Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria personally mandated the lineup card change
that flip-flopped starting pitchers Jose Fernandez and Ricky Nolasco in a
doubleheader Tuesday and left Marlins players furious with his continued
meddling, three sources with knowledge of the situation told Yahoo! Sports.
Loria insisted Fernandez, the team's prized 20-year-old rookie, pitch in the
first half of the doubleheader at frigid Target Field instead of the
scheduled Nolasco because the day game was expected to be warmer. The
temperature at Fernandez's first pitch (38 degrees) was actually colder than
at the beginning of Nolasco's start (42 degrees).
Rookie manager Mike Redmond delivered the news to Nolasco about 2½ hours
before the first game against the Minnesota Twins, and it did not go over
well with him or his teammates. Standard protocol for doubleheaders is that
veterans choose which game they want to pitch. Not only did Loria ignore that
and further alienate Nolasco, the Marlins' highest-paid player who has
previously requested a trade, he sabotaged Redmond less than 20 games into
his managerial career.
原本周二的雙重賽是Ricky Nolasco投第一場，Jose Fernandez投第二場
但卻被Jeffrey Loria強行將先發順序互換，讓菜鳥Jose Fernandez改投第一場
通常雙重賽老鳥可以先決定要投哪場，Loria等於是強行破壞潛規則，引發球員不滿
