The rivalry between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays is as heated as it gets. Itâs always been like that and itâs not likely to change any time soon. Every time we see Rays vs Yankees, we know something could go down any second.
Thatâs why it wasnât a surprise to see both benches clearing following yesterdayâs 5-3 game after Aroldis Chapman threw a 101 mph pitch over Mike Brosseauâs head with 2 outs in the top of the 9th inning.
Things almost get physical between both teams, as usual. However, Major League Baseball took notice of manager Kevin Cashâs comments, as he may have threatened the Yankees ahead of todayâs game.
Kevin Cash Threatens The New York Yankees:
Kevin Cash went on a rant to blast Aaron Booneâs Yankees for Aroldis Champanâs pitch. He claimed the team was poorly coached and said that he has many pitchers that could take matters into their own hands.
âPoor judgement. Poor coaching. Poor teaching.I can assure you, other than three years ago, there hasnât been one pitch thrown with intent from any of our guys. Somebody has to be accountable and the last thing Iâll say is I have a whole damn stable full of guys that throw 98 mph,â the coach said.
Aaron Boone Says Kevin Cashâs Comments Are âScaryâ:
Needless to say, it didnât take long before Aaron Boone replied to his colleagueâs comments, deeming them âscaryâ before adding that heâll reach out to him to set the record straight ahead of todayâs matchup.
âThatâs pretty scary comments. I donât think thatâs right at all. But Iâm not going to get into it right now. if we need to talk about things, we will,â the coach said in his post-game press conference.
Aroldis Chapman has barely pitched this season due to Covid-19 and injuries. Heâs never been known for his control, so it may take him some time before working his way back to his usual self. If it was in purpose, thatâs inexcusable. Whatever the case may be, we hope the Rays donât retaliate tonight.
