outfielder Julio Rodríguez said Thursday that he felt disrespected by the actions of Houston Astros relief pitcher Hector Neris in an incident that led to benches clearing in the sixth inning of a vitally important game between the two teams on Wednesday night.
"From the beginning I thought it was a joke because before today they’ve got a really good relationship," Suárez said. "And then he started talking bad words in Spanish. He tried doing something that’s not good for people who speak Spanish and know the statement. I was in the on-deck circle and heard that, and it pissed me off.
Rodríguez did not comment on what was said between the two players as the incident snowballed on Wednesday night, but he expressed his confusion over Neris' actions. "It's not something that I'm looking forward to or something that maybe will happen. I'm just going to leave it at that." he said.
