Sisco?

Then you end up with Velazquez in center, Valaika at SS and either Holaday or Sisco at first. Downgrading three defensive positions.

BALL FOUR WALKS him in!

Why not ...all you needed was a fly ball

Or Holaday at 1B and Sisco catching.   Holaday has played 1B some.

Nice job there -- too far out of the zone for CB to screw things up.

How do you call back to back breaking balls down 2-1 and 3-1 to a back up catcher with the bases loaded.

 

[scOtt]

One more in! LeM can't handle it!

[Aristotelian]

Yanks defense has been horrible.

If -- and I don't know but there is circumstantial evidence -- Nunez, Iglesias, and Mullins are all unavailable, then we have a very thin bench.   Sisco is pretty much it.

Using your last available bench player in the 6th inning is probably not wise, especially if it means hurting your defense when you already have a lead.

YES announcers: "What a play by LeMahieu!"

[Aristotelian]

Great play! More difficult than the one LeMahieu botched.

I’ve been working all day, but I’ve been distracted by the game, what a great game this has been, and now I can spend the rest of this season and all of the off-season screaming about how Akin and Kremer Should have been up and Hess and Phillips should have been down.

[spiritof66]

Nice play by Hanser. But he had a lot more time to throw. I wonder whether he knew the hitter was a real slow runner.
