It was a joke. I dont believe it was literally about the fact he comes from the Dominican versus Puerto Rico vs Texas vs Canada. I was just making a joke about its annoying to hear it from an Orioles player because like essentially all teams in the MLB, they also play the bullshit lets try to injure position players using our pitchers game. Even the Jays do it sometimes which I find extremely embarassing. In fact, I wonder if there is a single team in the MLB that has not done a retaliatory HPB (or thrown-behind threat) in the past five years.

I can't stand the poo poo. It's more of that unwritten rulebook of baseball that ruins the whole drat game. poo poo, Rangers fans rallied around Odor punching Bautista, and that was kinda cool I admit, but the antics it took to get there annoyed the poo poo out of me.

You can hate another player without throwing 100 mph weapons at their body, or sliding into their knee. At that point it's less a game and more a slightly more civilized bit of UFC, and gently caress that nonsense.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: fans are all stupid and will cheer on anything their team does, right or wrong. It's on the teams and the league to get this kind of tomfoolery out of the game for good.

I maintain that 2011 will probably be the story I tell my grandkids about.
