david ortiz revels in yankees stunning defeat to orioles

Could the Red Sox be World Series contenders this year? John Tomase and Tom Giles believe it’s a possibility. To this day, Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz takes great pleasure in the New York Yankees' demise. Ortiz was among those who watched the Yankees' collapse vs. the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. New York took a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth and watched it evaporate as shortstop Anthony Volpe botched a routine ground ball and ex-Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo misplayed a fly...

Orioles stars Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman joined Ortiz and the FOX Sports crew on Monday, giving Big Papi a perfect opportunity to revel in the Yankees' defeat. Subscribe to NBC Sports Boston's podcast network to hear our Insiders bring you the latest insights on your favorite teams! The New York Yankees' final game before the All-Star break was a disaster. And David Ortiz loved watching every second of his longtime rival crumble against the Baltimore Orioles to send them sulking into the break. New York was riding high heading into the bottom of the ninth inning after rookie slugger Ben Rice continued his darling season with a three-run homer to give his team a 5-3 lead. With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the ninth, a routine grounder to Anthony Volpe should've been the ballgame.

But Volpe couldn't cleanly field it, and Cedric Mullins stepped to the plate with the ultimate opportunity to play hero ball down two. Mullins slapped a routine fly ball to Yankees left fielder Alex Verdugo, but Verdugo severely misplayed it, charging inward before realizing the ball was preparing to sail right over his head. Verdugo tried to reverse course, but fell in a heap as he retreated backwards. Baltimore walked it off on a pop-up that had a 99 percent catch probability, claiming a 6-5 victory. After a crushing Game 1 loss and a missing opportunity to take advantage when the bases were loaded and no outs in the sixth, Aaron Judge said, “We’ve got to keep getting those opportunities... The Blue Jays shattered that belief in Game 2 with a 13-7 blowout.

Toronto’s offense attacked Fried and threw him out of the game after just three innings and seven earned runs. They built a massive 12-0 lead before the Yankees even recorded their first hit. The promise of coming through transformed into a postseason nightmare that set the stage for a legendary rival to twist the knife. On the FOX Sports postgame show, the Boston Red Sox icon David Ortiz watched the collapse beside his old rivals, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. And he made a sarcastic remark. “They[Yankees] can bring Jesus back, and they’re still going to Cancun.

It’s over. It’s a wrap.” After a few more comments, he continued with a smile, “The only chance the Yankees have is if you[Jeter], [Mariano Rivera], Andy [Pettitte], and AROD come back and play.” The “Cancun” joke started in 1998 with NBA player Nick Van Exel of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Red Sox and Orioles are AL East rivals, but their mutual hate of the Yankees unites them. Orioles All-Stars Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman joined Red Sox legend David Ortiz at Globe Life Field ahead of the All-Star Game, reviewing Baltimore’s first half of the season. Of course, Ortiz brought up Sunday’s game with the Yankees, where the Orioles trailed at the bottom of the ninth inning, 5-3, before winning the game, 6-5.

Upon doing so, the two Orioles’ couldn’t contain their laughter. “Nothing make me more happier than that,” Ortiz said. “You guys coming from behind and whoop them, I mean, watch this.” David Ortiz was in attendance for the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby at Globe Life Field on Monday night, and prior to the event the legendary Boston Red Sox slugger-turned-MLB analyst conducted interviews with... Ortiz sat down with Baltimore Orioles All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman and shortstop Gunnar Henderson and quickly brought up one of his favorite topics of discussion: a painful New York Yankees loss. In the Yankees' last game prior to the All-Star break, they fumbled a lead in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Orioles as a pair of defensive mishaps resulted in Baltimore securing...

Ortiz told the duo that he was watching the game and admitted that, even in retirement, seeing his former rivals take a tough loss was still an incredible feeling. "Then I watched the Yankees lose. Nothing made me more happier than that. You guys coming from behind and whoop them," said Ortiz, before showing the defensive miscues from shortstop Anthony Volpe and left fielder Alex Verdugo. "That made me want to go out for a nice dinner, a big steak," added Ortiz. There's nothing David Ortiz enjoyed more during his career with the Boston Red Sox than beating the New York Yankees.

Ortiz's heroics in the 2004 American League Championship Series stand out as the Red Sox completed a masterful comeback. The Hall of Famer went on to hit .303 with 53 home runs in 243 games against the Yankees. That enjoyment still comes as a TV analyst with FOX Sports. The Yankees suffered a brutal late-game loss to the Orioles on Sunday that allowed Baltimore to re-gain a one-game lead in the AL East. While joined on set at All-Star media day by Orioles phenoms Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman, the Red Sox legend took time to dunk on his rivals yet again. "I watched the Yankees lose," Ortiz told the duo on the FOX Sports broadcast.

"Nothing made me more happy than that." Leading into the All-Star break, the New York Yankees snapped out of a series losing streak by winning against AL-East leaders Baltimore Orioles. The high-voltage series kicked off with the eruption of a physical brawl following a hit-by-pitch incident that saw both sides throwing punches. Meanwhile, the New York Yankees rose above the tensions to win the first two games and seal the three-game series. However, the Yanks had the stage set for a sweep before Alex Verdugo and Anthony Volpe committed costly errors on the field. While the Yanks were shell-shocked, ex-Red Sox hitter David Ortiz enjoyed every moment of the Orioles’ comeback.

The New York Yankees’ final game before the All-Star break was a painful watch for the fans as they let the Baltimore Orioles snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat and also avoid... It all started with rookie first baseman Ben Rice putting the Yanks in a 5-3 lead with a thunderous three-run home run. Up until the ninth inning, the Bombers had maintained the lead and were heading for a sweet sweep finish. However, Clay Holmes ended up blowing his save completely. He allowed all the bases to load, and under pressure, shortstop Anthony Volpe and left fielder Alex Verdugo cracked. Volpe fumbled a ground ball to allow a run, which reduced the lead to 5-4.

Meanwhile, David Ortiz, the legendary former Boston Red Sox slugger, didn’t shy away from expressing his true feelings while watching the dramatic finish to the game. At the All-Star media event, Ortiz was talking to Orioles players when he said that he loved watching the Yankees lose in the finale. “When I watch the Yankees lose, nothing makes me more happy than that. You guys coming from behind and whoop them,” Ortiz said.

Notably, Ortiz has firsthand experience with the intensity of the Bombers and Red Sox rivalry. Hence, he thrives on the historic rivalry and enjoys seeing the Yanks struggle, a sentiment that resonates with millions of Red Sox fans.
