Hawk seems to think it was because how many times we have been screwed by the home plate rule. Makes the catchers think way too much

Its its a good thing didnt catch it hes blocking the plate.

Even so, he was in position and he just let it skip past him. Didn't seem like he was blocking the plate to me

Nieto struggling of late

Inconsistent playing time will do that

Yeah, seems he has lost his concept of the strike zone. It will be interesting to see if they send him to AAA next year or keep him as the back up

I agree, but obviously, the New York review guys always think the opposite of whatever actually happened. That being said, had Nieto caught the ball and tagged him out, it would've been reviewed and he would've been ruled safe. It's a lose-lose situation.

Ball should of been caught easy no bad hop at all.

Sanchez's 1st career RBI. 5-3

NYY 5-3

Haha lindstrom warming. The end

I think we will acquire a left handed bat to platoon with Flowers and Nieto will start the year at AAA to get some at bats and work on defense.

Where are all of the posters that came at me for saying Nieto shouldn't have got more time when Flowers was playing horrifically? Awfully quiet nowadays.

 

Hard to b**** about a player who plays once every 5 games and happens to have a bad game.

Abreu with some good at bats

Nice AB Abreu, but now Dunn is up against the best non-closing reliever in baseball. This won't end well.

No problem with Flowers as the platoon guy with a solid lefty hitter. I don't think Flowers should be the starter next year.

Hit number 20 Dunn

Thought that was long gone

His bat speed is so slow anymore.

Betances pitches an awful lot. Considering the Yankees aren't contending, you would think Girardi would dial it back a bit on one of his best relievers

 

Yea I know they could make the wildcard, but this team isn't winning anything

Not b****ing about Nieto. I am pitching about the people who wanted him to start three games a week. They saw his 265ish average and pleaded that he should play 2-3 times a week. Conveniently ignoring his unsustainable BABIP, receiving issues, the 30%+ strikeout rate and the fact that he's not even a MLB player at this point.

 

I would still like him to play more especially towards the end of the year. Never know how he would do play more consistently

Nice defense that inning! JorDanks and Garcia!

Avi diving just scared me!
