Lazy Yankees player ripped by analysts after being humiliated by Ronald Acuna Jr's 301-foot throw
Yankees rookie Jorbit Vivas has come under fire after falling victim to Ronald Acuna Jr's stunning 301-foot throw on Friday night. New York had two on and one out when Atlanta Braves superstar Acuna Jr. humiliated Vivas. After catching a fly ball from Cody Bellinger, the outfielder launched a remarkable throw that saw Vivas tagged out as he ambled from second to third base. The double play ended the Yankees inning and left Aaron Judge on deck. New York went on to lose 7-3 to a struggling Braves team in Atlanta and Vivas came in for heavy criticism. The Yankees announcers on YES Network branded his actions 'inexcusable'. 'That can't happen. Those are little things that cost you a chance to have Aaron Judge hit with first and third,' former Yankees manager Joe Girardi said on air. 'You just took the bat out of Aaron Judge's hands. First of all, you're not running hard to third, then you don't slide. As you said, perfect word, inexcusable,' Michael Kay added. UNBELIEVABLE 🤯 RONALD ACUÑA JR. WITH THE CANNON 💪 — MLB (@MLB) July 19, 2025 Jorbit Vivas (L) has been slammed after falling victim to Ronald Acuna Jr's (R) 301-foot throw After the game Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed that he told Vivas: 'You can never let that happen again.' Boone added: 'Jorbit is a guy that plays his tail off... he's a hard-nosed player and he got caught up there. Obviously a situation that can't happen.' Vivas took responsibility for the blunder, admitting the double play was 'on him'. 'He's standing there and it looked like he wasn't receiving the ball at all,' Vivas said about Acuna Jr, through an interpreter. 'But that's not on him; it's on me there to make it to that base. Acuna has a really strong arm and he can make a throw from anywhere. That's on me.' Yankees third-base coach Luis Rojas urged Vivas to slide but the rookie said: 'I picked him up kind of late... the third baseman was standing there a little bit in the way. But it's my fault.'

Watch: Ronald Acuna Jr.'s incredible throw from right field completes double play
Ronald Acuna Jr. made one of the best throws you'll ever see Friday night during the Atlanta Braves' game against the New York Yankees. Fresh off representing the Braves in the All-Star Game played in Atlanta, the right fielder caught a fly ball hit by Cody Bellinger just on the grass in the right field corner. He then turned and fired the ball all the way to third base on the fly to nail Jorbit Vivas, who was attempting to tag up. Acuna and the Braves were aided in part by some terrible baserunning by Vivas, who seemed to decelerate into the bag and failed to slide. Still, the Yankees third baseman wouldn't have been out had Acuna not made an unbelievable throw. The Yankees did not challenge, and the double play ended the top of the third inning. Acuna helped the Braves take a 3-0 lead after the first inning with an RBI double and he scored a run on an Ozzie Albies sacrifice fly. Through seven innings, he was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI. The USA TODAY app gets you to the heart of the news — fast.
