Despite a seemingly perfect season, on pace to play in a fifth Cecil Cup and taking over the lead as the all-time winningest franchise in SDMB OOTP history, sources indicate that trouble is brewing inside the front offices of the Seattle Monarchs. Apparently Team Owner/General Manager Mack Shultz and Field Manager Alvin Davis have had several fiery confrontations this year including a brouhaha yesterday over Davis's recent use of a three-man starting rotation.
"It was a massive fight," said one source within the executive offices of the reigning Cecil Cup champions. "Everyone heard the two of them screaming at each other. It was pretty intense."
Davis has come under close public scrutiny the last two weeks for his unorthodox decision to use only Chad Nelligan, Christopher Hester, and Izzie Frau as starting pitchers. The other two starting pitchers, Isaac Diehl and Peter Bird, were dropped from the rotation and went almost completely unused over the last 12 games.
"I heard Shultz screaming at Davis, asking why he was ruining the franchise arms. Davis was yelling back that he was only doing what he thought Shultz wanted. It was a mess," confided the source. Apparently, Shultz wanted Davis to go to a four-man rotation but Davis apparently misunderstood and instead used a three-man rotation. When Shultz returned from a two-week vacation on his private island in the Caribbean, he found out what Davis had done and went ballistic. The heated argument was the result.
Monarchs spokeswoman Katie Shultz, daughter of the team patriarch, refused to comment other than to say, "Daddy and Mr. Davis had a nice talk."
