Shaw missed the 1-0 defeat of Cubs against the Cincinnati Reds Last Sunday, to attend the commemorative service in Glendale, although the manager Craig Counsell told the media that Shaw was not available for the game because he was in a funeral for a friend.
Cohen’s original comments on Shaw were raised in the fourth round, calling the decision To jump a game for the “bizarre” memorial.
“I don’t want to talk about politics about it, but the idea of leaving your team in the middle of a race for a reason other than a family emergency, seems really weird to me,” said Cohen.

The diffuser of other dishes, Todd Zeile, described the absence of Shaw “unprecedented”.
“It is unusual, I think it is unprecedented at least of my experience as a player, and I think it made a little more unusual than it was revealed only after being in question because it was supposed to be in the canoe and perhaps available, and was not, and that is how it was revealed,” said Zeile.
The comments triggered the counterposter of fans on social networks, some fans promising to boycott the team until Cohen apologizes.
Former Kirk Chief of Staff, Mikey McCoy, made Cohen shame for comments in a post on X early Thursday morning.
“A little over a month ago, Charlie’s dream came true … He had the opportunity to walk on Wrigley Field and after – See his friend Matt Shaw hit a home run.”, McCoy wrote on X.
“A month later, Charlie left and Matt Shaw receives backlands for having attended the memorial of his friend. Honest to Gary Cohen …”
Shaw explained on Tuesday why he had made a duty to attend the memorial despite the calendar of his team.
“My connection with Charlie was through our [Christian] Faith, “Shaw said before the Cubs open a new series with New York dishes on Tuesday, according to the Chicago Sun-Totes. “And this is something that motivates me every day, the reason why I am able to do what I do every day, and that’s something that I am extremely grateful.

“I know that without my faith and without the many blessings that have been given to me in my life, that I would not be here, that I could speak to you, capable of helping this team finally winning championships.
“This is something that I really feel, really blessed, so whatever the backlash is ok. I feel strong about my faith and that what had to happen.”
