They reject Carlos Rodón's attitude after receiving eight runs in his last start with the Yankees [Video]

The Cuban pitcher of the New York Yankees, Carlos Rodón, has not had his best season in his debut year with the team and frustration seems to begin to hit hard after the controversy this Friday in the match against the Kansas City Royals.

Rodón suffered perhaps the worst performance of his career against the Royals by failing to make a single out and allowing eight runs, six hits and two walks, showing a level of lack of control that forced the pitching coach, Matt Blake, to leave.

The pitching coach jumped onto the mound looking to try to direct the work of the Yankees’ arm, to reach the difference of eight roads on the scoreboard, but he found himself with an answer ahead of him that made many Mules fans upset.

When Blake sought to talk to Rodón to help him direct his work and get the inning out, the left-hander decided to ignore the suggestions and simply turned his back on him, in a gesture that was widely criticized by Yankees fans.

In addition, Rodón’s disastrous presentation marked a new negative record by becoming the first player in Yankees history to allow eight runs without recording a single out.

About the event, Blake spoke to the press and did not hesitate for a minute to vent his annoyance with Rodón, pointing out that although he notices him frustrated, there is nothing that justifies his actions.

“I understand that we all have jobs to do. He is frustrated. That’s a big part of it. There is a side of regret and a side of apology, but you can’t act like that. Unfortunately, those are attitudes that no pitching coach would like to experience on national television,” he said.

Likewise, Rodón spoke to the press and took the opportunity to apologize for his attitude, ensuring that the annoyance led him to act that way.

“Really embarrassing, and after doing that with Matt coming out trying to help me, I turned my back on him. I wasn’t in my right mind. “That depends on me,” Rodón said.

The arm was a disappointment for the Yankees in his first season of a six-year, $162 million multiyear contract, leaving him with a 3-8 record with a 6.85 ERA in 14 games.
