Why is sabathia fat

But it was funny, I laughed. I can't go back and forth with him. It is what it is. What bothered Sabathia was Nunez, a former Yankees teammate, bunting his third pitch of Thursday night's game, a Yankees win.

The bunt wasn't a good one and rolled between home plate and the mound. Sabathia came off the mound and fielded the ball, then threw wide right to first, pulling first baseman Greg Bird off the bag. The error didn't lead to Boston scoring in the first, but it ignited a bases-loaded, one-out jam that Sabathia pitched out of by striking out Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers.

Sabathia wound up allowing just one run over six innings and earning a win to improve to with a 3. After the game, Sabathia told reporters, "I think they think I'm a bigger guy and I can't field my position.

I'm an old man, so they should go out and want to kick my butt. I just feel like they tried to take the weak road. A day later, Sabathia explained why he was so upset.

It doesn't matter who's bunting or who I'm playing. I get pissed when people bunt, period. After 11 years as an innings eater known for getting stronger as the game and season went on, Sabathia needed just one August outing in Minnesota last season to realize he was carrying too much weight.

In the previous decade, just 61 hurlers cracked the mark. In the s, only 11 pitchers weighed that much. Royals closer Jonathan Broxton, for instance, is a pounder and a two-time All-Star and could be the most sought-after reliever at the trade deadline. As for starters, Carlos Zambrano and Bartolo Colon have been, like Sabathia, rotation regulars. Others, like Jordan Montgomery and Gary Sanchez , appear to be a little pudgy. Sabathia is fat.

Too many of us are fat. The Journal of American Medicine reports that in this dear country of ours, more than one-third Sorry, I mean obese. JAMA goes on to cite some statistics nobody wants to read:. The difference, for example, between Sabathia and someone like myself, though, is that he makes his living as an athlete on a ballfield, while I make mine sitting at a desk helping inmates get a high school diploma.

I need only to pick up a pen I dropped. My colleague, Mike Calendrillo, wrote a piece yesterday detailing and commenting on the exchange between Eduardo Nunez, a little guy who plays for the Red Sox, and Sabathia about bunting on a fat guy.

At one point, I thought I was watching a Jerry Lewis Telethon until I realized, on two levels, this is serious stuff here. And even then, the weight usually comes right back. My weight, as another example, just recently zoomed out of control due to the retention of water by my body. What can you do? What I do not have is a lot of fat. I usually have my body fat percentage at 6 or 7 percent.

My trainer says that is very good.
