So why didn't Sanchez use two hands? That was Mistake No. 3. Doing
everything possible to secure the ball, even if he remained anchored at
the plate, would’ve increased the odds of handling the bounce. Altuve
would’ve had no chance to otherwise dislodge the ball - Sanchez
would’ve been an immovable object. Out at the plate, and the Yankees
might’ve survived the scare.
Even after the game, Sanchez still seemed dazed by the damning play,
saying, “I will have to see a replay” to understand the Yankees’
unraveling. It went like this. With one out and Altuve on first after
smoking Aroldis Chapman’s 100-mph to left, Los Angeles Dodgers jerseys Carlos Correa launched a missile into the gap in right-center. Aaron Judge cut the ball off before it reached the wall and Chicago Cubs Jerseys
hit Gregorius with the cutoff. Judge made the right decision. “He threw
it to the guy on the field with the strongest arm,” said Joe Girardi.
In any other setting, Altuve might’ve held at third, but not on this
day. The game was too close, runs were scarce and this was the Astros’
best chance to finish off the Bombers. Gregorius said, “I had a feeling
(Altuve) was going” as he wheeled and fired to Sanchez.

Girardi’s assessment was dead-on. No one could’ve made a better throw
than Gregorius, which is why Correa affected a pop-up slide at second
that may or may not have gotten in the Yankees’ shortstop’s way. Girardi

argued that Correa made contact and should’ve been called for
interference. The umpires overruled Girardi and walked off the field.
The Astros, meanwhile, were going berserk all around the Yankees.
Gregorius agreed that Correa had bumped him but refused to alibi for the
short throw. “I’m not going to make an issue of it,” he said. Besides,
both he and Judge had done everything right. The ball was in Sanchez’s
glove with plenty of time to spare. Only, it popped out, as if there was
a spring in the webbing.
