Observation on one of Marty's comments...

[TeamBoone]

Castellini isn't the one who said it.

You know, that said, I wonder if these guys (ownership, managerial staff, players) have any idea of what's said during radio broadcasts.

I'm sure some do. I can recall Rob Dibble refusing to be on the star of the game show after Marty B. was critical of his behavior back during the 90's

I like the fact that he is "73" years old and uses words like iz, domincans, criticiszm, eyez, and strikez, among others.

WomackRUlZZZ250 - sounds like a troll name to me. I don't have a problem with people bringing up race - believe it or not race relations is a problem we don't talk enough about in our society.....but from a Troll it is just baiting.

The comments about Pena seem to stem from a few things.

1. Lots of people around the club - writers, broadcasters, officials, etc. - seemed to whisper a lot last season about how long it was taking him to recover from a quad bruise or whatever. I remember a lot of people on here doing the same. The general consensus always came across that Pena turned little nagging injuries into injuries much more serious because he didn't want to work through them.

2. I seem to recall Pena taking a lot of heat from people for not doing extra BP and "voluntary" sessions during the year that other players did. Even when he was struggling.

3. It's not necessarily having to do with being lazy, but some of the writers seemed to get the impression that some people felt WMP had gotten a big head and was cocky with people at times. He felt like he was on the Dunn/Jr level of "status" I guess on the club as far as what was expected of him to do and everything.

Those were just some of the rumblings I've heard and read from people.

What I've been sayin' all along.. .

There was a time when Reds Fans were considererd amoung the best and brightest in all the land.

Way back when we could form our own opinions.

The average Reds Fan of today (IMHO) believes everything they happen to hear from Marty.

The true shame here is that nobody wants to disagree with any of Martys opinions.

Most local beat writers and sportstalk radio host wait for Martys take on things before they'll take a stand on a subject. Gotta agree with "THE HALL OF FAMER" ya know.

This is not a hate on Marty post but rather a hate on the nature of things.

Marty was alone in the booth last night... best game I've heard him call in a long long time.

He had no one else to talk to so, for the most part, he stuck with the game. Very few sarcasms as well.

Marty said today that Pena was one of the laziest players he's been around. I find that hard to believe. Though he's not a good outfielder, he has improved. He consistently plays winter ball. His plate approach has improved. And beyond that I don't think one can have a physique like his and not work on it. Does anyone know if there is an incedent(s) marty is referring to? PS- I'm for the trade I just found his comment odd.

I've heard that there are some players that weren't really sad to see him go because he is so gifted, but doesn't work as hard as some who aren't.

Again, it's what I've heard.

[Matt700wlw]

iz marty racist towards domincans? lots of unfair criticiszm seems to be at their expense w\o justification lots of time not that he doesnt talk out of his you know what about other things to

He's not racist towards anybody. He says what he feels, just like we do....the difference is, what we say doesn't get broadcast over a 50,000 watt station.

[Matt700wlw]

im serious lot of his felipe comments were over the line and now wily mo when every1 says he was the hardest worker

Junior's the hardest worker.
