Last season, he was involved in a humorous incident. He was involved in a benches-clearing incident with the White Sox in 2015, and he was apparently a little worried there’d be more bad blood a year later. He was looking down while on the mound when his catcher ran up to have a word. He caught the movement out of the corner of his eye and kind of flinched back into a defensive stance, fearing he was being charged. Everyone had a good laugh about it and I think it ended the tension. I kind of didn’t like the guy until that moment.
Yeah, I saw that game. That was hysterical. He was a good kid though, and he definitely made the game fun to watch.
