Mat Latos Speaks Out About The Reds Clubhouse

[LOOGY]

Mat Latos on Reds? clubhouses in 2012 and ?13: ?Everything went to [expletive].? | HardballTalk

 

Don't know how to feel about this. It may be true, but to throw your former teammates under the bus kind of rubs me the wrong way.

I have no problem with what he said.

[LOOGY]

I have no problem with what he said.

 

When I first saw the Hardball talk I had no context, after reading the full piece it doesn't sound as bad.

[LOOGY]

Theres a lot of hidden gems in that piece, from the training staff, to Ludwick

"We had a closer sleeping until the 7th inning"

[Blue Magic]

I had no problem with it either. It sort of proved he wasn't much of a leader himself either, though.

[gametime]

Easy to throw the former teammates under the bus when he did PLENTY of things wrong in his time as a Red. Didn't hear any of those mentioned as he was popping off...

[HammerTime]

Funny one of the few guys he mentions in a good way speaks out against him.

 

Sam LeCure @mrLeCure

regardless of what anyone may have heard or read, the reds are a high quality organization and we are gonna be a VERY fun team to watch

"We had a closer sleeping until the 7th inning"

 

Like I've posted before, seen this closer sitting in the bullpen snoozing, Guess the bullpen coach looks the other way as long as closer can toss 100+MPH fastballs.

It's MLB people, not college or high school. Some of the pitchers are beyond goofy. Face it Reds fans, our closer sleeps 12+ hours a day (sometimes even during the game), smokes heaters, eats unhealthy, drives real fast, likes hookers and throws cheddar.

 

And no, nothing else matters if you throw 100+.

[Capernicus41]

Kind of funny coming from Latos... However, he is spot on as far as leadership goes. Scott and Bronson held guys accountable and you have to have that in a locker room. It's time Bruce and Frazier step up.

Maybe LeCure is trying to be a leader with his Tweet? Who knows. Just win.

Don't see how that's speaking out against him, seems very similar to what Latos himself said when he said they have great players, coaching and owner.

Yet Latos didn't bother to step up and try to be a leader.
