Dodgers’ Joe Kelly doubles down on ‘lazy’ Yankees stars who turned World Series into a ‘mismatch’
NY Post
Joe Kelly can’t stop piling on the Yankees after his Dodgers’ five-game World Series conquest.
During the latest installment of his “Baseball Isn’t Boring” podcast, the outspoken Dodgers reliever turned up the heat on his Yankees hate when he called their World Series opponents “lazy,” and that they were the “eighth or ninth” best team in the postseason.
“We had seen it every single game just let them throw the ball to the infield, they can’t make a play,” Kelly said. “… It was a mismatch from the get-go. If we had a playoff re-ranking, they might be ranked the eighth or ninth-best playoff team.
“You’re putting the Padres ahead of them, you’re putting the Phillies ahead of them, you’re putting the Mets ahead of them, you’re putting the Braves ahead of them, and the Braves just got unlucky because they had to play that doubleheader.
“I mean, the Guardians played like crap, but the Guardians played better [defense] and better baseball all around. It was just a complete mismatch.”
Kelly’s comments confirm a report from The Post’s Joel Sherman.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
