If you needed any more proof of how loud your body language can speak – please take a look at today’s sports section of Newsday, http://www.newsday.com/sports/ -- and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about regarding the New York Mets’ Oliver Perez.
NOTE: You may need to click on Mets to view the picture.
O-Perez looks like he’s a short minute away from shedding some tears on Delgado’s shoulder. Coach Peterson saved himself a mound visit that may have concluded with a hug.
The pouting must go. The importance of monitoring, supporting, and leading bullpen pitchers is one-thing; making sure one of your starters remains focused, confident, and relaxed is surely another thing.
O-Perez undoubtedly has enough support and leadership, thus, when we witness a picture telling the complete story, than we really need to believe that it’s something that only O-Perez can deal with.
What will he decide to do – continue pouting with both shoulders slumped over – or will he continue learning from pitchers like Johan and Pedro, while stepping-up to the mound and dealing with the most important thing right now . . . himself.
