ALDS: Yankees Vs. Cleveland

Sanchez never tagged out Kackson after dropping the 3rd strike and never tagged him. Fox replayed the reaction of several individual players and it looked like Frazier was pointing and shouting towards the plate (probably trying to tell Sanchez to tag him).

Jackson ran to the dugout. Rule would have allowed him to run to first, probably with no throw since I assume the first baseman was celebrating like everyone else. Could he have left the dugout and run to first?

No. Once Jackson left the batters box without making a move toward first base, he gave himself up. That is the rule.
 
This is so unexpected, but I know my dad is smiling up there.
2 more to go.

I predict Tanaka, Severino, and CC the first 3, then maybe Sonny game 4?

Didi carried us in game 5, I say extend CC for another year or 2 after tonight.

I think he goes Gray, Severino, Tanaka, CC. Tanaka's ERA is 3 and a half runs better at home, so I want to set him up there (of course, he'd then have to pitch game 7 in Houston, but you can't worry about that). After not coming out of the bullpen these last two games, Gray may actually be too rested already, so I kind of want to get him out of the way.

I don't think game one is all that important for us. Keuchel always shuts us down, and is pitching very well, lately. If we win that game, we should be in the drivers seat (Verlander does not scare me in game 2), but if we lose, we will still have the advantage in pitching matchups down the road.
 
Frazier's heads up base running was huge insurance run for chapman after the long layoff between innings. Him working the walk in great AB set up gardeners huge hit. Little things!
 
I sure would love to see Judge play some small ball, instead of trying to hit everything over the left field wall. Also, the DH spot for the Yanks has not produce as planned; they should try Torreyes there. He makes contact. Great game from a young team that wasn't supposed to make much noise this season.

Sanchez looked at him, Jackson was standing there saying something to the Umpire but he was still in the box. But you are right, he eventually walked away.
