I can be a little harsh on outfielders, thanks to DiMaggio. He said a lot of so-called great catches would not have needed to be so dramatic if the outfielder had taken a better route to the ball and got a better jump.
Over time, I've noticed that is true. And sadly, if Dominguez had been a bit better of an outfielder, that slam into the wall would not have happened.
That's something that never comes up when noting any deficiencies in a player's defense. I think even an acceptable lack of skill can be dangerous for the player. Like with Jasson.
The Martian made a very nice play against the wall and hung on for the out. May have a concussion. Weathers has the flu, puking and crapping Suzyn says he lost 9 pounds.
I really don’t want want to dump on a young player, but a less clumsy outfielder, say Brett Gardner, would have put himself in position to catch that ball without having to smash into the wall. Now he’s down 4-6 weeks, minimum.

We’ve already punted this game.
Shoe-man @ SS?
Oy vey.
Who the fuck is Brendan Beck?
Mr and Mrs Beck's Son
Hey back to back triples ain't something one sees everyday
Is this the Beck who did I'm a Loser Baby?
Let’s see how many more dingers he gives up and that should answer your question
What happened to the Martian?
2nd round draft pick a few years ago. Of course, immediate TJ surgery.
Crashed into the wall...
Tim, Tim, Tim. Tsk tsk.
Fuck.
Hurt again

Spencer Jones…c’mon down…you’re the next Yankee!!!
LOL, let’s hope not
Also out : José Caballero (left elbow contusion)
Maybe Jones + Volpe can rideshare to the Bronx

martian + wall = volpe and a large take out order of chicken parm
Nice hit, Grish.
Where the hell is Beeks?
Winn will not win.
Was (Not Was)?
Bird warming up. Five run lead may not be enough.
Yeah, like that.
Max Schuemann?
Bud's brother.
Jazz is really an idiot.

All right, I apologize for doubting Weathers'...intestinal fortitude?
We survived Bird, but Doval... Jesus H. Montero.
So, The Martian out with concussion protocol. I assume that'll be okay. The bigger fear is the MRI on his left shoulder.
It takes guts to change your mind like that, Hoss.
Thuuuuuhuuhuuhuuh Yankees Win!!
And this garbage pile keeps winning.
I have to watch that play another couple times. I don't see why he slammed into the wall with such force.
That’s the one second warble…
Thought he misjudged the scoreboard…
I meant the advert screen
Michael Kay's sign-off? "All things going well for the Yanks."
I keep forgetting that was what his grandfather telegraphed from the Titanic: "Just a little turbulence! All things going well!"
Can I start calling Doval "Bhopal"?
Because he's a disaster.
He caught the ball. Last year it looked like making that catch was beyond him.
"Bhopal" Doval?
Fact is, Weathers has never pitched more than 95 innings in any big league season,.
Whether Weathers will weather this illness is up in the air
Dominguez to the IL with AC shoulder sprain.

Got certain ring to it, doesn't it?
I prefer Pineapple. Or maybe just Dole.
