I think it was a mistake putting Vladdy in the #2 spot, and he has been less effective ever since they did.

Springer
Bichette
Vladdy
Hernandez
Semien

Espinal doesn’t need no stinking glove.

You could flip Semien and Bichette in that order as well.

Yeah. It's worth a shot flipping Vladdy back to the 3 hole soon. He's really fighting it right now.

Thank goodness I didn't eventually buy tickets to this game. It's moving so quickly on everyone making contact on the first pitches.

Yankees are winning again. They're the only team hotter than the Jays right now. Looking ahead at their schedule and it's super soft from here on out too.

I don’t think it’s what spot he is in so much as he’s never played this much in a season and he’s likely fatigued. They gave him that day off last week and I could see some more in the future.

Awe crap. Walking the 8 hitter to lead off the inning is never good. A weak single and now they're threatening.

What's Guerrel stretching the opposite way on that play? Should've been a given out, without Verdugo misstepping.

Stupid call, but it worked out great because Bogaerts is retired now too.

That did look a bit like obstruction. Not much a path left to first by Gurriel. Does it matter if it was inadvertent? I’m not sure it should actually matter.

It has to be runner obstruction

And it clearly was, you can’t block first with your leg

Good thing it doesn’t matter either way

That Hazel Mae update is interesting.

I only see the angle from behind 1st. Do we have any other angles to definitively show Gurriel touched the bag?

You could see his shoe bend from the contact to the base on that shot they just showed
