Even though they are almost equal in terms of numbers…The other team’s “basic play” was neglected, and the “humiliation” caused by a deadly challenge |

The Yankees lost to the Dodgers with a WS of 1 win and 4 losses.

The Dodgers, who have pitchers Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, defeated the Yankees 4 wins and 1 loss in the World Series. Joel Sherman, a reporter for the American newspaper “New York Post,” pointed out the “differences” between the two teams with the headline “The Dodgers knew the Yankees’ fatal weakness and exposed it brutally .” .

The Dodgers hit .206 with 7 home runs and 25 runs scored, while the Yankees hit .212 with 9 home runs and 24 runs scored. With similar numbers, “On paper they were balanced, but in reality, the Yankees made big mistakes in Games 1 and 5.”

In the 5th inning, outfielder Aaron Judge and infielder Anthony Volpey made errors that caused a loss of momentum. The newspaper said, “The Yankees gave the Dodgers one gift after another,” and were harsh about their defense in the fifth inning, “It may be the worst defensive inning in the history of the Series Universe.”

As the level of competition rises, the flaws in the fundamentals of the game are all too apparent. it’s the same every year: (batters) hit more home runs, (pitchers) hit more whiffs. ” he said, indicating the current situation.

The Yankees had three hits against the fence in this series, but two of them were singles thanks to Betts’ excellent defense. “Even Hall of Fame players like Betts deal with balls that bounce off the outfield walls with real purpose. To play baseball well, you must play baseball with passion, focus and pride. , it must be emphasized and practiced without ceasing. “

“What the Dodgers told the players in their scouting meetings was that the Yankees valued talent and neglected fundamental play. very important for (the Dodgers) to put the ball in. The Dodgers’ data also showed that the Yankees’ outfield was said to be the worst, and it was surprising how many times the ball went into the infield without anyone controlling it at relay throw time, and how often would Jazz Chisholm Jr. in awkward positions or just standing in plays.

The same article goes on to say, “I’m sure angry Yankee fans want Boone and Cashman fired. Boone and Cashman want (the players) to play cleaner, and they can make that happen. captain) to implement this at a higher level from within the team?” There was a big difference between the champions of the two leagues.
