'Fuck You, Bitch': The Angels Drafted Christian Moore and Chris Cortez, Who Were Not Exactly Friendly at the College World Series
The Angels must be big believers in team chemistry, because their first and second round MLB Draft picks are definitely familiar with one another.
No. 8 overall pick Christian Moore did not take too kindly to being walked by his new teammate Chris Cortez in the fourth inning of Game 2 of the College World Series finals. Moore's walk loaded the bases with two outs and the Vols down 1-0, but fellow first round pick Blake Burke grounded out to second to end the inning. Moore wanted to swing the bat with men on base, so getting walked led to his frustrations boiling over as he headed to first base.
That reaction from Moore is definitely not one the baseball purists want to see, but he's one of the most competitive baseball players you're ever going to find and obviously wanted his chance to do damage in the biggest spot of the season up to that point. He got his wish the next day, though.
I think it's awesome that these guys are teammates now. How cool would it be if they became an awesome pitching and hitting duo in the big leagues? They got drafted by the Angels, so I'm pretty positive that's not going to happen, but it would be fun if it did!
Whatever rookie ball team these guys end up on needs to do a recreation of this incident immediately for social media. Maybe even a bobblehead night.
