Len Woods Tears Into Ben Zobrist After All-Star Snub

LOS ANGELES — The final all-star rosters were released earlier today, and it arose numerous questions from fans that were sure certain players from both sides were a lock. Dodgers’ closer Len Woods was shocked when he found out that he wouldn’t be heading to Tampa along with Wally Montana and Mo’ne Davis, and he ripped into Padres’ manager Ben Zobrist after the Dodgers’ 6-3 loss.

“I don’t understand, I have the better stats when it comes to closers in the league,” Woods said, “He always states he bases his decision for the All-Star Game on stats, but he has his boy Issac Humber there. He has Bradley Yard in there. But sure, lie and say it’s based on stats. If it’s about the rivalry, say it’s about the rivalry. Don’t sit there and b***s**t on the season I’ve had so far.”

While relatively quiet over the past year and a half, or at least quieter than the storyline in the previous two years, the Dodgers-Padres rivalry continues to be as nasty as can be. It has been reported that now dismissed manager Alex Rodriguez had asked Dodger pitching to hit Padres hitters whenever they felt the situation was right, but his pitching staff refused to do so. With this, it seems like someone’s going to intensify the rivalry again when the two teams square off again in September.
