Marcus Stroman yells after infield couldn't convert double play; issues apology afterward
In his June 28 start against the Toronto Blue Jays, Marcus Stroman's emotions were on full display when the Yankees infield couldn't convert a double play opportunity in the fifth inning.
After the game, Stroman defended his outburst, saying his competitive nature took over.
"Yeah, this game can definitely have a lot of raw emotion come out. Stroman said in the postgame interview.
"So, you know, I'm very passionate. I care a lot about winning for this team, for this city. And yeah, sometimes raw emotion comes out. So I checked in with everybody I needed to check in with after the game. And yeah, like I said, it's all directed towards winning and being great out there. Sometimes it's frustrating."
Marcus Stroman followed it up with a tweet on social media where he acknowledged losing his cool and said that he should have been better.
"The squad went crazy today. Love to see it. Raw emotion and passion are part of the game. When you care deeply…frustrations come into the light. That’s on me for losing my cool. I have to be better. Truly love this team and will always compete at the highest level for my brothers. On to the next! @Yankees," he wrote on X.
The camaraderie within the Yankees group is something to behold as the team eyes their first World Series title since 2009.
