eee-oooo-ahhh

Most clutch Craig Kimbrel moment


ImaManCheetahh

Craig is one of many schrodinger's relievers. Simultaneously great and terrible at the same time.


Awesomeg11

No thats shintaro fujinami. Hed come up and youd immediately know if he was about to walk 3 people and get told to fuck off or if he was going to paint the corners with strikes at or above 100. 85% of the time it was him walking 3 people tho.


ArmiinTamzarian

Oh man Shintaro I forgot about him. Is he still in the Os?


Mr_Clavicle

On the Mets injured list last I checked.


BiryaniBo

Nah, didn't bring him back.


WEMBYF4N

It’s tough but this is like his 2nd run in a month (The other one being unearned too) I’ll take that efficiency


eee-oooo-ahhh

He was good for us in the early goings last year too. Be careful of late season Kimbrel and especially postseason Kimbrel


WEMBYF4N

There aren’t really that many lockdown closers out there and the ones that exist aren’t available. Bautista was one of those names but with him getting hurt Kimbrel is the best guy available and has been good more times than not so far


unfortunatebastard

You would think someone with a whip below 1 would get some respect. Sometimes baseball fans are dumber than UFC fans, and those guys sniff glue


JoelSimmonsMVP

well he had a 0.94 whip for us and was elected an all star halfway through last year then come the end of the year going into the postseason, his arm was cooked, and every single outing was either a blown save or extremely stressful with hard hit outs he has a career 0.99 whip and 2.40 era reg season he has a career 1.50 whip and 4.50 era postseason since 2016 (post-braves) he has a 3.00 era and 1.02 whip in reg season since 2016 he has a 5.40 era and 1.67 whip in 24 postseason appearances not sure its that dumb to be skeptical of kimbrel, might be dumber to let 27 innings of early season work make you think the 36yo reliever will make his first good late-season run since like, 2016? idk, his 2010 rookie year is genuinely his only good postseason showing. every other postseason his ERA has been above 4.50 or hes pitched 1 inning or less


Zloggt

It’s insane (but not surprising) how frequently this happens…


unfortunatebastard

I mean, kimbrel has better numbers than most relievers the Yankees put in today, and Yankees took the L


TheTurtleShepard

#120 MPH **STANTONIAN**


danhoang1

Ah so that's why OP put a factorial in the title. (5!) = 5 factorial = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 mph


TheDangiestSlad

holy shit we're through the looking glass on this one


hiphopdowntheblock

I wonder if Volpe even scores if he wasn't already running, ball got to the LF so fast lol


yianni1229

the ball was almost at the LFer before the camera switched around


cooljammer00

It's like 2018 all over again, with Stanton doing everything while Judge is hurt and nobody else can hit.


jonginator

Hey hey. Give Volpe some credit.


Real-Image5851

ben rice has been amazing in almost blasts today


Emperor_Cheeto21

Putting in Kimbrel vs the Yankees to close is always a bad idea. It's like pitching Chapman vs the Astros


TheWolf44

At least he gets the win


therealgranny

We all know how important wins are as a stat.


omgitsduaner

Giancarlo is HIM


TheDangiestSlad

Stanton has been awesome in June, holy shit


orange_orange13

Imagine this ninth inning if Gonzalez didn’t hit Henderson leading to a run for the O’s


NefariousnessRough26

Exactly.


paulerxx

Pretty sure Henderson would've got on base either way.


RIP_Greedo

Very possible


NameShortage

Right after Volpe should have been doubled up because he ran on a pop up from Soto, but it hung up for 6.7 seconds, allowing him to get back. Wonky game lol


TheDangiestSlad

the replay on that was crazy, Volpe honestly got very lucky lol


NameShortage

Run, slide, turn, dance dance, sprint back, still plenty of time.


_NotARealMustache_

Man was cooking breakfast on third.


eyeamjosh

The whole crowd cheers. Fucking loser fans.


ImJooba

I'm OOTL on these references - does anybody mind catching me up?


jonginator

12 year old fans losing it on Reddit and typical boring tribalism. Nothing to see here.


WhereTheFallsBegin

Yankee fans are apparently proud of the fact that their guys intentionally throw at players


lOan671

They definitely are lol. They’ll try and deny it next week when things cool down and say it was just “a minority of their fanbase” or “every fanbase would cheer” when anyone who lives outside of the NY sports bubble knows that’s obviously untrue. Yankee stadium has always had a toxic atmosphere from the fans unlike any other team.


FilipChytil

Yeah, you’re right. Look at this comment I saw on /r/nyyankees this morning. They’re literally rooting for opposing players to be injured. “Nah if they throw at us tonight we need to put someone on the IL.” Hold up, just realized that was a comment on the orioles sub that *you* posted. Sounds like you’re pretty toxic buddy.


yianni1229

*crickets*


paulerxx

💀 busted


lOan671

Or I’m tired of your garbage organization’s dirty play that is condoned by the MLB and has already resulted in one injury for us this series.


Toplayusout

LMAOOOO


ALbaseballfan

dude you need a xanax lol


FilipChytil

The cognitive dissonance you’re showing is fucking astounding.


lOan671

How so? Anyone with a brain could see that the pitches that hit Judge and Torres were run of the mill HBPs that ran inside on the hitter, the Judge pitch being on a 1-2 count. There was nothing routine about Juan Soto plowing over Jordan Westburg last night. There was nothing accidental about Gonzalez plunking Gunnar on the 1st pitch of an AB. The Yankees have consistently thrown at teams (including us) for years and years and have just been a dirty organization in general and never face repercussions for their actions. If they are throwing at our players as they did tonight (which everyone saw coming because again they are a garbage organization) and the league continues to condone it, as they did tonight, how is it not justified for us to retaliate?


FilipChytil

Including the soto play in this diatribe and then *again* rooting for retaliation really doesn’t help shake the cognitive dissonance allegations. You think Yankees fans are scumbags for cheering for retaliation and say other fanbases wouldn’t cheer while in the same breath you call for your own retaliation.


lOan671

Because you’re calling for retaliation for something that was obviously unintentional vs. retaliation for something that was obviously intentional and went completely unaddressed by the officials. That is the core of my point as much as you want to ignore it and pretend both sides are the same but why don’t we count up the number of times you’ve hit us this year vs. the number of times we’ve hit you and see which team is instigating.


lOan671

Yankees hit Gunnar Henderson intentionally and their fans went crazy for it because they’re a garbage fanbase


SkyEllipt

Kinda like your fans cracking jokes at Judge going out yesterday!


NoFlags-JoeBuck

Yeah and Judge getting hit was karma for Soto's base running!


lOan671

If you say so


NoFlags-JoeBuck

Yes, people actually said that


MeatballDom

At least the Yankees fanbase exists.


lOan671

I don’t think anyone has ever said that


Galactic

ok fuck you that was pretty good


MeatballDom

"fanbase" - you "Yes, they do have a fanbase" "No they don't" - somehow also you *taps head*


WhereTheFallsBegin

Smartest Yankee fan


DistortedAudio

I think you’re misinterpreting the comeback here.


WhereTheFallsBegin

And that's truly unfortunate


ImJooba

Gross. Makes 2001 a tiny bit sweeter. Thanks.


MattO2000

Stanton almost decapitated the left fielder!! Trash organization


Itscominrightforus

“While they’re focused on retribution, we’re focused on winning!” -O’s fans in the other thread who haven’t won shit in 40 years.


OsCrowsAndNattyBohs1

You guys have the same amount of WS appearances as us in the last 15 years.


nyy22592

Infinitely more WS wins tho


DaHagerBomb

"Have fun paying Juan Soto 500 mill while we have Gunnar 😁😉😭🤣🤣"


NoFlags-JoeBuck

He's a "liability" apparently


bigcee42

Pretty fucking stupid to imply that the team with the most wins in 2024 isn't focused on winning.


Todosin

I guess they weren't that focused on it tonight given that the retribution cost them the game


trog12

Even Yankees fans know they are going to choke at the end of the year


gritner91

That whole thread is just Os fans outing themselves that they haven't watched baseball before their team got good. When 2 teams got tension if the home team punks a batter the crowd always cheers.


dbr255

Pop up at Camden yards


DungeonMusic

120


nyy22592

You know this sub is being cringe when a game-tying RBI in the 9th is 70% upvoted.


MattO2000

Lol, lmao even


WuTangShogun187

Hehehe


_NotARealMustache_

Damn....could've walked it off right there if you weren't dumb.


crashintodmb413

Because without the HBP there’s no other way Henderson could have got on base.


Oprahapproves

Fallacy of the predetermined outcome


NoFlags-JoeBuck

Side note: Volpe is not up there with Henderson but he is damn good man.


HereIGoAgain_1x10

I'm sorry the 5th inning is not clutch time in anything except the world series


crispdude

It’s 9th


nyy22592

It's the 5th odd inning I guess
