"Schlittler acknowledged that his past postseason success against Boston - as well as his willingness to troll Red Sox fans online - has led to some harsh rebukes."
""Most normal fans could care less, right?," Schlittler told Sherman. "It's just those diehards that just have nothing else in their lives other than baseball or sports that really care about this and the fact that I play for the Yankees makes it worse for them.""
""It's gonna be bad, it's gonna be bad. I'm not nervous about it. But it's gonna be loud," Schlittler told Sherman. "They're gonna probably have dudes that are my age or a little bit younger, sitting right outside the [visiting] bullpen, yelling whatever, probably throwing stuff at me, trying to grab me.""
