RAB asked on Twitter how the Yankees could be so bad with bases loaded? Did they fail in that situation again in this game?
It appears he is eligible:

Eligibility
Definition
Per Major League Baseball's collective bargaining agreement, players must meet certain criteria in order to be eligible for postseason play.
Players must be on the 40-man roster, the 60-day disabled list or the bereavement/family medical emergency list as of midnight ET on Aug. 31 to be eligible for their respective clubs' postseason rosters. Consequently, players that are acquired via September trades or signed as free agents in September are ineligible for postseason play.
Clubs can petition the Commissioner's Office to add any player that was not on the 40-man roster as of Aug. 31 -- provided the player was in the organization on Aug. 31 and is replacing a player who has spent at least 60 days on the 60-day disabled list. The Royals were able to use this tactic to add Brandon Finnegan to their roster during the 2014 postseason, despite the fact that Finnegan was not on the 40-man roster as of Aug. 31.
Additionally, all players who have served part of a suspension for performance-enhancing drugs in a given season are ineligible for postseason play that year.
Frustrating team to watch
No kidding,
Have to question whether Betances has the makeup to be a closer even though I can’t fault Boone for going with his best reliever.
Taking Andujar out fior defense bit Boone
So Judge took live BP v. Adams, Cole, and Diehl.
RAB note
* The Yankees must really like Diehl to bring him to New York for a dinky sim game. September call-up Stephen Tarpley could’ve thrown to Judge to have him face a lefty. Diehl, the team’s 27th round pick in 2016, had a 2.51 ERA (2.24 FIP) with 36.2% strikeouts and 7.7% walks in 75.1 innings at High-A and Double-A this year. He was on the Triple-A postseason roster as well.
Not surprised

Judge is starting
It’s tough to give the opposing pitcher credit almost every game.
Walker
Huge.
Chap off the dl.
Big game for rebuilding team confidence, imo.
Pretty good so far
Sev needs Sanchez?
Yay Sheffield
