"To see one of your best relievers go down because he wasn't ready to go, it [ticked] me off a little bit," said catcher Brian Schneider, who watched Ayala's injury from the dugout as a member of the United States' WBC squad. "I know he's very patriotic and he's proud to be a Mexican. There's nothing wrong with that. He wanted to be there for his country. It's one thing to go there if you're ready to pitch. It's another thing to go there if you're not." |
