Quotes from Eric Wedge

I talked yesterday in the recap about some things Wedge was saying.. Here are some quotes via Anthony Castrovince at Indians.com

"They need to get out of their own heads and get out there and play," Wedge said of his players. "Quit talking about it and just go out and do it."

"We're giving away way too many at-bats," Wedge said. "I am sick and tired of us giving away at-bats."

"Paralysis by analysis," Wedge said. "Come on, let's go. You've got to be smart enough to kick yourself out of it. Hey, if they've got to get mad at me to do it, then so be it. I know they're capable of doing better. I'm tired of seeing the same thing with the at-bats from day to day. They need to be better than this. It's the big leagues."

"They're up there hacking, they're up there hitting," Wedge said. "Like these [other] guys did when they first came up."

"I hate talking like this," he said, "but we've got to do better."

Eric Wedge just doesn't talk like that. He made it clear he is tired about talking the hitting. You can see it too. He just hates it, and he doesn't like calling out his players. He called Travis by "Mr. Hafner"! Not only does Wedge not do that, but no manager does that.

These guys need to pick it up quickly.. I'm surprised they haven't already the way Wedge is talking. You figure that type of stuff would make them irate and want to hit.

Who knows.. But this is the most emotion Wedge has ever shown in his entire time as the manager of the Indians. It's also the most critical he's ever been. I think we've seen what it takes to push Wedge to the edge, and we know that point exists. I know a lot of fans questioned him and his emotion.

My question is, do any us really want to see this emotion again?

I don't, because that means the club is going pretty bad. Yikes.
