Seems like there been a lot of rule changes over the last 10 years or so.

I think it was a pick your poison situation. Betts has been much better lately, and Freeman has been injured and slumping. Not unreasonable to create a force at every bag and pitch to Freeman in that scenario. The real critique IMO is just whether Cortes was the right guy in that spot.

I’ve never seen the “fielder falls into stands with ball and therefore the runners get a base” thing before. No idea if that’s new. I’m guessing they pitch to Betts with runners on first and second but no idea

Question for people who have watched baseball within the last 15 years: if the runners hadn’t advanced when the left fielder fell into the stands catching Ohtani’s foul ball would the Yankees have pitched to Betts, or still gone lefty v lefty? (Back then they would have brought in a righty to face Betts, but apparently you can’t do that anymore. That’s why I’m wondering where the conventional wisdom stands these days)

Graterol also hadn’t pitched in ages and had no trouble getting through an inning.

Feel bad for Nestor, he obviously wanted this moment so badly. Freaking brutal loss. Need to win Game 2.

CORTES just came off Injury and you put him in that situation, that’s on Boone

93 MPH fastball that caught plenty of plate. Not a good pitch.

Boone’s dumb shit sucks the fun out of every Yankee season.

Yeah that could be the end of Boone

Yankees aren’t going to keep this Dodgers offense down like they did tonight again with Rondon and Schmidt

How can you go with a pitcher just off the injury list in a situation like that?
Cortes hadn’t pitch in weeks!
The Dodgers were ready, they did both swing on the first pitch.
And people ask why Yankees fans want Boone fired…
