Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I don’t believe that getting paid more means they’re not allowed to be happy

There is a thing though where Yankees fans act all entitled that they absolutely have to win and if they don't someone has to be fired, blah blah

So if winning (especially at the ALDS level) is such a base expectation they shouldn't be all that reactive to it.

But some individual fans do not carry that entitlement mentality and I don't think it's silly for them to celebrate; the others meanwhile, I'm not stopping them from celebrating but it's kind of dumb and inconsistent.

Why would you think they're going to cut Maile? Hedges is the FA, more expensive, and defensively regressed. I've said all along I expect them to agree with Maile in arbitration.

The culture of professionalism and not acting like an asshole. I am not misreading this team in the slightest, nor its FO personnel and how they expect their players to behave. The energy comes from professionalism, hustle and a never die attitude, not showboating. It is you that is misreading this team.

Maile in ARB makes sense.. but is still eminently replaceable.. Not keeping an aging catcher that doesn't throw the ball where the runner is arriving (both 2nd base and 3rd) while not hitting at a level a pitcher would be proud of.. isn't someone worthy of consideration for a roster spot.. He's a much worse Bebo Perez.. btw.. if Bebo is released, he might serve as an MiLB catcher/mentor?..

The emotion displayed by Josh was misplaced.. but entertaining.. no more.. no less..

Fans should celebrate like that more often, in my opinion. Creates a fun atmosphere.

If you want to criticize Yankees fans for anything, it should be for gloating about championships that were won more than 40 years ago.

I will say that was the most obnoxious HR by Naylor I ever seen, that's not something to do if you can't follow up with another one. Simply put he's not that good to showboat like that. But it did spark the Yankees obviously.

It's the ALDS. How much more sparking does a baseball player actually need. Maybe rocking the baby raises the temperature of a co-ed softball game where players are going through the motions. The temperature of the ALDS is already high. Pimping a HR couldn't matter less. Glad he did it, it was fun.

Browns celebrating 8 championships? That was before the SuperBowl era they tell us.

Yankees winning 27 championship? 10 of those came before integration. Only 7 since expansion to 24 teams in '69. Since '80 they had 4 out of 5 year run 'in 96-2000 and one win in '09.

In the past ten years the Yankees have won 858 games. The Indians/Guardians won 845 games in the same time period. In the past 22 years they've spent over $4 billion and have one championship to show for it.
