Did Didi really struck out bunting with 2 strikes? Only had the gamecast.

He tried to bunt down the 3rd baseline with the shift on, twice in a row.

Amazing

That was my ugh post.

 

[rrlbees]

They can’t possibly really think they deserved a run in scrubby fashion like that can they?

Hit the ball if you want a run.

Huh???

 

[OrangeDW]

Huh???

Bang bang play at second(should’ve been the 5th out of the inning if our guys did their jobs), fielder gets hurt, pitcher calls timeout...and you want a run out of that? Because the ump was slow to react?

I really like Didi, but it was not a good choice to try to slap/drag it like that. If he squares up and pushes it, he's on. Easily. But, what the heck?

What pitcher called timeout? Replay didn’t show any and they panned the field. And Torres was still running when the ump raised his hands. So I guess a deep fly ball and the outfielder catches it but hits wall and goes down, runners can’t advance.

He was trying to call timeout.

Regardless of if the ump “should’ve” stopped it or not, seems like a pretty cheap and lucky way to get a run...runner on second and a slow ground ball hit to third, and the second baseman gets hurt.

I certainly don’t want anyone to get injured, but in terms of its affect on the game , the only thing that matters is if the play was called directly, cheap or.not. Runs all count the same.

I mean...I guess I get it.

At the same time, the Yanks weren’t exactly smoking the ball.

I have my own concerns - we play guys out of their best positions so much. With a normal second baseman and a normal first baseman, that inning is already over - which is our own problem to deal with.

From a pitcher’s standpoint, the guy basically had to get 6 outs - though to be fair that bunt attempt handed him one.

Did umpires screw Yankees in loss to Dodgers?

Breaking down the play that had Gleyber Torres calling out an umpire for doing a bad job.

It's a motherhood issue. A player went down, apparently injured, so they stop the play. It's not rugby or hockey. If it was Torres or DJ on the ground, we'd be screaming "Stop the music!"

That’s not how baseball is played, nor any sport. Or you get what we got, a faked injury.

I don't disagree, just describing what happened.

 

[Hoo's That]

What continually amazes me in all the YES home run replays is the speed and placement of the pitch. I would have to think most all of those are mistakes because I can't fathom how a pitcher could possibly believe he would get a 91 mph belt-high pitch that's over the center of the plate past Judge (his homer on Friday).

 

[OttoinGrotto]

This game is off to a weird start.

 

[rrlbees]

Maybe judge is coming around?

Thanks, Kersh.

Overthinking by taking Ottavino out here?

Yes

 

[rrlbees]

Well that worked out

 

[JeremyCuse]

Any chance we let Khanle hit here so he can start the 8th, he looked locked in
