Yankees fans got crushed for booing when pitching coach Matt Blake visited Cam Schlittler, but Evan Roberts comes to their defense. He explains why the emotional playoff atmosphere, limited sightlines and fear of Schlittler being removed made the reaction understandable, while pushing back on the idea that the crowd simply didn’t know baseball.
The conversation shifts to just how quickly the Yankees have moved from the Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole era toward a young core led by Schlittler and Ben Rice. Evan, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash credit Brian Cashman for building that group without a painful transition, revisit the Michael King trade, and explain why Boston already has plenty of reason to despise the Yankees’ newest young stars.
