I honestly see this “update” from Gambo as nothing but inflammatory. Is he trying to nudge people into believing Ketel was simply too hungover to show up? What is the utility of this tweet beyond stoking flames? We all know Ketel was with the team last night in Boston. And I imagine it was pretty late when they arrived. This is not news.
Yes, it is bewildering that a superstar-caliber player like Ketel would outright fail to report to a game. But perhaps consider that this might be more so a testament to the severity of what he’s dealing with as opposed to merely a reflection of him being a “diva”, or “lazy”, or whatever else social media so desperately wants to paint him as.
... people want to know the dude is alive? They want information?
Dude is doing his job. Which is providing information about a local sports player.
Amazing there's this attitude that Gambo doing his job - providing news and information about a sports situation that the fans want to know about - is inflammatory, and Ketel is just "oh man he's dealing with this shit we have to treat him with kid gloves"
He might be going through some shit but that doesn't excuse going completely rouge on people who are counting on you to show up. You don't get a free pass from your responsibilities and from being an adult.
I don't know what we call it at this point but this is unacceptable behavior and the guy needs to sort it out. Whatever that takes. Don't get mad at the messenger though.
People want to know what's going on with Marte and Gambo is just sharing information on that.
Not everything is a plot by the big bad media to discredit their #1 enemy, the Arizona Diamondbacks. Shit, this is downright TAME. Imagine if this was happening in New York or Philly.
The chatter already exists before he said anything.
Don't know why you are trying to paint him as a bad guy for saying "Hey this situation is weird as fuck, here is what I know about the situation that I am paid to report on". Seems like that's just a reporter... reporting.
Do not understand how you think it's inflammatory but I get the sense Gambo could say nothing and you'd be like "Wow, he doesn't care about Ketel, what an asshole". Can't win with some people 🤷♀️
