[QUOTE="Mr. Tibbs, post: 2048696, member: 748856"] of course ND's new AD Pete Bevaqua is going to say that whenever I see that name, I think of Tommy LaSorda [SIZE=3]A reporter asked Lasorda about Bevacqua’s accusation that the pitch was intentional. His answer, courtesy of [URL='https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/padres/story/2020-06-30/padres-history-june-30-kurt-bevacqua-dodgers-tommy-lasorda']the San Diego Union-Tribune[/URL], was more vintage Lasorda. “I’ll tell you what I think about it. I think that is very, very bad for that man to make an accusation like that. That is terrible,” he started. “I have never, ever, since I managed, ever told a pitcher to throw at anybody, nor will I ever. And if I ever did, I certainly wouldn’t make him throw at a (expletive) .130 hitter like Lefebvre or (expletive) Bevacqua, who couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a (expletive) boat. “And I guaran-(expletive)-tee you this.

He’s an (expletive) (expletive) big mouth, I’ll tell you that.”[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
