Doesn't Matt Garza know it's not a good idea to admit that you hit someone? Doesn't he know it's not a good idea to critique a team that just beat you in a three game series? Well...I guess not.
From the St. Petersburg Times on the Yankees as a team:
"They have a lot of weaknesses," pitcher Matt Garza said.
On the fact that he hit Teixeira on purpose?
"I just kind of got tired of people brushing him back," Garza said. "It's about time someone made a statement. They did it on Monday night and we didn't do anything, they didn't do it too much (Tuesday) and (Chamberlain) did it again tonight.
"I hate to be that guy, but someone had to take a stand and say, 'You know, we're tired of it.' You can go after our best guy, well, we'll make some noise too, and that's what happened."
So Matt Garza wanted to make a statement on a pitch that Joba Chamberlain threw 18 feet over Longoria's head, and so what does he do? He barely hits Teixeira in the arm. I mean the ball hardly even grazed him. On the replay, I don't think you even see the ball hit him. Is the statement Garza tried to make that he doesn't have good control? Is that the noise you really want to make?
I hope you enjoy that suspension/fine Matt Garza, because you'll be very sad watching the Yankees with all their "weaknesses" play in October while you're sitting home.
