​The Yankees didn’t have a hit through 7.2 innings against Rays starter Drew Rasmussen on Saturday night and hadn’t had a baserunner since a two-out walk in the third inning.So, when Austin Wells finally broke through with a liner down the right-field line that just stayed fair in the midst of a 1-0 game, he took a chance.Instead of cruising into second base with a double, the slow-footed catcher blew past third base coach Luis Rojas’ hold sign and rounded the base in an attempt for what would’ve been his third-career triple.The result was an easy out at third which ended the inning and possible threat.“I thought it kicked off more than it did, but [the Rays] made a good play on the ball,” Wells said. “Two outs there, I’m trying to make something happen, be aggressive with not much going on in the game. Obviously I’d love to be safe there or standing on second base.”To Tampa Bay’s credit, it was a perfectly executed relay from right fielder Victor Mesa to shortstop Taylor Walls to third baseman Junior Caminero which caught Wells dead to rights and had him out by a wide margin. Still, the decision, of Wells’ own making, to try and stretch a double into a triple was ill advised, regardless of how well Rasmussen had been pitching up until that point, especially because it was the final out of the inning. Rojas knew that, which is why he had his hands up at third base to signify to Wells to stay put, something the catcher didn’t see until he past second base and by that time he was already committed.“Yeah, that’s probably the smart approach there, but in the moment I was being aggressive,” Wells said about his decision. “Like I said, we didn’t really have much going on in the game so every 90 feet matters and obviously I have full trust in the guys behind me, but I was trying to make something happen.”One could certainly understand Wells’ bold urge in that moment, but as one of the slower players on the team it ended up doing more harm than good.Of course, not only is the play magnified because it happened during the postseason, but also because New York ended the night with just one hit in a 1-0 loss of Game 1 of the ALDS.“Obviously you want to be safe, but I was committed to being there and thought I had a good chance to get there,” Wells said. “Can’t hang your head too much, I mean they pitched incredible tonight and like I said I was trying to make something happen.”The 27-year-old in his third full season as the catcher for the Yankees discussed the benefits he saw from being on third base as opposed to second base in that situation, citing Tropicana Field’s turf that “plays fast” which might’ve prevented him from scoring on a single.Wells also mentioned that anything could’ve happened on the play and that it took the Rays executing things perfectly on the defensive end for him to be out. “You have to take risks, but obviously in that situation the risk was wrong,” he said. “… I t
