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.  

Here is one way to not get shot....don't sleep with a drug lords wife.

Is that the going rumor?

That's pretty stupid if true.

Should be pretty easy to trace too.

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? 

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"

by the way the ball is juiced. Phils-Dbacks last night had 13 combined home runs. on a not great night to hit.  

I want the mound raised and people tell me that it isn't necessary...
