A. If he did get chewed out, I would chew him out because I'm the manager.
B. He's struck out 6 times this season, and none in the first 6 games.
C. It's not like anyone's ever gotten a hit in every game...

I said I apologized AFTER I chewed him out. Too much stress.

Notes, quotes

•Hamilton broke a 15-game hitting streak. He would have batted first in the 9th inning.
•Kottaras' start was merely "a scheduled day off" for Martin, according to manager Mikey Roberts.
•The trade with St. Louis, which would have sent pitcher Yovani Gallardo, infielder Omar Quintanilla, and almost 17 million dollars to the Cards for Hanley Ramirez, was declined. Another trade has been sent to Seattle.

I still think you're getting ahead of yourself with these trades...

Martin's mad that after doing something good in pinch hitting, his next game sucks.

Notes, quotes

And there goes the streak again for Kemp...
Verlander will more than likely get the AL Cy Young if he continues to pitch this way.

Martin's happy for getting another HR.
