Question

Does Lou Piniella get mad when Carlos Zambrano breaks a bat over his knee?

Answer 1

Not as long as he doesn't hurt himself.  I'm sure he is concerned though. Zambrano flys off the handle very easy.  One of these days he will go to far and yes, Pinella will be mad.

Answer 2

hm mm, when is Lou not mad about something !!!  i think he just takes it in stride, and lets the players vent.

Answer 3

These bats nowadays break like twigs. A little old lady could break one over her knee. It's no big deal, especially when he he's dominant.

Answer 4

Bats break like twigs?  Have you ever tried to break a bat over your leg?  Give it a try, and then post.

Answer 5

He should. Its pretty stupid that a player would do that. It could put him on the shelf for 6 weeks or more.

Answer 6

You can't get mad at Zambrano for being Zambrano.  If breaking a bat over his knee makes him feel better and continue to pitch well, then good.  I actually think Zambrano is in more control of his emotions now than in his entire career.  In Chicago we are really seeing something special, a great pitcher maturing.

I mean I remember times before where he would s***w up while hitting and then let it effect his pitching.  I am glad that those days are rarer and think he will be a h**l of a threat in the playoffs.

--And on the Radio I heard Lou was laughing at the replay after the game.

Answer 7

naah, its better then him breaking it ova sweet Lou's head.
