Troubles for the New York Yankees are never-ending. With some talented players already on the injured list, the Yanks cannot afford to make even the most minor mistakes. However, this caution does not stop the incoming blunders from happening. Nearly costing them the game, another significant error occurred at Yankee Stadium last night, making it the source of audience dismay.
The Bronx Bombers recently wrapped up their three-game series against the Texas Rangers. Somehow, they managed to win the series only after witnessing a significant mistake from their shortstop, Gleyber Torres.

Even the most minor mistakes at this point in the season can set back the Yanks much more than they already are. With no timeline for their captain Aaron Judge’s return and others recovering from their respective injuries, a player making mistakes regularly can make matters worse for the team.

During last night’s game, when Rangers’ ace Nathan Eovaldi pitched to Yankees’ fresh off-injured list player, Harrison Bader, something completely avoidable happened. Shortly after Bader hit the ball, Rangers’ shortstop Marcus Semien caught the ball. Missing this, Gleyber Torres inexplicably took off for the third, giving double play to the opposition.

Fortunately, the Yanks bounced back from this embarrassing moment and scored five to win the game. This error on Torres’ part should not have happened, easily costing the team this series. Notably, fans are not excited about this error by Torres, considering this isn’t the first time he has done something like this.
Yankees fans are growing resentful every day!
The season has not yet reached the All-Star game, and Torres has already made the same number of errors he did last year. Many of these have taken place on bases similar to this one. The Yankees’ shortstop has done somewhat around seven errors this year. And while this may have become a standard narrative for him, it’s not something any fan would want.
Hence, their anger keeps accelerating with each passing day. Here’s how they are reacting to Torres being repetitive with his mistakes:
