Interesting interview with Greinke by Jim Haudricourt.

Later, Greinke added, "I like a lot of the guys. I haven't seen anyone yet that's annoying to me. They've all been good."

Marty was talking about an article about Greinke during todays game and I assume it was this one. Overall you can definitely see from how he talks that he is still dealing with his anxiety issues a lot. It will be interesting to see what might happen to Greinke's attitude if the Brewers hit a rough patch and the clubhouse atmosphere takes a turn for the worse.

Greinke would be in for a rough time pitching in the playoffs. The number of reporters bothering him would increase exponentially.

He's just a different kind of guy. I doubt he impacts the clubhouse chemistry at all because he keeps to himself.

Would it be poor sportsmanship if redszone orchestrated a personalized Zach Greinke chant when he is pitching at GABP?

You mean like "Xanax, Xanax, Xanax, Xanax!"???

Yes, that would be completely out of line.

Honestly, I feel bad for the guy. Anxiety/depression is no laughing matter and I hope he's fine in that regard. I hope the Reds rock him every time they face him (not likely) but I hope he's in good mental health.

If a fan of another team was making fun of Joey Votto's bout with depression and I was around ... them would be fightin' words.

very true, but my humanity will be tested when he starts blowing away reds batters.

[BoydsOfSummer]

The way some of these Bozo's act at the park, chanting Xanax at him would be a relief.

[Ron Madden]

I didn't hear what Marty said about the interview but I don't see anything wrong with what Greinke had to say.

Greinke sounded a whole lot like Joey Votto to me. Maybe I'm wrong but I believe that to be a good thing.
