(Mark DeRosa, manager du WBC USA) à propos de l’incident de poignée de main d’Arozarena/Raleigh : « Quand cela s’est produit, nous étions comme… Oof… OK. »
Mark DeRosa a précisé qu’aucune limite de fraternisation n’était imposée à l’équipe américaine et que Cal Raleigh avait agi de son propre chef en ne serrant pas la main de Randy Arozarena.
Arozarena had beef with Yandy Diaz on the Rays too.
Not sure he can be blamed for this though, I’d be pissed too if someone snubbed my handshake. It’s a pretty disrespectful thing to do. But they’re grown men, they’ll work it out.
He discussed several interesting topics from overcoming pitching constraints, why he left Matthew Boyd in to face Jaren Durran, determining if Aaron Judge will get any in-game rest (he won’t) and looking ahead to the Quarterfinals.
This clip provides a little more context to the Randy Arozarena/Cal Raleigh topic, but leaves me with more questions. Are Arozarena and Raleigh really beefing?

I’m surprised Team USA let DeRosa manage again. If you can’t win as Team USA, you probably don’t deserve a second chance to manage.

Cal needs to respond to this. If they did have a discussion beforehand where he said he wouldn’t shake his hand as opponents then fine. But if they didn’t and he just blew off a teammate like that, then he needs to apologize to Randy.

Lmao my guy took a big dump on the vibes
qwerty_dh
Yeah that was so weird. Cal is the kind of guy I never think about. He’s just… boring? To be an asshole out of the blue was a surprise to me. Still an asshole, though.

I thought this Cal Raleigh guy was a stand up dude. I hate the Mariners now

If Cal didn’t want to be approached he shouldn’t have been wearing those tight pants that leave so little to the imagination. He’s asking for attention from men and shouldn’t be surprised when he gets it.

This whole thing makes me think Cal Raleigh is Dani Rojas and Randy Arozarena is Zoreaux. Hopefully neither of them ends up with a broken nose.

I honestly thought it was just good-natured banter where Raleigh was fucking with him but Arozarena’s response after surprised me…. didn’t realize it was that serious

Cal Raleigh is embarrassing.

For M’s fans’ sake, I hope this gets cleared up ASAP. It seems so out of character for Cal that I gotta think this is just a massive miscommunication.

A whole lot of people are being incredibly weird and reactionary about this

Gonna need Raleigh to say something on this at some point, no?

He watched the Redeem Team doc when Kobe ran through Pau and decided to do the same

I hate how DeRosa covers speculatively for Raleigh thus implying Arozarena is wrong for still offering a handshake. Let Raleigh face the music himself and explain things
