Fat Pitchers Newsbeat
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Mentioned this is the Chris Sale thread, but by that time the healthy eaters had taken over, and this deserves its own thread, anyway: Phillies broadcaster Rickie Ricardo told Sports Radio 94 WIP in Philadelphia on Monday morning that he delivered 100 Cuban pastries (two boxes of 50) to Chapman this weekend and when he saw the reliever in the clubhouse Sunday morning, Chapman had eaten about 18 of them. “He couldn’t breathe!” Ricardo said. “I looked at my partner, I said, ‘He’s ripe for the taking today.’”
. . .
Ricardo said the pastry has a “flaky-crust ... with cream cheese and guava and it’s baked, and it’s absolutely delicious.” “Now, if you eat more than two of these you’re clogging up your arteries—you’re a stroke waiting to happen,” he joked in the interview, saying the pastries are the “equivalent of the Krispy Kreme donuts when they come right out of the oven, it’s that kind of a thing.”
Asked about Ricardo’s story, Reds manager Dusty Baker dismissed the broadcaster’s claim that the pastries were to blame for his closer’s meltdown.
“That has nothing to do with what he did,” Baker said, according to MLB.com. “Look at him—does he look fat? I don’t pay any attention to that.
Babe Ruth would have done this, but struck out the side.
