Yeah, it’s hearsay, but we like it anyway. Nothing like a manager seemingly pleading with (is begging too strong a word?) a pitcher to help him out…
Following last night’s 5-3 win over Detroit:
Francona wasted few words in handing Leskanic the ball.
“He said, `Please get this guy out,’ ” Leskanic recalled. “At least that’s what I heard.”
