Via Dan Mangan, right-hander Michael Pineda was arrested for driving under the influence in Tampa early this morning. The 23-year-old has been rehabbing from his labrum surgery down at the team’s Spring Training complex all summer.
“(He) had a fixed gaze and his eyes were bloodshot, watery and glassy … I could smell a distinct odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath, and his speech was slurred,” said the arresting officer. There’s nothing really to add here, Pineda’s an idiot and deserves whatever punishment he gets. Driving drunk is about as inexcusable as it gets.
