It’s all perception: Clemens vs. Piazza

June

Sitting in the Yankees dugout, Willie Randolph said then, and he repeated it today, that he looked at the Roger Clemens bat throwing incident with Mike Piazza as something “that happened in the heat of the moment.’’

When asked what he would have thought had he been managing the Mets in the 2000 World Series, Randolph said: “I would’ve thought Mike Piazza should’ve gone after him.’’

I was always torn on this. On the one hand I would have loved for him to go after Roger the dodger. But, on the other hand, if he does and gets suspended for a game or two it takes away any chance we had to win that series.

This coming from a manager who seems too timid to fight for his own players with the umpires? The World Series was not the proper venue for charging the mound over what seemed like an irrational act of a roid-fueled lunatic.

The thrown broken bat thing was the 2nd incident between mike and the rocket. at least mike looked at him this time. i realize clemens is a big guy but he still should have gone.

and heat of the moment is crap, the bat exploded. it is not like it ‘slipped’ out of his hands and headed for him.
