Ron Darling called out Joey Estes for showing up a teammate. Estes says he would never.
The Oakland Athletics and New York Mets split a doubleheader at Citi Field on Wednesday. During the late game A's starting pitcher Joey Estes gave up seven hits and three runs in 5.1 innings of work. During the second inning Mark Vientos doubled home a run on a rocket that third baseman Darrell Hernaiz couldn't handle.
As Jesse Winkler rounded third and headed home Estes threw up his arms in frustration. A few minutes later a frustrated Estes walked past Hernaiz in the dugout. This was not missed by the SNY booth. As the next inning started Estes was called out by Ron Darling for showing up his teammates. "One thing I could not stand as a player and I can't stand in the booth is showing up your infielders""One thing I could not stand as a player," said Darling. "And I can't stand in the booth. Is one showing up your infielders. Everyone is trying to make a play. There's not one person in the history of the game that tried to make an error.
"And I would never show up any of my boys on this team," Estes continued. "And for people to think that and not know who I am as a person just kind of sucks, but yeah. Darrell's been my boy. I went through the minor leagues with him. I'd never do that to him. And I'd never do that to any of my teammates here. I just want to clear that and get the right thing out there 'cuz the wrong narrative is out there.".
