Daily News | ‘Let’s figure it the [bleep] out’: Three Phillies take stock of their disappointing start
“Yeah, we were talking about it,” Stubbs said. “There’s no meeting or anything like that. We talk all the time. Our locker room is really close. Just random conversations like — the pat on the back, it’s going to be fine, is fine and dandy and all are good mentally, but also sometimes you’ve got to want to be called out for playing not good. And even if you get [ticked] off at whoever for calling you out, sometimes it can create some good things. A little bit of spark.
“I am not [the parent]. I’m not any sort of parent. This is a general locker room — sometimes we as people, including me, sometimes I need to be told, ‘Hey man, figure it ... out. And people need to be told that in their 9-to-5 jobs. And our fans do a great job of telling us that.”The Phillies are chasing plenty this season — especially pitches out of the strike zone
“I think you need to have the confidence to know you’re going to play better and not be negative and down on yourself,” Turner said. “Because this game is hard enough. But at the same time, have some urgency. And I think we have that. But sometimes I know we’ve played and it looks like that, but I can tell you on the inside that’s not how we feel. Be accountable and have some urgency, but also have belief in yourself.
“I’ve had moments where Stubbs comes up and asks me what I was thinking in that spot or that at-bat,” he said. “Obviously it wasn’t a good at-bat. And I tell him what I was thinking and he tells me what he’s thinking, and that’s honesty. You have to be able to hear all sides.”
