Not surprising. He’s a piece of horsefeathers.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess that this post wont age well.

There’s security cam footage out there. He’s sitting in a very crowded area and someone walks up and shoots him from behind with no warning.

How did it turn from being shot in the leg during an attempted robbery to being shot point blank in the stomach at a club/bar?

From the ESPN story. Thought this was kind of funny:

 

According to Dominican National Police Director Ney Aldrin Bautista Almonte, the gunman was captured and beaten by a crowd of people at the bar. Bautista said police are waiting until the man undergoes treatment before questioning him.

Ok way too harsh in light of him being shot and wounded, but I've always subscribed to the idea that he's a huge self-serving jerk and phony.

 

I hope he doesn't die though.

The first thing this article suggests as evidence for him being a self-serving jerk and a phony are bats flips and slow trots around the bases after hitting homeruns.

 

The rest is a bunch of pointless nonsense about how he acts with the press and then steroid stuff.

 

It's pretty easy to dismiss this trash take.

Nah, he's still a jerk and a baby. Remember the time he destroyed that bullpen phone over balls and strikes, threatening his teammates with shards and a helicoptering bat? That's who he is.

Are you going to fade into Bolivia like GR did when he similarly called David Ross names?

I didn't realize I'd get so much pushback on this! Maybe using the time he got shot isn't the best time to introduce my David Ortiz hot take. :-"

 

I don't want him to die and don't think he deserved any of this. But the only time I enjoyed David Ortiz is when he was destroying the cardinals in the world series.

MAYBE?!?

I'm not seeing the self serving jerk and phony angle, but if he was banging a drug lord's wife, I think it is safe to call him a moron

i'm surprised to see such a large minority of people who hate him. i'm .... at worst neutral at best somewhat positive about him? He was a fun dude on the field.

 

The fact that he got shot by a bunch of corrupt cops in a place that the US has helped destabilize is not a fun story though. my best wishes to him
