Martin made it clear before Wednesday’s game against the Orioles at Camden Yards that he really didn’t want to speak to the media. “You guys trying to stir things up?” said manager John Gibbons, when he was asked about Martin not playing. The native of East York suggested that perhaps not playing more games behind the plate was a mistake. “I don’t feel a tick older than I did last year. But I honestly I feel I can still swing the bat as quickly, can still throw a ball just as hard, and I don’t feel like I’ve lost that much speed.
