Another theory, and probably closer to the truth.

From Sean Macadam (CSNNE):

As Headley was tagged out at third in a close play, he stood up and waited to see if his team was going to challenge the call. Porcello, who had come over to third to back up the play, was walking back to the mound and appeared to say something that produced a reaction from Headley.

A good guess may be that Porcello suggested, in less than polite terms, that Headley should get off third base and off the field.

That's what it looked like from how YES showed it, but I didn't assume anything since they only showed Headley's reaction and not what spawned it. Now we know more about what happened...possibly.

Snob, I was in tears laughing so hard when A-Rod came up as a pinch hitter. After chanting his name for two nights, he was booed unmercifully. I was literally crying.

Another weird Sox/Yanks game...

I think we all knew he would get booed if he came up. They still boo Ellsbury.

I think they're going to do with him what they did the Clemens. They booed him when he appeared in his last game at Fenway, but as the game ended they gave him a standing ovation. The booing is part of the game. It's fun and most people don't really have ill will towards a person. At the end of the day, baseball fans will cheer when it's really well deserved, regardless of who the player is (in most cases). A-Rod is no Jeter, as far as class and respect, but he is still one of the greats.

It definitely was a weird game. That pitcher came in for Boston and...forgot where the strike zone was I guess. I was hoping they'd keep him in.

This Friday we say goodbye to the greatest Yankee ever. It will be a sad day for all Yankee fans.

Real Yankee fans are probably doing a backflip in excitement.

This game.

AZ @ BOS

Is almost comical.

It's what... 16-1? Red Sox?

Mookie has 3 HRs and Greinke was shelled.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #220 on:** August 14, 2016, 06:40:21 PM »

So...it begins. Since Stanton is probably out for the year, the Marlins are interested in A-Rod?

orcus116 · « **Reply #221 on:** August 14, 2016, 06:54:42 PM »

Where would he play, though? Marlins don't have a DH.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #222 on:** August 14, 2016, 06:59:18 PM »

I have no idea. I'm assuming third or shortstop? I'm just relaying what I read in a couple of articles.

I haven't read any articles but they would need an OF bat, not infield. I heard Carlos Gomez mentioned which makes more sense.

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #225 on:** August 14, 2016, 07:48:35 PM »

Aroid cannot play 3rd and he sure as hell can't play short. Not anymore. DH or first base for him. So for the Marlins, first, which is actually a position of need. But no way does he come close to matching Stanton's offensive production.

The nightmare scenario is Aroid going (back) to Texas to be a DH/pinch hitter for a championship contending team that just lost Prince Fielder.

I know what they need, which is why it seemed weird that they would look at A-Rod, but I don't know if these articles were just started by some rumor or if they hold any truth to them.

SchecterShredder · « **Reply #230 on:** August 15, 2016, 03:32:06 PM »

A-Rod is definitely still a long ball threat, but aside from that he's practically been a guaranteed out this year. As a Jays fan i see him a lot each season, and I'm not the least bit worried about him possibly going to another AL contender.
