Carlos said, “Disrespectful words with no facts with nothing to say. We scored six runs at home, then we scored, what, like nine? Then we scored six again here, they just happened to score 12. And then you look at our OPS on the road that’s the best in all the big leagues through a 162-game season which we played 81 on the road. Their OPS was a lot higher at home than it was on the road. He needs to know the facts.”
"Disrespectful words with no facts… he needs to know the facts, or you know what he needs to do." 👀
