Carlos Rodón's wife Ashley trolls Yankees broadcast over clear NSFW hints

Of all the "impossible-to-dispel" aggrieved Yankees narratives this offseason, "Carlos Rodón just sucks now" might've been the most annoying to rebut.

Want to explain to a frustrated Yankee fan that 2022 was, in fact, not that long ago? Want to communicate that, while no one can be certain how long an injury might linger, and a certain degree of skepticism is valid, there was a clear and obvious reason for the left-hander's struggles last season? Sorry. They're not listening. They'd rather be exhausting, turning their back to a breath of fresh air and putting on a sweatshirt instead.

Luckily, Rodón's left arm has done the talking for us thus far in 2024, making mid-March and some spring training dingers feel like a different lifetime. His latest masterwork came on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Twins, when he shook off a leadoff homer and sharp Carlos Correa single to get out of the first inning with just one run allowed. Then, he went to work, using nasty work and some vicious changeups to get through six innings otherwise unscathed against the AL's hottest team.

Cheering him along the whole time -- from home -- was his wife Ashley, and though she probably would've rather been in the ballpark, at least her vantage point got her a peek at a YES Network broadcast she otherwise wouldn't have seen.

Carlos, after the game, credited the defense behind him, stating, “I’ve got to give it up to my teammates for really good defense out there today. There were some hard balls hit and they made a lot of plays, and we scored some runs and we won the game, and that’s what’s important.”

That aligns with YES' pregame prediction, though they used an ... unnecessary abbreviation to note it.

Carlos Rodón's wife Ashley knew exactly what the YES Network meant about Yankees starter

Wait, "The D" and "Little Things"? Not fair to put Rodón in an early hole there.

Luckily, the actual game went better than the keys to the game would've had you believe. This one in chilly Minny went down as another highlight in Rodón's 2024 start, and despite the cold temperatures, he didn't shrink away from the spotlight.

Sorry. Really sorry. That paragraph was my audition for a YES Network job. Did I ... get it in?
