As I stated in another thread...

…this video is absolutely worth watching. Hearing the words coming out of the player’s mouth and seeing his facial expressions makes a big difference in interpreting what he says.

It does make a big difference

Rarely do you get this view of MLB players. I cant say enough how much I enjoy his interviews.

Excellent interview....

Open, honest, and direct. I get a better sense of Carlos after that interview.

Rec’d.

Um....

… look at the scoreboard clock, it says 10:55. Likely done before the gates opened one day this week.

reflection and genuine thoughts

Basically he is telling Bradley to be a professional and don’t look for excuses. My thoughts regarding Bradley is he can’t self access and realize he is responsible for his own actions—-not the world.

My brother-in-law was correct, the locker room was going to be a problem this year with him.

Injuries, down years, unbalanced lineups, poor bullpen, and this

um

Basically, he’s telling the press to give the players some privacy, and to write about the actual players playing baseball on the field, and stay out of the clubhouse. He’s also saying that it’s hard to see what’s written about you, and he can understand why someone might feel like they’re not wanted.

Forget all that other stuff. I gotta believe.
