Dominican Jose Valverde, Detroit Tigers is well recognized as an animated figure on top of the mound, because of the antics that made by striking out a batter.
The Tigers' closer when he gets excited enough to bulk up, but says it is not to ridicule by a show of his opponents.
"That's my game," Valverde said, adding: "I have to be on my game. Because all the time, it is usually best if you are the closer in the game. You do not know how much longer is in the game, because this is baseball. "
Arguably, it is a way to celebrate Valverde, since it is a real show. However, the narrators of the Yankees showed the Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher, murmuring in the dugout after being removed by Valverde in the ninth inning on Monday.
Swisher said Tuesday he is not bothered by the things he did Valverde.
The outfielder said he was simply frustrated by striking out. Valverde took him out of step with two "splitters" to be away from the bat. By striking, Valverde jumped off the mound and ducked around first base, where he made the sign of the cross. "That was a big out for my team," said Valverde.
At that point, Valverde said that he pays no attention to the hitters. He says that puts all their attentions on the next batter.
