That question was way more disrespectful than the answer.
Sutter answered questions on Pelletier during the week. You know, not immediately after maybe the teams biggest win of the year. The athletic did a great piece for example. This has nothing to do with Pelletier as an individual.
The post game Q was immature bordering on a deliberate dick move, not hard hitting journalism. Does someone figure there’s a scoop coming out of that? At best you’d get Coach says rookie was ‘fine’. News at 11.
So why ask it then? The pat on the head for the rookie quote can come any time. The reporter is obviously much more interested in what he perceives as the shiny keys in the minors than the team or what happened in the game. Dude should get the last question at every pressser for a while.
