When Ryan Dempster hit Alex Rodriguez with a 3-zero pitch in the second inning Sunday evening — after missing several times — many assumed he was upholding the honour of those that (supposedly) don’t use performance-enhancing medication in Main League Baseball. Along with these gamers who don’t tattle on others who do (reportedly). Anyone who is not A-Rod, in other words.
After the sport, all Dempster would say was that he was trying to pitch inside.
No matter, Dempster’s motives may need been unrelated to A-Rod’s PED misadventures. A Canadian journalist
who lately talked to Dempster stated on Twitter
of his countryman:
So, Dempster hitting A-Rod, which cleared both benches and preceded the ejection of Yankees supervisor Joe Girardi, was done for the greater good. Dempster clearly took challenge with A-Rod reportedly snitchin’. Or was it just for cheatin’? Maybe he does have an issue with A-Rod’s PED backstory, however that’s not what Dempster told Wayne Scanlan:
That’s it? THAT’S why Dempster hit A-Rod? Because of a private snub! Not because of steroids, or throwing colleagues under the bus, or appearing bigger than the sport, or for the children?! Oh, who will consider the youngsters!
Not solely that, however Dempster put A-Rod on base, on function, and he got here round to attain a run.
In the sixth, with Dempster still pitching and nursing a three-run lead, A-Rod came to bat for a 3rd time and hit a home run that started a four-run Yankees rally. New York ended up beating Boston 9-6.
To top it off, as he circled the bases, A-Rod appeared to be screaming obscenities — either at the Crimson Sox, or at his own bench to pump them up. Rodriguez put a cherry on top of the cake by showing to do a David Ortiz-like celebratory routine at house plate.
He certain is aware of easy methods to needle.. folks. What an amusing, frustrating and disgusting evening at Fenway Park, relying on your viewpoint.
