I felt obligated to ask Torey a tough question last night. I pointed out that in the past he said he didn’t ever get ejected to try to “fire up the troops” and presuming that wasn’t the case, it seemed like getting tossed while up 2-1 in the middle of a near must win game had the opposite effect on the mindset of the team. He owned up that it was a screw-up, but it was somewhat awkward and difficult for both me and for him.

I later had this Text exchange with a friend:
Me: I feel bad sometimes for the questions we have to ask.
