Report: Alex Verdugo absolutely roasted for bad decision for Yankees
The New York Yankees endured one of their worst defeats of the season on Monday night, falling 12-2 to the Chicago White Sox. As often happens, Alex Verdugo became a target of fan criticism following a questionable bunt attempt early in the game.
Verdugo’s inaugural season with the Yankees has been far from ideal, as shown by his .237 batting average, 10 home runs, 50 RBIs, and .668 OPS. He has also been prone to making mistakes that frustrate fans. In the fourth inning of this game, with runners on first and second and no outs, Verdugo tried to execute a sacrifice bunt but instead popped the ball up directly to the pitcher, resulting in an out. The Yankees failed to score in that inning, leading to widespread fan frustration with Verdugo and his post-game explanation for the play.
1) this fella hits leadoff for the Yankees every day
2) despite this and him running like me after 6 casamigos and lemonades to first the entire year, he hasn’t and will never be benched to “send a message” or whatever other bullshit
3) i cannot wait til he’s gone https://t.co/OC8Ak56CVF— Kev (@klew24) August 13, 2024
This might be the worst quote I’ve ever heard ever

Bring up Dominguez. This guy isn’t it. He can’t hit. He can’t field. Undisciplined. I can’t stop thinking about the error he made on that simple fly ball from months ago that lost us the game. He’s not it and we’ve given him plenty of chances.
