CC Sabathia drops truth bomb after Yankees' World Series loss to Dodgers

10/31/2024 11:59 AM

The New York Yankees fell in Game 5 to the Los Angeles Dodgers, crowning the Dodgers as World Series Champions for the 2024-25 MLB season. Following the playoff heartbreak for the Yankees, former pitcher CC Sabathia tipped his cap to the Dodgers in his post on X, formerly Twitter.

“Congrats to Dave Roberts, Mook, and the Dodgers…hell of a series and deserving of winning it all. Played complete in every phase to win the trophy,” Sabathia said.

It certainly wasn’t the series that anyone in baseball expected. The Yankees looked to be evenly-matched with the Dodgers offensively and defensively. But in the end, the Dodgers made it abundantly clear that the Yankees were not on the same level. The Dodgers’ plate discipline was superb, and it translated to a 70.8 slugging percentage for the series.

Yankees bullpen falters in Game 5

A considerable strength, and improvement for the Yankees this season has been with the bullpen. But it was quickly put on the back burner when the Dodgers’ bats erupted at the midpoint of Wednesday’s game. The Yankees squandered a 5-0 lead, as the Dodgers outscored them 7-1 from the fifth inning on. Yankees reliver Tommy Kahnle received the loss, as he allowed two earned runs in the top of the eighth for the Dodgers to take the lead.
