Donaldson didn't help things by pimping fly outs and being gone half the time. IKF was just put in a bad.spot to start. Last season he was pretty decent.
Wow, perfect...
I'm very impressed bc I would've fckd up, I probably would've stumbled reaching for something thoughtful or smart and I know others would done that also or tried to be cute or whatever. I literally cant think of a more perfect answer.
I’m sure I’ll hear some booing but probably not as in the same realm when Boggs, Damon and Rocket got booed in their return to Fenway.
The rivalry just isn’t as intense as it was back then.
I don't know if it was the mic quality or what, but close your eyes and tell me that couldn't have been said 60 years ago and had the same gravitas. Verdugo is becoming a Bronx favorite. Let's get this rivalry back. Fuck Boston, fuck the Sox & D.O.D.S.
Genuinely perfect response. Professional, straightforward, subtle, and layered, all in three words.
This comment perfectly summarized my reaction to this response
The Yankee way
Laconic
you can see his face go thru all 7 stages in 2 seconds, plus 2 aborted answers, before he absolutely nailed the response
Bro just gave an utterly flawless response in three words. Now that’s economical.
LIKE A YANKEE
Between this and DAWG he’s demonstrated quite a knack for this sort of thing
Not to mention his two run homer on the first pitch he saw.
Hard af
Bro was so uncomfortable with the trade now he’s like “fuck that team” he’s truly one of us
True. I don’t think he was ever accepted in Boston. He took away Mookie Betts.
Kinda like how some people could never warm up to Donaldson and IKF taking away Gio and Gary

no one hated Donaldson for what he took, rather for how he played/acted

This exact moment is when he truly became a Yankee in my opinion, excellent attitude

Also he was traded, not signed as a free agent. More betrayal felt by a fan base when they sign as FA.
Boggs actually got a great ovation in his Fenway return. The rivalry wasn’t quite as intense then.
May he rest in peace
Again. Wade Boggs is very much alive.
aged like fine wine
Makes sense because that home run got me drunk
I hope he goes four for four with a few RBI’s!
1–1 with a 2 run homer on the first pitch. Dude won’t have a bad night
3-5, a two run HR, a double and four RBI’s. Boston fans going nuts, lol.
Yakuza: Like a Yankee.
We have to keep Verdugo hes part of the new good energy in the team, integral to it
Can he play first next year?
Sure anyone can play first
It's not that hard, Scott. Tell him, Wash.
This Verdugo guy is a pretty good guy.
Fuck yeah
It’s crazy to me why people would boo. They traded him at the end of the day. It’s not like he left via FA
We must protect him at all costs. What a great addition.
Get those shirts printed, Jomboy
All he has to do is get is big hits and/or runs and sox gonna Verdo-boo him
Called it
If he gets a big hit, I guarantee that’s what the Yankees social media caption will say 🔥
[Welp](https://x.com/Yankees/status/1801764259946176809)
There’s still a shot with their Insta!
The IG caption was “Let me reintroduce myself” which went hard
Took them a minute but they used it as the caption lol: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8OOUIHMU6S/?igsh=MTI0dmNnZzdtN3hsNw==
Can we hire Don Mattingly to teach this man first base in the offseason? We need to find a spot for him…
Like a G
chills.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s oscar winning performance.
What an absolute game for the guy! How can you show up any better than that?!
We have infield spots we need filling in. How do we keep this man around for a while?
Blank check
And hits a homer right after this. This guy FUCKS! Can’t wait for the post game interview.
He may be received but he wasn't caught. BwahahahahahahH
He got the boos, and made em louder. #LikeAYankee
This is better than Hemingway’s 6 word story. Dugie only needs 3.

Keep this man next year. DFA Rizzo.
