Gary Sanchez just made one of the most embarrassing plays I have ever seen. 1st and 2nd for the Mets. Hitter ropes a liner to left. Runner tries to score from 2nd, the ball is thrown in to Gary with he runner at least 20 ft away, and Sanchez gets cute and swipes the tag late up while the runner slides and gets his foot on the plate first. I'm tired of this lazy moron. Boone should have pulled him right there and he should be DFAed after the game. Bring in one of our minor Cs. This franchise needs a major change this offseason. I get his bat is valuable, but he's the worst defensive catcher I've ever seen. They should turn him into an outfielder.

Torres is pissing me off too.

Not familiar with the 2nd verse version, but nonetheless a very awesome national anthem this evening

Rizzo has really turned into a disappointment, after such a strong start. I wonder if the words from Voit had something to do with it

Thank you, Aaron Judge....
Without your two home runs and your diving catch in the 9th inning tonight, the Yankees would be looking at a bunch of brooms tomorrow night!

A bad football day got even worse with a late inning Yankees loss. The good thing about today is that the day ends.

this was possibly the worst underachieving team I've seen, since watching baseball, starting in the early 70's. Really pathetic, given the skill sets.

Losing 5-0 today after three innings to the lowly Twins.

Torres to 2nd announced. DJ to 3rd, wade at SS. You can blame Torres for this, but imo the real issue was signing DJ. He's not a natural 2nd baseman, but being forced to play him there put Torres out of position playing SS too. The one big contract mistake that barely gets a mention is DJs, not only is he not producing at his pay level at the plate, he also caused dislocation of Yankees infielders.

DJ is a natural 2nd baseman. He won gold gloves there. Unfortunately Torres isn't a good SS like they were expecting. He stinks actually. Urshela is a very solid 3rd baseman, range aside. DJL is having an off year. It happens. Torres is having a horrific year at the plate and in the field. They should just keep Velazquez over Wade though.

They should just keep Velazquez over Wade though. at 6'4" and not particularly fast, he's not a natural at 2nd or SS. Compared to mets who are superior at those two positions baez is 6' and lindor is 5'11". I liked DJ a lot at first and at 3rd id say that's 2nd best spot for him in the infield. Basically since this team places such an emphasis on hitting, and power in particular, they just kind of throw players around on defense. If it were me id overweight the SS position based on their defense, not offense. It would have meant the painful decision of not re-signing DJ, and using that money to land a real SS instead.

Apparently plan now is put Urshela at SS. I think that's better than wade. Wade is always going to be a utility backup kind of guy.

He played well enough but the issue is his range. So what is their set up? 3rd - DJL SS - Urshela 2B - Torres 1B - Void/Rizzo Not much range at all up the middle.

Not that it should matter, but their bats are alive early ....3 HRs and 5 runs thru 3 innings. With Cole on th mound and looking good, jaded fan that I am can't help but wonder which "closer" will blow another big lead.

horror show in bottom of 8th, torres inexplicably doesnt throw to 2nd base to get lead runner from first on grounder -- most likely would have been a double play and lead to a scoreless inning. then right on cue Green gives up 2-run HR to put Yankees behind by a run. In a game we needed to keep pace w/ red sox and blue jays, both of whom won today. maybe it's time to just take torres out of the lineup. he's not the same player he was a few years ago

He looks confused on the field. The did manage to pull this one out of their collective asses though, and Torres did score in the 9th as some minor redemption. His fielding is simply unacceptable at this point though.

Horrific ending to a near-must win game. Boone is the worst kind of manager -- puts his players in position to fail.

Yanks need to move on from Sanchez. He's simply terrible. it's not just one player. The team doesn't consistently a) score runs or b) pitch well. I'd think you need at least a or b to be a good team, both a and b to be great.

Sevy is back!
Ks the first batter he faced in 707 days.
2ks in the inning. 1 hit. 0 runs.
Nice to see him on the mound again.
