Okay, now that everyone has read the papers, here's the real story. First of all, Gio and Max did not get kicked off the team because they blew up....they blew up after the coach had told them quote, "you're mother has been causing to many problems around here, so you guys won't be able to wear this uniform any more". This was not said in a private meeting with the players, this was said in front of everyone. So the players felt they had to do what any player who felt that their mother was being insulted in front of the team did, they let the coach have it(after they were told they had been kicked off) And as far as Max's playing time.. He did not expect to start all the games, not even half(which he was told at the beginning of the season he would rotate at catcher) but he at least wanted a few starts, which should have not been a suprise to anyone who has seen the team play, and knows that their starting catcher has not had a rest all season. The sad part of all of this is that a kid is getting a reputation for being bad, when in reality he, and his family were manipulated by the coach. And if anyone doubts this, just take a look at the pitch counts of most of Gio's starts. The bottom line is that the Gonzalez family was sold a lie that both there sons would be given an oppurtunity to fight for there starting position, and this was not the case. My main message is don't believe everything you read in the papers, it is extremely manipulated sometimes.
