What happened

Ray starter Drew Rasmussen appeared to feel bad about losing his cool at the Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm.

Why it matters

Rasmussen turned and yelled at Chisholm, who was on second after smacking a double, for not so subtly relaying pitches or where the catcher was setting up to Randal Grichuk during the second inning at Tropicana Field on Sunday.

Common ground

In fact, tipping off pitch locations from second base has become an accepted form of gamesmanship in baseball.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
