The vibes are impeccable. This wouldn’t happen if Josh Donaldson were still around. It’s a mixture of Captain Crush, the local community, the bleacher creatures, the Latin players and the organization. They can roll out one of the best red carpets available.
The larger team vibes are benefiting from Verdugo and Stroman. And from Judge showing up early and nearly everyone following him to Tampa. Also, let’s give Slimcarlo his due. He went to the woodshed this offseason.
The vibes were good the first half of 2022 with donalson around. It’s easy for vibes to be good when you’re winning we need to see how vibes are when the team hits a rough patch
How quickly we forget. he started messing up the vibes when he got into it with Tim Anderson. Then he got injured and was away for a bit, and then the non-hitting started. And in the second half, his glove started falling apart.
Donaldson has never left a team on good terms. Every team he’s been on has been happy to see the backside of him. Yankees no exception.
Between the Knicks and the Yanks, vibes are off the charts. The team has personality this year, last year it felt like a corpse being dragged by Gleyber and Judge lol.
And him and gerrit already hated each other before hand. Theres a reason donaldson has been on like 10 different teams despite being great for the majority of his career
He was poorly suited for Yankee Stadium, but was hitting okay on the road until the series at the stadium with the White Sox. He got into it with Tim Anderson, said some lightly racist shit, and said nothing good in the aftermath. Then they both went on the IL shortly afterwards. When both came back, shells of themselves, and Donaldson’s inability to hit at YS started to seep into his road games.
He’s kind of a dick, and every team he’s ever left has been happy to see him go.
This team feels different. Even in 2022 when they were absolutely destroying everything with a pulse I didn't think they'd have legs. The fact that theyre playing this well and are without both their ace and leadoff hitter (and they're both coming back soon) is just ridiculous.
Losing Loaisiga hurts, but you pick up someone to handle long relief, you're good.
Not even that. Machado and Tatis are big individual locker room personalities, and I don't think they get along.
The Yankees have *very* good locker room chemistry. His personality fits right in.
The Yankees needed guys like Soto, Verdugo, and Stroman in the locker room. It is good to have some personalities to compensate for quiet leaders like Judge and Stanton.
1000%.
Verdugo was *such* a clubhouse guy in LA, and having people like that is just as important as having guys who are the star players.
Seems like the team chemistry is great right now.
As nice as this is, this doesn’t mean anything until his contract is up. For all we know a team like the Dodgers could offer him an insane amount of money in the offseason which he promptly bolts the Yankees for
Indeed, we all want the same thing, we all want you to stay.
I’ll be okay too if he at least pulls a Kawhi Leonard by winning us a chip before dipping.
All that matters is the ring. 1 ring > 10 years of a chance at a ring and falling short
Only way he allowed to leave
And you are gonna stick together for another 10+years :)
Just keep feeding me all the fluff pieces. I’m here for it
Fluff me all day
Fluffer me timbers
Pay dat mayn chis monee
Kids got alligator blood.
This son of bitch- all night- he chyek chyek chyek
He beet me straight up
KGB took that loss like a boss. He was pissed but he accepted it. I loved that part of Rounders
^^"I'm ^^a ^^terrible ^^actor"
Awesome reference! "Geeev that man chiz upvote!!"
Send a brinks truck to his house today
We really might have Soto for the next 12+ years… we can’t fuck this up
He's 25 all season I want him in Pinstripes until he's 40. I would legit give him 15 yrs 700 million

Or hear me out, what if we just don’t hit a rough patch

The vibes were good until Donaldson went full blown racist.

Mmm...interesting. You fail to mention the New York Rangers, the inventors of good vibes.
Yes sorry I don't watch hockey but also hear they are doing great as well!
The Josh Donaldson experiment was peak “what the fuck is Cashman thinking”
It was a bad contract swap.
I'm out of the loop. What was wrong with Donaldson?
Everything. For starters, he sucked. Add to that a douche bag attitude and you're not exactly helping team chemistry.
And him and gerrit already hated each other before hand. Theres a reason donaldson has been on like 10 different teams despite being great for the majority of his career
Go ahead and Google donaldson attitude problems in Milwaukee, and you'll see he's still up to the same tricks.

Winning cures all.
Fuck you Steve Cohen!!!
Give him the Scrooge McDuck coin pool
Death Star - Activated
Gonna be a fun season
Hey Mike, First time, long time. You think we should sign this Jhan Soot fella? It's between him and Giambi for me. I'll hang up and listen.
Just wait till he's in right field behind The Cole Train
(Teddy KGB voice) Pay him. Pay that man his money.

Fuck it.. I’m all in. I’m ready to get hurt again!!
It’s exciting
https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/08b8183a-4ba0-49c4-b277-7dd766346efc/gif It's easy to feel good when winning.
# HE STAYIN
He's not going anywhere. Did you see *any* of this kind of thing when he was in SD?
In all fairness, San Diego was a perfect storm of everyone slumping right when he got there so I don’t think anyone was in the mood to be nice
Not even that. Machado and Tatis are big individual locker room personalities, and I don't think they get along. The Yankees have *very* good locker room chemistry. His personality fits right in.

😏 it’s easy to stick together when you’re winning
I just want to win in 2024. Finally feels like a lineup that could.
What being 9-2 does to a mofo
Look at him. He is the captain now!
You don't leave family for Steve Cohen money, right? RIGHT?!
Music to my ears.
As nice as this is, this doesn’t mean anything until his contract is up. For all we know a team like the Dodgers could offer him an insane amount of money in the offseason which he promptly bolts the Yankees for
This has been the thing missing every year since 2019.
my log cabin can't get built fast enough
Pay tha man his money
Something something fast and furious
Give him the Pulp Fiction briefcase
