Other Yankees’ responses:

Aaron Judge: “He needs to stay out of that and not be telling people to throw at players and injure players. That’s not what this game’s about. Not too happy hearing broadcasters talking about trying to injure or hurt players. He needs to clean that up.”

Carlos Rodón: “It’s stupid to talk about because you’re getting beat. Pitch better, This is not the pat-on-your-back league, and we’re going to be nice to you. Everyone’s coming to take the food off your table, and they’re coming to take your money. That’s how this game is played. There are no nice guys.”

Aaron Boone: “I’m an old-school baseball guy, I’ve been around doing this forever. I respect some of the unwritten rules. I really do. I think they’ve evolved and changed some. At the end of the day, I’ve got to do what’s right for my team and try not to get so caught up in what the other team’s doing. I felt like we did the right thing.”

Nice

Cowza!

When asked directly if he had anything to say to the Diamondbacks fans, he merely shook his head, no.

Marte, who was placed on the restricted list after refusing to show for any of their three games against the Boston Red Sox in Boston two weeks ago before going on the injured list with an inflamed knee, spoke for 10 minutes to about 25 media members – more than twice the normal size – before addressing his teammates.

"I’m going to stand in front of my teammates like a man,," he said. “I’m going to ask for forgiveness. We’re all human. We all commit mistakes."

When asked why he didn’t show up to the game at Fenway Park, he called it a "moment of frustration."

"I’m the type of person that when something’s going on in my life," Marte said, "I don’t like to talk about it."

When asked whether he was frustrated with his sore knee or manager Torey Lovullo, he apologized for letting Lovullo down.

"I failed him by not showing up," Marte said. "That morning, I woke up, my body was in pain, and I just couldn’t react. No one made the decision for me. I’m the one who made the decision for me to now show up."

Marte is now hoping that after addressing his teammates, he can begin to repair the damage he caused while trying to re-earn their trust.

"I understand their frustration," he said. "The most important thing right now is that I’m doing well and so my family is doing well as well. …

"I hope to become a better player and person. They know that I’m human. I’ve committed mistakes because I am human."

Even with the historic amount of deferred money, Moreno told his front office “It’s still $700 million.”

So, the Angels received nothing in return for the biggest marketing star in baseball history, let alone the most talented since perhaps Babe Ruth, watching the Dodgers win back-to-back World Series and bring in more than $1 billion in revenue

I’m thoroughly entertained despite the scoreline

If the Rockies lose or the diamondbacks, padres and marlins all win, then the Rockies will be the eliminated
