“How Unfortunate” – Sarcasm Abounds as “Half-Hurt” Yankees Veteran Returns to Park Despite Seemingly Brutal Injury

Injuries have been an inevitable part of sports, and if you are a baseball player, they come as a compliment. There have been players in MLB who are vulnerable to injury in almost every game, and fans get disappointed with their frequent injuries. One such player is Josh Donaldson, who is facing backlash from fans due to yet another injury and is being booed by fans for his poor performances every now and then.

In a recent game, the Yankees DH once again put himself in trouble when he tried to belt a homer against the Chicago Cubs. Donaldson was seen in pain after that hit, as he probably ended up injuring his calf. Fans are dejected by this news and started trolling him for making it to the IL once again.

Josh Donaldson Got Booed By the Yankees Fans, once again

Donaldson was booed by the fans during the game against the Cubs, and his poor form is a concern for the New York Yankees team as he continues to let down the fans and his team. At this very moment, nothing is working for the Yanks. Not did they lose their DH for a few days because of injury, but they also faced a defeat to the Cubs right before the All-Star break. Talking about this game, he was booed because of all three of his next at-bats, two pop-ups, and a groundout.

If that was not enough for him, the worst was yet to come. In the very next game against the Chicago Cubs, he injured his calf as he tried to make a strike. This didn’t go too well for Donaldson, as fans started trolling him on Twitter and started posting their sarcastic replies to this post.

Fans express their concern for the Yankees and took shots at Donaldson

The video of this incident was shared by Talkin Yanks with the caption, “Josh Donaldson grabbed his calf after a swing and went down to the clubhouse after.” As soon as this post was shared, fans started sharing their views, and these comments reflect how crestfallen fans are with his performance.

One fan sarcastically showed his concern and wished that he enjoyed his brief IL stint.

Another fan was quick to react and wish him good-bye.

One other fan wrote that he does not want to see any player lose their spot, but he and other fans wish Donaldson never pulled pinstripes again.

One other fan expressed his disappointment in the injuries that are happening to the Yankees team, as Aaron Judge is also injured.

These comments pretty much sum up fans’ sentiments, and they want Donaldson to pull himself back and do it the way he used to do it back in the time so that he earns back the love and respect of spectators.
