Aaron Judge is the best baseball player to ever live.
Soto again. He has completely changed our offense. All of this production in 4 games with just 1 homerun. What a start to the season 4-0
Judge is still trying to find his stroke, and we still put up runs in crucial situations
@@Scorpio1025 last year it felt like if judge had a rough game there would be no chance at winning. he just had a rough series and the yanks still swept. very good to see
100%! offensive concept is different this year. hitting for hits, not homers....so apropos verdugo gets the final out. he's been tested out there. can't wait to see what they do when judge actually starts hitting....lets go yanks!
Facts
Without berti and verdugo defense , or gleyber getting the blooper hit and steal. We don’t win this game.. at least not the way we did. Would have been extra innings
Berti is the unsung hero of this game by that play in the 9th. What a freaking win baby!
It was Juan Soto
That hit in the fourth too, great utility pickup
@@Toka_99that’s why he said “Unsung” 😑😑
@@Toka_99without berti and verdugo defense, or gleyber getting the hit and steal. We don’t win this game. So no, it wasn’t just Juan Soto .
Many heroes
Soto is HIM. The Astro killer we've been waiting for. They better keep him in the bronx for the rest of his career, end of story.
We could have a ton of outfield depth if we sign Soto long term. Judge, Soto, Dominguez, Spencer Jones, and Grisham. Even if we aren't able to sign Soto, an outfield of Judge, Dominguez, and Jones, would be incredible. For the first time in eons, it seems like the Yankees have a rosy future ahead.
I don’t see many people giving gleyber credit for the hit and steal . Or berti and verdugo defense. They were so clutch in that 9th.
Facts
If Gleyber doesnt go for 3rd on that 3-2 pitch he doesn't score, great base running
I rarely see Gleyber Torres get credit for anything. I've always loved the guy, and hope he's a Yankee for life. VERY underrated player. And remember, we basically got him for nothing, receiving him and other players for Aroldis Chapman for a couple month rental, then we re-signed Chapman in the off season. The Yankees have to keep Torres. Volpe is solid at SS, we'll see about Cabrera at 3B, and I really feel like Peraza has "bust" written all over him. We should've traded him, before he was exposed.
They were such unsung heroes for sure Berti’s dive was so fucking insane I can’t stop watching it
Make Soto a Yankee for life
It’s gonna take a massive contract
@@cryptochris6015 15 years/ 1 bill should do it
There were so many great moments in this game, but my favorite might have been the moment right after JP France struck out Soto. He walked back to the dugout smiling and nodding his head because he was going to get his revenge later in the game. The at bat vs Hader was insane.
loved that you went pitch by pitch on hader v soto! good stuff!
Agreed. Great at bat.
Agree, the editing on this one was superbly done. Great tension at the end
Soto’s confidence is intoxicating 👏
Obi Juan Soto has done it again... the Force is strong with him... what a win and what a sweep of the cheatin Astros... let's go Yankees
This is the greatest comment/ nickname ever. I will be using this
You were the first with Obi Juan! You da man!
@@Brandop30 I've been saving this one all summer long
😂😂😂
@lianwhite9670 I had a buddy in high school 30 years ago his name was Juan and I always called him Obi Juan lol
I love how the Astros fans are booing Soto. He is bringing back winning swagger to the team. If you are not being booed as a Yankee by opposing fans then you are doing something wrong.
Soto was unbelievably confident in his last at bat.
Es todos un profesional
Soto is completely in control when he’s at bat. Best eye I’ve seen since wade boggs. Four in Houston! Keep it going.
What a player Juan Soto, he decides games with power, contact , defense, intelligence, speed, scores in crucial moments, basically does it all. I'm really happy that Juan joined the Yankees!
u forgot eyes he has eyes too
@@maxmattd6155 when you make good contact is because you see the ball well, so Contact == Vision
I have never seen Stanton run that fast. This is a great start. Thanks for the video.
That Soto last abat , the confidence the swagger is unmatched … what a player
I love how he 'interacts with the pitcher and the catcher. The man is the definition of confidence and swagger. It's like: "I am better than all of you and there is no way you are fooling me with any pitch".
I don't know why, but saying the Astros have the worst record in baseball, tied with the Marlins sounds soooo good. 😂😂😂
Relax 4 games do not make a season
@bradpotter3197 you relax. He said it sounds good to say it. It does.
I was at the game today and let me tell you it was a playoff atmosphere! A lot of Yankees fans as well! This was a statement series win! Yankees need to sign Soto at all costs!
Soto is really going to thrive with judge behind him and his patience. If you have to throw him something over the plate you are toast.
Yup, now I just wish we had someone a little more dangerous than Rizzo behind judge.
Juan Soto is a difference maker the Yankees sweep the Astros twice in their building dating back from last year. The Yankees made my day.
The fire this Yankees team is showing so far this year feels like a culmination of all their shortcomings in the Judge-Stanton era. It just feels like something is brewing…the mix of Yankees vets, FA pickups and young players coming up from our farm system. Also, Soto is always locked in, but he looked like he knew exactly what was gonna happen during the whole AB against Hader. It’s just wild to see that level of confidence in the 9th w/ 2 outs and a RISP.
Soto .529 BA 9H 1K in his first 4 games in Pinstripes. He just that dude and HOU might as well put a statue of him outside Minute Maid Park. He just completely owns them.
A fantastic start to the season and I'm a diehard Yanks fan, but c'mon it's March. No need to be dramatic.
@@SakAttack87Nothing dramatic about what I said. He's a 25 year old consistent phenom and hopefully he'll resign with the Yankees to finish his career off in Pinstripes.
Ladles and Gentleman, Your last placed Houston ASStros
Lol, agreed.
These Yankees fans feeling like they won the World Series, smh. I can't blame them they swept the Houston Astros. Juan Soto is a great addition to your team no doubt about it. Unfortunately for us we don't play good at home but we're a great road team. We still have plenty of games to go. Let's Go Astros!
@@baimbaconteh9310Fuck you… kidding. Good series!
@@baimbaconteh9310 the trashtros cheated in 2017 scrub...
LASTROS
4 in a row against the f**king Astros! Last year, we couldn't win a series against them if our life depended on it. This is a very promising start
Swept them last year too…
One thing we can all agree on being a Dodger Fan is nobody likes The Astros outside The Lone Star State,. Red Sox can't stand them. Yanks and Dodgers the same.
Soto was hyped during his at bat in the 9th, you could just see the intensity on his face. Dude's already in Playoff Mode!
what a 9th inning holy shit
that 9th inning AB by Juan just felt like a movie to me. thanks for the playing that one out. Wow ❤
4 in a row, love it, Great team effort NY
Nobody has more swagger on this team than Soto. The confidence and consistency is unreal. THIS is who needs to be the yanks captain in all honesty. He’s already taken over this team as his. Hal needs to pull his head out of his ass and give this man whatever he wants
hard to disagree, that AB in the ninth was legendary
I agree. Soto had a great series, but we’re not making somebody captain after 4 games.
Let’s calm down. Juan is a stud but Judge truly embodies the true traits of a Yankee captain. The fact he’s willing to share/give the spotlight to Soto shows that.
@@jeremiahrobinson3745 all I’m saying is you can see it in the players that they look up to Soto. He stands out. The old yanks, the ones who stood out were the ones who weren’t very good because EVERYONE was an all star. Now…it’s just Soto and Judge (if judge doesn’t hurt himself walking to the plate) Judge is great. I met him when he was in the minors and he’s cool as shit. Signed my hat and took a picture and had a conversation with me instead of just hopping on the bus. I’m all about Judge. BUT when it comes to being the leader of this team, Soto has taken over. I know it’s early but watching these last 4 days, they all look for Soto for everything! You can see it. If Hal let’s this man walk to another team, the yanks are done for a long time. They’ve had zero fire, zero will to win the last few years and then here comes the fire they were looking for. With Jeter, on the mediocre teams toward the end of his career, he kept the fire in their asses to win, even when we sucked but somehow pulled it off. I see it in Soto. Love Judge to death, but if Soto were to stay in the Bronx…. Eeeesh that’d be his team lol
@@Adeyemiii oh i know that. I’m just speaking hypothetically. Notice all four days the players looked to Soto. Almost as a “looking for approval.” If Soto stays in the Bronx….that’ll be Soto’s team. He’s built for the Bronx by his confidence and swagger and playing in a spotlight.
Heart attack Holmes back at it again!
Holmes himself knows it. Just look at his face at the end. Hes like "goddam i actually got out of that jam"
Kinda boones fault for having him pitch 3/4 games but 3 saves for Holmes to start the season.
I call him Cardiac Clay, but I like heart attack Holmes too
@@tim8801 - 100%. This is the kind of idiot mistakes Boone makes in the playoffs. He acts like Holmes is Rivera
Soto & defense FTW -- What team is this again? What a sweet sweep. Every new guy has proven their worth in this first series. The closer situation is going to need some attention tho. We cant rely on diving plays to save games in the 9th all year. Holmes seems like he's about to implode every time hes in. Regardless -- I love the vibe of the team. Soto is a perfect fit -- Sign him up for a decade, back up the Brinks truck, give him whatever he wants. Cant wait to see what happens next!
Great hitting, excellent pitching, amazing defense, good base running…. This is what we have been waiting for so long..!!! We need keep our fingers crossed 🤞🏼 Till playoffs GO YANKEES !!!
Verdugo and Berti with some clutch plays at the end 😤🔥 and let’s not even talk about how hot sotto is right now! Man I’m loving the 2024 Yankees so far 🙏🏼
Soto, Berti and Verdugo making big plays at the end, great offseason for the Yankees
Juan truly wanted to be in that situation. We can see it all in his face. Shout out to John Berti, excuse me the team. Those slap singles, hustle, pitching, clutch walks, AB's were Baseball Art. Also, my favorite; keeping the opponent under 4 runs.
Los Yankees necesitan un cerrador de garantías. Cada que Holmes toma la loma es una sensación total de incertidumbre bañada por pensamientos de " le van a caer a palos o le van a voltear el juego" y eso para un equipo que aspira a la Serie Mundial es antinatural
Thanks for your highlight packages! As a Yankee fan living in Thailand, I love your game breakdowns. So much better than MLB highlights!
I like that they only use the YES broadcast
Soto is that Guy, with the high energy and production to get walks and hits to galvanise the team with his persona . Watching him in these four games, makes me want him to be a Yankee for life and definitely what we needed💥🔥. Plus so good to see our SP going deep in innings and not giving up to many runs,plus our offence and defence helping our pitchers out 🔥🔥🔥
HE BROUGHT IT BACK!!!!!!!!!! MY DUDE! WOOOOO GO YANKS!
Just finished watching. I have to watch it again. Wow, what a game and a great finish!
4 games into the season and I love this team already
Wow. Soto energy is affecting the team...... beautiful start to the season.
I feel like this is the team we've all been wanting for a while. So far, they have been clutch and been able to come from behind.
Berti reminded me of Graig Nettles on that 9th inning play. That saved the game.
We need a damn closer!!!!!
Let it go 158 games left chill😂😂😂😂
Look at the Holmes’s smile😂😂 Let’s go Yankees!!!!
I’m stoked for the Yankees this season I pray we stay healthy and get judge back in his groove
Soto, Verdugo, Berti, Rizzo, Volpe and Cabrera, thank you all for helping the new Yankee team get our revenge on the Astros!
Soto has some serious swag! he just looked at Hader as if to say,"you aint striking me out!"
All of them are great player.. Give the credit as a team... Let's go Yankees..
I am loving this exciting, confident Yankee Team!
Previously a viewer suggested the Yankees could go 162 - 0. Now I am thinking, well, maybe. This series has set the benchmark for top dog, and the NYY are it.
Love it Soto is the man and the D in the 9th was ridiculous
So proud of stanton for coming in such good shape
I love the fact that they're winning without having to hit a bunch of homeruns so far.
Days later watching STILL gets me pumped.
this might be the best sequence of highlights u ever put up.
the energy Soto and Dugie bring to us are amazing man , love these guys already
love everything i see happening! soto really is a force to be reckoned with
Boys we got em. Get the Broom out we got the Sweeep
Great work as always Dan. Loved the little extra look at the Hader/Soto AB. And the outro groove I love is back!
That's 9th inning defense is epic.
Series sweep against the cheatstros! Let's Go Bronx Bombers!!!
Vamos mis yanqui 🎉🎉
Been waiting for this outro all winter
As a Rangers fan, I want to thank you for disposing our little brothers
Thank you for disposing of them and the Dbacks last season👍👍
Hell yeah! -Fellow Rangers fan
Se está formando una química ganadora en los yankees motorizada por soto waooo que turno de calidad en la 9na
iam from the uk and have started watching baseball
This was really unexpected. Always feels good to beat the Astros, especially on the road ! Soto is a game changer ! I still can’t believe we got him… Going forward tho, I am concerned about Holmes ! Thank God for our amazing defense ! I want a clean 1,2,3 inning close next time ! Enough with the dramatics. #GoYankees🗽 ⚾️ 🔥
this feels… different can’t wait for the rest of the season
dan, can i get a “hell yeah”?
HELL YEAH BRO
Thanks for the recaps brother
@@YankeesAvenue love seeing you back after a long winter!! Keep the Yankee MOJO going
Was at the last two games, the ending to this game was incredible. That Soto go ahead single off Hader is going on the DVD. And I was on the verge of peeing my pants the entire bottom of the ninth with Holmes out there against altuve, Alvarez and tucker with two runners on
All the negative comments remember its only 4 games in March. We just swept a " world Series contender", found a way to get it done despite flaws. Lets just bask in the glory
What a 9th inning
Soto is exactly what the Yankees have been missing for too long.. they need to make this man a fixture in the Bronx for the rest of his career .
This team is already so much fun to watch. What a series boys.
Soto is so good he makes Judge look average & that’s not a slight to Judge.
Damn did we already won the season series? Nice.
This YANKEES TEAM are scary !!!! And imagine when JUDGE start hit a A HOME RUNS ??? 🔥🔥🔥🔥SOOOO SCARY TEAM
The games have been extremely well played, they have been exciting and most of all Soto, Verdugo and Cabrera show swag...they are different than the old stoic Yankees. They look like they are having a blast. Although a short sample size, this 24 team reminds me of the 98 team, they know they are never out of a game. What a fun start!
Soto will sign a 11 year 700 million dollar contract at the end of the season
Make Soto a Yankee for life!!
Thank you for bringing the song back.
Ty for bringing the old song back
That wasn't just any old team they swept; that was one of the better teams of the entire '23 season. It was never a cakewalk, but this team fought and just kept cranking out base hits after base hits, and solid defense and it was enough every time. I am really hyped for this '24 Yanks season.
What a way to start the season! 3 games in Arizona then we finally head home to open our home schedule.
In Soto I'm seeing a power hitter who knows when to simply slap the ball for a base hit. Either to start a rally or drive in a run it's really game changing. I would love it if Judge and Stanton could cut down on their swings with two strikes to do the same. Just going with the pitch and putting it in play makes a difference. That's what the Yankees of the late 90's did!
The Yankees sweeping the Astros - in a 4 Game Series at that - wouldn't even been a fleeting thought during last season. Let's take this momentum back to the Bronx 💥
Beautiful win...nice save by Berti..looking forward to see the boys tomorrow at Phoenix l ⚾️
God, it feels good to sweep this team in their stadium. Let's go, Yankees!
Oh God wait until Judge gets started!
clay never fails to give us heart attacks
So good to see yankees go the other way and not try and pull everything. Hence Soto all series.
It is what the Yankees used to do before they signed Jason Giambi in 2002. Then the Yankees became hr derby.
All three outfielders have done exceptionally well in this series, esp Verdugo. I wasn't too keen about him coming to the Yankees having played with Boston and all, but he's proven to be a good fit.
Soto Is the most complete player in the batting Cage WOW knows the strike zone son well
Outro theme back!
That pitch to Altuve was absolutely on a tee.
Juan soto makes the difference
Yankees sweep the series, leaving Houston with their tail between their legs in their own yard
Good for Boone to put Berti in third today
Defense. Outstanding.
