Video shows what was said during Myles Straw’s close-up confrontation with Yankees fans

Yikes.

The Cleveland Guardians outfielders were furious on Saturday after one of the uglier scenes in baseball played out at Yankee Stadium.

Despite the Yankees winning the game on a pinch-hit, walk-off single from Gleyber Torres, Yankees fans resorted to throwing trash at Guardians outfielders Myles Straw and Oscar Mercado.

The entire incident was sparked an at-bat earlier when Guardians rookie outfielder Steven Kwan was shaken up after colliding into the left-field wall. As Kwan was being attended to trainers, Guardians center fielder Straw took exception with a heckling fan in the stands and actually climbed the fencing to confront the fan face to face.

We now know what was said. (Warning: NSFW language)

The fan obviously didn’t hit Straw or else a scene reminiscent of the “Malice in the Palace” could have played out. Still, there’s never an excuse to throw trash at players and taunting an injured player is just an awful look all the way around.

After the game, Straw said his emotions got the best of him during the confrontation, but he did add that the Yankees had the “worst fanbase on the planet.”

So, there’s that.

In the day following the incident, Straw was heavily booed as he went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts. The Yankees won, 10-2, to sweep the Guardians.

Myles Straw llamó la peor afición del planeta a la de los Yankees después de un feo espectáculo al terminar el juego

No es usual que un equipo gane el juego en la baja de la novena con un hit ganador y el momento sea echado a perder por los fanáticos. Pero eso fue exactamente lo que pasó el sábado en el triunfo de los Yankees 5-4 sobre los Guardians de Cleveland …

No es usual que un equipo gane el juego en la baja de la novena con un hit ganador y el momento sea echado a perder por los fanáticos. Pero eso fue exactamente lo que pasó el sábado en el triunfo de los Yankees 5-4 sobre los Guardians de Cleveland en el Yankee Stadium.

Eso provocó que el jardinero central Myles Straw explotó a *todos* los fanáticos después del juego.

El incidente se dio en la novena entrada después de que el novato de los Guardians, Steven Kwan, tuvo un duro choque en la barda del jardín izquierdo tratando de atrapar la pelota. Kwan quedó un poco aturdido pero continuó en el juego. Y mientras era atendido, los jardineros Straw y Oscar Mercado se molestaron con los fans de los Yankees que se estaban burlando de Kwan por haberse lastimado. Straw trepó la barda para confrontar a un fanático que estaba haciendo señas obscenas.

Traducción.- MILES STRAW PARA SIEMPRE

El juego no se había ni terminado en ese momento – los Yankees acababan de empatar. Así que cuando todos regresaron a sus posiciones, la esperanza es que la situación se hubiera tranquilizado. Eso cambiaría cuatro picheos después.

Gleyber Torres conectó un hit sencillo al jardín derecho. Y mientras los jardineros de los Guardians se preparaban para dejar el campo, alguien le lanzó una lata a Mercado. Entonces, docenas de fanáticos de los Yankees en las gradas del jardín derecho – una sección totalmente diferente al primer incidente – procedieron a lanzar latas y botellas a los jardineros de los Guardians.

Traducción.- Esto es vergonzoso. Los fans de los Yankees deberían estar avergonzados-. Wow. Los Yankees ganan con un walk- off y les lanzan objetos a los jardineros de los Guardians. 

Después del juego, Straw estaba entendiblemente enojado con los fanáticos de los Yankees. Fue un espectáculo inexcusable y sin clase. Straw dijo esto de los fanáticos via The Atlantic:

“Estaba simplemente enojado para eso momento,” dijo Straw, “básicamente diciéndoles ‘Silencio. Cállense. No viene al caso lo que le estás diciendo a este hombre frente a ti.’”

En un inicio, Straw declinó hablar con los reporteros después del juego. Mientras caminaba en el club hacia los vestidores, sin embargo, dijo que dejaría que “que los fanáticos de los Yankees hablaran por él,” añadiendo que los fanáticos “no tenían clase” y considerándolos la “peor fanaticada del planeta.”

El domingo, Straw está de nuevo en la alineación como titular de los Guardians. Los fanáticos de los Yankees parecen haberse enterado de sus comentarios porque lo dejaron que los oyera mientras estaba al bat, lo que terminó en un ponche.

Traducción.- Gerrit Cole poncha a Myles Straw

Probablemente este no sea el final del asunto.

Guardians’ Myles Straw called Yankees fans the ‘worst fanbase on the planet’ amid ugly postgame scene

They let him hear it on Sunday.

It’s not too often that a team can win on a ninth-inning rally and walk-off hit but manage to have the moment ruined by fans. Yet, that was exactly what happened in Saturday’s 5-4 Yankees win over the Cleveland Guardians at Yankee Stadium.

It had Guardians center fielder Myles Straw blasting *all* Yankees fans after the game.

The incident unfolded in the ninth inning after Guardians rookie Steven Kwan took a hard collision into the left-field wall trying to make a catch. Kwan was a bit shaken up but remained in the game. And as he was getting attended to, Guardians outfielders Straw and Oscar Mercado took exception to Yankees fans taunting Kwan for getting hurt. Straw climbed up on the wall to confront a fan who was flashing a lewd gesture.

The game wasn’t even over at this point — the Yankees had just tied it up. So, when everyone returned to their positions, the hope was that the situation had cooled down. That would change four pitches later.

Gleyber Torres hit a pinch-hit, walk-off single to right field. And as the Guardians outfielders were preparing to jog off the field, someone threw a can at Mercado. Then, dozens of Yankee fans in the right-field stands — a totally different section from the first incident — proceeded to throw cans and bottles at the Guardians outfielders.

After the game, Straw was understandably upset with Yankees fans. It was an inexcusable, classless display. Straw did manage to get a shot in at those fans. He said via The Athletic:

“I was just hot at that point,” Straw said, “just basically telling them, ‘Be quiet. Shut up. There’s no business, what you’re saying to this guy right now.’”

Initially, Straw declined to speak with reporters after the game. As he walked across the visiting clubhouse toward the shower, however, he said he would “let Yankees fans talk for him,” adding that the fans were “classless” and deeming them the “worst fan base on the planet.”

Come Sunday, Straw was back in the lineup and leading off for the Guardians. Yankees fans appeared to take notice to his remarks too because they let him hear it throughout the at-bat, which ended in a strikeout.

That probably won’t be the end of it either.
