In the past, Rothschild admits, he didn't develop a close enough bond with his bench coach. That should change with McRae, a former Royals manager. Talk about McRae once becoming so upset he threw a telephone at a reporter. But that was a long time ago. McRae doesn't like to discuss it.
Some people are quietly intense.
I have no idea why. Talk about Daulton once suggesting that a pitcher either stop folding on the mound or wear a dress out there. The pitcher, by the way, grew up to be Curt Schilling.
