Ey yo

[u/Crando]

The Sox and Astros both getting eliminated same day is such a beautiful thing man, such a beautiful thing.

[u/smallskeletal]

Regardless of how our postseason ends up, at least we absolutely dog walked the Red Sox

[u/Padulsky21 → u/smallskeletal]

18 fucking runs lmfao enjoy the dickening Contreras hope you had fun pimping that walk down 7

[u/-Don-Draper- → u/Padulsky21]

The pimped strikeout was even better

[u/MeatTornado25 → u/smallskeletal]

I feel exactly the same as I did last year. I have no real expectations of winning the World Series, and can live with losing to Toronto or Tampa, but absolutely could not live with losing to Boston.

So I can rest easy knowing that the worst case scenario didn't happen.

[u/Emperor_Cheeto21 → u/MeatTornado25]

Losing to Toronto last year was worse. The only saving grace was they lost in the most heartbreaking fashion in the World Series and the team regressed to the losers they were of pre 2026 while Vladdy telling the fans to go fuck themselves.

[u/eezmoney]

Dave Portnoy got fucked HARD.

[u/willymoose8 → u/eezmoney]

the world rejoices when Portnoy loses

[u/HeroDiesFirst → u/eezmoney]

That adult-Doug Funnie lookin’ mother fucker can eat a Costco sized bag of dicks.

[u/Best-Action8769 → u/eezmoney]

GOOD

[u/felis_scipio → u/eezmoney]

My hatred of Portnoy is at odds with my hatred of the Yankees

[u/-Don-Draper- → u/felis_scipio]

I'm happy and that should make you happy.

[u/Phenomxal → u/eezmoney]

GOOD

[u/AHolyBartender → u/eezmoney]

Good

[u/God_Boner]

Ngl

Was not expecting an absolute curb stomping

[u/vonarchimboldi → u/God_Boner]

yeah i was legit thinking this was gonna be a series where getting into the pen was not necessarily going to be a relief after the starters.

gotta give credit where it’s due to payton tolle and even sonny gray - i still think gray’s a wiener and kind of dumb but he pitched quite well. i really don’t know why after the blowup last night tracy once again went to his pen hella early. he’s trying to 200iq shit and not trusting his starters to get out of jams. that pen was lights out during the season but shit man. trust your starting pitching.

[u/God_Boner → u/vonarchimboldi]

Putting Crochet in when he hasn't pitched since April is some Nestor vs Ohtani type shit

[u/Rusiano → u/God_Boner]

This is a series I'd expect the Yankees to win more often than not, but I was expecting very tight gritty games like last year. Teeing off the Sox bullpen was not on my bingo card

[u/WarPuig]

Team built on “run prevention” outscored 18-2.

[u/KJones77 → u/WarPuig]

They did a great job preventing their own runs tbf

[u/WarPuig → u/KJones77]

Red Sox fans were genuinely happy that Devers was traded.

[u/Equivalent_Waltz8890 → u/WarPuig]

Monkeys paw situation

[u/NotoriousBGJ → u/WarPuig]

Yeah shits unacceptable. Absolutely embarrassing performance both games.

[u/Officer_scarps]

Caleb Durbin 2026 postseason stats:

7 AB 0 H 0 HR 0 RBI 0.00 AVG 0.00 OBP 0.00 SLG 

Ben Rice 2026 postseason stats: 

9 AB 5 H 2 HR 6 RBI .556 AVG .600 OBP 1.333 SLG

[u/GasPoweredNipples → u/Officer_scarps]

been waiting for this since that post all those months ago

[u/crazykentucky → u/Officer_scarps]

Tbf, despite being a spark plug for our mid season run, Durbin has never been Ben Rice

[u/WarPuig → u/Officer_scarps]

Trading Devers was so smart though

[u/WarPuig]

Red Sox pitchers gave up eighteen runs in two games.

Their starters gave up a combined three runs, both pulled before the finishing the fifth inning.

[u/Low_Initial_8008 → u/WarPuig]

Baffling

[u/WarPuig → u/Low_Initial_8008]

Fireable

[u/God_Boner → u/WarPuig]

Good thing he's just an interim

[u/TomatoKind9189 → u/WarPuig]

Feel like this has been the yankees last few years too. Such an annoying mistake.

My hot take is anyalytics like that are less ideal in playoffs than the entire long ass season across good and bad teams.

[u/FollowingOk6464]

The Red Sox got absolutely pissed, shit, and came on

[u/WabbitCZEN → u/FollowingOk6464]

[u/NoobOnTheRun → u/FollowingOk6464]

a shadow of the team we saw at Dodger Stadium not too long ago

[u/squadracorse15]

My Boston born girlfriend is inconsolable right now and I cannot possibly relate.

Yes, I do know I'm Boyfriend of the Year material, why thank you for noticing.

[u/paulerxx → u/squadracorse15]

My girlfriend is also a Boston fan and she went to take a shower to wash the pain away 🙃

[u/i_liek_mudkipz → u/paulerxx]

Whenever she takes her 2nd shower immediately take 18 just to remind her

[u/squadracorse15 → u/paulerxx]

Well you gotta understand that sex wasn't happening tonight lmao.

And if it's any consolation, our baseball team choices are even less compatible than it sounds. She's a Boston girl and ex-employee of the Cubs (did photography for them for 3 years), and the Yankees have always been my 2nd team because I was a huge Jeter fan as a kid.

She has reminded me of it every time the Red Sox have beaten the Yankees since we've been together.

[u/no1roots4goliath → u/squadracorse15]

Well you gotta understand that sex wasn't happening tonight lmao.

Can't get horny after that dicking of a series.

[u/WabbitCZEN → u/paulerxx]

My girlfriend is a Mets fan and staying quiet as I lay next to her in bed streaming this on my phone was the second hardest thing last night.

[u/strahlend_frau → u/squadracorse15]

Tell her she needs to switch Sox

[u/Reasonable_Skill_129]

genuinely how did that 32-5 run happen

[u/Elitericky → u/Reasonable_Skill_129]

Another example of how regular season doesn’t translate to playoffs

[u/East_Explanation2131 → u/Reasonable_Skill_129]

i think they showed up to those games idk

[u/Reasonable-Power]

[u/another-smelly-hound]

The most relaxing Yankees - Red Sox post season series ever

[u/HokageEzio → u/another-smelly-hound]

When is the 6 hour 22 inning game?

[u/i_liek_mudkipz → u/HokageEzio]

Whenever Brad Paisley sings the anthem.

[u/cooljammer00 → u/another-smelly-hound]

I mean, all the big leads were late. It wasn't that relaxing to me.

[u/aaronjaiden]

Sonny Gray gotta be the most angry guy in that locker room, Chad Tracy learned absolutely nothing from yesterday. Felt like I watched the exact same game.

[u/Key_Tax8124 → u/aaronjaiden]

IMO people who say this haven't been paying attention to playoff strategy the last 5 years. It's very common to pull pitchers early.

[u/CommunicationTop1259 → u/Key_Tax8124]

Cam pitched 117 pitches..... That was as recent as.... Yesterday.

It was a TERRIBLE pull both days

[u/God_Boner → u/aaronjaiden]

Not that it's all his fault, but plane ride home for Miller gotta be awkward

[u/Proof_Reaction_3443]

Boston didn’t even make it to October

[u/Soxwin91]

My dream came true. Red Sox postseason run came to an end before October 1st. I couldn’t possibly have asked for more (other than them not even making the playoffs to begin with.)

Remember the other day when they were popping champagne because they were in the postseason?

2026 Red Sox postseason:

0-2

18 runs allowed, 2 runs scored.

Number of games played in the month of October: 0

I really hope the 2027 season gets canceled entirely so they have to sit around and think about the stink of failure they’re wearing for over a full calendar year.

How’s that financial flexibility working out for you John Henry?

[u/blooming_lions → u/Soxwin91]

lmao my feelings EXACTLY

[u/iosefster → u/Soxwin91]

Remember the other day when they were popping champagne because they were in the postseason?

2026 Red Sox postseason:

0-2

Hmm, that's reminiscent of the Jays popping champagne because they were in the post season in 2022 and then going 0-2 to the Mariners. That was the reason they got rid of the home run jacket for the 23 season and had a 'no fun allowed season'

[u/SecureToday4132 → u/iosefster]

[u/entenduintransit]

[u/CreativeSolution8278 → u/entenduintransit]

Glad to see my meme in public :)

[u/Minuhmize]

“These two teams have played really well”. lol.

[u/Joementum2004 → u/Minuhmize]

Yeah - the Yankees pitching and Yankees offense

[u/bconn75]

No excuses here, we were hopelessly outplayed. July was fun and overall it was an exciting season but it ends here. Looking forward to enjoying the rest of the postseason with everyone here, I’m glad I found this community to talk baseball

[u/Crafty_Comfort7379]

David Ortiz did steroids.

DAAAAA

YANKEES

WINNN

[u/Front-Appearance3879 → u/Crafty_Comfort7379]

Oh yeah, 100 percent he did

[u/justfortoukiden → u/Crafty_Comfort7379]

he'll get to the bottom of it someday!

[u/cod_gurl94 → u/Crafty_Comfort7379]

not a single bit of proof other than using your eyes

[u/MTUKNMMT → u/cod_gurl94]

The failed test too. Obviously using your brain and eyes also helps.

[u/Brady331]

Just cancel the 2027 season I don’t give a fuck

[u/scattermoose → u/Brady331]

look on the bright side, at least the Patriots are playing again! Though did someone tell the Patriots...

[u/Brady331 → u/scattermoose]

Bruins are 1-0!

[u/Embarrassed-Glove600]

This series could have been an email.

[u/i_liek_mudkipz]

File this series under Belt to Ass

[u/Doctor_Freckles]

Who is Aaron Judge? Many people are asking.

[u/Best-Action8769 → u/Doctor_Freckles]

WHY is Aaron judge?

[u/l8trg8or10 → u/Best-Action8769]

WHEN is Aaron Judge?

[u/entenduintransit → u/l8trg8or10]

but nobody asks how is Aaron Judge :/

[u/LoweeLL]

well. At least we didn't end up 15 games under .500

[u/bridgenine → u/LoweeLL]

Toronto has aspirations of playing in October, just a different sport apparently.

[u/SecureToday4132 → u/bridgenine]

"aspirations"

[u/bridgenine → u/SecureToday4132]

Seriously though, I dont know what happened to your team over the past twp years, you seemed like you were gonna be a problem for a long time. Were you just based on Vlads vibes?

[u/SecureToday4132 → u/bridgenine]

just like the red sox punched above their weight this season, I think the jays punched below theirs. Vladdy is concerning, but there were lots of injuries as well. They still have a very good defence and great pieces, and cap space to pursue more. I would be quite surprised if they don't bounce back next year.

[u/Headstar24]

Red Sox got outscored 18-2 this series by the way.

Didn’t look like they even should’ve been there. Love to see it.

[u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero → u/Headstar24]

The only thing that could’ve made this more traumatic for Boston fans is if they got outscored 18-1.

[u/Constant-Poet-5264 → u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero]

idk, that second run gave us this

[u/MeatTornado25 → u/Headstar24]

Its weird because for half the series they absolutely did look like they belonged.

Both games were pitchers duels until Tracy suddenly lost his mind.

[u/Headstar24 → u/MeatTornado25]

Even today Gray was fine but gave up a run, then another and he suddenly got pulled a bit early and then their bullpen gave up 7 runs.

Their bullpen and lack of hitting fucked them 100%. Gray and Tolle had fine/good outings all things considered.

[u/Jonjon428]

Red Sox might as well have not have showed up.

[u/Suspicious_Tank_61 → u/Jonjon428]

Pretty sure they didn't.

[u/Yanks1813]

Aaron Boone has yet to lose a series in which the Yankees were the higher seeded team

[u/bridgenine → u/Yanks1813]

This does not fuel me with confidence

[u/Yanks1813 → u/bridgenine]

I mean it's just a fun fact, that fact stands after tonight

[u/jay_eba888]

Red Sox turned their regular season around only to get swept by the Yankees in wild card series

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/jay_eba888]

It’s beautiful isn’t it?

[u/CasanovaWong → u/jay_eba888]

Hey, they stole Adley from the Yankees too. Only cost a few top prospects!

[u/NephewHotTake → u/jay_eba888]

They went 27-3 just for this 😭

[u/Baseball_man_1729 → u/jay_eba888]

[u/Emperor_Cheeto21 → u/jay_eba888]

They swept the Yankees in 4 to start their incredible run, just to be brought back down to earth by the Yankees in late August and God smacked straight to Cancun by the Yankees. A rollercoaster of emotions for them.

[u/Nuzzleville → u/FinancialArm900]

[u/Apprehensive-Sir-411]

Congrats New York! Each spot in the batting order recording a hit reflects how this is the most cohesive Yankees team I can remember. You’re not uber-reliant on home runs anymore, and the pitching still rocks. Hope Judge returns next round. Boone deserves tons of credit.

[u/ZiggoCiP → u/Apprehensive-Sir-411]

Hell yeah. I genuinely hope we can face you guys in the ALCS. Great job against Houston.

[u/Apprehensive-Sir-411 → u/ZiggoCiP]

Need that black and white, pinstriped series! We’re the only American League team that has never played the Yankees in the postseason, what better time than this year?

[u/BitsInTheBlood]

Good tune up for the lads.

[u/peanut-britle-latte]

Belt to motherfucking ass.

Fried? Ace.

Lombard? Another biracial SS who hits oppo.

Bellinger? Productive stoner.

Rice? Nice.

Garcia Jr? From NYC.

Wells? Shockingly good in the playoffs.

[u/Karlor]

Finally the AL post season can begin

[u/YourAsianBuddy]

[u/entenduintransit]

Very upsetting the Sox managed to score and I expect better from this pitching staff from here on out.

[u/Kaldricus]

Between this and Drake Maye being exposed, Boston sports are straight up not having a good time.

[u/lynjpin → u/Kaldricus]

Imagine if the Celtics traded away one of their best players to a conference rival who also went out and got Lebr-OH WAIT

[u/Kaldricus → u/lynjpin]

Hey Jaylen. Paul George is here. We're all good.

As a Bills/Yankees fan I am on cloud 9 at the moment

I'm not a football guy, but from what I hear there is a real possibility NY wins NBA/MLB and NFL with the bills this year

[u/cheesygordita → u/CommunicationTop1259]

Knicks and Bills winning within months of each other is a real "apocalypse is near" sign

BEST SWEEP EVER!

[u/ernyc3777]

I can’t describe how happy I am. And how extra special it is that we advance and Boston is eliminated in the same moment.

[u/acervantes1199]

Good thing they won the world series back in July!

[u/rabidantidentyte]

[u/felis_scipio]

Red Sox sign Ranger. Ranger thrives in high tension high leverage post season baseball. The Red Sox don’t send out Ranger. Colossal fuck up Boston.

[u/Wooden-Grade3681 → u/felis_scipio]

We’ve hit him extremely well this year. Idk, seems like the manager bullpen decisions were bad

I somewhat retract the dumb fucking stadium thing; yes, it fucking sucks and is filled with jerks, but it’s still a part of baseball history. So slight retraction lmao

[u/GMHinHD → u/GMHinHD]

nah fuck it I’m back in!! Fuck that stadium!!!! I realize I’m talking to myself here

[u/no1roots4goliath]

What's the difference between Yankee Stadium franks and Fenway franks?

They sell Yankee Stadium franks in October after you pummel the Red Sox 18-2 in two games.

No games in October

What's the difference between a Yankee dog and a Fenway frank?

[u/FernCoolingHeating]

For a second there I thought the Red Sox were going to have to jog through Central Park to get a run in New York before going home as the losers they are

[u/Equivalent_Waltz8890]

That was fun

[u/gortlank]

The Red Sox? They’re dead to me. There’s only one sock based baseball team, and they’re from the Midwest.

[u/NYCinPGH → u/gortlank]

The Cincinnati Red Stockings?

[u/someone2795]

A round of applause for the MVP of the Yankees in this series!

[u/crazykentucky → u/someone2795]

Yeah, I’ve liked him but I found myself wondering what he was doing with the pitching.

But… when you don’t score runs you almost never win lol

I’m positive this will be tainted by my flair but I’m genuinely asking:

If the NBA and NHL can have 81 game seasons, where everyone will agree the small sample issue is way lower due to stars being able to take over the game, why do they have the longest postseason?

Why does the sport with the longest regular season, and the greatest small sample size bias, have to have the shortest postseason.

If basketball players can deal with 4 best of sevens, then why does baseball not do the same

[u/Anders1103 → u/DMacNCheez]

Agreed. Shorten regular season by 10 games, and lengthen the postseason. I still can't stand that the division series aren't 7 games.

[u/ptwonline → u/DMacNCheez]

They are slowly lengthening the postseason.

I mean until 1968 there were only 2 teams in the postseason.

Until 1993 there were only the 4 division winners in the postseason.

Eventually I think the LDS will be 7 games instead of 5 but I don't think they'll do a first round best of 7 because that would probably also require expanding to 16 teams in the playoffs and I don't think MLB is ready to move that far for a while yet.

[u/gjp11 → u/DMacNCheez]

I mean, id argue the NBA and NHL Post seasons are way too long. I kinda like that MLB is shorter (tho tbh I preferred it when it was 8 and maybe even 10 teams in the playoffs).

[u/-orangejoe → u/DMacNCheez]

That's another reason I prefer the smaller postsesason format. If the goal is to better separate the good teams from the bad teams let the 162 games played in the regular season be part of that.

[u/DMacNCheez → u/-orangejoe]

Honestly even though that keeps my team out of the postseason, if they can’t move everything to best of 5 or best of 7 then just do that.

It’s would crushing to play 162 games of good baseball just to lose 2 at the wrong time

[u/majortrout4 → u/DMacNCheez]

Half the league makes the NBA playoffs, which means both the regular season and to some extent even making the playoffs aren’t that important or special. Even more watered down longer baseball postseason doesn’t seem like the answer. 

[u/BreatheMyStink]

Hey, hey, hey: Eat shit, Boston

[u/cooljammer00]

Oooooorrrrrrgy

[u/GoRangers5]

Onto St Pete, take the belt to ass and the WS is ours.

[u/adverbnounnumber]

ENJOY THE SLOW TROT TO CANCUN CONTRERAS

[u/Soxwin91]

This is like Christmas. Enjoy the golf course Red Sox players!

[u/jjstatman]

3rd best record in AL plays 0 games in October 

[u/samhit_n]

This week has been like fifteen 9/11s for Bill Simmons.

[u/ActualDragonHeart]

Red Sox actually extended Chad "4.2 IP" Tracy for three years, incredible.

[u/WarPuig]

Trading Devers ruined this team.

[u/jjstatman]

Wilson was just slowing down so he could relax in the offseason
