The 2023 Yankees Experiment Failed (And It Could Get Worse) 

Aren’t u a padres fan? Seriously I think the padres failed a whole lot more than the Yankees

Yes. Very similar types of failure. I’m making a Padres video soon and it will be more in-depth than this one

Who cares the arrogant fans still show up and make the ball club profit

The problem is having talent is one thing being able to develop that Talent on the other hand that's the hard part and that's what separates the good teams from the ones that don't know what they're doing

Boo they’re overpaid divas - boooo!

@@mg659er Who cares you're clearly on the spectrum.

Yankee's have a FO problem in the worst way. They still think they can just buy championships while all these smaller market teams run circles around them.

Ah, another person who understood and recognized this.

To be fair some of that is on the manager. When to bring in a reliever in during a tight game is a crucial skill to have. If you bring him in the middle of a mess with a hot hitter up, you're only setting him up for failure. I'm of the opinion that you should bring in your pen before the starter gets into trouble. The middle of the bullpen is always the weakest part of any team, so how you manage it is a huge part of your success during a season. I think the Yankees just had a down year this year... Happens.

Ehhh, I disagree. As someone who watches almost every game, the bullpen was used more than any Yankees bullpen I’ve ever seen in team history. Besides Cole, no one on the Yankees staff could get reliable innings and the starters rarely if ever went 6 innings, and were lucky to get even 5. The bullpen was tasked with getting 15+ outs almost every non-Cole pitched game. The Yankees were also a team who used Openers since they had so much bullpen depth. In my opinion the Yankees bullpen was a massive weapon and not overrated at all as you’re implying. The Yankees starters stunk last year and the bullpen is why they didn’t finish 15 games under .500. Let’s not forget the Yankees had the second-lowest batting average in baseball, 25th in runs, and the game was effectively over whenever the other team scored over 5 runs. Letting inherited runners score is more of an indictment on the starters constantly getting stuck in the 5th and 6th innings, and it’s very unfair to act like the bullpen “blew” games frequently. I’d like to know their inherited runners scoring ‘rate’ and not just a cumulative sum. EDIT: after checking the stats, the Yankees bullpen had the third-highest Left On Base percentage in baseball at 75.2% (the higher the rate the better, you might have mistakenly assumed this to be the opposite), only behind the Astros (76.6%) and Brewers (76.4%). The Rockies had the worst Left on Base rate at 66.6%. So your original post is BS. The Yankees pen also had the 2nd lowest HR rate in the MLB, only behind Baltimore, so they rarely ever obtained much damage. There's no way you're a Yankees fan and/or you didn't watch last season, lol.

@@chrisMoutkastragtop That's factually incorrect though. The Yankees Bullpen had the third-highest Left on Base percentage in baseball, meaning they stranded runners at a very high rate. Please correct your original post to not mislead people.

@@willpomeroy7711 The Rockies had the worst bullpen. The Rockies IS% was 39% in 2023. The Yankees was 36%. The LOB stat is also deceptive. The bullpen was overused, but when you have to rely on second rate retreads because your best guys are always hurt, your results will suffer.

Yeah without Judge the Yankees couldn't hit to save their life. Then Rondon was a shell of himself this year after coming back from his injury... and Servino wad horrible this year

The Yankees died when the Red Sox stole their souls in 2004. They have a single world series in the 20 years following the most embarrassing pennant loss in MLB history.

Gene Michael, also known as Stick Once he got sacked after George came back, the farm stopped producing. By 2001, the Yankees were back where they had been and have been ever since-buying big on expensive, aging, injury-prone stars to somehow make up for the expensive, aging, injury-prone stars they already had.

@@warlordofbritanniait’s monument park. They ain’t knock down the old stadium.

They won a World Series in the current stadium’s inaugural season. I agree with everything else you mentioned though.

@@MrDiaz5 yup, and then they haven't even made the series 1 time since then. the red sox have more rings in the 2000's then the yankee's do. knocking down the cathedral is a huge factor in this, you cannot deny that.

The yanks have a single series win in the 20 years following the time I watched my Sox embarrass yall in the OBJECTIVELY most humiliating pennant loss EVER. We got 4 in those 20 years. Hey 🖕

Both Rizzo and Rodon are DAMAGED Goods. Both came with Bad Backs. You take a BIG chance acquiring Damaged goods.

But Rizzo was never diagnosed with a concussion. If you ask me, his symptoms are more like long covid--which is real. He seems much better now (I guess). But let's face it, he hasn't been a high avg. hitter since he was a Cub.

The closest RF wall still in Boston tho lol

It's almost like that's why its built so high up 🤔

@@6tiple6ix6afia is this in response to me? Because you didn't @ anyone else. And we're talking RF so green monster doesn't matter But I'm confused because Yankee stadium wall height is completely average....

Some of us watch the Jets every offseason so it can't be that awful

@@sjlbean .....I had met a Yankees fan at the museum I work in and he tells me that he would kill himself if they had a 100-loss season. That was literally what he told me.

They have been asleep since October 2004 🧦

So many ppl have

Because Arizonas story is better

@@igotflavors not really. When you consider the O's miniscule payroll and the fact that they play in the toughest division in the sport it's pretty insane what they were able to accomplish. They just slumped at the worst time. The DBax were mediocre in the regular season, but caught fire in the post season. Both are great stories, but what the O's did is almost unprecedented.

One of the best stories of the year. It's a shame that the Orioles don't get their due credit.

I’m planning Rangers and Padres videos next, so maybe afterward. I did talk about them a little bit early in the season

He was always injury-prone and mostly a single-tool player. Classic Yankee, tbh.

He was good the first couple seasons and even up until this year there were flashes of his 2017 self. 2018 he basically carried the team himself when Judge and Sanchez were both hurt. But at this point, hes just so lost that I don't know how he could ever come back to form. Only 34 years old too. It's just gonna get worse, they're gonna keep trotting him out there until he's completely devoid of any value, and then cut him at the end of his contract, well past the point where they should have taken action

I actually want to make a video on his whole career like I did with Strasburg. Probably in the next few months

Overrated premadonna

The Rangers technically "bought" theirs....HOWEVER, they also built theirs, so it balances out. Yankees, Mets, & Padres meanwhile? Yeeeaaahhh no.

The goal for Hal is not to win a world series lmao. He only cares about the money in his pocket.

With that being said, bring me Soto and Yamamoto

I think the Angels are even worse in that regard.

Oh they are and if the Yankees keep going down this path, they'll end up surprisingly similar to them. @@Gemnist98

@@Gemnist98Mets are way worse

New York teams are forced to overpay star players to get them to live anywhere near NYC. They can't do that in salary cap sports so the Rangers ( 1 Champ since WWII ) & Knicks ( 0 since 73 ) suck nearly every year.

Dodgers are right there

It was not disrespectful. His Yankees tenure was disappointing: 0.5 bWAR, 0.8 fWAR in his time with the Yankees, .159/.291/.368 in 501 PAs with adjusted stats in the mid-to-high 80s for a corner outfielder that had shown better to that point. Plus, it's not like the gap between making and missing the playoffs for the '22 Dodgers or '23 Twins relied on him.

​@@OWfanhe's a horrible hitter. He's a slugger that's all

@@OWfan Oh I know, it was a joke. I was just dunking on what Cashman said

@@calebos268 Ah, my bad.

Imagine gallo wins a ring what will it change

The best teams that performed in the regular season was a crapshoot in the postseason no one didn’t want to see the Astros win another World Series cause they were cheating

- The best team did win the World Series - It is not the fault of the Rangers or D-Backs that “neutrals” chose to skip out on a good world series. What, did they just want a 2022 rematch? Yawn. - Boring playoffs? So I guess you also skipped the two incredible championship series in addition to the World Series. Cool. Sorry your front runners lost. They should’ve played better. - Keep coping

Thank you! That means a lot

Thank you!

Thank you! Rangers video is my next video and I want to be like my 2015 Royals video

@@SportStorm23 yay

season is too long, injuries are very much a factor, among a million other things... If you take a bet on baseball in the early season you are truly crazy. But putting that aside for a bit, the Yankees are always the World Series winners of the early season because of money, history, popularity...

*since 2001

We see a few teams try to buy a championship, but the Rangers at least made sure they developed some young guys that could contribute while spending huge money. Other big market teams should take notes. Depth and development is just as important as the money you spend on star players.

@@brandondillman5841 that’s a great point, and the Rangers had much better roster construction and depth at the major league level as well.

​@jakekallail1119 as an Astros fan, the series was definitely fun to watch. Going in to WS, did you expect the snakes to go as far as they did and who did you feel was the threat of the team?

That’ll be my next video!

@@RayzeCruxis 100% we’ll deserved for both teams for making it that far.

Cowboys and Lakers too

All of them compared to man united

@@therealjaystone2344 Yet the Celtics keep on chugging, ugh. Though I wouldn’t say the Lakers are THAT disastrous.

What team are you a fan of? Because unless their worst year in 30 years they still had a winning season I don't know what the gift for you would be. Problem is if they made RU-vid videos about whatever team you're a fan of no one would probably watch because no one cares but people do watch anything that is about the Yankees.

@@RandomGuy-wz7zo I think the tone should be apparent. I’m a Red Sox fan

Well he won a chip so, very happy for him.

Plus we have Verdugo.

What about jeter getting injured in the 2012 alcs the team lost it competiveness

Cowboys haven’t been America’s Team since 1994, neither the 49ers haven’t been the best team in the NFL since 1995

@@therealjaystone2344the 49ers have reached the Super Bowl twice ever since and have not been the same

They’re definitely a team I’m thinking about covering, but we’ll see

same

Absolutely, and I am an ASTROS Fan , so Keep it up !!!

As a padres fan I can relate.
