2240894, I respect the hell out of that if it's true

Especially after Davey Johnson was quoted all this season supporting hitting coach Rick Eckstein. Who was unfairly martyred in my opinion. In late June, Davey said, "But if you want to fire the hitting coach, you might as well fire me right with him. Because he’s got the same philosophy I do, as far as hitting goes."

A few weeks later, they fired the hitting coach and Davey stayed.

If Dusty went out on his sword standing up for his guy, that's really cool.

It would seem that only one former player from the 1973-75 Atlanta Braves is about that life.
