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.
原本周二的双重赛是Ricky Nolasco投第一场，Jose Fernandez投第二场
但却被Jeffrey Loria强行将先发顺序互换，让菜鸟Jose Fernandez改投第一场
通常双重赛老鸟可以先决定要投哪场，Loria等于是强行破坏潜规则，引发球员不满
