Davis was ruled out after the throw from Indians first baseman Carlos Santana. But Gomes went down on the ground, and after a visit from the trainer, needed assistance leaving the field. The 27-year-old Gomes, who slugged 21 homers for the Indians last year, is off to a slow start this season, going 3-for-20 in the first five games....

Yankees Center Field Mix Up Looms Large As Astros Strike Early In Alcs Game 3 Win

Just ask Yankees ace Gerrit Cole. The New York hurler appeared to have gotten himself out of the second inning of ALCS Game 3 when Astros catcher Christian Vasquez sent a routine fly ball to center field.

Yankees Broadcaster Hilariously Botches Giancarlo Stanton Non Home Run Call In Wild Card Game What Did I Do Wrong

Broadcasters make mistakes, and in 2021, that’s more of an expected outcome than it has been in years past.

Yasiel Puig Gets Himself Out Of Mess With Nifty Sleight Of Hand

The only reason Puig was even in that spot was his hustle (recklessness?) on the bases. He scored from second on a failed double play turn. Not too many players can pull that off. Puig’s scamper was one of LA’s few highlights in an 8-2 loss that ended the Dodgers’ winning streak at six. Worse, Puig later left the game because of a sore hamstring.

The lack of this particular option became even more obvious when compared to the PS4, which launched with that very feature, complete with a dedicated ‘Share’ button on the DualShock 4....
