Astros' Tucker Tries to Steal Home Amid PitchCom Malfunction
Houston's Kyle Tucker was tossed out when he attempted to take home while New York
Yankees starter Luis Severino fiddled with his breaking down PitchCom gadget.
Alex Bregman had quite recently hit a two-run twofold to put Houston up 2-0
and Tucker was on third with two outs in the third inning.
With Yuli Gurriel at-bat, a disappointed Severino removed his cap and held the
PitchCom speaker to his ear, clearly incapable to hear directions from catcher Jos
e Trevino.
"It was working great and afterward it got clearly and ... it didn't work," Severi
no said.
Severino had the PitchCom earpiece in his right hand and needed
to rapidly move to get the baseball back in his tossing hand.
He tossed home while as yet holding his cap,
and his toss barely beat Tucker and finished the inning.
"I saw him when he was like midway, yet no one's quicker than the ball," Severino
said.
Severino was gotten some information about making the toss while holding the gadge
t and his cap.
"I'm excellent with my hands," he said with a snicker.
Yankees director Aaron Boone went wild about the heads-up play.
