First Joe Maddon called John Lackey a guy who was normally a good teammate, then called him a friend and hoped he?d stay a friend. But then he called him out for plunking Matt Joyce in the back. From Pete Abraham of the Globe:
?So he intentionally hit him when he did, there?s no question in my mind that he did, and the sad part is that I?ve always considered Lackey a good teammate, but right there he can get one of his own players hurt ??it was inappropriate to hit Matt on purpose, and furthermore because one of them can get hurt. So that?s being a bad teammate as far as I?m concerned. In the past, he was always a good teammate. That was really a bad moment for him tonight.?
All of this was the result of a sixth inning plunking that was likely payback for Joyce hitting a home run in the first and then admiring what Joyce thought would be a home run in the second but wound up a foul ball. There were side-eyes and jawing and all of that stuff.
Lackey?s response:
?Trying to come in there get him off the plate,? Lackey said.
Oh those baseball players.
