I have a feeling tomorrow, we can begin the discussion on where do the Yankees go from here to get back to the World Series next year.

Looking at next year, every spot needs an upgrade except for Jazz and the OF. And that's IF Soto re-signs. So close but so farrrr awayyyyy

It's not just the players on the field though; it's the coaching staff. Rojas needs to be let go. He has terrible takes sending runners home. Torres became the most thrown out player at home in MLB this year and got thrown out once in the playoffs. No one should have sent Stanton last night. The pitching and batting coaches are nobodies with zero MLB playing experience. And then there's the crappy manager.

The Dodgers are exposing the Yankees in every way in one-sided World Series

3 New York Yankees to blame besides Aaron Judge, Aaron Boone for Game 3 no-show

Welp...... I feel so letdown by this team now. Got my hopes up and just punched right in the junk.

Judge is going to go down as the greatest regular season player who is a ghost in the playoffs. Just small in the moment.

Boone needs fired, he absolutely has mismanaged this team and bullpen too many times. I've never wavered in my opinion on AB.

This showing in the WS makes me less optimistic about Soto wanting to return to the Yankees. I really thought we had a shot to lock him down emotionally with a great run, but this curb stomping from the Dodgers doesn't really leave him with a great final impression.

We have holes still, we don't have a 1B (current or future) and a Yankee 1B hasn't hit a home run since July, that's pathetic.

I'm just so defeated on this team right now

Judge has been completely lost since getting to like 55hr and outside of fluke 9th inning hr, nobody below Stanton is going to get a hit.

As I believed all season but then fell for it myself, we were truly overrated as a team. We can go on and on about this World Series and the mistakes we made (the icing on the cake for me is Austin Wells pinch hitting last night and then staying in to hit again). Boone really needs to go.

So many holes. Let Verdugo go, replace with Jasson. Let Gleyber go, I can't take another year of his boneheaded fielding and base running mistakes. Find a new 1st baseman or teach Spencer Jones to play 1st. Trade Nestor and replace him with a stud starting pitcher, someone dependable.

And if possible, find a taker for Rodon. He crumbles under the NY pressure.

Eh Rodon pitched some good games this post season. The issue is the lineup is super weak especially compared to the Dodgers. Yankees need to one up them and go with a 500M payroll.

No inspirational anything to say, one team showed up for the World Series and one team coaches and all except for 2 maybe 3 players showed up. It’s been a season I didn’t expect a World Series appearance but unfortunately that exposed lots of weaknesses for the opposition to exploit next year. Was at the AT and T place last night getting our phones upgraded and it took longer than expected. I was watching the game there thinking to myself they really are looking defeated. Was there long enough to see Stanton get thrown out and I was screaming hold him in the phone place. Rojas has to go and so does Boone Boone’s inept managing in this World Series cost us at least having a chance and even though they might’ve still lost he sapped too much energy out of this team with his bad decisions. I will watch tonight might post during the game but I really don’t think I will have much to say.

They gave up after game 1. You knew right then there was no chance they were winning this series.

There's certainly no way to prove cause and effect, but cheering a guy who needs a shot in the arm certainly can't hurt as compared to boo'ing the guy.

Of course, different scenario here unfortunately, Turner's thing happened in the midst of a season, whereas the Yankees are in the series down 3-0, so they don't have the luxury of time to get these areas improved. It's win or go home now.

Hoping the Yankees can make it interesting - it's a great World Series matchup - unfortunately, the Yankees have gone cold at the worst possible time.

It was in the early aughts 2002? the great Derek Jeter started off 0/50 or something like that and even Jeter got booed in Yankee Stadium.

The blaming Boone is tired and lazy. Its Boone's fault Gleyber lets Ohtani get to third in game 1? It's Boones fault Soto is a butcher in RF? It's Boone's fault Cole happily walked off the mound in Game 1? It's Boones fault they don't hit fastballs thrown for strikes? It's Boone's fault Rizzo outsmarted himself and didn't go to 2nd in game one? They've scored 7 runs in 3 games. Blame Boone all you want blah blah blah.
As lopsided as this series feels, if they won game 1 things would feel totally different.

Yes agreed, when the manager brings in Nestor Cortes in that situation that was more likely to fail that was our sign.

Boone is responsible for the sloppy play. He's created a climate where players like Cole don't tell him to eff off I'm staying in. Also, we're really going to have fat joe out there but not let players have facial hair? When you put a guy like him out there you're no longer a classy org.

Fans believe that every player has that DNA to excel when the games are extremely weighted. They don’t call the season regular because it’s at the pinnacle of pressure. Some players thrive, others wilt and some hide in the shade. It’s tough for some to be negatively critiqued when being pampered throughout their career.

The Fat Joe thing was weird. If they're not a "classy" organization, wouldn't that be the climate for Cole to tell him to eff off? I think a lot of what you're saying goes much higher than Boone.

I think you meant Mike Trout. At least Judge gets to play in the playoffs.

We’ve seen too much of Boone’s managing give away winable games. Yes every scenario you brought up above is true but they still even after all those bad plays, base running and at bats had a chance to salvage the game and he brought in Nestor Cortes who hadn’t pitched since September 18th and was coming off of an injury. In the high of a leveraged situation Tim Hill would’ve been the smarter choice at least he was pitching decent. He might’ve also blown it but we will never know.

Running through the playoffs and one bad pitch choice in game 1, and all of a sudden they're overrated?

I agree Nestor should not have been there. Would it be that crazy to ask him to not throw a belt high fastball inside to a lefty and give up a 400 foot home run?
Nestor is there to get lefties out. I still agree that that wasnt the spot but he's still only on the roster to get a lefty in a big spot. If not then put Berti on the roster to maybe steal a base.

Boone is not going anywhere. The team got 1 hit till the 9th inning of game 2, and shutout until the 9th last night. That's not on Boone. They will clean house with coaches again and maybe even Blake this time but save the Boone should go stuff, unless there's some unrest in the locker room we don't know about, it ain't happening.
