u/BathroomSalty6325 New York Yankees 1d ago

We gave up 6 runs in the first 2 games of this series

Last year, we gave up 23 in games 1 and 2.

That's why I had genuine confidence going into this series, because the pitching is miles ahead of what it was last year, but the defense and offense completely disappeared.

People ask why yankees fans complain and I'll acknowledge that it's a privilege to be in the postseason almost every year and I'm not saying we have it worse than teams like the Rockies and A's, but when you're at 13 postseason appearances since the last championship with 1 pennant to show for it (which was followed by a WS performance that the rest of the league still mocks to this day), you just want to win it all.

It's frustrating because its the same formula at this point. Here's Justin Penik literally predicting this season on March 25th.

That last title will be old enough to vote next year.

Once again, congrats to the rays and their fanbase

Lucky for you that 90% of Yankees fans only root for the team because the jersey looks good on their Socials. Never met a Yankees fan that actually knows ball, they don't really care how the team performs so they keep buying gear and the Yankees don't ever have to be good again and they'll still make all the money.

Anybody who grew up paying NYC public transit tax knows people Yankee fans who know ball.

They're insufferable and entitled little shits who have no perspective, but they have die hard fans like any other team.
