In the New York Yankees’ game against Tampa Bay Rays, a fan had to be expelled from the stadium after he had called out the pitches of Ray’s pitcher Austin Pruitt.After the game, Yankee manager Joe Girardi spoke of a right decision.
Yankee catcher Gary Sanchez was in the eighth inning on the record when a fan, sitting behind the home plate of Pruitt’s pitches, clearly shouted in Spanish.According to Wilson Ramos, Rays Catcher, the calls were correct.
“When you come to a game, you should simply enjoy it,” Ramos said,”Everyone should see the ball just come and react to it.For me, it’s a form of fraud.”
Plate Umpire Dan Bellino registered the incident and went to the backstop to speak to a member of the security staff.These expelled the fan from the Yankee Stadium afterwards.
“Right, that shouldn’t happen,” Girardi said to the incident.Tampa Bay’s manager Kevin Cash also welcomed the decision:”The Yankees handled it well.”
The Yankees won the game 6-1 and secured their home advantage in a possible wildcard game.
