"After I was passing second base, I did. Saw his hands up, I was already committed." - Austin Wells when asked if he saw the third base coach before being thrown out

The way Rasmussen pitched we probably weren’t driving him anyway just saying

Baseball 101 - never make the first or third out of an inning at third base. 😑

Watching Austin Wells explanation of how he got thrown out at 3B after getting the 1st hit of the game for the Yankees shows he lacks even a basic understanding of situational baseball. If he stopped at 2B, he would already be in scoring position. It was hero ball. Inexcusable!

Just stupid. He’s never been fast yet today he thinks he can stretch a double into a triple against the best defensive team in MLB. Stupid

Put on the brakes. Little Leaguers know better.

He’s been hitting well this post season. Hope this doesn’t stop his bat. Nobody else would’ve hit to bring him in to score anyway

Committed to failing. Go back to reviewing burritos you dipshit

Moron. Base hit would’ve scored you either way with 2 outs.

After that asshole move, he should be committed

He just admitted to more poor baserunning. Should have been looking prior to touching second.

Option him to FCL and start Sanchez the rest of the way.

Why doesn’t he just own it??? I fucked up - I’m sorry

Idiot.

Soooooo maybe look at the coach when rounding the bases in a CAN’T GET THROWN OUT SITUATION….

You are a catcher. You cannot run. Why are you even thinking third there

Dude you stop at 2B and wait for the pinchrunner.

Idiot

I will never forget he swung at the first pitch with bases loaded against the blue jays to end our season

The playoffs are about playing fundamental baseball. If Austin had a ton of speed, I could see going for it, but obviously that’s not the case especially in a one run game with one out. The lack of fundamentals on this team is ridiculous.

It was a dumb decision!

@Yankees_Blue You learn this when you’re like 8 years old. How does he not know better?

it doesn’t matter either way, nobody was gonna drive him in.

It’s baseball 101!!!! U NEVER make the 3rd out at 3rd!!!! Goddamn! I hope he comes back and does something special to win the series but wtf???

Ain’t hating on him but c’mon, “committed?” Bro, you’ve been in your body all year, knowing that the opposing team recognizes that they don’t have to hurry the throw to first base. Should have been committed to the reality of your lumbering gait!

So far there has been two outs on the bases "which is a no no in the playoffs " our two slowest runners on the team Rice and Wells. C'mon man!!

Yeah you are already in scoring position there's no need to go to third

All you had to do was your job. Your job BEFORE you rounded 2nd was to look at the 3rd base coach. You didn't because you wanted to be a hero. So now you're the boob. JUST DO YOUR JOB.

This guy deserves be to BENCHED!

Guy is just not a smart player no situational awareness at all your down by one it’s the first hit of the game he’s a slow runner the fielder has an arm not a championship player

They don’t call him Austin Wheels for nothing.

People are acting like wellls was really going to score if he stayed at second base lol

Drop anchor ya lead footed MFer!!!!!!!!

Guy can’t even admit he made a mistake !
