Jose Caballero walk-off sends the Yankees to the Postseason, a breakdown

Anthony Vulpi steps to the plate for the Yankees. This breakdown is brought to you by DraftKings. The Yankees are two games out of the division right now and the Blue Jays have lost. They also win and they clinch a postseason birth, but they're down by one. Leadoff hitter gets on. Vulpi with a single. That's the tying run against the White Socks. They're playing for not much. Luis Heel celebrates then beats up Asaldo Cabrera who says, "Hey dude, what's going on?" Welly's up now. He's going to take ball one, take ball two. A little flashing in the crowd. Takes ball three. A little flashing. Dad says, "Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no flashing." 3-1 pitch. Fouled back. Full count. A little flash and a big foul ball. Home run. But dad said no more flashing. We got a little more flashing. The fans get very involved here. Wells with a single. So, they're doing it. They're on. They're celebrating their claw hands or whatever the hell that is that they Yankees do. The bench loves it. Let's go. And now up comes the big sleep. Gisham. He's been clutch all year. Can he do it? No. He hits into a double play. It does move the tying run to third. That's helpful, but it's a double play. And now there's a base open. So they say, "Hey, Phil, Phil, Phil, four, four. We're going to walk Judge. Uh we're going to walk Judge because we don't want to face him because he's really good. So now Bellinger's up and the first pitch below the zone. The next pitch high called to strike. One and one. Next pitch outside. Big swing. Okay. Full count. That's fouled back. And then way above everyone's head. Vulpi. The double play moved him to third. The tying run. He scores. He doesn't slide. He just runs straight to the dugout to celebrate with the crew. Now Heel is giving hugs. Look at this. It's ball four. It's a wild pitch. It's the tying run coming home to score. This guy in the crowd, I don't know where his kid went, but he loves it. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Woohoo. She loves it. High five. High five. High five. Probably kept going forever. They bring a new pitcher in to face Jose Cabiro. And now they're dancing the crowd. Say, "Hey, why don't we do this thing? Why don't we do this thing? You know, this is good luck. Let's do this thing. And then over there, they're like, "Why don't we just stand up?" "Yeah, just stand up." "Yeah, just stand up." And then this guy's like, "All right, I'll do it. I'll do whatever. Here we go." First pitch, he takes it. Breaking ball away. And now we're just clapping. We're just clapping. We're doing the double thumbs up. We're tickling our boy. And the pitch. Ooh. Breaking ball in the zone. Now we've got the hat, the voodoo hat, the rally hat. Oo. And now we've got the backwards hat. Anything and anything and anything to help the team. fouled back. Cool bat spin though. Two strikes a strike away from losing. Vulpi looking on. Jazz looking on intensely. Goldie is looking on. Everybody is looking on. Everybody is staring. Everybody is focused. A strike away from winning. But the hat's dancing. Oh yeah, the hat's dancing. We're doing everything we can in the crowd. We're high-fiving. We're thumbs uping. We're pointing. We're giving kisses. A good luck kiss. Oh yeah, good luck kiss. Oh yeah. Look at him. Look at her. She's like, "Did you like that? Is that okay? Was that cool that we did that? You want to do it every pitch?" Well, if it works, but then the game would be over. Okay. Maybe maybe more pitches. Ball low. Good. Now we get more dancing hat. We get more voodoo. Do we get more good luck kisses? Yes. Oh. Oh, we're doing it again. Okay. Okay. Okay. We did it again. Two. Two. Foul back down the line. Out of play. Dancing hat. Voom voom voom. And now just a little hangout with the boy. Check out this kid. Oh yeah, we're doing it. Two two pitch. Fouled back again. More voodoo dancing hat. Oh, the 2- two. Fouled back again. The fast ball. [Music] 22 again. Fouled again. This time down the line into the crowd. What a battle it's been. Vulpi looking on. Wow, this is going on forever. This fan praying, hoping, wishing. The hat is still going. It's going strong. But what do we do on the other side? Okay, we're dancing now. Everybody dance. Let's dance. And then we're going to swing with the batter. And then I'm going to jump into my dad if that's his dad. Two two. That one is put into play. It's going to drop. Judge was on the move. The throw didn't come home. The Yankees win. They clinch. They gained a game in the division against the Blue Jays. They clinched a postseason birth. They came from behind to win it. Jose Cababiierro gets it done with an awesome atbat. Fouled a bunch of two strike pitches. This ball. Michael A. Taylor looks like he decides I'm not going to catch it. So, let me get ready for the throw. Cuz he could have decided to go all out and catch it and put a diving effort. It was a shallow ball. He's very good though. He I think he says, "No, I don't think I'm gonna catch it, so I'm gonna slow up and make the perfect throw." But instead spiked it. Just spiked it right to the lip of the grass and Judge scores easily. Now the bench, they were excited. Rosario and Dominguez, they've got a little bit of a battle going. Rosario came to the Yanks. He's like, I'm going to be the first guy of the dugout. Dominguez has been challenging him lately, being ahead of him. And here, a little respect paid by Dominguez, but still competition. Vulpi jumps. McMahon jumps. And look at these guys. They're still tethered at the hip. And now they're both late to the party because they played too much defense, not enough offense. Jose Cabierro, he never considered maybe Michael A. Taylor would make a diving catch. Maybe Michael A. Taylor would throw Judge out at home plate. Never considered either of those options. As soon as he put it in play, he started celebrating, screaming, and enjoying his walk-off. It was very likely that he could have made a diving catch or a throw. Not very likely, but you know, it could have happened, but it didn't. And he knew it. And he is fired up. He's going to get water here. He's going to get water there. He's going to get water everywhere. The Yankees, with the help from the fans, win a fun one. This breakdown was brought to you by DraftKings, and I thank them for sponsoring. I thank you for watching. I thank the Yankees for making me happy and winning.
