Further correction: The Yankees didn't want to do anything, but it was the MLB that forced their hand and put through the ban. And I see ESPN has basically done a piece lionising these guys. I mean, WTF?

Those scumbags should have been sent to "Diddy Island "

That's nearly up there with Buckner.

Anthony Rizzo should be run out of town for this play. Yes, Cole didn't cover, but Rizzo looked like he was punishing Cole by not even trying to get to 1st. It's an elimination game if the EFFING WORLD SERIES!!!! As soon as you see he's not covering, you go full tilt to the base and dive glove first!
 
Also, I LOVE me some Dave Roberts. I pray that someday I get a chance to buy him a beer. But hearing him say "Everybody counted us out" after the game has now put him ahead of Rodney Harrison in my mind for the greatest make believe "disrespect" guy of all time. They spent like crazy on free agents and I believe were the #1 favorite in Vegas to win it all.

Rizzo wasn't dogging it, he was expecting what 100 out of 100 first baseman would have expected: To look down, field the ball, look up, and see your pitcher moving toward the bag in order to flip it to him for the out (not trying to unexpectedly get into a foot race with Mookie Betts).

The blame on that play breaks down like this:
Cole 100%
Rizzo 0%
