The Kansas City Royals tied their series against the New York Yankees with a 4-2 victory on Monday night, thanks to their bullpen’s stellar performance.
Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr. wasn’t too worried about the loss, saying, “It still feels the same, that we’re going to win [the series].” He believed they missed many chances and thought luck was on the Royals’ side this time.
Athletes like Chisholm are known for their confidence . It’s normal for him to think his team is still the best. After all, they left more runners stranded than the Royals did during the game.
Unpredictable Words and Reactions:
In sports, there’s something called “billboard material,” where players try not to give opponents extra motivation with bold words. Whether or not this affects how teams play is debatable. But you can bet those “got lucky” words might stir things up in the Royals’ locker room.
Fans might think Chisholm’s comments add some spice to an already exciting series as everyone waits for Game 3 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
Chisholm joined the Yankees through a summer trade from Miami Marlins and has been playing third base since then. In 46 games with New York, he hit .273/.325/.500 with 11 home runs and stole 18 bases. His homer in Game 2 was their only extra-base hit of that match.
What do you think? Will these words make a difference in how things turn out?
