雖然看起來很故意，雖然Dempster事後表示他只是控球沒控好，絕非故意，
但似乎案情不單純....
Before you laud Ryan Dempster as The Defender of the Non-PED Users …

The narrative after last night’s crazy Red Sox-Yankees game is probably
going to center on Ryan Dempster hitting Alex Rodriguez with a pitch and all
of the drama which surrounded it. That narrative is also likely to include a
heavy dose of people excusing Dempster for throwing at A-Rod because A-Rod is
evil and Dempster was standing up for those who don’t cheat, snitch and all
of that stuff.
Before you hop on that train, however, check out these tweets from hockey
journalist Wane Scanlan, which were highlighted in Dave Brown’s post over at
Big League Stew:
Met Ryan Dempster in Detroit. Said he had an issue with A-Rod and would
drill him first chance he got. Man of his word. #soxyanks

A-Rod snubbed Dempster at a public event. Dempster was not impressed.

Maybe it’s easy to hate A-Rod, but it would seem that Dempster already had a
beef with A-Rod and it wasn’t about anything as high-minded as professional
integrity.
Whatever animated Dempster, it was still pretty stupid. Even if you hate
A-Rod for all of the best reasons on the planet, putting him on in that
situation and giving what has been a listless Yankees team of late some
baserunners and some motivation was dumb. And, as we’ve said several times
around these parts, throwing at batters is dumb as a general rule. If it was
about some petty personal snub it was triply dumb.
=====================
根據某記者轉述，Dempster會砸A-Rod很可能是因為之前的私人過節，
而非什麼看似崇高的原因。

※ 引述《scimonster (紫色的初夏)》之銘言：
: A-Rod 被判禁賽，現正上訴中，所以還可以繼續在場上比賽
: 許多球員，其中不乏大牌明星，對此表示不滿、不公平
: 從上訴至今，A-Rod 已經進行12場比賽
: Ryan Dempster 是第一位明顯故意對 A-Rod 投觸身球的投手，藉此表示他的不滿
: 請問各位版友，這樣的行為合理嗎？
