Putz on the Mariners - 美國職棒

Larry Stone is awesome.

在訪問了Putz之後，他馬上去電訪前manager Jim Riggleman做不同觀點的報導
這是最重要的一段
“It was overblown a little bit. It wasn’t as bad as people say. I got some
of the guys I felt were critical in my office. I said, ‘You know what? You’
re accusing a man of being selfish. Sit down and have a cup of coffee with
him. Talk to him. Don’t say it to a writer.Talk to him man-to-man, express
yourself to him over a cup of coffee. It’s not about taking a swing at
somebody, or griping to writers. If you think he’s selfish…he’s not in
here saying to me you’re selfish, but you’re not even watching the game
when you’re not pitching. He could come in here and say you’re selfish.’

Silva, I see he came in 30 pounds lighter. He must have gone home and said, ‘
Hey, I’ve got to stop bitching about Ichiro and get my ass in gear here.’

Riggleman還是和去年處理這類問題時一樣展現出絕妙的智慧
點出這種事情不應該先去和記者放砲，而是直接去跟當事人講
另外也隱隱點出放炮的就是那些沒在投球時不用到球場的傢伙

以下是放炮者之一的自婊
來源是剛收掉的Seattle PI Mariners主筆John Hickey
“You don’t pay a guy $9 million to pitch middle relief,” he said Sunday,
aware that he’s the second highest-paid pitcher on the team. “Well, maybe
the Yankees do. My concern is to stay healthy and help the team and we will
find some neutral ground.”

“I know we have kids here who have to pitch,” he said. “But if I don’t
pitch here next year, I’m going to pitch somewhere. So I need numbers
(either wins or saves). So for me, I’ve either got to close or to start.”

去年拿9M，然後季中從先發被趕到中繼的傢伙，大家心裡有數吧
他說他的投球數字比球隊戰績重要科科

有沒有注意到放炮的都是哪些傢伙?
Jarrod Washburn 10.75M
Carlos Silva 12M
Miguel Batista 9M
JJ Putz 9M

Bavasi還真是簽了一票挺有'貢獻'的veteran picther (#‵′)凸
