Ozzie Guillen, Sox Manager: 05/20/2006
While manager Dusty Baker and most Cubs players interviewed had no problem with A.J. Pierzynski’s collision with Michael Barrett, rookie left-hander Rich Hill called it “gutless” and “pathetic.”
“I think it was pretty gutless on their part; him hitting Michael when he didn’t even have the ball,” Hill said. “That’s not how you play the game. If he had the ball and he hits him, that’s fine, that’s how you play it. But you don’t go around just running over catchers. What if he injured him and he didn’t have the ball? That’s not the way you play the game. It was pathetic.”
Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was livid when he heard Hill’s comment.
“Tell that Triple-A [bleep] to shut the [bleep] up,” Guillen said. “Tell him to start throwing some strikes or he’s going to get Dusty fired.”
