In a rivalry-fueled mic drop moment that encapsulated the bad blood between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, Cam Schlittler \u2014 A Boston native \u2014 delivered a post-victory shot straight to the heart of Red Sox Nation.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old pitcher, who grew up idolizing the team he just ousted from the playoffs, quipped without remorse after his game-sealing victory on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fireside Yankees (@FiresideYankees) October 3, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cI\u2019m happy that their season\u2019s done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Schlittler\u2019s words, laced with gleeful schadenfreude, capped a historic Game 3 performance that propelled the New York Yankees into the ALDS.<\/p>\n
The Wild Card Series had all the makings of October legend: The Red Sox took a one-game lead with a 3-1 victory before the Yankees stormed back with a thrilling, 4-3, Game 2 win. In the rubber game, Schlittler dazzled, becoming the first pitcher in postseason history to record eight-plus innings of no-run ball with 12-plus strikeouts and no walks.<\/p>\n
The postgame interview with Meredith Marakovits amplified the personal stakes.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve been a Red Sox fan when you grew up, and then now all your friends back home are Red Sox fans. Have you heard from them at all?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n
Schlittler, still buzzing from the adrenaline, fired back: \u201cI mean, I haven\u2019t said anything yet. But yeah, we\u2019ll make sure they hear it a little bit once I get back on it.\u201d<\/p>\n
After being passed over by his hometown Red Sox in the 2022 MLB Draft, this full-circle revenge tale adds spice to a feud defined by curses and comebacks. As New York gears up for the ALDS, Schlittler\u2019s shot heard \u2019round the suburbs ensures the banter won\u2019t end here.<\/p>\n
