Yankees' Baserunning Blunders Criticized in ALCS

The New York Yankees faced criticism for repeated baserunning errors during the ALCS against the Cleveland Guardians. In Game 3, Yankees catcher Jose Trevino was caught in a rundown after an ill-advised stolen base attempt, leading to a social media backlash. Similar errors occurred in Game 2, where both Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Rizzo were picked off in the same inning, prompting broadcaster John Sterling to humorously criticize their baserunning as akin to 'drunks.' Despite these blunders, the Yankees managed to secure a 6-3 victory in Game 2, partly due to Aaron Judge's home run. Sterling, who returned from retirement for the postseason, added his signature flair to the commentary, capturing the chaotic moments with wit and humor.
