I'm glad to see that I'm not always a voice crying in the Desert - Dan Shaughnessy says his piece on Pedro leaving the ballpark early on Opening Day. I don't always agree with Shaughnessy's POV, but I do feel he hits the nail on the head on this one.
Apparently Terry Francona has talked to Martinez about the issue and everything is clear, but it doesn't look good for him to be saying things like this about not leaving the ballpark early:
"I didn't communicate it very well. I passed out some of the guidelines early and that was my fault because Pedro didn't even get it. Remember he came a couple days late? I overlooked that. It's my fault."
Smooth people management, or pandering to a temperamental star in the final year of his contract? Only time will tell.
