[洋基] Yankees growing tire of A.J. Burnett's act

[stonemonkey (ネギ)]

It's been two-plus years since the Yankees lured A.J. Burnett to New York with

the kind of money to make him feel like an American League powerbroker. Team

officials never would admit they've given up the vigil, but after teetering

between brilliance and a million unforgivable mistakes, Burnett's Yankee legacy

is probably beyond repair: Trust him at your own risk.



Maybe that's why the situation on the mound in the sixth inning Saturday seemed

so tense - everyone, including Burnett and Joe Girardi, had a beef with the

meltdown that ultimately cost the Yankees a 4-3 loss to the A's.



Burnett was angry because … well, take your pick off the menu. He'd just

issued back-to-back walks to Oakland's Nos. 8 and 9 hitters to load the bases.

It didn't help Burnett's mood that several close pitches were called balls by

plate umpire Bill Welke. And the most obvious irritant was seeing Girardi on

his way to the mound after exactly 100 pitches.



You didn't need much in the ways of forensics to gauge Burnett's simmering rage

He turned his back on Girardi as soon as the manager popped out of the dugout,

staring into left field. Burnett waited until Girardi reached the mound to

acknowledge him, but refused to look him in the eye while handing over the

baseball.



It was an uncomfortable exchange that could've turned uglier, had both men not

chosen their words carefully after the game. Burnett insisted he was angry

"because I thought some of the pitches [to Conor Jackson and Landon Powell]

were close."


Girardi was in similar spin mode, saying he wouldn't have taken issue with

Burnett for protesting an early hook.

"Most guys want to keep pitching until their arms fall off," Girardi said,

before adding, "I don't want guys looking at me [from the mound and saying],

'Come get the ball.' "


This explanation is only partly true. Had Girardi been more candid, he would've

said Burnett had no right to be angry: The A's rally was entirely his own doing

as has been the case in so many of his Yankee-era failures."


總結:信任危機
