Lifelong Yankee fan here. That 5th inning will haunt me forever...

Congrats to the Dodgers.

[Lol-x]

Why....just why did this happen to the Yankees?

[Cru Jones]

Ugh…..

Congrats to the Dodgers. You’re welcome.

Please educate me, I have been seeing that fan rip the ball out of the fielder’s glove. I know nothing about baseball, but what happens in that scenario? The fielder caught the ball, was interfered with by a spectator and drops the ball.

This was pretty shocking to me; I have no interest in who won or lost but it seems well out of line for someone in the crowd to interfere in that way? Is much being made of this, or not really?

[1st amg]

It looks like the biggest signing in baseball has already paid off. The Dodgers will make their money back. Crazy

The batter was called out - officially ruled Fan Interference, the two guys that grabbed the glove got tossed from the stadium.

Good, thanks for replying.

[AzPaul]

Dodgers kept coming up big and the Yankees were beaten in all phases.
For this Series, the better team won, simple as that.

You got that right. Congratulations LA

[GB-man]

The moment judge took his eye off that ball all the Yankees faithful…oh no. I cannot believe how many errors they committed subsequently. Baseball is such a fickle momentum ride.

Thought I was watching a 'Little League' game !

!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to the Dodgers for playing fundamentally sound baseball in all phases. As I have said from game 1 the only Achilles heel I saw the Dodgers exhibit was far too many walks, otherwise they are a complete team A-Z.

The Yankees on the other hand... Right or wrong time to clean house enough is enough. Boone's contract is up your not "firing" him your going in a different direction. These guys need reps on fundamentals, situational awareness training, baserunning 101 etc. Tighten it up guys you probaly gave the Dodgers 8+ free runs in this WS if not more - SAD

[TNT009]

As a Padre fan, I curse the Spankee's... What an epic choke, Judge came up infantile small!

[SearChart]

I was at In N Out when they won last night, an interesting experience to say the least

Yes that pretty much sums it up.

5 unearned runs by the Dodgers brought to light the defence shortcomings of the Yankees.
Offensively, they Yankees didn't fire like they should have and Judge was astonishingly poor to average.
All season when Yankees would have a bad game, like losing to the White Sox, Boone would fudge some excuse and almost never ripped into any player or that they were going to be hitting the training track hard. I'd like to see a change of direction and philosophy.

I watched his postgame interview after Game 5, and he was asked very directly about his free agency in one question, and if he felt the Yankees had any advantage in the free agency market considering his experience with them this year in another question, and to me it was VERY clear. NOTHING about his answers and hesitation when asked would give me ANY confidence that Soto loved his time as a Yankee or that he genuinely hoped he would stay a Yankee. That man is out to get paid and he made sure to not close the door on any team with a budget coming to offer him an Ohtani type deal by speaking too lovingly of the Yankees. In fact, there wasn't any love in his response regarding the Yankees. If I was watching that response as one of his teammates, I would have called it a bit brutal.

well the good thing is Soto was wearing a yankees hat and t shirt in that interview. Cole dropped all his astros gear and wore a Boras corp hat in his final post game interview so that to me would signal wanting out

he's definitely after the money though and he's not gonna take a discount to play somewhere. he probably saw what Judge went through during his negotiations and figured there's no reason to say he wants to be a yankee. Judge said and clearly meant that and it still took so much back and forth to get him what he wanted, even after he had a massive deal on the table from the Giants

It's cutthroat indeed.

[Joearch]

Dodgers might go get Soto. He wants to be on a winner.

NAILED IT!!!

CHANGE OF DIRECTION & PHILOSOPHY

What scares me is no matter the change of direction the philosophy seems to have not changed in 15+ years. They really beleive sluggin will fix all errors, how did that work out for you?

They can get rid of Boone and that might help fundamental and in game pitching calls hopefully BUT the big BUT is if they continue to farm/train/massage that the only thing that matters is an uppercut swing and striking out is cool they will continue to win 90 games on average each year and get abused in the playoffs.

It really makes no sense to me how this cannot finally be as clear as day to Yankees front office! WAKE UP the experiement is OVER PLEASE GOOD LORD

PS - Thank You Cole for pitching gems, you had one mental error but you did exactly what you were suppose to do in those moments! You earned a pass from me anyhow.

To be fair…. They were a bad move (pitching Nestor in that spot in Game 1) and a bad inning (the horrible errors) from being up 3 games to 2, heading back to LA.

They also were the best AL team this year…

That’s what makes the loss so frustrating… it was a very winnable series that the Yankees gifted to the Dodgers.

[austinp]

I would be calling for a front office change if my team consistently spends among the highest and has 1 World Series loss in 15 years to show for it.

Let’s be real here. The Yankees did not gift the series. The Dodgers won in every aspect of the game. LA clearly the better team. NY totally overrated, and it showed.

[Krash]

Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, we're just as miserable as Yankee fans...

For much of the season, the Phillies looked like the best team in baseball. But it was always frustrating how their bats would suddenly go silent for 2 or 3 games in a row. During the regular season, you can overcome that. But in the playoffs, that is catastrophic...

And then they have two all-star relievers that were lights-out all year (Strahm and Hoffman). In the playoffs, they couldn't get anyone out...Ridiculous...

I respectfully disagree…. IMHO, the Yankees lost more than the Dodgers won, for the reasons I wrote just above, but that’s my view. But for that sh@t call by Boone in Game 1 and the crazy, once-in-a-lifetime set of blunders in one inning in Game 5, the Yanks would have been up 3-2, with the Dodgers’ shoddy pitching in LA and Judge waking up for Games 6 & 7.

But that’s all would-a, should-a. The Dodgers won.
