"Can us Yankees fans now make it seem like a no big deal when y'all beat Baltimore too?" , "You’re playing the Orioles…" - Boston Red Sox fans get roasted for celebrating home run bomb against last place Baltimore Orioles
The Boston Red Sox have finally shown up to the MLB season. Their offense is clicking at a very high level, despite their 21-23 record and fourth place position in the AL East. Because of this, whenever something good happens and they try to celebrate, they still get roasted by fans throughout the MLB.
This most recent occurrence comes after Xander Bogaerts absolutely crushed a home run over the Green Monster in left field, but it was against the last place Baltimore Orioles. When you're a fan of a team as historic as the Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees, people will always be looking for an opportunity to roast you, and this provided them that opportunity.
A clip of the homer was posted to Twitter by the MLB, and to be fair, it's a pretty impressive home run.

This was an excellent homer, but it still generated plenty of ridicule.
Boston Red Sox seemingly can't win in this situation
When the team is terrible, they get made fun of. Now that they are putting together some strong games and highlight reel plays, they still get made fun of. That's just the deal when you root for a powerhouse team, with this as the latest example.
