garza and navarro are cool with each other

hey guys know need to worry about the team chemistry taking a hit after these 2 players got into it yesterday and know they can get back to playing baseball.

oh yeah patrick here is the source http://tampabay.rays.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080608&content_id=2875917&vkey=news_tb&fext=.jsp&c_id=tb

Garza did not return to the mound in the fifth even though he had thrown just 77 pitches, and Maddon confirmed the disagreement had been the reason for Garza's removal. And rather than find both parties equally culpable, Maddon said Navarro was "not the irritant." He summarized by saying: "They had an exchange of ideas."

After speaking to reporters, Maddon spoke to Garza in his office. Garza characterized the content of the meeting as "nothing about today."

"Just some stuff I have to fix, that's about it," Garza said.

Garza said "we definitely can fix [the problem]."

"Just heat of passion," Garza said. "We're both competitors. Whatever happened, we'll just keep it here and we'll fix it. ... This is a great bunch of guys and everybody is on each other's side. We can fix it."

Navarro said the problem was "just something that happened in the game."

"It happens in the family," he said. "I think everybody is going to be fine from this point on. It was really nothing."

When asked if he was "square" with Garza, Navarro replied: "Yeah, we're fine. We're a whole family here. [Little] brother fights against older brother, stuff like that. Everything's straight now."

I'm sure it won't be a problem long-term

It probably is exactly how they described it. My concern is more with Garza’s ongoing penchant to get too emotional on the mound, whether to himself or someone else. He needs to get over that and mature. Ultimately though, I think it isn’t anything more than that.

Chalk this one up to Latin Heat

I’ll take guys at each others throats over guys not caring, at least in the short term. Sure beats watching Travis Lee ground out to first and then go sit on the bench not really caring that he stole over a million dollars from the DRO

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

Travis Lee IN Latin Heat

Travis Lee

That guy might have sucked with the bat, but he was an absolute wizard with the glove at first base. He may have been the best fielding first baseman I’ve ever seen. As much as our infield defense sucked when he was here it would have been much worse without him. He saved a ton of horrible throws.

That said, he REALLY sucked with the bat.

His glove was amazing

agree with you might have been best I have ever seen. His bat one of the worse I have ever seen.
