If I’m Tony Vitello I’m looking at Kent and the other freshmen saying come on over plus Cortez and the other reliever. I’m pretty sure he told his team Saturday cause you can tell Sunday something was off they was arguing with umps and then acting after the game like they lost all hope and if he did that pretty shitty to leave right after your team loses not even 24hrs later and wanna call the reporter out when u know u was leaving.
