Game 85 - Yanks (Cortes) vs Jays (Bassitt)

Plays every position on the field with the exception of catcher...

Backdoor sweeper on the outer 3rd at the knees, taken for a strike
Cutter well outside, 1-1
Cutter closer, but still outside, 2-1
Cutter inside at the top, taken, 3-1
Same cutter as the 0-1 pitch, same result, ball 4.
1st and 2nd, nobody out for Schneider, and whatever chance the Yanks have of rallying today hangs in the balance
Blake knows and goes out to talk it over with Nestor, along with the whole infield.

Nestor needs to call in sick every time the team goes on the road. He might have a chance for a Cy Young award that way!

Schneider...
Backdoors a cutter into the zone at the top, 0-1
FB on the outside corner above the knees at 93, 0-2
Change waist high, just outside, too good a pitch to hit, Schneider fouls it off. Almost the same pitch Guerero hit for the HR.
Flies open, cutter misses way up and away, 1-2
Gets under a cutter, misses well high, and that last pitch was not "away", Flats, wound up in the middle and high.
FB way up and in, swung on and missed, K. Humped up to 93 on that one.

Cutter in a bad spot, middle of the plate below the waist, but he misses and fouls it. Nestor lucky there.
Doesn't get lucky twice. FB above and inside of middle, again too good a pitch, and he inside outside it over 1st and goes to the corner for a RBI double, Turner scores, and Springer to 3rd.

Torres… 🧤

Great play to end the inning!
