The problem with having an all-or-nothing guy like Sano come up during a rally like that - he doesn't make productive outs.

 

Marwin's at-bat was just awful considering his experience and talent.

 

Cave, well, we all expected that. He looked overmatched.

 

This team just doesn't know how to scratch runs together.

There are no words. We are doomed. That was the worst exhibition of hitting I have ever seen in this situation. SAno, Gonzo and Cave with 3 simply horrific AB's. I knew when Rosario's ball didn't clear the fence we were in trouble.

 

My goodness...the Yankees are in the Twins head bigtime. gonzo and Cave looked ridiculous up there. This is just so damned frustrating.

Yankees would have scored at least two in that situation.

 

They'll probably remove any doubt about that in the next couple of innings.

Gonzalez strikes out swinging at a pitch out of the strike zone and Cave follows up by watching strike three. That was as awful a showing with the bases loaded as I can remember.

They had a 10% chance of winning the series entering the game, based on the 2-2-1 format's history.

 

If they score 0 runs with bases loaded and no outs, that probability drops to .000000001%

 

Ok, fine, I just made that up by mashing a bunch of zero's, but I bet it's true anyway.

Best kind of stats

 

But we got them sitting on the pinocle of hubris. Well done Cave. Next time they'll think they can do that again...

He needs to get that runner in from third base.  This team can't afford 'good' pop outs.

It was a terrible AB....you just can't be doing this in an elimination game. Sorry. Not feeling the least bit charitable about a pop out tothe mound.

On the bright side, the Twins made Severino work and he won't be in the game much longer.

 

So, Yankee bullpen!

 

Oh, wait....

That was not a terrible AB from Sano.

 

Get a grip.

That last pitch tells me that Cave is guessing...and just guessed on defense...not even close. We look bush league.

Now Cave misplays one and Yanks are in business. Twins will regret not scoring because the game will get out of hand shortly. Nothing is going right....again.

Cave almost had that, in the sense that both he and the ball were briefly in the air at the same time.

 

Hey, it coulda been worse, he could have just taken a running dive between pitches.
