Lots of gaffes, mistakes, bad cutoff throws, not hustling, not covering first base in the fifth inning of Game Five of the World Series ...

The Yankees are in first place and they are playing well overall.

There's also this unsettling feeling that they haven't learned their lesson.

Volpe bad throw, Goldschmidt doesn't keep the ball in front of him, Dominguez bad throw, LeMahieu can't catch the cutoff throw (no advance), Grisham lazy play on a Red Sox single, Volpe caught off guard on the non-tag at second base, Volpe with a horrible cutoff throw home on a play where the runner was going to be safe anyway, but still ... if the guy is going to be safe, don't throw it; and if you're going to throw it, don't throw it 15 feet away from home plate; this is the major leagues ... Dominguez with a baserunning "gaffe."

Lose the game by one run.
