Dodgers' Tommy Edman Rebukes Yankees Fans for Disturbing Mookie Betts: 'Ridiculous'

Tommy Edman had no use for the two overzealous Yankees fans who literally took Game 4 into their own hands on Tuesday night.

“It looked ridiculous from my perspective,” the Dodgers shortstop said of the fans who grabbed Mookie Betts during a foul ball in the first inning of the Yankees' 11-4 Game 4 win on Tuesday night, according to The Athletic. “The guy tried to take the glove off (Betts) by pulling on his wrist, it looked like he was thrown out and I'm glad he did that. I've never seen anything like it. That was unacceptable.”

The Yankees' first at-bat on Tuesday night featured one of the more outlandish things you can see in a baseball game when Gleyber Torres lifted a foul ball over the right line that Betts caught right at the wall.

A Yankees fan – later identified as Austin Capobianco – tried to either rip Betts' glove off or at least get the ball out.

As Betts tried to wrench his arm away from the fan, another grabbed his right hand in a stunning move and the ball trickled free.

Understandably, Betts didn't like the interaction at the moment and Torres was ruled out due to fan interference, even though Betts clearly made the catch.

The two fans were sent off for their actions.

The former Red Sox star later downplayed the incident and said he was not injured in the game.

“I didn’t even know he grabbed my hand,” he said. “It’s totally fine.”

He added: “When it comes to the person and the game, it doesn’t matter. We lost. It's irrelevant. I'm fine, he's fine. Everything's cool. We lost the game, that’s kind of what I’m focused on. We need to turn the page and prepare for tomorrow.”

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts described the situation as “the fans got in the way and the umpires got it right,” while starter Ben Casparius couldn't believe what was unfolding.

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” Casparius said, according to The Athletic. “It was interesting, especially I think it was the second or third pitch or game, certainly an interesting start to the game.”

Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday night in the Bronx, with Gerrit Cole hoping to keep the Yankees' season alive when he faces Jack Flaherty in a rematch of Game 1.
