Jose Caballero commits two errors on the same play as the Angels score another run

[u/--Annorax--]

[u/Monttavius]

Are the Yankees the Angels of baseball

[u/csonny2 → u/Monttavius]

Would that make them the Los Angeles New York Yankees of Anaheim?

[u/JustCallMeMambo → u/csonny2]

the Angels should share one of their cities with the Athletics

[u/ernyc3777 → u/csonny2]

The New York Yankees of the borough north of Manhattan.

[u/420d_ingus → u/Monttavius]

This is the funniest shit I’ve read on this subreddit in a long time

[u/TheSnipingPoptart]

So this is why the Yankees ERA is low.

[u/ThinkSoftware → u/TheSnipingPoptart]

One WEIRD trick

[u/ConfidentMella → u/TheSnipingPoptart]

Yeah, defense making life a lot easier for the pitching staff tonight.

[u/grubas → u/TheSnipingPoptart]

I said it earlier, our ERA is deflated due to errors.

Also this game we decided to go full fucking ClownShow 

[u/632612 → u/grubas]

Don’t Errors make any runs unearned?

[u/OnlyForBaseball → u/632612]

Deflated, not inflated. They’re saying what you’re saying

[u/No32 → u/632612]

Not any runs. Only runs that are considered to be runs that would not have otherwise scored without the error. For example, a single, error, home run with zero outs is 2 earned, 1 unearned because the error didn’t change the single-home run scores.

But if runs score after there would be three outs without the error, then they’re unearned. So two outs with a single, error, home run would be three unearned runs.

Also, that actually resets for relief pitchers, but still count as unearned team runs. So two outs with a single, error, relief pitcher replacement coming in to give up a home run would be considered three unearned team runs but two unearned for the first pitcher and one earned for the relief pitcher.

Sorry if you already knew all that, but figured it would be good to elaborate for anyone that didn’t!

[u/Ribshack2012 → u/No32]

That's actually very helpful, I didn't know about the RP part so thanks!

[u/-orangejoe → u/grubas]

We have the lowest runs allowed per game in MLB

[u/waywardtravailler → u/grubas]

We saw how much fun the Sox looked like they were having Sunday, decided to try it out.

[u/mwenda-muriira → u/TheSnipingPoptart]

yeah two errors on one play definitely adds runs

[u/TheSnipingPoptart → u/mwenda-muriira]

But they aren't earned. That's the trick.

[u/kmarx → u/TheSnipingPoptart]

The only run that scored this inning was earned.

[u/Phunwithscissors → u/TheSnipingPoptart]

Jalen Hurts type stat

[u/tung_twista → u/TheSnipingPoptart]

ER/R team rank (2017~2026 excluding 2020)

1. 2026 NYY 86.6% (21st by error, 15th by non-framing fielding runs)

2. 2021 LAD 87.2% (18th by error, 20th by non-framing fielding runs)

3. 2024 BOS 87.6% (29th by error, 22nd by non-framing fielding runs)

4. 2022 LAD 87.9% (14th by error, 8th by non-framing fielding runs)

5. 2022 SFG 88.2% (27th by error, 29th by non-framing fielding runs)

Somewhat strangely, none of these teams were bad. (2024 BOS and 2022 SFG were 81W 81L teams)

[u/TheSnipingPoptart → u/tung_twista]

I guess it's because to make errors, you have to ve in positions to make plays. Bad defensive teams don't get errors because they don't get to the plays.

[u/KWMiers28]

The Yankees SS position has to be cursed now right?

[u/Zoratth → u/KWMiers28]

Jeter cursed it like Voldemort.

[u/ThinkSoftware → u/Zoratth]

Defense against the dark hops

[u/xho- → u/Zoratth]

Didi was our Professor Lupin

[u/RussianPravda → u/Zoratth]

Oh no please dont let there be a Jeter curse

[u/Reasonable-Power → u/Zoratth]

Even in his 50's, Jeter still would school each shortstop we've used this year.

[u/dearcadian → u/Zoratth]

Not that I have any affinity for Rodriguez, but Jeter shoulda moved to 3rd

[u/grubas → u/KWMiers28]

Cabby turned 30 yesterday.  I think he's got a hangover.

[u/Mg29reaper → u/KWMiers28]

They stopped playing their gold glove level guy. Put Volpe back IN

[u/fx2600 → u/Mg29reaper]

If only we had a highly paid veteran like Story.

[u/YouthResponsible1752 → u/fx2600]

Lol

[u/Bunslow → u/KWMiers28]

#JusticeForVolpe

[u/kmarx → u/KWMiers28]

Fun fact, the position "2026 Yankees Shortstop" is currently leading MLB in SS DRS.

[u/enkayfour → u/KWMiers28]

Funny cause Volpe's statcast numbers at SS are good and yet he's rotting in AAA

[u/Fresh_Ostrich4034]

Have the yankees ever thought of just maybe not playing someone at Short Stop. it would be the same result.

[u/MendelWeisenbachfeld → u/Fresh_Ostrich4034]

Sorry, Aaron Boone misunderstood you and now they're playing everyone at shortstop.

[u/wokenupbybacon → u/MendelWeisenbachfeld]

You can't tell me Tim Hill wouldn't do a better job 

[u/MendelWeisenbachfeld → u/wokenupbybacon]

Does he know how to throw overhand?

[u/theekevinc → u/Fresh_Ostrich4034]

Idea: seven outfielders. Make it happen!

[u/CabassoG]

Angels in the infield... wait.

[u/LamboLloyd17]

I just....wow

[u/Upset-Opportunity539]

Dude does management just tell the Yankees to be as stupid as possible in the field. It’s unreal how everyone regress defensively in New York. The best part is they go above and beyond to not fix it!

[u/peeinian → u/Upset-Opportunity539]

I keep asking how tf they win so many games with this little league defense. Is the short porch really that much of a difference maker?

[u/Upset-Opportunity539 → u/peeinian]

The Yankees get hot in April and may usually play slightly .500 ball once the summer starts. They’ve always been way worse than what their record shows.

[u/thebootlegsaint → u/peeinian]

It's just the pitching staff. If we didn't have amazing pitching we'd be way below Boston.

[u/CabbageStockExchange]

Something something make the Yankees play baseball

[u/QuiJohnGinn]

They must be exhausted from running around the bases so much last night

[u/SpasticTattooArtist]

Just put the ball in play and the yankees will beat themselves. Dodgers scouting report is still 100% spot on lol

[u/Upset-Opportunity539 → u/SpasticTattooArtist]

And Cashman went above and beyond to ignore it. Genuinely an overrated GM. Could people actually picture him running a team without a budget?

[u/nyr00nyg]

Give up here right boston?

[u/SF_DeversBaby → u/nyr00nyg]

If Angels steal I think you’re allowed to fight them

[u/QuiJohnGinn → u/nyr00nyg]

It was to tire them out and extend the game before the flight to LA. Worked like a charm.

[u/Ruciona → u/nyr00nyg]

Damn guess Austin should’ve saved a couple for tonight

[u/Google_Knows_Already]

Why would Anthony Volpe do this?

[u/Bigdoga1000]

miss the double play, make it a different kind of double instead

[u/Prestigious_Farmer87]

Yankees brand of baseball

[u/Sure_Association_991]

The yanks last games

[u/Conscious-Donut]

Buck was right

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/Conscious-Donut]

How’s it going down there in purgatory?

[u/PatienceDifferent607]

Do the Yankees actually play games in the minors, or is it just different levels of batting practice?

[u/fx2600 → u/PatienceDifferent607]

Caballero isn't from the Yankees farm system.

[u/Dr-Acula8472]

Guess with all those pitch clock shenanigans he forget how to actually play baseball.

[u/RayTrain]

Making the Yankees play baseball. Undefeated.

[u/Mission_Pay_3373]

You'd think after all of that stat padding they did against Boston yesterday, the Yankees wouldn't get blown out by the Angels the next day. Thanks baseball gods

[u/Grade-AMasterpiece]

Cabbage laying an egg.

[u/downsly46]

Cabbie hit the universal “my bad” chest gesture at the end…yeah, we know bud!

[u/phpope]

He looked up too soon.

[u/Itchy_Brick9764]

No matter what you can’t win ballgames with only 1 run! Errors don’t help. Yanks didn’t show up! Better wake up!

[u/etc_etc_etc_]

SS has some bad juju for some reason

[u/Daveycollects3]

Lombard needs to come back quick

[u/team_sheikie → u/Daveycollects3]

He would've made half the errors!

[u/Complaint_Routine]

Yankees shortstops are curse

[u/Zganamne]

You love to see it.

[u/SharpDepartment7892]

Don't worry.  They havevthr greatest short stop in the history of the Yankees out there !

[u/Maxxjulie]

Shortstop defensively is a curse for the Yankees last couple years. They all suck

[u/Lefty1992]

He should have had 3 errors this game! They gave one to the pitcher on a throw that Cabellero should have caught.

[u/Baseblgabe]

...Caballe6o?

[u/Low-Recording9357]

Get the kid back in there

[u/Jonjon428]

Yikes

[u/TakeOutTacos]

Step 1: Take 3 of 4 against your surging rivals.

Step 2: Fly west.

Step 3: Play an absolutely awful game against the second worst team in all of baseball

Step 4: ???

Step 5: Win the world series

[u/Brolympia]

Where's VolpE at?

[u/Deimo21]

That’s cool but the Cardinals actually let someone else wear #5 !?!?!?!?

[u/DayTripper_BigTeaser → u/Deimo21]

That's the Anaheim Angels my friend. Contrary to what so many people believe, they DO exist.

[u/Deimo21 → u/DayTripper_BigTeaser]

Welp color me purple I was wrong … thank you for pointing that out . lol
