” He said his charge was a little severe. We all understand he did it on purpose,” Teixeira, now an ESPN expert, said Wednesday about Chapman on The Michael Kay Show. “Because of Joe Kelly, I believed Major League Baseball would come down harder on Chapman.
” I believe this kind of gets back to why a lot of people have actually soured on MLB and the commissioners workplace,” Teixeira said. The Joe Kelly 8 video games, that kind of came out of no place. What did Boonie get, a video game?
Teixeira also didnt understand why Yanks supervisor Aaron Boone was suspended for Wednesdays game. Tampa Bay skipper Kevin Cash also was banned after stating he had “a whole damn stable of people who toss 98″ miles per hour.
Aroldis Chapman prepared to appeal his three-game suspension for zipping a 101-mph fastball behind the head of Tampa Bays Mike Brosseau, however previous Yankees colleague Mark Teixeira believes MLB must have boiled down even harder on the flame-throwing closer.
” I believe this type of returns to why a lot of people have soured on MLB and the commissioners office,” Teixeira said. “You return to the Astros scandal. There was no rhyme or reason why particular things took place there. The Joe Kelly 8 video games, that type of came out of nowhere. What did Boonie get, a game? I do not understand. Theyre simply making stuff up today.”
Mark Teixeira, Aroldis ChapmanPaul J. Bereswill; N.Y. Post: Charles Wenzelberg” But if you suspend me for one start as a starter, essentially, and you back up a start, or a couple games as a reducer and you still get paid, alright Ill do it. Ill take that bullet for the group.”
We all understand he did it on function,” Teixeira, now an ESPN analyst, said Wednesday about Chapman on The Michael Kay Show. “Because of Joe Kelly, I thought Major League Baseball would come down harder on Chapman.
” One thing that we discovered as New York Yankees is were liable after the video games and we speak to journalism.”
Kelly, a Dodgers reducer, was banned 8 games in July (later on reduced to 5) for tossing near the head of Houston third baseman Alex Bregman on the heels of the Astros sign-stealing scandal.
” This is a man who throws over 100 miles an hour and it was undoubtedly on purpose. I do not believe it was ideal and I think it ought to have been more.”
” Ive been so determined about lets make sure that we in fact have genuine penalties when you know that a person tossed at someone on purpose up high,” Teixeira stated. “If you punish a player 10-15-20 games without spend for striking somebody … Im not giving up 10 games of my paycheck to settle a beef with someone else.
Chapman didnt talk with the media following Tuesdays game, and Teixeira belittled the six-time All-Star betters alibi Wednesday that he d been handling command problems the previous night.
Brosseau, who ducked out of the method of Chapmans ninth-inning pitch, belted two house runs the following night in the Rays 5-2 win Wednesday at the Stadium.
” Lets take a look at the facts here,” Teixeira stated. “( Chapman) didnt speak to the media afterwards. I do not stare the guy down after if I had done that and it wasnt on function … First of all. You state, Hey, I am sorry. It shouldnt have actually occurred. I didnt indicate it. Apologies to Brosseau, to the Rays and its over with. However thats not what took place. He concealed.
