Curt Schilling relays some information from Red Sox players about Bobby Valentine:
“I thought that the manager that managed the Mets that I was not a big fan of was now going to be a different manager, and I don’t think there’s anything different at all,” Schilling said. “And I don’t think that that is going to be conducive to doing well here. There’s a lot of things I think that are happening not just from his perspective, but when you talk to these guys — and I’m still talking to some of these guys — I don’t think this is going well. And I think it’s going bad quicker than I expected it to.”
Curt tends to shoot from the hip, so you might want to take this with a grain of salt. Of course, in the history of the game there were plenty of manager who were disliked by their players, but still won. In any event, it will be a very interesting summer in Boston.
Hat tip, BBTF.
“… tends to shoot from the hip” = “… is a bag of hot air.” 🙂
Still, yeah, it’s going to be interesting.
The V is a God. Tell Curt to keep his head on a swivel, Benny A is flying in from Hawaii to straighten him out. If he does not show Bobby the proper respect a bloody sock will be the least of his problems.
If Bobby V starts the season with Aviles leading off as he is talking about I will fire him in my mind and lead a crusade to have him gone for real.
