Kind of feels like a grade A setup of contreras, which is why I intentionally withdrew my like on A700 hitters post (no offense to A700). We know Contreras had a hot-head rep even before coming here. So he has that working against him. He has ejection in prior night working against him (which also appears dubious btw).
And Cavatalli pasta or whatever, is playing the "we're both competitors and words were said. I think he only reacted like that because of whats going on in Venezuela" card (note the intentional omission of the specific words that were said). Fox News in their headline, left out the word "boy" in their headline. Contreras ejected after reacting for being told to sit down.
A devastating earthquake in Venezuela, add that to the list of things currently being weaponized against Contreras. I get how this looks like an emotional player , having an emotional reaction, when he has something else going on (the grief over the earthquake).
But this all smells very gross. And my wish is not that Contreras didnt calm down , and Im not mad at him for "not staying in the game for his teammates". Im just mad he didnt get to land any real punches at Cavatalli.
