The recruit of the Chicago Cubs, Matt Shaw, let his bat was talking on Wednesday after being criticized from New York Mets broadcasters for having attended the commemorative service of Charlie Kirk.
Shaw was 3-in-4 with a solo home run and scored three times in the 10-3 rout of Chicago in New York. He helped put the dishes in a perilous position in the generic classification of the National League. New York is only a lead in a match on Cincinnati Reds for the last place with only four games to play in the regular season.

The third basic player did not seem to talk to journalists after the match. The Cubs-Mets match was broadcast on ESPN, which meant that Gary Cohen and Todd Zeile, who work for Sny, had the night of leave.
Cohen described Shaw’s decision to leave the team to attend Kirk funeral at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, “bizarre” Sunday.
“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.

Shaw and Kirk were friends and the 31-year-old conservative infector, who was murdered during an event at the University of Utah Valley earlier this month, was a fan of Cubs.
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, “said that before the Cubs, opened a new series with New York dishes on Tuesday, according to the Sun-Totes Chicago.” And this is something that leads me every day, the reason why I am able to do what I do every day, and this is 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.”
