Sheffield can give then consider trading him
I’m a yankee fan but I lost respect for what judge did
Word Bet blasting the song ny from frank santara in the locker room
It's definitely a failure, if the Red Sox had lost like this everyone would've been saying that was a failure regardless of how many wins they had this year. You can't let a team come into your home and beat you twice.
Thank you for acknowledging baseball.
I dont hate the Yankees. I sure as hell dont like them, but I respect that team. I know many Yankees fans. That said, it does feel good to beat them when we were supposed to be "a first round exit".
- This one's a mixed bag I guess if you're a Yankees fan; they won MORE games than they did last year under a 1st-year manager, but their postseason run ended EARLIER than it did last season too. Last year's Yankees came from nowhere, won 91 games, won the Wild Card game, rallied to beat Cleveland in the ALDS, & then lead 3-games-to-2 on the Astros but lost Games 6 & 7 back in Houston. This year's Yankees had far greater expectations( which is usually what happens when get as close to the WS as the Yankees did a year ago ), trading for Giancarlo Stanton had everyone anointing the Yankees as the favorites to win the World Series this year. And they won 100 games, which is usually a highly successful year...UNLESS you play in a division where winning 100 games is only good enough for 2ND place & it was your bitter division rivals winning 108 games & completely overshadowing what your team did. Then, on top of that, the Red Sox not only clinched the division title at the Bronx, they ALSO beat the Yankees in the ALDS & won the last 2 games at Yankee Stadium to clinch. So...the regular season was the successful part. But losing to your hated rivals in the Division Series after being anointed early on as the favorites to win the World Series...that was the part where the Yankees came up short. And I guess in New York, what you do or how far you advance in October is what you will be judged upon.
I hate Stephen A Smith, but he has a point about the yankees. My opinion, Cashman has got to go.
Courtney Gibson Jr Shut the fuck up. Ungrateful idiot.
Courtney Gibson Jr everyone is in titled to their own opinion but Cashman has to go?? U may not be I formed about cashman. He’s the reason we have all these bud players. Next year they can go out & sign pitching instead of trading for them.
Rok Morgan unfortunately, there aren’t too many good pitchers that will be on the market. So we will have to trade for someone if we want to compete.
Brayden Wormer yea u have a point, can’t argue that. Hopefully they pick up DeGrom & Morton..... Do u think we need more help with the bats?? Maybe a Manny Machado not sure about Harper because of our outfield already.
Rok Morgan DeGrom would be great. But I have worries because this past season was by far and away his best, so I don’t know if he will top it. And he is approaching 30. A trade for him would be nice though, but I don’t want to make a trade that makes us give up important parts of the team. Patrick Corbin is the best pitcher on the market. He and the Yankees have mutual interest, so I expect that deal to be done quick. We definitely shouldn’t go for Harper. Machado, I would like to have come over and move back to third base. But, then Andujar would have to move to first, which we already have Voit at (hopefully we trade Bird). So if we can have a platoon at first I would want to get Machado.
I agree 1000% with Tex on this one
Stephen A really is the MVP of ESPN
I like that Judge played New York New York, baseball needs a little shit talk, especially between a rivalry as intense as Yankees vs Redsox
They won ONE title SAS. You're treating them like a dynasty.
Make the Mets an offer they can't refuse! Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, Sonny Gray, Clint Frazier & Chance Adams for deGrom
Yankees Starting Pitching Rotation Needs to be Upgraded to be Dominating !! Agree with Stephen on starting pitching.
The season ended early because Yankees starting pitching wasn’t dominating as the Bosox. Brian Cashman fail to get at least 1 or 2 starting pitcher during the off season 2017. Big mistake getting into another 10 year contract with Santon. Cashman should’ve gotten an ace pitcher instead. The Yankees bats went cold at Yankees stadium in the last two games and the Yankees shouldn’t never got rid of Joe Girardi . Joe Girardi took the Yankees further than 2018 Yankees and within one game of the World Series.
It is a failure. To lose that Game 3 in historically bad fashion, it a MAGNA failure.
Man, the only pitcher you can trust is Tanaka. His stuff hasn't been the same since his injury, but the dude is consistent and does not flinch. That said, CC is past his prime, Happ was never really believed to be THAT guy, and severino is way too streaky for my liking. I don't know what the free agent situation is, but the two things The Yankees need are more athleticism and starting pitching. I hope to god they don't get Harper, please spend your money more intelligently.
Sorry, but they're wrong on this one. Our pitching was the least of our problems throughout the whole season and the ALDS aside from Game 3. We lost games and the series because we failed to hit with RISP and that was our main problem throughout the season.
If we had done so we would've won the series and won more than 100 games in the regular season not to mention if we had done that our pitching performance wouldn't have mattered.
However, I do agree that DeGrom would be a nice addition, but I wouldn't give up Torres for him.
This show sure went from the Jalen, Greeny, Beadle show to the Stephen A Smith-and-whoever show in a hurry.
I don't know if their season was a failure, but they way they went out against their greatest rival was disgusting.
Remember when New York didn't suck.
It's a failure in Yankee fans' eyes. As the boss said "If you make the Postseason, your expectation is to win the World Series. If you don't, it's a failure". We have to be better. No excuses.
I want to see Captain Sullenburger land a plane on the East River behind them. That would be cool.
Pitching was a disappointment but every game (except possible game 3 was winnable). Game 1 they left based loaded twice vs struggling relievers and chased bad pitches. Game 3 Severino didn't get a full warm up because the pitching staff didn't get him the starting time, and then they didn't start a reliever to get him a full warm up. And then after clearly struggling giving up 3 runs, they let him come in next inning, then started Lance Lynn, a starter, with based loaded. Then in game 4, Stanton shit the bed. All he needs to do it not strikeout or ground into DP, and he strikes out BADLY.
Stop it Steven A! The Mets would never trade Degrom to the Yankees!!
Yankees season was a huge failure, same as any contender who doesn't win a title. I'm a Dodgers fan, our last 6 seasons have been huge failures. You shouldn't be afraid to admit the season was a failure if it clearly was. Yankees were judged by many to be the hardest team to face in a playoff series and now all of a sudden the Astros and Red Sox were better? Don't give me that Stephen A., you know nothing about baseball, the Yankees season was a failure.
goddamn, stephen a is carrying this network on his back
He said you wet the bed like that 😂😂😂
If all of his new york teams suck, then im sure he will definitely move to LA sooner than later lol 😂😂😂
Bryan Halstead 2014. LA Kings
The Yankees are the only good New York team
The Dodgers won the National League Pennant and went to the 7th game of the World Series. The Rams won the NFC West Division.
Yankees have the prospects and the cash to fix that rotation in 100 days or less. Not worried about them. Houston and Boston will always be there but New York could be unbeatable if they make a couple ballsy moves, and they have the money and the trade pieces to do it.
Man just admit it Boston is better all way around Boston redsox fan here and im glad we took Yankees down yes sir lets go and play harder on the Astros now
But before the series he said the red sox are not the better team. The just talk to hear there voice
How can you say it’s not a failure after going to the World Series last year.They added hitting and pitching this year and lost.
Stanton is Alex Rodriguez of the post season
idc if they won 120 games. If you don't win the pennant at the very least, it's always a failure. The Yankees season was no different than the Mets season.
Steven A. "I won't take a flight to Cleveland because of a connection" Smith!!!! Hahahahahahaha
SAWX!! SAWX!! SAWX!! SAWX!!! PAHK THA CAH EN HAHVAHD YAHD!!!!!!
An ace goes at least 7 innings and occasionally 9. There are standards to being an ace. The Yankees have one former ace at best in Sabathia. I knew we couldn’t go deep in the playoffs.
Yes it was. Especially because of how high the Yankees set their standards.
Yankees weree so flat, Giancarlo sucks, should be dropped to the 7th spot. Girardi would have gotten them to the WS. Trade stanton for degrom. Cashman is overrated and push analytics, boone is a puppet. Girardi was right, he used analytics, but his brain for winning. Girardi was right, Sanchez deserved to be criticized
Stanton sucks so bad, yet you try to trade him for a top flight starter...Sure buddy.
unlisted your dum the mets would never agree to trade staton for derom
Its definitely a failure when you lose to the Red Sox!
Let's face it, the only reason Aaron Boone even has this job is that 15 years ago a flat knuckleball found its way into his crosshairs at a very opportune time. What else about this guy even merited a job interview?
Good, I'm happy the Red Sox trolled back. Maybe it'll light a fire under these guys for next year. Boston gave them enough chances to win that series and they didn't take advantage. Champions take advantage.
If you are the Yankees and you have expectations, and you don't win the World Series. Your season is a failure.
That kid it lying, I call bullshit. If he plays pro sports and in a playoff series, his team loses and the other team ,..trolls, taunts, laughs at your team, you sure as hell would take it to heart and go out the next game playing your best and play and work harder to win ...stand your ground attitude from the Sox is commendable..sit down young man..
Who does SAS hate more? The city of Boston and its New England teams? Or Lebron James?
Why didn't the Yankees start Tanaka game 1?
“We want Boston” lol same
New york new york 😂go red sox!
Boston cheats
This off season Yankees need to get starting pitchers.....
Get up is so bad they need hosts of other shows on almost every single day to carry them.
THE GAME 3 LOSS IS THE WORST... LUIS SEVERINO STAY UP UNTIL 4TH AND THEN CHANGE BY LYNN.. ITS A DISASTER
Yes it is
This should be titled "muppet gives inaccurate predictions"
There starting rotation was a failure. I relly hope Stnton doesn't turn into the new A-Rod in the plaayoffs
Stephen A Mouth, you are the one that pissed off the Sox with your "They're not as good as their record" talk! If you want to point a finger, you better start with yourself! You wanted them to prove it to you, well now you have it!
The First Take Pre Show
I agree with steven a smith...
He walked judge in four.......pitches, not at-bats
Ya lol
Stephen A made an extraordinary point about judge playing the song if girardi was around.
I don't think he dares to do that. It's disrespectful and a guy like girardi who's been a manager for 10 years with the biggest baseball franchise doesn't let a player represent his team by doing something like that cos judge was making the Yankees look disrespectful by doing that.
And judge is an incredible player let me say that first only. But he's been in the majors for 2 years ! He's an MVP caliber player and an amazing talent but I'm sorry he can't be doing that.
These players have been too chill and lethargic all year. Look at the stretch of bad games they've been having during the regular season. When they don't hit home runs this team just can't score. Boone isn't a bad manager but u need to have the right balance between being relaxed and being demanding
And by the looks of it I don't think there's one Yankee player out there who even is worried about upsetting Boone at all.
Joe was perfect for this team but cashman wanted to get someone who's more relaxed and these problems won't change next season and by just giving Boone better starters doesn't make him A better manager
Need to state that it was the first october meeting since 04 so Yankees fans deserved committed passionate payback win. Whos ur daddy now?
Not a failure but he pickled Yankees to beat Boston? Wrong sport Stephen A s
Yup....I miss Joe Girardi. Aaron Boone isn’t a good manager, it should’ve been Joe Girardi there!!!!
Stanton is not made for New York, he was no where to be found when needed.. he doesn’t have it
Rookie manager/coach, just certain team dominate one another!
But Aaron Judge went 1 for 7 after game 2..
