"Obviously can't happen:'' Yankees' Jose Caballero gets tossed from Wednesday's game at a critical time
TAMPA, Fla. - One of the newest Yankees, playing against his old team, Jose Caballero's odd 10th inning odyssey on the bases ended with his ill-timed ejection from Wednesday night's game. "Really frustrated. I have to do better next time,'' said Caballero, after the Yankees' dramatic 6-4 win against the Rays at Steinbrenner Field, in 10 innings. "Can't happen,'' said Aaron Boone, who spoke with Caballero about his over-the-top reaction, which forced the Yanks' manager to play Giancarlo Stanton in right field in the 10th. Amed Rosario, the last player on the Yanks' bench, was already ticketed to play third base after Stanton's tie-breaking homer as a pinch-hitter for Ryan McMahon. "In that got to turn away and let me handle that,'' said Boone. As a player, "you can't allow yourself to cross a line.'' On first base in the 10th, with the Yanks ahead 6-3, the speedy Caballero (who had already stolen his league-leading 40th base) drew three throws from Rays closer Pete Fairbanks. The last throw didn't count as a disengagement since Fairbanks was not on the pitching plate, though the decision not to award Caballero second base required a conference of all four umps. Caballero, who also survived one Rays' replay challenge at first base, then took off for second for an easy stolen base - until he was called out by second base ump Roberto Ortiz for over-sliding the bag. After the out call was confirmed on replay, Caballero confronted Ortiz and earned a quick ejection as Boone rushed out in a frantic - but too late - attempt to save his player, who kept up his aggressive argument. "I wasn't happy about the call,'' said Caballero, traded to the Yanks from Tampa Bay at MLB's July 31 deadline. "There's no way you can see that I came off the bag…in real time. "I was just frustrated. I said it multiple times and he didn't like it.''

Bryan Battle explains bad UFC 319 weight miss, fine if promotion releases him – ‘I don't feel entitled'
'The Butcher' is in a bad spot. Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) prospect and The Ultimate Fighter Season 29 winner Bryan Battle was scheduled to compete on this past weekend's UFC 319 pay-per-view card. Instead, his fight with Nursulton Ruziboev was scrapped after Battle missed weight by four pounds at weigh-ins. The two fighters later made amends and even agreed to run it back at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi. But despite that tentative plan, there's still a chance Battle could get the proverbial axe — and the 30-year-old says he's at peace with it. 'Regardless, no matter what happens, I know I'm still one of the best on the planet, so I know I'll be back,' Battle told Ariel Helwani. 'If I have to go out, whoop some ass, prove myself, and show that I can still do it and still make weight, then that's what I'll go do. I'll come back and fulfill my potential, but I'm in a place right now where I don't feel entitled to anything.' 'I would understand [if UFC releases me],' Battle added. 'If they're kind of gracious, I'll be extremely thankful for that. But this is just a time where I must focus on the day-to-day.' As for what went wrong, Battle explained that he underestimated the cut. Moving up a weight class, he believed it would be an easier process — but things unraveled quickly. 'I'm getting older, and I think my body just can't do the things it used to do. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake, a walk in the park,' Battle said. 'When you're cutting weight and things go south — once things start going downhill, it's hard to recover from it.' 'The Butcher' admitted he only lost two pounds over the course of five hours on Friday morning, despite sweating the entire time. For now, Battle (7-1) remains on the UFC roster, though his future hangs in the balance. For more UFC 319 results, coverage, and highlights click .

Errani, Vavassori retain US Open mixed doubles title in revamped event
Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori retained their US Open mixed doubles title on Wednesday, beating Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud to claim the $1 million top prize in the new-look competition that kicked off action at the last Grand Slam of the year. The Italians capped two days of intense work in the 16-team event with a 6-3, 5-7, 10-6 victory over Swiatek and Ruud -- who were among a slew of singles stars drawn not only by the big purse but also by the chance to contest mixed doubles before singles action begins on Sunday. Poland's Swiatek, a six-time Grand Slam champion ranked second in the world, battled through a two-hour tussle with Jasmine Paolini to win the Cincinnati Open on Monday then hot-footed it to New York to team up with Norway's Ruud in the revamped competition. Carlos Alcaraz, men's champion in Cincinnati, also turned out but he and British playing partner Emma Raducanu were eliminated on Tuesday, as was superstar Novak Djokovic, who teamed with fellow Serb Olga Danilovic. The star names drew big crowds but the chemistry between Italians Errani and Vavassori, cultivated over a two-year on-court partnership that also saw them win the French Open title this year, proved decisive. Errani hoped it showed that committed doubles teams -- many of whom were shut out of the field -- have plenty to offer. "I think this one is also for all the doubles players that couldn't play this tournament," Errani said as she and Vavassori accepted the trophy. "I think this one is also for them." Errani and Vavassori roared to a 4-1 lead in the opening set of the championship match and after Swiatek and Ruud regained one break, closed it on a confident hold from Vavassori. Down a break at 4-5 in the second, Swiatek and Ruud won three straight games to force the 10-point match tiebreaker. The Italians grabbed a 4-0 lead in the tiebreaker and held on. "Congratulations," Swiatek said at the trophy presentation. "You proved that, I guess, mixed doubles players are smarter tactically than singles players. "But we pushed until the end. We tried to make it competitive." The first three rounds -- including the semi-finals on Wednesday night -- were played with short sets with no-advantage scoring and a 10-point match tiebreak in lieu of a third set, before the final reverted to traditional sets with a 10-point match tiebreak. - Goosebumps - Swiatek and Ruud had clawed their way past top seeds Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper with a 3-5, 5-3, 10-8 semi-final victory, winning the last six points to advance. Errani and Vavassori romped past the American duo Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison 4-2, 4-2 to reach the final. Vavassori admitted he and Errani were on a "mission" to prove themselves against the singles stars. But both relished the electric atmosphere under the lights on the jam-packed Arthur Ashe Stadium Court. "It's the court where I feel goosebumps every time here," Errani said. Vavassori also enjoyed the "amazing atmosphere" and thanked organizers for putting mixed doubles in the spotlight. "I have to say that we showed today that doubles is a great product," he said. "I think it was amazing to play on this court with so many people and I have to say thanks from the bottom of my heart for the atmosphere." bb/pst
