Brown Punches Wall
September 5, 2004
He punched a wall in frustration and broke his hand. He’ll need surgery, he’ll be out at least three weeks. We’ll see about the postseason.
Although I can understand the frustration, it was a stupid thing to do and it will hurt us because we were counting on him. That said, I’m not going to go as harshly as Alex did. Although I understand his feelings. It is frustrating.
No one wants to put their teammates in a tough spot and if he’s still out there – I believe he wants to pitch. It was a mistake, a stupid mistake and he’s paying for it. Worse than any fine is the embarassment and failing of responsibility to your teammates.
I’d like to see him back and maybe he’ll be motivated by those feelings I mentioned a second ago. I think it would be a mistake to cut him loose knowing what I know right now.
