Valentine: umps know
about Chiles’ letter
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Bobby
Valentine says American League
umpires have exploited a confiden
tial directive he got from owner Ed
die Chiles to quit getting thrown out
of games and that it’s almost costing
him his job as Texas Rangers man
ager.
Valentine was thrown out of
Tuesday night’s 12-1 victory over
Oakland in his fourth ejection of the
season.
After the game, he told the Fort
Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram he
thought a letter from Chiles in May,
ordering him to stop getting ejected,
was confidential. The letter came af
ter Valentine received back-to-back
ejections May 2-3 in Toronto.
But in Tuesday night’s game, Val
entine said umpire Jim Evans al
luded to the Chiles directive.
“Jim Evans told me I don’t know
how to argue — I’m out of control,”
Valentine said. “He said, ‘What does
your owner think about it?’ As it
turns out, Eddie sent me a letter af
ter the Toronto debacle and told me
not to get thrown out anymore.
“It makes me understand a lot of
smirks I’ve gotten on the field and a
lot of the confrontations where I’ve
been egged on,” Valentine said. “I
don’t think that’s a situation that
should exist. An umpire thinking he
can get me out of baseball isn’t
right.”
Evans said he didn’t make any di
rect reference to the Chiles letter.
“I said he had to learn to argue to
keep himself in a ballgame,” Evans
“I know about a letter, but I certainly
didn’t, mention it in an argument.
“I said, ‘If you expect to please
your pwner and please us, you’ve got
to know how to argue,”’ said Evans,
saying it has to be done in a profes
sional way.
Valentine said he has no idea how
any umpires would have learned
about the letter from Chiles. “I
thought the letter was something be
tween me and the owner,” Valentine
said.
Chiles was in Toronto Wednesday
for the major league owners’ meet
ings and not immediately available
for comment on the matter.
Evans said he read about the letter
in a newspaper story. But last night
was the first time Valentine has ever
mentioned such a letter to reporters
who cover the team.
Since becoming the Rangers’
manager May 16, 1985, Valentine
has been ejected 14 times by 14 dif
ferent umpires. He served a four-
day suspension last Sept. 12-15 for
allegedly accusing umpire Larry
Barnett of betting on games. Valen
tine denied make that assertion.
Valentine says he has been a
“choir boy” since the directive from
Chiles to start getting along with the
men in blue.
Lansford lifts Oakland
to 11-7 win over Texas
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Car
ney Lansford drove in four runs
with a triple and double on Wednes
day, leading the Oakland Athletics
to an 11-7 victory over the Texas
Rangers.
The second-place A’s came back
from a 12-1 defeat the previous
night and moved to within 2'A
games of the Minnesota Twins, the
American League West leaders, who
played the Chicago White Sox
Wednesday night.
Oakland scored four runs, includ
ing two on Lansford’s triple, before
Texas starter Bobby Witt, 7-9, re
tired a batter. Witt gave up four runs
in the first inning and left in the sec
ond, when he was charged with two
runs.
Tony Bernazard, who had three
of the A’s 12 hits, singled in the first
after Luis Polonia led off with a dou
ble. Jose Canseco broke out of a 0-
for-18 slump with a single to drive in
the first run, Lansford tripled to
right-center field, and Mark McG
wire had an RBI single.
Canseco got his second RBI of the
game and 98th of the season with
another single in the second, after
Bernazard’s RBI double.
Oakland starter Storm Davis,
making his debut with the A’s, was
unable to go the five full innings re
quired for a pitching victory. He left
in the fifth when the Rangers scored
three runs, with the first coming on
Geno Petralli’s fifth home run. Re
liever Greg Cadaret, 4-2, got the vic
tory.
Lansford had a two-run triple in
the sixth, when the A’s also got a run
on a throwing error by Texas re
liever Mitch Williams.
Texas scored two runs in the
eighth, the first on a bases-loaded
fielder’s choice grounder by Jerry
Browne, the other on Ruben Sierra’s
infield single. Gary Lavelle replaced
Eric Plunk with two runners on base
and struck out. Pete O’Bripn (o .end
the threat, _ x )o . t ,
Brian Harper restored a five-run
margin with a two-run double in the
bottom of the inning.
Dennis Eckersley, the fifth Oak
land pitcher, pitched the ninth, sur
rendering a run on Larry Parrish’s
triple and Tom O’Malley’s sacrifice
fly
Oilers’ Highsmith says
he wants to be traded
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston
holdout running back Alonzo High
smith and his agent turned down a
contract calling for a $ 1 million sign
ing bonus and a $2.2 million four-
year salary and asked to be traded,
Oilers General Manager Ladd Her-
zeg said Wednesday.
But the Oilers, who had increased
the bonus from $800,000 and
boosted the contract from $2 mil
lion, have no plans to trade their No.
1 draft choice, Herzeg said.
Highsmith’s agent, Robert Fraley,
“told me that decision wasn’t in the
best interests of our football team
and I told him he was hired to look
out for the best interests of his client
and he didn’t have to worry about
the Oilers,” Herzeg said.
Highsmith sat in on a morning ne
gotiating session and said he agreed
with his agent.
“I didn’t agree with what they of
fered and neither did Robert, so
that’s the end of it. I’m going back to
Miami,” Highsmith said. “If the Oil
ers don’t trade me, I’ll go back in the
draft and be the first or second pick
next year.”
Highsmith came to Houston Mon
day, hoping to get his contract re
solved by sitting in on the negotia
tion sessions for the first time. Fraley
is seeking a $1.4 million signing bo
nus and $2.5 million salary.
“They talked for about 20 min
utes and all it came down to was yes
or no,” Highsmith said, adding that
he could survive a year financially it
he doesn’t play football this season.
“Financially, I’m doing all right. I
don’t need the $800,000,” Highs
mith said. “I was doing well in col
lege and I’m still doing well. I’ve got
a car and I’m even wearing a Rolex.”
Fraley said he was returning to
Florida and that the two sides still
were far apart.
The Oilers failed to sign quar
terback Jim Everett, their No. 1 pick
last season, but Herzeg said the two
situations are different.
“We thought Jim Everett would
be great if he played for the Hous
ton Oilers or for someone else, and it
was the best pick for Houston from a
talent standpoint,” Herzeg said.
Everett, who will start for the Los
Angeles Rams Sunday against the
Oilers, went to the Rams for two
first-round draft choices, a fifth-
round pick, guard Kent Hill and de
fensive lineman William Fuller.
Ryan strikes out 16 batters
as Astros beat Giants 4-2
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston’s
Nolan Ryan struck out 16 batters in
eight innings as the Astros defeated
San Francisco 4-2 and moved within
4 1 /2 games of the National League
West Division-leading Giants.
Ryan’s 16 strikeouts, the most he’s
ever had in the NL, boosted his total
to 226 for the season in only 176 in
nings. He supassed Seattle’s Mark
Langston with 222 to take over the
major league lead and also overtook
teammate Mike Scott, who started
the game leading the NL with 210
strikeouts.
Mike Aldrete was Ryan’s 13th
strikeout victim to end the seventh
inning, giving Ryan 4,500 career
strikeouts.
Ryan, who extended his major
league record to 172 games with 10
or more strikeouts, fanned 10 of the
last 12 batters he faced, including
the last five. It was his highest strike
out total since he struck out 16 in
1979, when he was with the Califor
nia Angels.
The major league career strikeout
leader, Ryan had his biggest night
since he struck out 19 in 1977, also
with the Angels. His previous NL
high was 14 in 1968 when he was
with the New York Mets.
The last NL pitcher to strike out
16 was the Mets’ Dwight Gooden on
Aug. 20, 1985.
Dave Smith pitched the ninth for
Houston to gain his 23rd save.
The Astros took a 4-0 lead on
Ryan’s second career game-winning
hit and a double by Gerald Young in
the second inning, and Kevin Bass’
two-run homer over the left field
fence in the third inning.
