By the way, what happened to that official venting thread?

It's in the Designated Threads List, which is stickied at the top of this forum.

Big thanks to B19 for the upload. I'm cleaning my basement today and this+ipod will make it that much easier.

Is there a link for this interview? This is very interesting, I just want to see what Melvin actually said about Yost.

 

Yeah I'd like to see that interview too.

I caught the Doug Melvin tv interview this morning at 8:30 on the Time Warner (channel 32) sports show. Not sure how to find it again, but I do know they replay their shows usually.

I don't want to say riciculous, but its a lot... I'll be the first one to say that, but I'm not dumb, I'm not going to say no either. ... I play the game to get a ring. - (paraphrased) statement by Jason Kendall when asked if he was motivated more by winning now than by money.

 

You have to like an honest answer. It was a little after the 43 minute point in the first hour.

I have watched that interview on TWC sports ch 32. a couple times. I will agree with what molitor fan wrote. DM also said something like Yost doesn't want to hurt anyones feelings and that gets him in trouble. I can't remember the exact quote, but it was something to that extent.

Melvin said that Estrada was not regarded as a good game-caller for pitchers with marginal stuff - which to me signals Bush and Capuano, and harkens me back to the comment Estrada made about having a good relationship with the pitchers that contributed down the stretch.

I would include Suppan in the group of marginal stuff pitchers. I thought Suppan contributed down the stretch and he pitched to either Miller or Riveera for the last month and a half. Obviously he didn't pitch as well as either Gallardo or Villy.I do remember Estrada saying something about getting along with the young pitchers which I understood to mean Villy and Gallardo.

Stetter was incredibly impressive in the AFL. That is why I would be fairly confident in him as a 2nd loogy. I think he was just freaking out when he was with the Crew for that limited time. As long as he is only used against lefties, I like it. I think he would get annhilated against righties though

i missed it. anyone looking to upload it online?

Yeah, I found it on a podcast on SportsBubbler (ssshhhhh)
