Justin Verlander's brother, Ben Verlander, completely understands New York Yankees pitcher Fernando Cruz's hyped up celebration during the 4-3 win against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday to level the wildcard series.After Carlos Rodon departed, the reliever entered a high-pressure situation with the game tied at 3-3 in the top of the seventh inning, with the bases loaded and no outs. Cruz induced a flyout to center field, escaping the jam and maintaining the tie. He erupted in a hyped up celebration, which drew negative reactions from some fans.Addressing them, Ben came out in support of Cruz, writing:"See a lot of people laughing at Cruz for being this fired up getting out of that 7th inning because of the hard hit final out. He came in with 1st+2nd nobody out in the 7th inning of a playoff game and got out of it Kick rocks if his emotion bothers you."Under the comments section, Jason Stewart gave a different perspective and wrote:"I prefer the good ole days when a middle reliever, who just missed with a pitch and gave up a scorcher to the warning track, would show some humility, thank the stars for how lucky he just got, and walk with his head down into the dugout."Jason Stewart @JasonStewartLINK@BenVerlander I prefer the good ole days when a middle reliever, who just missed with a pitch and gave up a scorcher to the warning track, would show some humility, thank the stars for how lucky he just got, and walk with his head down into the dugout.However, Verlander hit back, saying:"Fortunately we’re long past those days"Ben Verlander @BenVerlanderLINK@JasonStewart Fortunately we’re long past those daysEven Yankees manager Aaron Judge gave his opinion on the reaction by Cruz:"There's a passion that he does his job with and it spilled over a bit tonight.
