Josh Donaldson, who served as the designated hitter, walked in his first plate appearance but was booed after all three of his next at-bats, two pop-ups and a groundout.
Aaron Hicks wasn’t the only player booed at Yankee Stadium on Monday.6-3 win over BaltimoreDonaldson, who served as the DH, walked in his first plate appearance, but was booed after all three of his next at-bats, two pop-ups and a groundout.The slumping Donaldson left the Yankees’ last homestand in an 0-for-14 funk — including going hitless in 11 at-bats in three games in The Bronx.
“If you dig a little bit — it’s not always a popular thing because the numbers are what they are and he’s struggled in that regard — he’s hit a lot of balls hard in 70 at-bats or so,’’ Aaron Boone said prior to the game.The manager said a few more hits dropping might have changed the narrative on Donaldson, who has still displayed power this season.But that’s not what’s happened with Donaldson, who entered Monday hitting a miniscule .136 with an on-base percentage of just .191.
“I understand all that comes around him, and he’s got to hit at a much better clip,’’ Boone said. “We all understand that. I hope the hits start to fall and he builds some momentum.”“He’s confident in his ability, but he’s also human and wants it to happen,’’ Boone said. “With the caliber of player he is, struggling to get going, results matter, too.”
