七月底的時候,
現在紅襪的形式上的領袖Gonzalez和Pedroia代表球員跟球團的老闆和總管會面,
抱怨Valentine的調度,
還有7/22讓Lester掉了8分的調度....
雖然今年紅襪真的離季後賽越來越遠,
但是這齣球員大戰總教練的戲碼倒是越來越有趣,
難怪前幾天傳出球團老闆力挺Valentine的新聞...
坦白說啦,
Valentine跟這些球員的關係真的比不上前任的Francona,
我猜想最晚今年底,
Valentine就會走人了.......




Pedroia said, "We had a meeting. I'll be honest with everybody. We had a meeting in New York. Coaches had a meeting, Bobby had a meeting, we all had a meeting. Basically, when I spoke, I said we all need to be better. That includes owners, Bobby, coaches, and especially the players.
"I've had one problem with Bobby earlier in the year and I went into his office and I talked to him like a man, and he talked to me like a man. And we've been great. We've had a great relationship. That's all I can really say about it. I'll go out and play for him any day of the week. I'm playing for all my teammates. It's unfortunate that all this stuff comes out.
"I know we lost last year and we made huge signings and all kinds of stuff, but we're trying to play the game the right way and have an organization that does things right, and just play winning baseball. It's tough when all this stuff comes out, that everyone's trying to get the manager fired. That's not the case, man. I've never met the guy that wrote the story.
"I don't think Bobby should be fired. Listen, we haven't played well. I mean, that's the bottom line. I'm not going to blame anything on Bobby, and I don't think anyone else is. It's on the players. Last year wasn't on Tito. I know he took it hard. We all did. I mean, geez. It's on the players. (WEEI.com)
