There is video and there wasn't any burglary.  Dude on the motorcycle came up on his backside and shot him in the back execution style.

That's friggin messed up.

Some locals caught the guy and tuned him up good.  He is in the hospital getting treated for wounds suffered by the locals, good for them.

I've never heard of Ortiz being in trouble off the field so this is a shock.

What is wrong w people?

According to the AP it happened in a bar.  Misinformation all around. 

The DR has had a really tough few weeks.  There have been American tourists dying in hotels, being kidnapped, etc.  It was turning into a real vacation hotspot, but that's changing.  I had actually thought about taking my family down there this summer, but scrapped it after a few of the issues.  It's only worsened since then.

be well Big Papi.   seems like a great dude so don't understand this.  hopefully he has no long term issues but can never be sure when there is trauma to internal organs.  right now seems like he will be ok.

That's pretty stupid if true.

Should be pretty easy to trace too.

His camp is obviously denying it.  The link I saw it at and the original source.

WOW!

Think we need to pump the breaks and wait until the official report comes out? (I haven't heard one yet)

Remember first report was he was shot in the leg?

Yeah, I haven't followed it all that much.  News was coming out about it as I was going to sleep and had a busy day today, but I do think I remember seeing it was his leg originally.  Also that it was a robbery, which it wasn't.

Glad he is ok and hope he has a full and fast recovery.  I don’t care what the story or reason or motive is, you should not have to walk the earth in fear of being shot.

NY Post is running the drug lord story too.

Again though, they caught the guy and he is gonna talk so they will get whomever is the head of this.

Pappi is a God down there.

Another of baseball's classic unwritten rules!

This confrontation was hysterical.

Muncy says "if you don't want me to stare at it then go get it out of the ocean for me"

I used to like Bumgarner.  Now all he does is cry when people take him yard.
