Game Thread: Yankees @ Twins 6:40pm 6/8/2022

Dart by Hicks there.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So many singles....

 

I am greedy enough to be sad they ran into an out.

[rwilfong86]

Aaaaand another out on the Basepaths. Out by a mile.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Good to see aggressive base running by Gio

He had no chance of scoring there. Super frustrating to see a rally killed by bad baserunning again after 3 times on Sunday.

Yeah, I don’t really have the energy for this place tonight, I just want to watch what is hopefully a good ballgame

It’s been a good one so far!

That’s not bad baserunning, that’s bad coaching. Urshela can’t see the outfielder. 

[wsnydes]

Hicks follows up a nice play in the field with a gigantic squibber down the 3B line!

[stringer bell]

Really a terrible send by Tony. Gio held up a count until the ball got past him and he’s …………..slow. Hicks was playing pretty shallow and has a great arm. It wasn’t close. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And they got hit.

 

Not too concerned.

Yep. Call it for what it is 

[mnfireman]

Quit using the shift, I think it gives more hits than outs....

I'm wondering how many outs on the basepaths Tommy Watkins has directed the team into this season.

Twins-Yankees games usually deteriorate when we take a small lead.  Let’s break the pattern.

[Vanimal46]

Celestino panicked there and made a whoopsie.

However, Gio DID make a bad baserunning play when he didn't advance to second on the throw home on his single. 

[LVTwinsfan]

The Twins have the Yankee yips now

[Mill1634]

Obviously that wasn't an easy play, but Celestino "should've" caught that ball. Went right off the bottom of the open glove. 

[bighat]

Well those 10 minutes with a lead sure was fun while it lasted.

[Steve71]

Celestino needs to catch that ball.  Difficult play, but ball hit him right in the glove.  Would have been a double play as Hicks was already to 2nd base.  CANNOT give loaded teams all the extra outs and extra bases without getting penalized....

Eh, I don’t think that was necessarily a sure thing

He should have been on 2nd even if the throw was to 2nd

I had a feeling things were gonna start unraveling when I saw that hit that ended with the ball unraveling. 

[wsnydes]

Score one, give one back...

Sigh

[Mill1634]

I would not let Archer face Judge a 3rd time, but I suspect he will.

[mnfireman]

Take note boys, a SF still plates a run whereas a K does not....

What? The throw went home. There is zero reason not to be on the next base when they throw ahead of you. The Yankees' took advantage of Celestino just earlier this inning.
