NYY Postseason Chokes | 2010-2020 

This video was painful to make, hopefully it’s no longer valid in a year from now.

Need another decade like this

Add lose to the Red Sox in the Wild Card Game 6-2.

Love that Alex Rodriguez made the last out in consecutive years.

Oh how beautiful this video is

You love to see it

I honestly wouldn’t even put an asterisk on 2017. The Yankees scored THREE runs across FOUR away games in Houston. You can’t just say “ehhh you never know they might have gotten shut out in one of those.” That’s just way too pitiful to blame it on the Astros

As much as I loved 2009-2012 Yankees, we're talking about a team that had the best record in the American League every year, except for in 2010 because they chose to lose at the end of the season because they wanted the Twins. A World Series in 09 is nice but those next 3 years, you would think they would have at least won the pennant in one of those 3 years. I think 2011 is the one they should most regret and that series with Detroit was so close. I think the Game 1 rainout was huge. I'll also never forget in 2010, when Joe Girardi changed the rotation and moved Phil Hughes ahead of Andy Pettitte to start Game 2 on the road in the ALCS, when you know Cliff Lee The Boogeyman is facing you in Game 3. All because Phil Hughes pitched well in like 3 career games at Texas when only just that season they had a huge breakout as a team. They literally just did it the round before to success- CC and Pettitte pitch the first two on the round and then the kid takes the mound at home. I love Joe Girardi but I always thought that was a terrible move. I do not take away from Texas but I will never forget that. 2013 could have been a decent last hurrah but so many injuries to the lineup. Sabathia and Pettitte declined significantly too. 2017-2019 were mostly fun but post-2021, I'm pretty fed up right now

Love how 2019 and 2020 are both walk off home runs both by the same pitcher also

None of these are chokes. They just didn’t win. The team isn’t built for a championship. Hell, they barely made it out of the first round last year to a young Cleveland team that was just happy to be there.

This only gets worse with Cashman & Boone at the helm

Get ready to tack on another ALCS choke

And now make the twins choking in the playoffs vid

You just made this video because you wanted the same thing like the Dodgers, you made a video of the Dodgers, they won the World Series. So you want the Yankees to do the same thing lol

Who actually remembers when the Rangers the Tigers and the Orioles were actually good

As a Mets fan, this video brings me joy

We need an update to this video

Boston pleasuring themselves to this

"Choke" presupposes the team in question loses a series they shouldn't have. These aren't chokes folks. The fact is is that the Yankees metrics in the last 15 years favor home runs every 20 at-bats over hitting for average and advancing the runners (small ball). The home run/strikeout/launch angle metric the Yankees favor will win a lot of games against .500 teams, but unfortunately, strike out offense suffers against teams that have two aces on the staff (playoff teams). Two aces pitch twice in a 7 game series. In other words, they Yankees short play off runs are expected given the way they build their teams.

I’m a yankees fan and this will continue for a long time as long as they have these Arrogant people up top

This has got to be the stupidest Yankee championship drought in history. At least during the Mattingly era, there was no wild card and the teams weren't that talented. But in recent years, the postseason failures have been abundant and embarrassing.

Who’s here after the Yankees got swept by the Astros. 🌟

Wow I forgot that Arod was the final out in both 2010 and 2011 playoff elimination games.

Half of these are the Yankees choking to the Astros. It's fucking GOLDEN

That Altuve homer was the greatest night oml

When they made the wild card this year after loosing 2 games to an absolutely devastated Mets team i knew they were gonna get rocked by Boston.

2021: loses in the wild card game to my Red Sox lol

One of the best videos I ever seen

As a Red Sox fan, there's nothing more beautiful

Add 2022 to this

Funny how many of these I've repressed from my memory. The quest for 28 continues.

It's funny how the Yankees ended up with the same score, Home and Everything in both the ALDS and ALCS in 2010.

This is one of the best videos on the internet

They need to get rid of the home run or strike out brand. That doesn’t work in the playoffs. Until they shift focus to getting on base and capitalize with RISP this will keep happening

2011 - after winning the AL East against the Rays, the Yankees let a 7-0 lead slip away to allow Tampa Bay to win the AL Wild Card on Game 162.

Must have been torcher editing this video!

The BEST part of this is that they go on to choke THREE more years after THIS!

As a Red Sox fan this is great to see them choke every year

Every year since 18 the yankees lose in the playoffs because of pitching. Hopefully we can add arms that are cheap like morton,kluber, and add bullpen arms like colome and hand.

2017 hurt the most, say what you want about 2010-2012 or 2019, but 2017 will forever hurt the most for me

As a Sox fan you love to see it

Getting time to do the annual update for the video

As a Red Sox fan I laughed ao hard when they popped open the champagne for winning the wild card.

As a Yankees fan this is brutal. It's the same thing every year with this team. But at the end of the day I know that Jesus is on the throne and it's just a game

as a sox fan i enjoyed this, and want to see an updated version

may not always win but we're competitive every year

Her: "That's weird, no guy I know has taken my rejection as well as you" Me: "Well, here's why."

This is a cool video! Lol. Love watching the Yankees crumble!

Ugh that was beautiful to watch 🥰

Mets fan here, sending this to my Yankee friend next time he makes fun of me

I thoroughly enjoyed this video

Love how many times it’s Chapman on the mound

2011 irks me the most. Game 5 had so many chances to break the game open and failed

i enjoyed this video very much

The fact that most of these are against the Red Sox goes to show that Red Sox are a better playoff team against the yanks

bro idk why i decided to put myself into pain and watch this. but good vid i guess

Do an Astros postseason choking video 🤣

my favorite video on the internet 😁

That’s what happens when you build a team that lives and dies by the home run, doesn’t play small ball by advancing runners. They don’t hit for contact and strike out a ton. Have not had a fast base runner since Gardner. Built to win during the regular season.

Well, you won't have to worry about 2023. The Yanks choked it away in August to the tune of last place in the division.

They always did but they're still dead-ass good 🔥 🐐

As a Red Sox fan, I love this video

Need an update for the last couple chokes… ahem.. years

Hahaha I was waiting for the 2017 ALCS to show up, loving the asterisk lol 2:34 -Dodgers fan

Love this video more than anything

04 Yankees has to be the biggest choke losing to Boston when there were up 3 to 0 in the ACS championship

Pearce stretching for that last out vs ny was just t as important as his eventual world series mvp that year

As a Red Sox fan this is the best!

Man, I know it’s been two years, but you forgot the Indians/Guardians choking a 3-1 lead in ‘16.

Sometimes I come here and just weep

0:54 🐅🔥

BronxBmbrz, you may want to reconsider updating this to add the 2021 ALWC choke against Boston, and of course the 2022 ALCS choke/sweep against Houston.

Someone tag me in the 2021 updated version😂😂😂😂

Music to my Mets fan ears (We don’t make the playoffs so we don’t have playoff chokes)

Plz do Dodgers next!

Atleast he had the respect to call em the Astros*

Man this is a beautiful video!

This video is why I haven’t been watching them lately

How many times did Arod finish the year with his bat on his shoulder? The least clutch player in baseball history

I give them props for 2017 though

“Daaaaaa Jankees lose!” - Big f*kin papi

3:12 😊 should’ve updated for 2021 when the Sox knocked them out again 🥳

This team need to wake up in the postseason

You put the asterisk on the Astros win in 17, which is ironic because the Yankees were cheating too

This was so satisfying

I don’t count 2012 as a choke, our most important player broke his fucking ankle.

I hexxed em. The curse for the players lifts when they become players on other teams or they retire.

The perfect video doesn’t exi…..

Yankees front office plans on keeping its above average but not championship level teams because they’re good enough to be contenders year after year so they will continue to profit. It’s all about money for the Yankees not championships

No 2017 doesn't deserve an asterisk, you choked

but we are always eliminated in the end

The lesson is thus… Yankees pray for the Twins in the post season Don’t play the Tigers or Astros in the past season. There endth the lesson.

Losing ≠ choking

Some of the teams that beat the Yankees here were beaten by the Giants in the WS lol.

Tigers run from 06-16 was very disappointing in that we never won a World Series, but at least was washed the Yankees in the playoffs a bunch

UPDATE!!!!

I love that you put a asterisk on the series versus the tag wbanging astros versus the yanks lol

Red Sox 6 def Yankees 2 AL Wild Card Game 2021 Yankees choked again they sucks

I love the * in front of the Astros series 😂 Yankees cry 😂 I didn’t know that watching the Yankees lose would make me so happy today 😂 Yordaddy will always be here for you guys 😂 whether we beat the trash can or not we still owned tf outta this franchise and I love to see how hurt you guys are cause Astros may have gotten caught but sign stealing has been a thing for years 😂 😂 why do you think we have the clickers now?

The Hal Steinbrenner era and the decline of Brian Cashman’s Yankees.
