Oswalt Upset With Danny Garcia
Reader Sam M points out Tom Verducci’s current column on the Sports Illustrated website in which Roy Oswalt complains about something Danny Garcia said to him during a game. Oswalt was upset because Garcia showed him no respect. Oswalt goes on to complain that if he would throw at Garcia the umps would give him a warning. The basic gist of the article is Oswalt’s lament how rookies of today, particularly hitters, have less respect than in the past.
I say Oswalt is just being a wuss. He’s probably right about younger players in general having less respect. If he feels that strongly then by all means he should throw at the guy just like pitchers of yesteryear always did. Last I checked throwing at a guy was just as illegal 25 years ago as it is today. I don’t advocate throwing at guys but since Oswalt brought it up if Garcia’s lack of respect ticked off Oswalt that much then Oswalt should take his chances and throw at him instead of complaining to a reporter. That’s what Don Drysdale would have done.
