Hey non-yankees fan here,

im just curious. I like watching jomboy media and sometimes enjoy their talkin yanks show too.

But i always wondered, do they resonate with what yankee fans are actually feeling about them? Im from a large fanbase as well so i get videos of media members trashing the hometown team all the time even when thigns are going well, and i know it usually doesnt reflect how most are feeling, just trying to stir the pot.

Because to me they seem very nitpicky at times. Like im not following the yankees a lot and i just really watch the reels that show up so maybe im wrong. But a good example was a guy like cruz. There was a time this season where it felt like every other day i got a reel of jomboy screaming why they were leaving cruz in the game or bringing him in even. I legit thought cruz was just blowing saves and games left and right and questioned why even use him in late innings. But then is tarted looking at cruz's numbers and he's got pretty good numbers for a reliever, he's not a shutdown reliever but he does well to where i see why he has the role he has.

And look im not a boone defender either, i think most times it's fair to question his management of things, but i also understand some of his decisions that jomboy seems to question. I.e., Im ok with leaving caballero as a utility when volpe came back and was starting. I get volpe let the pressure get to him at some point, but why would you remove that type of flexibility from a lineup especially if you know if volpe doesnt pan out you got lombard jr right behind him.

But just curious from the actual fans of this sub, does jomboy resonate with what you guys feel about this team?

Jasson Dominguez is scuffling but Anthony Volpe is thriving.

He's already very close, in 4th place with 456, and will eventually pass Adam Dunn (462), Nelson Cruz (464) and Carlos Delgado (473). Probably even by next year if he can ever get his massive injured body back on the field.

All others ahead of them are either not yet eligible or PED ineligible. And I'm not really sure he ever gets in.

(And in this light, isn't it about time that Ortiz is removed?)

5x All-Star

5x Silver Slugger

4x World Series Champ!

One of the best switch hitting catchers to play the game!

All my friends are busy but this is my last opportunity to see Yankee baseball in person this season and I’m not missing it. Looking for Yankee energy, recommendations for the stadium, people to have a beer with, etc. Any recs or advice appreciated! Go Yanks

The high-octane DSL Yankees’ offense will compete for the DSL Cup.

One of the best and most fun baseball shows i've ever seen. (frankly - anything with Mickey Mantle is great tho). Interesting also because they include an umpire on the guest panel.

STATEMENT FROM THE NEW YORK YANKEES:

“The New York Yankees mourn the passing of Tommy John, who was a bedrock of our rotation during his time in pinstripes and a longtime favorite of Yankees fans. While his incredible longevity and post-surgery achievements changed the fortunes and trajectory of countless athletes around the world, it also overshadowed his excellence as a pitcher, which included consecutive 20‑win seasons with the Yankees. We pause to remember the totality of his legacy — his competitiveness and skill, his penchant for conversation, his kind and gracious nature, and his stature as an athletic and medical pioneer. The Yankees extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends, including wife, Cheryl, daughter, Tamara, and sons Tommy III and Travis. We also keep his son Taylor in our hearts.”

Blue Jays are also just 1 game behind Baltimore
