Nor has he ever struck me as being innately brilliant. But what made him a winner is that he worked harder, and studied the game more, than any other pitcher. <br /><br />As such, I give his opinion a lot more credence than I would give to, say, Pedro mouthing off. <br /><br />But there is one thing that Schilling overlooked, and that Saltalamacchia got spot on:<br /><br />""Is he different than Tito (Francona)? Yeah. He's not Tito. I thought Tito was awesome -- more of a quiet approach -- but I think Bobby has done a great job of keeping the guys loose, keeping the heat off us and kind of putting it on himself."<br /><br />The players have had to deal with remarkably little shit this pre-season. Nobody is bagging on Crawford, or worrying about Youkilis, or questioning Gonzo's contract. Because everytime the press needs a story, Bobby happily puts it on his own shoulders. And that's huge.<br /><br />I don't think Bobby needs Beckett to defend him (though its nice to see Beckett doing so.) As far as I can tell, Bobby's happy to be taking the heat while the team gets ready to go out and win.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308509561834397951noreply@blogger.com
