I had the same question.cap-n-jack said:
I guess that's not the base you're going to plus one when the ball goes into the dugout? Must not be.
Bad break right there on Kemp.
Kemp committing a cardinal sin
WHY DID HINCH TELL TONY TO RUN

That's not on Kemp. Just awful luck

Wow, bad luck there
If that pitch had been 99 mph instead of 100, we've got a guy on third.
As my wife just said: ****ing Yankees.

Don't even try to blame that on Kemp.

Can't make the 3rd out there. You're already going on contact and scoring on any single... 3rd not worth the risk, even with the luck.
How is that Kemps fault? It sailed over Sanchez's head.

Just unlucky, ball was past you go. No way to know it would bounce that perfect back to him

More like a lucky play for the Yankees.
Nvm
You absolutely take third there because you could be taking home the very next pitch with the way things were going there. Just a bad break.

Bad bad break right there
Chapman may be my least favorite player in the league. He's not a good pitcher, he just has a lightning bolt for an arm and is left handed and tall. He routinely misses his spots and gets away with it because he throws 10000000 mph. Fk that dude.
Just horrid luck. We aren't meant to win this game.
No mistake there, just bad luck.

I know they did. The Indians have a good lineup and the game was certainly not over by any means. Giles has had struggles this year so even more reason to not bring in a guy just to "get him work". Especially a lineup like the Indians who grind out at bats and will force you to throw strikes. That's a very royals 2015 type lineup that's just aggravating

Yes it is worth the risk. Sanchez can't block a ****ing thing. Passed ball could win the game.

So again, why wasn't it base +1 when the wild pitch went into the dugout?
And he is an abuser.
I don't think the cardinal sin of being thrown out at 3rd applies to passed balls and wild pitches. Runners have a 90%+ rate of success in advancing in that situation.
And then they set themselves up to score on infield hits, errors passed balls and wild pitches from third.

This makes me crazy because we had a 5 run lead at the time...

Probably 99%. The odds of that ball bouncing right back to Sanchez like that has to be 1% or less.
At least the top of the lineup is up again next inning with Chapman being that erratic. Top of our lineup has a chance if Peacock can do his job here.

I stand by my statement. He throws incredibly hard. That's it.
Totally not mad about Kemp being thrown out. Feel like it was a good call just ran into bad luck. And come on, if that ball didn't bounce right back to Sanchez and skewed to the right or left people would be *****ing he didn't take the base.
Sanchez is the fattest catcher I can remember since Tony Eusebio

Only positive of kemp being thrown out is George hopefully will have the chance to lead off the next inning.
If the ball goes out of play when thrown by the pitcher off the rubber, it's one base (the base the runner was advancing to).
Had he thrown it out of play on a pickoff move it would've been two bases.

Insult to injury is Springer recorded the walk on passed ball so he won't lead off the 11th when we get there
