Why any pitcher throws a strike to Story is beyond me. Just keep it a foot outside and he will wave at it. But good AB regardless. (followed by two atrocious ones).
He seemed to hit a low, when he got into it with fans and VERDUGO of all people was the one to go out and calm him down. Same season he failed to chase the ball he misjudged, right? Tough time. Can't help but think of Donnie Moore.
Yes, but pro sports do not make any money directly from gambling, right? Gambling only 'increases interest' which in turn generates revenue. Is there any way to calculate what that is?
What is the evidence for 'pouting'? More translations of statements analyzed by people who do not speak the language? Anyway, RS have now successfully turned Devers into a bad player. Nice job. He was once one of the best in the league.
'You won't do it? ' He said no. So now we require a study of his mental state to know what the 'no' referred to : the first clause? or the second? and what does a double-negative mean in Spanish perhaps?
Let it go. Dragging this out is a pretty good way of assuring that we don't hear from him again.
Not sure he would. Why would he expect anyone to allow themselves to be 'set right' in a language they clearly do not understand? He never said anything the least bit controversial. But oh well, at least it's over, and the season is about to start.

Gosh, what a surprise! Seems like the uproar was pretty much manufactured by native English speakers who didn't bother to consider what he actually said or meant.
