Yankees fans flee stadium as playoff hopes collapse

>> WELCOME BACK. IT’S DO OR DIE TONIGHT IN THE BRONX. THE YANKEES, WITH THEIR BACKS AGAINST THE WALL, FACING PLAYOFF ELIMINATION IN GAME FOUR AGAINST THE BLUE JAYS. BUT FANS ARE HOLDING ON TO HOPE FOR ONE MORE WIN TO KEEP THE SEASON ALIVE. >> THAT’S RIGHT. FOX FIVE’S JACOBUS IS LIVE IN THE BRONX. AND YET AGAIN COMING DOWN TO THE WIRE. RICHARD. >> IT IS, BUT I THINK WE CAN SAY THIS IS OVER. I’VE NEVER SEEN A MASS EXODUS LIKE THIS DURING A YANKEE PLAYOFF GAME. STEVEN. NATASHA. THAN THIS ONE. AND THIS STARTED ABOUT AN INNING AGO, BUT THOUSANDS OF FANS ARE RUNNING OUT OF YANKEE STADIUM TONIGHT BECAUSE SIMPLY, THE YANKEES JUST DIDN’T SHOW UP. TORONTO HELD THEM TO FOUR HITS THIS ENTIRE GAME WERE IN THE NINTH INNING NOW, AND THE BLUE JAYS HAVE A 5 TO 1 LEAD. CAM SCHLITTLER FOR THE YANKEES. HE WAS THE ROOKIE HE STARTED TONIGHT. HE WAS GREAT. HE WENT THROUGH SEVEN. BOON PULLED HIM. IN COMES THE YANKEE BULLPEN. THEY GIVE UP A BUNCH OF RUNS BUT THE YANKEES THEY JUST COULDN’T HIT. THIS WAS A BULLPEN GAME FOR TORONTO. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO COME OUT AND HIT TONIGHT. THAT WAS THE POINT. THEY COULDN’T DO IT UNLESS THERE IS SOME WILD BOTTOM OF THE NINTH INNING. THE YANKEES SEASON IS OFFICIALLY OVER. AND LET ME JUST EXPLAIN TO YOU, WHEN YOU TALK TO YANKEE FANS AND YOU ASK THEM JUST HOW HEARTBREAKING THIS IS, WELL, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST THEY JUST TELL YOU, YOU GOT TO FIRE THE MANAGER OR THE WHOLE TEAM HAS TO BE REDONE. IS THAT EVER GOING TO REALLY HAPPEN? WE DON’T KNOW. LET’S GO TO SOME SOUND WE GOT FROM EARLIER BECAUSE WE SPOKE TO FANS, AND IT’S KIND OF SO SAD TO GO TO THIS SOUND, BUT IT’S THE ONLY SOUND WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. AND THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT JUST HOW EXCITED THEY WERE COMING OFF OF LAST NIGHT. WHAT WAS THE DECISION ON COMING OUT HERE TONIGHT? IT’S GAME FOUR. IS THIS PLAN, DO YOU SAY LAST NIGHT YOU KNOW. >> WHAT, HOME RUN. I LITERALLY WENT ONLINE AND GOT THE TICKETS WHILE THEY WERE IN BED AND. >> SHE’S LIKE, LET’S GET TICKETS. WE’VE NEVER BEEN TO A PLAYOFF GAME. I SAID, WHY NOT? LET’S GO. WE GOT THIS TONIGHT. JUDGE IS ON A ROLL TRENT GRISHAM’S GOING TO PICK IT UP. BELLINGER SATIN’S GOING TO EXPLODE TONIGHT. >> YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. LET’S SEE IF HE CAN GET IT DONE AND AND GET IT BACK TO TORONTO. AND LET’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS. >> THOSE FANS MAY BE EATING THEIR WORDS NOW I’M SURE THEY MAY HAVE LEFT. BOTTOM OF THE NINTH INNING IS WHAT WE’RE GOING INTO. WE’RE STILL IN THE TOP OF THE NINTH, STILL IN THE TOP OF THE NINTH. AND TORONTO, AS THEY HAVE DONE EVERY INNING TONIGHT, IS THREATENING TO PUT MORE RUNS ON THE BOARD. IT’S FIVE ONE TORONTO IN THE NINTH HERE IN A ELIMINATION GAME FOR THE YANKEES. WILL THEY GET ELIMINATED? HOPEFULLY. WE’LL UPDATE YOU LATER IN THIS BROADCAST WITH GOOD NEWS. BUT THE HOPE IS SLOWLY GOING AWAY. STEPHEN. NATASHA. >> YEAH, IT’S A SOBERING SIGHT SEEING EVERYONE STREAMING OUT BEFORE THE GAME IS OVER. WE DO KNOW THIS. IF THEY DO MAKE A COMEBACK, NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WILL EVER ADMIT THEY WERE THE

  3. True remarks at the end.😂 If there'd been a huge comeback in the 9th, most of those fans would've claimed to have seen the whole thing! In a way I wouldn't blame them😄

  19. Imagine that. The Mets got eliminated from playoff contention. The Yankees get eliminated early. New York teams with their ridiculously enormous payrolls are out. Now, if only the Dodgers and Phillies could BOTH be eliminated and we could have a World Series between teams who can play better overall baseball. Face it, the Dodgers bullpen flat SUCKS and the Yankees defense is terrible. I'd like to see the Blue Jays and Mariners in the American League and Chicago against Philadelphia in the National League. The Cubs and Blue Jays then play the World Series with the Cubs winning in 7.

  24. Yankees fans are the Cowboys fans of baseball. At the beginning its their year, then when they bomb, fans want everyone fired. Losers

  25. I can't imagine having to play in front of these fans. They bail, down just four runs with two innings to go,.Jays fans would never do that. The most spoiled, entitled, ungrateful fans in any sport.
