Yankees Address Youngster’s Gigantic Error In Loss To Red Sox

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Domínguez probably wants to crawl into a hole after Saturday night’s loss to the Boston Red Sox.

Fair.

Domínguez, 22, had his first major moment in the greatest rivalry in sports, though it wasn’t exactly a positive one. The Yankees were threatening in the top of the seventh inning when the youngster was caught sleeping on the bases, being thrown out with relative ease to end the inning with the go-ahead run at the dish.

Yikes!

Yankees manager Aaron Boone was asked about the rally-stalling moment, and confirmed what many of us suspected.

“He thought it was strike three,” Boone said, referring to the final pitch (strike two) of the inning. “Obviously, he feels terrible about that… I talked to him. It’s about constantly talking to people and making sure you’re paying attention. It’s probably something that won’t happen to him again.”

It’s nice that he feels bad and all, but that won’t put any runs on the board.

“I have nothing to say,” Domínguez said following the game, per YES. “No excuses. I made a mistake.”

Domínguez (kind of) redeemed himself in the ninth inning, as he torched a double down the line and reached base as the game-tying run, though the game ended on a long flyout just a few pitches later.

The Red Sox and Yankees will conclude their series on Sunday, with first pitch scheduled for 1:35 p.m. ET on NESN.
