Dodgers 4 Yankees 1

Did anyone notice?

Near the end of game 3, Alex Verdugo hit a home run. He made contact and watched the ball as it flew back, back, back. He's lucky it cleared the wall. From the video I saw, it didn't clear it by much. Had that ball stayed in play, he would have looked quite foolish.

While arguably not as bad as Cole's lazy fielding, it seems indicative of a larger problem with the Yankees. They didn't seem like a team that plays hard and focuses on fundamentals.

Now, maybe Verdugo crushed that pitch and it was a no-doubter. Either way, bust it down the line. Good things tend to happen when teams that play like that.

Yankees had the secret weapon to stop Freddie Freeman but didn't use it/him...

Indeed! Just ask Ty Cobb or Pete Rose.

I basically said the same thing in another thread about Gleyber Torres game 4 homer. Barely cleared the right field wall and he’s hardly out of the box when it lands 1 row in.
