"I hate it, it was a terrible conversation" Former LG pitcher's sorrow, released immediately after winning... Manager also expresses strong emotions

Eliezer Hernandez, a 31-year-old pitcher formerly with the LG Twins, experienced a bittersweet moment in his Major League Baseball comeback. After securing a win for the Atlanta Braves' Triple-A affiliate, the Gwinnett Stripers, Hernandez was immediately designated for assignment (DFA), effectively placing him on waivers and potentially leading to his release.

The pitcher voiced his deep frustration with the situation, lamenting, "I hate it so much. I wish the rules would change." This emotional outburst highlights the precarious nature of professional baseball careers, where a single victory can be overshadowed by organizational decisions.

Hernandez, who had signed a minor league contract with the Braves this year, had been seeking to re-establish himself in MLB after a four-year absence. His recent win was a significant milestone, making the subsequent DFA particularly jarring. The decision by the Braves organization underscores the tough business side of baseball, where player performance is weighed against roster needs and future plans.
