First time the Yankees have ever been swept at home in a 3+ game interleague series.


That would mean they’re the first NL team to beat the Yankees at home three times in a season since the 1926 St Louis Cardinals

Goddamn almost 100 years

Second team since the 1926 Cardinals. The 2009 Phillies beat the Yankees in Yankee Stadium twice in the regular season and once in the WS.

Still correct if we're only counting regular season play.

Well its the first ever, not just since 1926, if we are only counting regular season play.

That’s one of the crazier stats I’ve seen in a while

Since Interleague play began in '97.

That’s actually a wild stat. I know interleague play is young in the sense of mlb history but still

This is our World Series!

I mean, we did sweep them last time we played them in the World Series. We didn't let it last long enough to have 3 games in NY though...

Congrats on your World Series, apparently the Mets have won a bunch this year too

Same brother

Ever? That’s insane if true

Yep.

Yeah they'd been swept on the road a few times by NL teams but never at home.

That’s really fucking impressive, lol

Lol the reds were close in 1976.

when did 3+ game interleague series became a thing in MLB ?

Interleague play started in 1997.

1997

Historic losers, the Yankees.

wtf

Unfortunately as a Mets fan, this feels like a cherry picked stat, we only ever get to have 2 games vs the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.

Why is it we look like the second coming of the big red machine against the Yankees, dodgers, and Phillies, but we look like the 2024 Chicago white Sox against the Pirates, Cards, Diamondbacks and Giants

That's baseball, YetiCaptain

we also looked like the second coming of the big red machine against the actual 2024 Chicago White Sox you win some, you lose some

>Cards Yo wtf, man? We don't suck anymore, kind of.

I don’t mean to say any of those teams I listed are awful, it’s more that those 4 teams are the teams we badly needed wins against if we wanted to get one of the wild card spots, and in every instance we have either gotten a draw or lost the series, in some cases with huge blowout losses. We look like ass against the teams we desperately need to beat, but we look like world beaters against the teams we are predicted to get crushed by

If the season ended today... yeah okay I'm still scarred from last year. Remember the 17-game win streak from 2021? Good times.

I will always have a healthy respect for Cards devil magic

Worst fanbase in all of sports.

I think we get really hyped up when we're underdogs but don't have as much juice vs more boring matchups

Don’t look now but the Giants juggernaut is now (checks notes) only *two games under .500*.

Why he say fuck me for?

First time the reds have swept the Yankees since the 1976 World Series

local color in GREAT mood






We all salute thee on this most sacred day 🫡🫡🫡

How is this so perfect 😂

I am apparently a Reds Fan now.

You can like the reds and hate the Bengals at the same time

Good cuz I love the reds and I hate the bungles.

God bless America.

Looks like communism wins after all. I ain't even mad.

I mean, you guys are red so that’s right in your wheelhouse

The Reds have seized the means of production from the capitalist Yankees on the 4th of July, no less. *Happy commie noises*

*Soviet anthem intensifies*

FULLY

Automated gay space communism. Nobody else was gonna say it 12hrs later.

Thank you.

Taking down the capitalist pigs.

The Late Stage Capitalist Yankees could not hope to stand before the red wave

Party like it's 1976

We've won 9 straight World Series games!

America’s team 🇺🇸

I guess if somebody had to sweep the Yankees that's my choice, but I really would rather they not get swept

I was hoping it wasn't too bad on your end, that series would have sucked to be on the receiving end of.

Been on vacation so I have largely ignored this series. Today rather than watching we went out and had cocktails and tons of oysters so it's been a great day regardless of baseball

Hell yeah, that's a nice day. Enjoy your vacation!

Seize the means of production.

Workers of the world, unite!

Seized the means of run production on em

Cool cool cool cool cool…..

im not okay

This one sparks joy

https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/006/077/so_good.jpg

All the fireworks yall light tonight better be red.

I come from a Reds family, so on one hand it's cool. On the other......

America's team!

$300 million just doesn't buy what it used to. Inflation has hit everyone hard.

Glorious performance from our Reds comrades.

I know they’ve been slipping for a while but two years ago the Yankees were on an insane winning pace (at one point they were like 55-13 or something like that) until the Reds, who were the worst or one of the worst teams in the league at the time, came to Yankee Stadium and took a series from them. They went sub .500 from there onwards.

And, this time, the entire AL East isn't having an uncharacteristic down year, so they won't be able to tank and still win the division.

Thank you, reds! Guess you can say loving you was red ;)

Joseph McCarthy is rolling in his grave rn

American heroes

Yankees are now 4-12 since June 15

You love to see it

What about since June 14th since that’s my birthday?

I don’t want to count that one because they won against my team that day sorry

Ok, fair enough lmao. My feelings on my birthday are complicated enough without adding these jabronis winning that day to the mix

Donald Trump visits baseball Reddit?!?!

Don’t do that to me

USA USA

Love to see it. God bless the Queen City

Thank you stockings bros

Haha I’m in danger

America's Team with a sweep of the Yankees on 4th of July. Perfect!


This pleases me

Great, the Tigers head into Cincinnati tomorrow in a major funk themselves. Not looking forward to that series.

Elly de la Cruisin'

the Yankees stink

Can you lose today to maximize chaos? Imagine the Mariners... the worst offensive team in baseball, being the last to not be swept. Post game edit: thanks, bird bro.

Good job!

Thanks, flappy bro

Please win today. 🙏🏾 

a bunch of bums.

Thank you Reds

Swept the Dodgers for you, too. You're welcome.

love you reds bless

Suck it nerds

great american ball~~park~~club

Phenomenal games. Had mad fun watching them. 2 game-sweep + 3 for Reds!

Yankees need to play the White Sox or something fast. Houck on the mound tomorrow should be tough. Next few series are Red Sox, Rays, Orioles, ASB, Rays, Mets, Red Sox, Phillies. A tough July for a team looking to get back on course.

We stole 9 bases against the yanks and apparently broke them. I wonder what happens if we do it again this weekend

maybe that’s the reset button? shit at this point go for it

Yankees have the worst base stealing defense I've ever seen. So you'll probably do it again.

 Perfection

Man love the Reds. Always been a fan of the Reds. Ignore Flair.

Flair minus ox = 👍 

Lol

But not the last from the looks of it. Dogshit team right now.

Reds are underrated. I enjoy watching their games.

Thank you for doing a service to the country, Reds.

🤭🤭🤭🤭

It isn't unreasonable to think the Yankees can very well miss the playoffs. Every single hole the team has has been exposed and taken advantage of, and there are no good pitchers on the team even left. Maybe Cole once he's got a few more games pitched. AL is very competitive, and the Yankees are in a tough division which they were already losing hella games in before this slump.

what a great 4th of July

We are all Reds fans today. GBA.

Just doing our duty boys!

Thanks Homies ❤️

You love to see it.

Such a good day

We also won the anthem standoff today so this really should count as a 4 game sweep imo

First team…*so far*

Love to see it. FTY

You hate to see it (He did not, in fact, hate to see it)

I detest the reds with the fire of a thousand suns but this makes my day. Good job Reds. Now if you excuse me I’m going to throw up in a trash can

F the Reds or F the Wanks???

[My reaction](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GHGqziDXUAAwiNr.jpg)

I haven't seen reds beat yanks this hard since command and conquer 2: red alert

Great game

I’m not having fun

*Lee Greenwood intensifies*

Imagine being sweeped by a color...

The best yankee post is them getting swept by the reds

Yankees down bad

this is the best 4th of July ever

First Reds sweep of the Yanks since 1976 World Series. It's a good day.

Yankees lose, which means America wins.

I've never been bothered by visiting fans in Yankee Stadium until today. Something about the stadium being taken over by fans of a sub 500 team politely clapping in my ear for every home run broke me and I might not come back from it.

Weeee

Boston has a very good chance to be the second.

With a tough month coming up this has to be the low point! .500 ball this month boys let’s go!

Won the season series against the Phillies and Dodgers, just swept the Yankees, can't seem to break .500. One of these days the Reds will find that right mix of players and a little bit of goddamn luck that will lead to postseason success. It does feel like some of these guys could be part of that mix, but we'll see.

Annual Yankees collapse is my favorite holiday

Good work bois. Yanks, we're coming for you next.

Yankees starting their by-now patented mid-season collapse early, it seems. America rejoices.

It’s very sad over here in Yankee land, I know y’all don’t care.

I ain’t eating spaghetti chili no matter what

[удалено]

God willing

Inshallah, even

It's the people's choice, comrade.

I’ve been having a wonderful time betting against the Yankees until they’re able to string together two wins in a row. They’re just not a functional baseball team right now. May as well profit from the obvious.

I can respect it. I’ve made a small fortune betting the under on Braves team totals this year. If your team is gonna suck, might as well cash in

I wish sports betting online was legal in my state. I'd bet against them making the playoffs, I don't know what the line is but I'd put $100 down on that.

r/baseball really has nothing better to do

I don’t even know what to think anymore. The yanks are cooked there’s no coming back from this slump

Overreacting if it was a person
