1-7 in extra innings.

"Sanchez told reporters after the game that he wouldn't take back the decision to try and throw Murakami out, even with the third out at the plate, but that he simply needed to make a better throw. Aaron Boone agreed."

This is a stupid thing to say and a misunderstanding of risk vs. reward.

 Also, watch the play again.

A perfect throw and the runners is easily safe. You didn't trick anyone. You say that you thought the runner was slow getting back to third base. You were obviously wrong.

I don't get it.

Dominguez can't track a fly ball, Dominguez can't hit the cutoff man, Volpe doesn't know how to field ground balls or pop ups, Volpe doesn't know how to turn double plays, Volpe can't catch pop ups.

Nobody seems to be able to judge the speed of opposing baserunners.

Do Yankee minor leaguers practice fielding? Do they practice baseball?
