That's awesome the team with the 2nd highest payroll got knocked out by the team with the 7th highest payroll! That will show those big money spend thrifts!
I’m in the same world as you with the small market fandom. I have absolutely no problem with the Yankees spending money to win.Could not happen to a nicer team and their fans!

Wonder what the Yankee haters say when they see PSU putting tons of money in to their coaches and facilities....probably ok to spend then.
Problem with the Yankees is they spend any money they want, then try and run their team like Billy Beane.
Joey Gallo is the perfect example.

I am a Yankee fan, but I find them hard to watch these days. It's either home run or strike out and has been for years.
I've never, never cared for the Braves, Cubs, Dodgers, and the Yankees!
I hope they all slip into the sea never to return.

You realize you're rooting for Morgan Stanley against Goldman Sachs, right?
The Red Sox are every bit of the big market, high spend, prima donna team that the Yankees are.
If you want to make a point, root for Tampa Bay to thump the Red Sox. (Spoiler alert -- they will.)

It’s funny, growing up in Jersey most of my friends were Mets fans which instinctively made me hate the Mets and want the Yankees to be better to make them suffer. It’s possible I’m not a great friend.I've never, never cared for the Braves, Cubs, Dodgers, and the Yankees!

I believe that it was Boston that was really whining about small market teams spending big in the draft to get players to forego college. After the Pirates got Josh Bell the next year there was a draft salary cap. It is ok for teams to spend unlimited on Major League talent but heaven forbid a small market tries the strategy to overpay on high ceiling players in the draft.
I believe most are also rooting against the Sox, its just the order of how they need to play out.
Id love to see the Rays vs the Brewers, though I am a little biased since I have a former player playing on one team and in the others minor league system.
Wait...do we actually agree on something? Can somebody please confirm that pigs can't fly?Could not happen to a nicer team and their fans!

Yanks haven't won the pennant in 12 years. Boone says; "The league is narrowing the gap between them and NY. " wtf Aaron?
Time for Boone to go, teams needs a new voice. Time for consideration for Cashman to go as well. If you are going to be an analytic team you don't need to spend what they spend on a team.
Now have the 106 win Dodgers lose tonight and MLB can say, "see we don't need a salary cap everyone and anyone can win it all."
In the AL you have the 5 playoff teams plus 2 that won 90 games. In the NL just the 5 playoff teams (ATL didn't make 90 wins). So of those 12 teams only 7 are in the top half of the league related to payroll. The 5 teams in the top ten in payroll that didn't make the playoffs averaged 76 wins (Phils top at 82) so payroll doesn't assure wins.
At the end of the day MLB will say the system works and is fair.

Sorry to say, but most of baseball is this way anymore. Most fundamentals are all but dead.
Little info I found interesting. Bosox beat NY 10 out of 19 games which is why the game was in Fenway. The game that gave Boston its 10th win and assured them of winning the season series was p layed in the Bronx, Boston won 5-4. They were not only losing 4-0 in that game, they were being no-hit thru 7 innings.
I’m glad you left the Mets off your list. 😁I've never, never cared for the Braves, Cubs, Dodgers, and the Yankees!

Just curious, did anyone catch the announcers talk about G. Cole’s contract when he was pulled out of the game? I wonder if that was a subtle dig at the Yankees or Cashman?
MLB badly needs a salary cap. Unfortunately it won't happen. One of the have nots is my team (The Indians/Guardians - dumb name). They have done Ok but it is really hard.Could not happen to a nicer team and their fans!

The Yankees lineup is poorly constructed. Too many power hitters and not enough on base guys.Could not happen to a nicer team and their fans!

Judge, Stanton, Gallo, Voit, Sanchez, etc. The only on base guy is Lemahieu and he had an uncharacteristically poor year.
Other teams get a guy on base so it's difficult to pitch around the slugger. They advance baserunners and put pressure on pitchers. A walk, advance the runner, and a base hit. Better yet two on and a 3 run homer. The Yankees strike out a lot and don't advance runners. Strikeout, Strikeout, home run. Look at the wildcard game. 2 runs both solo HRs.
