He was weird. Wanted to fight with everyone, even though most of the people on the field were bigger than him. I watched that game with Trout. Trout was standing on first base looking confused while Ventura challenged him, if Trout had hit him, they would have had to postpone the game to pick up the pieces.
Ventura struck me as the kind of kid that only had one gear . . . and the needle was stuck in the red. As ‘they’ say, live hard - die hard.
Yordano was dangerous. He viewed the ball as a weapon to retaliate against perceived slights to his ego.
Eventually he was going to seriously injure someone.
