This would not be the first time their has been some communication problems between Manager/ Player.
Example .. Wright went from being pushed back to start , to being DL-ed, to pitching against the Tigers. To now will be more than likely to pitch against Kansas City. This stuff happens. It shouldn't ,but does. Curt Schilling was a great pitcher, but don't take anything he says as gospel. .. Things have changed from ten years ago. What you saw with pitchers like Pedro, Schilling, R.Johnson, Maddux, And all the other great ones is not going to happen. I hate it as much as you do, but it's reality. I know what Schilling said between 6 AM- 10AM. Gerry Callahan got on Erod as well. I text the morning show all the time. They never respond, I don't blame them.. I wish I could show you the texts but I can't lol.
