Injured relief pitcher Tim Spooneybarger called Marlins manager Jack McKeon "gutless" over the handling of his sore right elbow.

 

"The thing that upset me the most is making it seem like I'm not hurt," said Spooneybarger, on the disabled list since June 17.

 

Spooneybarger is angry about comments McKeon said to reporters in early July when the manager was asked when the reliever would return to action.

 

"I don't know," McKeon said at the time. "Ask him. He's the one that says this tingles, that tingles. He's already missed, what, a month?"

 

Spooneybarger, who was rehabbing in Jupiter last week, had kept quiet about his feelings until Friday.

 

"To act like I'm a (censored) scrub ... like I don't want to pitch ... I'm not hurt? Are you kidding me? The man can't come talk me and ask me if I'm hurt?"

 

On June 17, team doctors diagnosed him with elbow tendinitis based on a magnetic resonance image exam taken that day. Bothered after trying to throw a week later, Spooneybarger visited orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews, who found a strained ligament on the same MRI.

 

"To come out and say, 'this tingles and that tingles,' the MRI said I was fine -- that's horse (manure)," Spooneybarger said. "I didn't know he was a doctor. You're telling me not to listen to the best orthopedic surgeon in the country, who told me I was hurt?"

 

"I think it's kind of strange how I've seen three or four or five doctors and they all said my ligament was fine. Then I take the same MRI to Dr. Andrews and my ligament is strained. Who do I listen to?"

 

Spooneybarger recalled a team meeting McKeon called on May 11, his first day as manager. "His opening remarks were 'I'm not gonna talk about anybody in the papers. We can talk face to face.' Well, he hasn't said a word to me and he's bashed me in the paper. I think he's pretty gutless.

 

 

"And now everybody who reads the paper thinks I'm faking it? Are you kidding me? Am I gonna call Dr. Andrews a liar? I got somebody who I thought would be on my side bashing me, saying I don't want to pitch? I was leading all relievers in baseball at one point in amount of innings pitched and I don't want the ball?"

 

Spooneybarger said he hadn't spoken to McKeon since the team's trip in Arlington, Texas, on June 13-15.

 

"I'm not going to speak to him. I could care less about him. He's got two more months left probably in his career. The guy's 85 (72, actually), on his last leg. I got 20 more years," he said.

 

But before Friday's game, and after reporters went to McKeon for reaction to Spooneybarger's comments, the manager met privately with Spooneybarger.

 

McKeon said late Friday that he and the reliever had patched up their differences.

 

McKeon said he didn't know why Spooneybarger was mad at him. "I don't have any problem with him. I just want to have him back," McKeon said.

 

 

Spooneybarger said: "Bottom line is I want to pitch, I want to help this team, But I don't want to injure myself so I have to miss a year. Can I afford to take that chance? Do I push myself to where I blow out so I never pitch again, or do I take the advice of the best doctor in the country?"

Hahahaha

LOL LOL :lol :lol :lol .........ramp, you can be a funny dude

ay not my fault i been gone all week..... lol

Ramp, that was hillarious...

Spoony has a right to be pissed...

 

McKeons the one doubting that he's hurt...

 

McKeons not a doctor and if the number one surgeon in the country tells spoony he's injured and McKeon starts bitchin to the media that he's not hurt. I'd be pissed to if i were tim.

Spooney has a right to be pissed...but McKeon has an even greater right to be pissed...

 

When you have an injured player...and you have NO CONTACT with him for a MONTH...there's a problem there...and that's grounds for being pissed off.

what do you mean...when you say "no conatact"

 

 

it's not like Spoonybarger wasnt showing up at the Pro. If he attends the games it will be kind of hard not to be in contact with your manager. unless he just ignored him.
