Jazz Chisholm Jr. Says Yankees Still Have World Series 'in the Bag' Despite G1 Loss

Although the New York Yankees suffered a walk-off loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the 2024 World Series, Jazz Chisholm Jr. is still confident in the team's ability to win the Fall Classic.

"I think we've been doing it all year," Chisholm said, per SNY's Robert Sanchez (h/t Yahoo Sports). "I feel like ain't nothing has changed between us in our clubhouse. We still feel like we've got this in the bag. [It's] not cocky, but we feel confident in ourselves to go out there and win four games."

The 26-year-old helped give the Yankees a one-run lead in the top of the 10th inning on Friday night, but Freddie Freeman hit a grand slam in the bottom of the frame to seal the win.

Chisholm went 2-for-5 with three steals in Game 1, nabbing second and third base following a single in the 10th. He scored on a fielder's choice, putting New York on the verge of a 1-0 series lead. Chisholm's three stolen bases were the most in franchise history during a single World Series game, via YES Network's Erica Block.

The Yankees have already shown that they can bounce back from tough losses during their current postseason run, as they were defeated by the Cleveland Guardians in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series due to a walk-off homer by Jhonkensy Noel.

New York ended up defeating Cleveland in five games to win the team's first AL pennant since 2009.

Chisholm revealed that the Yankees' clubhouse wasn't dejected following the series-opening loss to the Dodgers.

"We're enjoying the moment just as much as them," Chisholm said, per Sanchez. "After that loss I don't feel like the clubhouse was quiet. We were talking amongst each other and saying like 'hey that was a fun baseball game. Let's go do it again tomorrow, but let's come out on top tomorrow'. So it's amazing."

While the optimistic approach from New York will be needed in order to turn the series around, the team still failed to capitalize on an opportunity to stun Los Angeles on the road.

The Yankees will attempt to even the World Series in Game 2 on Saturday night.
