Yankees starting rotation has fun a Relief Pitcher. That decision emerged from i discussion Between Guidry and Dirk Howser he Yankees manager after the 3q-year-od left hander had been struggling for Tim. His won loss record is 13-10, i thought he d Start against us Billy Marti said. They used him in Relief sunday he waa told. I was glad to see that the a j manager said. As far As i m concerned Howser has done As Gooda Mana Jijong Job As anybody this year. The Only thing i d do differently is put guilty in the rotation. If they set to the playoffs they re going to gel ote up by Kansas City if they Don t have Guidry to Stop pm. He s not just a Good Pitcher he a a great Pitcher. And the Only Way the Yankees Are going to get tothe playoffs is to Start Over in the Yankee clubhouse Siler Tom under Wood s four hit shutout Dick Howser responded to Martin s theory. Martin s got his Point the Yankee manager said. But he has t seen Guidry ibis year. I Don t think the bullpen is a permanent thing for him. Eventually he s going to now by Martin Wax talking about Craig Nettles absence from the Yankees because of hepa Titis. They be really missed Craig somebody said. In a week he went from being terrible to being terrific Martin said. If he stays of another month he might make the had of the Yankees staff too old i Don t think it s too old. Luis tint is such a Good Pitcher Gaylord Perry is a real competitor they re not Loo old. But they got to have Guidry what did you think of George s recent blast it s the manager s Job to motivate not the owner s. 1 told George Many times thin the players Don t even listen to him. The players will respect anything the manager tells pm lie manager is the Boss. But when the criticism does t come from the manager they consider it embarrassing. When it comes from the owner they Don t really want to go out and play better because then they know the owner will say. Did it.1" just then Cedric Tallis the Yankees executive vice president and Gene Michael the general manager stopped by. We re not Tallis said with a smile a he and Michael departed. We Don t want to cramp your Martin laughed and resumed talking about the Yankees principal owner s tendency to criticize his players. The players feel the manager knows their feel he Aid. The manager lives with pm. The manager travels on the bus with pm the manager spends every Day with pm. If they read something in the papers about what the owner says it la take them about four or five Days to get Over it. If the manager Biby Mirton. The players Don t even listen to Steinbrenner blasts pm they la be Mart but they la go out and perform. I always Felt i d loss inc player if i criticized pm in the Martin however hat not been reluctant to criticize an Umpire Jerry Neudecker who ejected him from the a s Fame sunday in boston."1 won t manage another game that Neudecker Umpire Martin said i May not even put my Teamon the held. I think it s come to the Point where when he makes a mistake he t got to be punished. He can t be Tike a supreme god out there. I get fined players gel suspended. Why not an Umpire Neudecker i mistake in Martin s judgment was ruling a Home run on a drive that the a s manage believed hit the Fenway Park Wall. He ruled that fan reached Over and touched i but the Ball hit a fool and a half below the Wall and bounced Back Martin said. When my outfielder started arguing he waved them away saying he would Only talk to me. I asked him have you Ever seen a Ball hit n fan and Ricochet 40 feet7 did the fan have steel hands but he never changed the next Day. Carlton Fisk moved his shoulder into a slow curve and the Young plate Umpire ruled hit by pitch. I ran up there and asked him you think he d do that on a fastball he s got to try to get out of the Way of the Pilch not move into it the next thing i know Neudecker has come Down from tint base. He s just listening he tells me and i Tell him did t you Tell my outfielders to go Back to their positions yesterday Well now i m telling you to go Back to your position and he throws me out. He s an incompetent among others Reggie Jackson has predicted hat some Day Martin will manage the Yankees again. Asked about that he smiled. I got a Nice Job he said. "1 Don t chink i la Ever manage the Yankees again. Maybe an owner. And i that happens. I la always have a Job for if you re an owner somebody suggested make George the d love dial Martin said trailing i d ill him George i want to see you right after the game that s what he used to Tell me All the Lime. But he really wants la win that s what i like about him. The Way our country s going maybe we d be better off with me and George running i d handle Russia and he d handle what about Iran we would have taken care of that 1 Long time ago Martin said.
