Heath Bell 2012: It's Not Because He's Fat

[Beef]

Yeah, he's pretty fat

[Big Z]

From the PBP:

Following the game he said in frustration, "Apparently our trainer says I work too hard. I'm out busting my ass every single day on the treadmill, the bike, working, looking at the video. Maybe I need to listen to him and stop working so hard.'

When Bell was asked Friday if everything was OK between him and the trainer, he said, "no comment." Sean Cunningham is in his 11th season as the Marlins head trainer.

Guillen reiterated his confidence in Bell.

"He's my closer and if we want to win this thing we have to count on him. He's going to be there in the ninth inning until he can't do it anymore."

[Namaste]

If he's on the treadmill everyday than he must LOVE to stuff his face with empty calories

Guy is HUGH for a pro baseball player

[Mainge]

ehe he's picking fights with Mr. Cunningham. I gon try to find out what's up

[Omar]

I'm totally on his side if he's beefing with Cunningham

[Mainge]

Why is that?

[Omar]

Too many injuries over the years that have gone from 'day-to-day' to 'couple of weeks' to '15 day DL' to 'visiting Dr. Andrews, done for season' for my liking. Might not be Cunningham's fault per se, but we're not exactly the Phoenix Suns.

[Mainge]

That happens every where though. Especially with young players.

Just literally happened to the Yankees with Pineda.

[Erick]

I don't really understand how the issue with the trainer is relevant to his struggles.

What does "the trainer thinks I'm working too hard" have to do with sucking on the mound?

[Ramp]

not having enough energy? hurting his pitches, etc
------
that being said, I would think Bell has done this big time working out stuff for most of his career... he knows his body more than Cunningham does at this point

[Party]

I'd like the see his caloric in take. He should look like Giancarlo!

[Omar]

That happens every where though. Especially with young players.

Just literally happened to the Yankees with Pineda.

Hmm, that's a good point

[Erick]

Seriously, Bell is hurt, right? If he's not, they should just say that he is for now. This is terrible.

[Ramp]

absolutely dreadful out there

all for taking him out of the closer's spot for now

[Fritz]

Can we return him?
