Gleyber Torres made a crucial mistake during the New York Yankees‘ loss to the Baltimore Orioles, frustrating captain Aaron Judge and the rest of the team. Despite having the opportunity to advance on the bases, Torres made a poor decision that resulted in his elimination.
The Yankees are still fighting to secure first place in the AL East. However, the loss to the Orioles has complicated their chances. The Orioles, on the other hand, have shown their competitiveness and are close to qualifying for the playoffs. Their win over the Yankees gives them a significant lead in the wild-card race.
Aaron Judge expressed disappointment in Torres’ mistake, noting that these types of errors can affect the outcome of the game. Yankees manager Aaron Boone also acknowledged Torres’ mistake and explained that he should have made a more decisive decision in that situation.
According to The New York Post, Aaron Judge said, “When it comes down to it, stuff like that can’t happen. We can’t keep shooting ourselves in the foot with mistakes like that on the basepaths.”
