And yet instead of talking about how good the Astros are, or how they’ve climbed back from the scandals to build the most consistent team in the league, they focus on their darling Yankees.
Them Yankees was celebrating Judge home run season and the media twerk it up making it a distraction instead of taking care of business. To get swept at Yankees Stadium is just down right pitiful.
As Houston native and Astros fan all my life... you people don't get it! You can't buy your way into a world series with huge payrolls. Astros does it for pennies on the dollar. You have to revamp the entire org from top to bottom. Build up the analytics... build up the farm system.... make conservative but necessary trades during the season... paying Garrett cole $300 million to choke. you people are out of your minds if you think throwing money at the Yankees is some how going to magically fix their losing record. This team is stuck in the 90s. Everything and I mean everything about this team is stuck in the 80s and 90s. You have GOT TO GET REAL Yankees! Stop the excuses... clean house and rebuild the team using modern 2022 methods that work

The Yankees have too many flaws compared to the Astros! The Yanks have NO closer in the bullpen! Their starting pitching is a crapshoot outside of Cole! Their lineup is too dependent on home runs! They strike out a ton! They have NO speed in the lineup and don't manufacture" cheap runs". They need more contact hitters that have decent on base percentages and fewer strike outs.

They believed in all the press releases that talked about how good they were, Boy did they get woke up about who has the best team.
The Yankees are a great team on paper but their offense lives and dies by the home run. I'm more concerned about why the stands were so empty during a elimination game. The fans in NYC only love their teams when they are winning.

As a yankee fan, maturing is realizing that as good as the Yanks were this season, this team is not built to win it all. They live and die by the home run, and outside of Cole and Nestor, the pitching staff is horrible. Meanwhile, the Stros got the recipe to win it all: a great pitching staff, contact, and baserunning. Long story short, until they actually fix their issues, I do not see the Yankees winning a chip in the near future.
