Mackey Rips Ryan's "No Scholarships" quote calls Twins "bizarre"

10

Maybe I am seeing things, but it seems Mackey has become more critical of the Twins since they announced they are leaving 1500. Mackey tears into Ryan by pointing out Slama's career and season stats and compares them to the endless Jeff Grey outings and says: "Of the 214 International League pitchers who threw at least 30 innings this season, Slama tallied more strikeouts per nine innings than all of them." Maybe the Twin's are right about Slama, I don't know. But in this case I agree with Mackey that it just seems strange he doesn't get a shot to prove he can't.
