Chen's attitude today

[johnnyb]

Was no one else bothered by the way he showed up Buck today? Based on the post-game interview, he was angry about being taken out and not really angry about how he performed.

"I was taken out of the game because I allowed a couple runners to get on base. Anybody will be angry when you get taken out of the game in that situation. But that's not something I can control and I will just accept it."

I also don't think his frustration about being sent down was truly just Boras telling him how to react.

I thought he was mad at himself. Don't like hearing that, I like Chen but he should look in the mirror today.

Good ridden. Really.

Yeah, good on Buck for not blowing that game by leaving Chen in too long. That said, I don't think it's a big deal. Lots of pitchers stay stuff like that.

[Oriolesallday]

Just being a little too passionate.

[Machado13]

Feel like he has been speaking out couple times from pressure of contract year. Very unlikely Os sign him...trade him if right deal is available

Exactly. Better than an Erik Bedard attitude.

Nothing to see here. Pitchers get frustrated at their managers taking them out all the time, and nothing Chen said was disrespectful in my opinion.

I don't want to see a pitcher be excited about being taken out, but it looked liked he was screaming expletives of some kind as he was leaving the mound.

I guess he's become Americanized. As long as he's not yelling at/or showing up Buck (and that wasn't the case imo), it's just not a big deal.

This is No. 999,999,996 on my list of things to worry about. Chen has been a consummate professional with the O's despite the occasional awkward quote in translation.

Showed up Buck????? :rofl:

He was mad he didn't perform.

People just looking for ANY flaw! Someone to blame.

[johnnyb]

All right. I will try posting again in another decade.

I hope his translator was translating his expletives for everyone on the bench.

Keep in mind his words are being translated from another language, so at lot of context could be lost. It's very possible he was trying to say something like, "I was angry that I gave up a couple of runners and had to put a reliever in that kind of jam. I wanted a chance to work out of it."
