Twins' Randy Dobnak Takes Yankees' Cameron Maybin's Uber Troll in Stride With Classy Response
By Thomas Carannante
We get it, guys. Minnesota Twins pitcher Randy Dobnak used to work for Uber and drive customers around as a second job. Hilarious. Couldn't think of ANYTHING funnier than that.
Nonetheless, the Game 2 jeers the New York Yankees and their fans hurled at the right-hander were all in good fun. However, going beyond that contest is perhaps trying a big too hard, and that's what Yankees outfielder Cameron Maybin decided to do.
After catching it, Dobnak took the troll in stride.

For the record, the DUI article screenshot was not included in Dobnak's response. Still, even if the Twins pitcher didn't have situational awareness regarding Maybin's past infraction, it's tough to deny the irony in all of this.
Did Maybin really need to bring this up again after the Yankees' Game 3 win that resulted in a sweep, especially after Dobnak was being such a good sport about getting eviscerated in Game 2?
If Randy Dobnak was not offended by the Uber chants at Yankee Stadium, any other person being "offended" on his behalf needs to put on their big boy/big girl panties and suck it up buttercup. pic.twitter.com/ihYBj2UBJZ

Either way, it doesn't matter. Dobnak should be laughing at all of this given his ascension over the past year, which culminated in starting an MLB playoff game.
