The article contains examples of both political and religious bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes the opposing team's fans by saying 'Big leaguers don't miss by eight feet'.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the benches cleared after Milwaukee's Rhys Hoskins slid hard into second baseman Jeff McNeil and took exception to it. However, this statement is misleading because no punches were thrown during the incident. The slide was ruled legal by umpires which means there was nothing wrong with it according to the rules of baseball. Secondly, when Mets pitcher Yohan Ramirez threw a fastball up and behind Hoskins in his first pitch, Hoskins yelled towards McNeil as if he had thrown him intentionally. This is deceptive because there was no evidence that McNeil did anything wrong during the incident on Friday. Lastly, the article states that Mets announcer Ron Darling criticized Ramirez's pitch and said it was late, but this statement is also misleading as there were no indications of any delay in the game or any other issues with timing.
