During the New York Yankees broadcast on Tuesday, May 15, the keys to victory were presented in a manner that left Carlos Rodon’s wife, Ashley, in stitches. The Yes Network crew listed the essential elements as “The D, Little Things, Rodon,” a combination of abbreviations and terms that Ashley found both ironic and amusing.

In her social media post, which had garnered over 700 likes at the time of writing, Ashley playfully questioned the choice of abbreviation, saying, “I mean… couldn’t type out defense.” She accompanied her comment with several emojis to express her laughter and the hilarity she found in the broadcast’s presentation.

The keys to victory, as outlined by the broadcast, were to excel in defense, execute the fundamentals effectively, and receive a strong performance from starting pitcher Carlos Rodon.
