Fans Sarcastically Blame “Shoulder Fatigue “ After the $162 Million Star Fails to Perform Since Returning From an Injury

The New York Yankees are a dream team. Players seize this opportunity with great pride, driven by the immense success it offers. The same goes for Carlos Rodon, who signed for the Yankees ahead of the 2023 season. Because of his records, and the contract money, fans expected him to perform on the mound. But a first-half injury halted it, and things have not been normal since then. Similar was the case in yesterday’s game.

As the Yankees have struggled this season, they hoped for a better start to the second half. But it has not happened for the team and Rodon, who made his second start of the season. All the fans had eyes on the game and did not like the contribution from the ace pitcher. Reacting to it, they shared their thoughts on this entire episode.

A tough start for Carlos Rodon at Coors Field

Carlos Rodon had his second start of the 2023 season for the New York Yankees after he signed a $162 million six-year contract. It came against the Colorado Rockies and did not go as per expectations. Talkin’ Yanks Shared a Twitter post regarding it, which read, “Coors Field didn’t treat Rodón too well in his second start.”

Notably, Rodon pitched in five innings, wherein he allowed four runs in four hits at an ERA of 5.23. Though he claimed six strikeouts, it did not help him to the cause. The performance differed from the expectations, resulting in the Yankees eventually losing the game with a score of 7-2.

Given Rodon recorded 14 wins and 8 losses in his last season with 237 strikeouts at an ERA of 2.88, his latest performance was not even half of that. Fans hopeful of a change were unhappy with it and reflected those emotions in their reactions.

Dejection prevails as the Yankees lose on Rodon’s start

The entire season has been a struggle for the Pinstripes. And the same has continued even after they got their latest signing back on the mound. The loss left the fans dejected, who could not get over the lousy pitching and ridiculed it for a loss. Here are the following tweets that capture the sadness of the fans.

Fans also questioned Rodon’s signing on a big deal because of his less contribution until now.

But a few fans also showed faith in Rodon and asked others to give him time to get better.

Well, Rodon and others must put in a better effort and keep the championship dream alive. It would be interesting to see whether they could do it or not in the upcoming games of the second-half of the season.
