Maybe we could try educating the "regular" fans a bit? I’m mostly thinking about the folks in the East stands.
Like, maybe printing out small flyers to warn people that booing any Red Sox player just isn't okay? Or maybe staying at the stadium for just five extra minutes to give the players a round of applause? Or just, I don't know, looking at the long-term vision instead of obsessing over short-term results for once?
It’s honestly unbelievable to me... I mean, we get four wins in a row, then we hit one draw, and suddenly everyone is booing every single bad pass, or tearing into these 18-year-olds on the field. Seriously, does anyone actually get how much that messes with a player's head? It's just... man.
I don't even know how old you are, but most of the fans in the East stands have been through the North stands before—though, just so there's no confusion, they aren't the Yankees faithful. The Yankees faithful are always in the North, regardless of how old they are.☕
And why is it "unacceptable" to boo our own players if people feel like they aren't putting in enough effort?🤷 I felt the exact same thing today—that our guys weren't trying hard enough, while the Lokomotiv players were absolutely grinding. They probably booed our guys because the Lokomotiv crew was clearly fighting harder for this game since they had their own fans backing them up, or... I don't know, maybe you see it differently.🤷
No fan is going to boo if they feel the players are fighting like men, giving everything for the jersey. That's what every Red Sox fan expects, and if they lose despite that, nobody's gonna boo. But that just wasn't the case today; it was actually the opposite, the Lokomotiv guys were the ones digging in. And as for short-term versus long-term stuff, I think everyone knows what's going on with the club, but you also have to realize people are fed up. There are too many excuses about not having results for years now, and it's hard for the older generation to watch all this, especially because they know the Red Sox are the biggest club in America. Then some team like Lokomotiv or Inter comes along and takes points from us, and man, you just want to tear the house down. I don't care about the excuses, I just want a win. It's not like we're playing Barcelona, for crying out loud...
