The 5th inning had to be hard for NYY fans to watch. Wow.I'm taking down my avatar and changing the signature line....
It was really hard for Boone to watch also!The 5th inning had to be hard for NYY fans to watch. Wow.
Today?? Naw, they would have to win the next two games in Los Angeles.With their backs against the wall and facing elimination, the Yankees tried their hardest to lose the game and the series.
Gerrit Cole pitched his guts out. Too bad he didn't cover first base on a slow roller. The Yankees might be world champions today.
Yes, the better team won, and that's coming from a lifetime Yankee fan.Something happened in the Yankee dugout after the 4th inning. They were still on the winning road that they finally found in Game 4. Then, we started to see rookie mistakes. It was back to Games 1, 2, and 3.
The pitcher doesn’t cover first base. The catcher interferes with a batter. The Dodgers did not get to the Series because they are nice guys who don’t capitalize on their opponents mistakes.
And, FWIW, I think the Dodgers just executed the tough plays better. Example, The throw to the plate in Game 3 to keep the Yankees from scoring was text book perfect.
