Marlins Closer Heath Bell Says He's Not a Meathead
By Tim Ryan
But you can hardly blame Ozzie for the quick lift. Bell has given up four hits and three runs and two walks in his last 0.2 innings of work. That’s a trainwreck. Here’s Bell:
“Walking off the field, you definitely hear the boos … I feel like I’m going out there pitching. I’m trying to make my pitches … I’m just not a meathead that rears back and throws the ball. I’m actually trying to pitch. I wasn’t blessed throwing hard when I was younger.”
I guess Bell has a point. Despite standing 6’3 and weighing 250 pounds and sporting a ridiculous profile photo, anyone who dresses up as a Star Wars character is immediately exempt from meathead consideration. But meathead or not, knowing the outward personalities of both Bell and Guillen, expect a few hilarious blowups should his paltry performance persist.
