What David Ortiz said speaking at the famed picnic table in Fort Myers earlier this month about Bobby Valentine: “A team is like a human body. If the head is right, the body is going to function right, but if the head is messed up, then the body is going to be all over the place. It seems like that was part of our situation last year. Guys weren’t comfortable with the manager we had. Guys were struggling.”

OBF Translator: “And despite all that, I got a two-year, $26 million contract to be a DH. So whenever we lose, it’s the manager’s fault. And don’t you forget it.”
