Luke Weaver’s ‘I’m Close’ Remark Sparks Fan Backlash After ALDS Game 1

After Weaver allowed three runs on a hit and a walk without recording an out, he said, “I feel like I’m close… not getting hit hard.” Yankees fans pounced: “Faced six batters… retired ZERO… I’m close to losing it,” one wrote. Weaver later admitted he needs better “pitch selection and execution.” The Yankees fell behind 0-1 in the series.
