Yankees fans have a difficult relationship with the team’s third base coaches. Their one job during the game always seems to have the biggest impact on it, especially if they mess up. Since the days of Rob Thomson, third base coaches have been a liability. Joe Espada might have been an improvement, but he still made his share of mistakes. Now Phil Nevin is at third, but are we at a point where we need to worry? After last night’s game against the Red Sox, we might be getting close.
The Yankees had the bases loaded with one out in the seventh inning.
