“#Yankees, Rays reactions to object-throwing fans<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Small crowd, big problem.<\/p>\n

Some of the 10,202 fans at Yankee Stadium made their presence felt in an ugly way Friday night when they began throwing baseballs and other objects onto the field during the bottom of the eighth inning of the Yankees\u2019 8-2 loss to the Rays.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are always concerned when there\u2019s a chance people are throwing stuff onto the field,\u201d Rays manager Kevin Cash said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if it was baseball giveaway day. For whatever reason, one or two did it and it seemed like there were 15 others that followed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The crowd would\u2019ve been larger if not for New York\u2019s COVID-19 restrictions. And by the point at which people started throwing things, the crowd was smaller than the announced figure: disgust in a game<\/a> in which the Yankees committed three errors and had no runs on one hit through six innings had sent some to the exits.<\/p>\n

Yankees manager Aaron Bonne is a third-generation baseball lifer and can\u2019t remember witnessing a similar scene. He chose his words very carefully in saying \u201cit looks bad for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The app<\/a>arent message \u2014 play better! \u2014 wasn\u2019t lost on the Yankees, even if the form in which it was delivered was embarrassing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the first time that I think I\u2019ve experienced that,\u201d left fielder Clint Frazier said of the fans throwing items onto the field. \u201cYou never want it to come to that, obviously, and hopefully moving forward we play well enough to where that does not happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n
