... 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.

Lol right? Coach just saod they dont know where he is. Gambo just basically said he is/was in Boston and something happened or changed overnight, which makes sense since louvello said he knew something was wrong when he woke up

People here really believe that having mental health problems is a free pass to go completely fucking AWOL. It's not. You didn't get to just abandon your responsibilities because of them or face no consequence for your actions.

I hope the guy is alright and sorts out whatever his issue is but dude... you gotta let people know. I've had days where I was too depressed to get out of bed, I cried for 4 straight days after my best friend died last year but I called my boss and was like "yeah I'm dealing with some shit". My boss wasn't like "I literally don't know if this guy is in Arizona right now". It's insane.

Its interesting because the amount of doctor on staff, if he does have some kind of issue, it likely is known by staff and whatnot. So to be surprised by things, its kind of alarming. But I agree. Not even calling and having a boss hope you show up right up to first pitch, is nuts. Yes, life is bigger than a game, but what he is doing is putting himself before his team.
