Man, how do you get a name like Stryker?

Airplane!
Kendrick’s comments come; then the D-Backs rattle off convincing victories vs the Rockies. Could be coincidence.

I was thinking the same thing. I might name my kid that.

He was named after the Burt Reynolds character B.L. Stryker.

As a Boston fan living 20 min. north of Boston, I can honestly say that ownership NEVER calls out players; they are incredibly calculated in their comments with regard to public opinion etc. In fact the one time a player (Youkilis) was called out, it was by the manager (Valentine) who immediately retracted/corrected his statement.

You’re right…they wait until after the player/manager has left to completely throw them under the bus.

Nobody was questioning his right to say whatever he wants, just the sense of doing so.
For what it’s worth I saw more of the quotes in context and the one about Upton really wasn’t that bad. The one about Drew, though, really never should have been said. I guess the one about Upton probably shouldn’t have been said either if for no other reason than it seemed to bother him, but it was pretty mild.
