The whipsaw contest between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3 of the American League Division series was driven by…bad baseball.

It started early. Toronto’s Ernie Clement busts his tail down the line on a grounder to first. Pitcher Carlos Rodon doesn’t cover. Ben Rice slides instead of dives and catches a spike. Safe call at first.

Yankee left fielder Cody Bellinger closes his eyes as he slides to make a catch and misses the ball as it clangs off of glove.

Aaron Judge breaks for home and then stops, and is thrown out on the contact play See Thespitter.com from two days ago. Toronto leads 6-3.

Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk sticks his glove out and Trent Grisham hits it during a check swing. MLB’s review committee rules that is not interference. Grisham gets another pitch which he hits down the line for a double.  Third baseman Addison Barger calls off left fielder Davis Schneider and then watches as the breeze carries the ball away from him before he finally catches…and the drops the ball into foul territory.

Blue Jays reliever Louis Varland and Kirk agree on a second straight fastball to Judge instead of going down and away. Judge pulls the hands in and bounces the pitch off the left field foul pole for a home run.

Toronto’s Anthony Santander contributes to a follow-up rally when he doesn’t read the top spin on a liner by Bellinger and then dives forward and misses the ball entirely.

After all of that, it’s Yankees 9-6.

The folks at Fubo and/or Fox Sports One then get in the act and cut the DVR of the game off in the 7th inning.

It’s the little things, people. Try to do better.
