The string of errors that occurred in the 5th inning with a 5-run lead in Game 5 was “one of the worst in WS”
In this year’s World Series, the Dodgers defeated the Yankees with 4 wins and 1 loss. One of the factors that made the difference in this prestigious exhibition is said to be the Dodgers’ thorough investigation. Sports Illustrated, an American magazine, reports that the Yankees have been thoroughly investigated and that the players have implemented this.
The article is based on an article written by Joel Sherman of the New York Post. According to Sherman, what the Dodgers told the players at the meeting was that “the Yankees are a team that values the talent of the players more than the fundamentals of play.”
“I told the players that if they ran for the bases with purpose and boldness, the Yankees would be digging their own grave. I also told the players that there was great value in ‘ put the ball in motion to force the Yankees to execute plays. he said they are a team.”
“In the World Series, all of these words rang true,” the article said, citing specific examples. In Game 1, when pitcher Shohei Ohtani hit a double in the 8th inning, right fielder Juan Soto threw the ball to second base. Ohtani advanced to third base and stepped on a sacrifice fly from infielder Mookie Betts to tie the game. Then, in the 10th inning of overtime, infielder Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run with the bases loaded, giving the Dodgers the lead.
In Game 3, outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, who is off-speed, was thrown out by left fielder Teoscar Hernandez’s home plate throw. He described this play as “exposing the Yankees’ poor base running.” In Game 4, infielder Anthony Volpey, the runner on second base, commented that he was unable to get in on Austin Wells’ double that hit the center field fence.
Then, in Game 5, he mentioned the “nightmare defense” that occurred in the 5th inning with a 5-run lead. A series of errors, including Aaron Judge’s outfielder, Volpy’s bad throw, and pitcher Gerrit Cole’s failure to make first base, led to the tie. He called it “one of the worst single-homer defenses in World Series history.”
The article concludes, “The Dodgers were right. The Yankees certainly got out of their own way and paved the way for the Dodgers to march.” The Dodgers knew the Yankees’ weaknesses, and the Yankees had an opening. It was probably inevitable that the Dodgers would be number one in the world.
