"I get it - it's part of the game,"
"I think I was just kind of disappointed in the fact that being from that area, I wasn't really expecting it to go that far. They're just trying to get under your skin. But I thought they crossed the line a little bit. At the end of the day, there's not much they can say now . . . I think they learned their lesson."
Cam Schlittler delivered a Wild Card Series Game 3 performance that eliminated the hometown Red Sox. Red Sox fans launched social-media attacks targeting his mother, Christine, which deeply disappointed him given his Massachusetts roots and Northeastern background. Schlittler accepts that criticism and insults aimed at him are part of the game, but he views attacks on family as crossing a line. Blue Jays fans are warned not to harass Schlittler or his family during the Division Series, and fans are advised to avoid social media provocations while the postseason unfolds.
