The Yankees learned what they almost knew: Ryan McMahon caught Jose Altuve’s Line Drive in the sixth inning of their victory in Houston on Thursday.
Aaron Boone said on Friday that he heard from MLB that the piece should have been ruled when the third basehill Brian Walsh-Die had judged an errone-filled series in Houston that McMahon did not hold the ball despite the fact that it clearly came out of the glove.
Boone said it “should have been ruled by the competition”.
McMahon, who was back on the third base for the series opening loss for the Blue Jays on Friday in the Bronx, said he was only worried about the result of the game and the victory made it easier to leave the piece behind. He added that he did not blame Walsh – who was also cruel behind the plate in the loss of the Yankees for the Astros on Wednesday – for the missed call in third place.
“I saw the repetition and in real time, from his approach, I understand how he didn’t see it,” said McMahon.
That was not the only controversy that MLB weighed on Friday about Thursday’s game.
It appears that the Yankees were right that the Bat Taylor Trammell who used during the game did not meet the MLB instructions.
But unlike other controversies in which the Astros are involved, according to a source there will be no consequences for the removal of the bat from the game, because it was ruled because Trammell did not get a benefit from the bat.
According to MLB guidelines, every two-tone bat must be divided into two sections, one of each color. And that transition must take place on the 18-inch Mark from the button.
During Trammell’s bat in the bottom of the ninth against David Bednar, the Yankees noticed that there was “discoloration on the label” by Trammell’s Bat.
After a long delay, in which crew chef Adrian Johnson spoke with the Replay Center in New York, the referee gave the bat to an official authenticator and the game resumed without other consequences.
The bat, according to a source, was “correctly treated” in the same way as an unacceptable glove color or design and reported the player that he was no longer allowed to use.
The crew chose to keep the bat and have MLB shifted to the headquarters.
Boone was almost apologetic about questioning the bat van Trammell.
“That was something difficult for me to do, because I think Taylor was not going to do anything,” said Boone about Trammell, who played five games with the Yankees last season and spent a large part of the season with the organization at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
“But it was brought to my attention,” said Boone. “Something didn’t look good and not within the lines. I was satisfied with the pronunciation and explanation. It was my duty towards the team to check at least.”
Anthony Volpe was back on the couch to start the series against the Blue Jays on Friday, with José Caballero at Shortstop.
Volpe had started with nine consecutive games since he sat on the record for a few games during his ugly rack last month. He entered 1-out-12 on Friday with a walk and five strikeouts.
Boone said that he wants to get Caballero that Friday 0-out-3 was more time.
“Since we got him, he has been a good player,” said Boone. “He has earned opportunities there.”
Jazz Chishholm Jr. Was back in the line -up on second base after Thursday’s victory with knees on both knees.
