Mookie Betts hustled to first base like his life depended on it.

2-3 Yankee defenders were like 'nah, we got this covered, no way he makes it'... and he got to first standing up

this is why the cashout feature should not be avoided

after they avoided the ugly sweep

if they had a lead and you were on them it was time to not trust that bullpen... team in general.

someone tell judge there is something called a basket catch

Dodgers won games 2 and 3
Yankees won game 4

Yankees lost games 1 and 5, choked on both Gerrit Cole starts
Gerrit needs to get out of that shoebox

i bet dodgers primarily due to fan interference game 4

Walker Buehler is the boss. Find the story on X (Is this Wonky - It's the definition of Wonky).

0 outs, man on 1st ... line drive to Judge - dropped. The announcers were like that's a 1 in a 1000 drop ... not exactly - that's a World Series adrenaline drop.

Maybe Cole's error (which I don't think counts as an error) is big stage related too.

Volpe's error - may be slightly more excusable as it was not a routine play. What I don't know, though, is if he could have made an out at first - because if could have, then he should have. Up five runs - concede base position/a run for the sure out. You need to win the game, not the shutout.

Yep.
Old school baseball.

Why was Judge looking at first base he should have focused on the catch and not to the double play

He was anxious.
Judge knows better as well.

Judge a way overrated and overpaid regular season stat machine. Just not a winning baseball player.
