White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski and batting coach Greg Walker were involved in a verbal disagreement in the dugout Sunday that manager Ozzie Guillen said was Pierzynski's fault.
"A.J. has to admit he was wrong," said Guillen, explaining later that Pierzynski expressed surprise to Walker that Boston reliever Manny Delcarmen had a cut fastball. "I don't have anything against A.J. I like him. I love him. He's one of my players. I love this kid. He shows up every day, but he's got to admit he's wrong."
Walker took exception to Pierzynski's surprise, Guillen said, because the Sox had faced Delcarmen in the past and were aware of his cut fastball.
Bench coach Joey Cora had stepped between Pierzynski and Walker.
Walker downplayed the incident, saying, "It was A.J. being A.J., and Walk being Walk."
Pierzynski also downplayed the incident, saying he's had a few disagreements with Walker in the past.
"We're freinds, we still talk," Pierzynski said. "Like I said, we’ve gotten into it many times before and it wasn’t his fault, it was probably my fault."
