Yankees: Brett Gardner hit with worst check swing call you’ll ever see

Yankees OF Brett Gardner got royally screwed on a check swing. He’ll be begging for robot umps, like, yesterday.

The Yankees are having a whale of a time doing anything of substance against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, proving that all good things must come to an end, as the entire team pretty much swung the bat like JD Martinez.

And when streaks like this do reach that end, they often reach it hard and at full force.

Sox rookie Tanner Houck dealt, Michael Chavis and Bobby Dalbec destroyed the baseball, Deivi Garcia looked rough (hey, it happens), and the umpires apparently all got together and agreed to try to pop a vein in Brett Gardner’s skull.

Already down 6-1 late in a snoozy getaway day, Gardner had to get low to avoid a yanked Phillips Valdez fastball that had him skipping rope. The umps deemed Gardy’s acrobatics a SWING, when, in fact, they looked like ANYTHING but that.

Is this karmic retribution for stealing Clint Frazier’s turtleneck? Who’s to say? We’re to say, and it is.

But legitimately, in what universe is this a swing? The type of universe where the entire umpiring crew simply wants to go home and catch Patriots-Seahawks on Sunday night? I guess?

Gardner’s had a wild 24 hours, justifying the turtleneck thievery in Saturday’s postgame media session, and then getting the karmic retribution in the batter’s box in the middle of a blowout.

The Yankees have spent 10 consecutive games getting all the breaks, so I guess they were due, but this one’s still fairly embarrassing.

Would robot umpires even have the capability to assess this swing? The bat isn’t even in the picture. Would their sensors even have any concept of what happened here?

The humans certainly didn’t, though. Couldn’t be worse. Just get this squad to Buffalo and get on with it.
