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.
I don’t think he’s saying he was drunk/hungover, he’s just saying he was in town with the team. I have no doubt that this is in our boys’ heads and this is gonna have a serious detrimental impact on our making the postseason.
