I absolutely saw the mitt touch the helmet. You didn't see that?
I think you saw his arm, not the glove.
That's what I saw too. Looked clear to me it was his arm that hit EE's helmet not the glove. Now if his arm is considered part of the tag then I understand the call but I always thought you had to make contact with the glove or ball on a tag play.

You're correct, has to be the glove with the ball in it

To tag a player out, the hand with the ball must contact the player.
A force play, any part of the player holding the ball can touch the bag.

Yeah that's what I've always thought but figured maybe it wasn't the case since I only saw the arm contact EE before he stepped on first. Thought maybe all these years I was mistaken and they consider the arm part of the glove. Lol.
is ice cold. Gleyber and on occasion Judge can't be the only offense. We now have enough of a sample on most of the roster who perform well in the playoffs. Cash needs to go away from all-or-nothing guess hitters, they tend to come up small in the playoffs against good pitching. How many failed playoff runs do we need to see that?
On another note, if Stanton's salary is cited as a reason on why Cole isn't an option this offseason, Cashman has to answer for that as well.
The down the line view isn't where you see it, it's the view from EE's right side where the bottom of the glove appears to pretty clearly bend when it makes contact.

And batting Gardy 3rd and Torres 5th is the dumbest thing I’ve seen!!

Sadly, I don’t think the way we operate is gonna change. We’re going to add to the bullpen again, minor moves for the offense, and maybe a cheap starter or trade for a guy who has good stuff and control, but hasn’t blossomed

Don't say that guys here suck off Boone and think it was right move.
Jomboy is convinced its conclusive but All I see is the helmet and glove going down but it's either EE ducking or the forearm hitting him. No way I'm convinced its conclusive. Meh its moot we did nothing else. Let's get'em manana
This is it for the Ottavino fetish. He’s a good pitcher, but insisting on using him against their very best hitters in the important spots night in and out is sub-optimal. He’s not that dominant.
RE: All the cockroaches have shown up tonight, I see Â
Why even bother. Best to avoid game threads when all the DBs show up. Why get ajita reading moronic nonsense from all the trolls looking to get under your skin.
the Yankees having a hard time hitting both Verlander and Cole.
The only bit of it that adds insult to injury was that they managed to outlast Verlander and get stymied by their BP, and that Cole looked a bit off today and they couldn't take advantage.
Otherwise, if someone had told you they'd be down 2-1 going into game 4 at YS, I don't think you'd be overly upset or surprised.
That game has the Yankees jumping out to a 5 or 6 run lead early. I'd be shocked if it's not something like a 10-3 final.
With a probable rain out, I wonder if Houston goes Verlander in game 5
I think they will. Game 4 if it's their bullpen or Grienke, won't matter. That's a game that I see the Yankees unloading early, the fans are into it and shit snowballs. Houston throws the back of their pen to soak up innings and they get all kinds of fucked up. But they will save their bullets for Verlander and Cole. Hinch is no dummy. He knows he will need to steal a game without those guys. Yanks jump on them early, he will waive the white flag quick.

It has to be. He has flubbed every chance he's gotten in the playoffs, both in the Twins series and this one. Great season but he just isn't getting it done.
Still can't believe Betances tore his Achilles just doing a little jump o the mound.

He was dominant during the year until September. I really think he has gotten arm tired and lost command of the zone. Too many walks.
... Glove makes contact with helmet - ( New Window )
I definitely see the helmet move. Something hits his head. I’m not compelled, with certainty, by your GIF that it was his glove. I do think it’s possible.
Either way, it certainly wasn’t the reason the Yankees lost today. Lineup may need a shakeup. Bullpen pecking order needs an evaluation now as well. We are building a sample size on some of these guys. Have to learn from it. Some players are clearly not up to the moment, others are (Hicks, Torres, Judge, DJ, Britton, Chapman, Kahnle, Cessa).

I forgot about the extra day. So with a rainout, Houston could greinke Thursday and verlander Friday. Shit. While I know we can take Greinke, having to see that big three six games in a row

“What a good play.”
Sanchez, Didi, gardner are all lost at the plate. eE is too even tho he had a hit tonight.
Boone bats 2 of those guys 3-4.
Morrow is a must win

What took you so long? I expected this post before the ball was even caught.
And the Yankees are going to murder the Astros in Game 4, if any game will be a blowout, that's the one.
But they need to beat Cole or Verlander once, they had their chance to steal that Game 2.

They had many opportunities today and Sunday night to score. 7 LOB in the first 4 innings today.

The down the line angle appears to show what you think is his glove hitting the helmet is actually Gurriel’s arm.
It looks like his glove on the one angle, on the other it looks like it’s his arm.
In other words, call should have stood as it was called on the field.
Nice two innings by Cessa.
On another note, if Stanton's salary is cited as a reason on why Cole isn't an option this offseason, Cashman has to answer for that as well.
Now it is time for the hitters to show up.

Yep and where are those zoom in freeze frame close ups we would get during the regular season?
didn't work.

Tonight it was a massive infestation Greg. You had guys writing season post mortems in the 4th inning.
