In his interview with Deportes, Padilla didnt back off his comments, which are demeaning to women athletes.
“We are all men here playing baseball,” Padilla said. “We dont need no women playing baseball.”
“I hope this is the last time I have to talk about it. The fact of the matter is certain things happen in this game. Hitters dont have the same power that pitchers do. Pitchers can do those kind of things hit batters. Hitters just have to take it. The only other thing I could do is charge the mound, like teammate Nick Swisher.”– Mark Teixeira, responding to Vicente Padilla
Padilla added, “He is always crying and complaining. If he has a base hit, he cries, if he doesnt, he cries. I just meant that not even women complain as much as him.”
