Devonte Graham Jersey .MLB executive Joe Torre sent a memo Friday to managers, general managers and assistant general managers that said: This highly inappropriate conduct is detrimental to the game and must stop immediately.The memo was obtained Saturday by The Associated Press.Im still going to react to what I see in front of me, Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said Saturday night.Torre, a Hall of Fame manager and former NL MVP, said skippers are increasingly relying on technology from the clubhouse or video room to argue from the dugout. Every pitch and play is monitored by teams in case they want to challenge for a replay review.He called that an express violation of the Replay Regulations, which state that `on-field personnel in the dugout may not discuss any issue with individuals in their video review room using the dugout phone other than whether to challenge a play subject to video replay review.Although disagreements over ball and strike calls are natural, the prevalence of manager ejections simply cannot continue, Torre wrote. This conduct not only delays the game, but it also has the propensity to undermine the integrity of the umpires on the field.Ausmus was ejected for arguing balls and strikes and covered home plate with a sweat shirt earlier this season, and Boston manager John Farrell was tossed during an animated dispute alongside Red Sox slugger David Ortiz.Earlier this month, Cubs manager Joe Maddon was ejected while arguing from the dugout.On Friday night, Oakland manager Bob Melvin and San Francisco skipper Bruce Bochy got tossed for arguing balls and strikes along with players on their respective teams. Cincinnati manager Bryan Price was ejected Saturday on a dispute about a foul ball.Torre concluded by advising that any manager or coach ejected for arguing balls and strikes hereafter will be disciplined, including at least a fine.Joes the boss, so I guess wed better cool it, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Theres just some days you cant stand over there and not say something. Theyre always making additions, and I get speeding the game up and sometimes that sort of thing slows it down, so itll take a little while to walk through that and see exactly how to play it. But you cant take the emotion out of the game. Joe knows that as well as everybody, but I understand where hes coming from.Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said Torres the memo is a very, very good reminder -- a very strong reminder -- that youre going to get fined or whatevers going to happen if you choose that route. Thats fair.One of the great things about having him in this position (is) hes been in the dugout and he is where he is. I dont know what that lens looks like where he is, but I understand I definitely dont try and do his job, Hurdle said before the Pirates played at Washington on Sunday.I listen to him and I try to honor everything that he throws out there. And I think he can respect also the feelings you have to have in the dugout if you feel things arent working out the way that youd want them to work out or youre not getting calls or youre on the short end of calls sometimes. He just let us know if you go that route whats going to happen, he said.---AP freelance writer Dave Hogg in Detroit and AP Sports Writers R.B.

Brisbane Roar coach John Aloisi says he wont be afraid to divulge from the A-League clubs core Roarcelona philosophy in future if it means better results.The Roar outclassed Melbourne City on Friday night to record a comfortable 1-0 victory at Suncorp Stadium, their third on the trot.But it was an unfamiliar tactical approach that got them there, with the Roar happy to play on the break instead of their normal high-possession game.Ever since the days of Ange Postecoglou, and particularly at home, Brisbane has always looked to dictate terms and control the ball.However, Aloisi was content to let Melbourne City have 60 per cent of possession, knowing the visitors would struggle to break down their disciplined defence and that opportunities to counter-attack would beckon as a consequence.City coach John van t Schip accused the Roar of parking the bus but Aloisi explained they were a little more nuanced than that, and made no apologies for making what he said were effective changes.Different games, you have to play differently. Youre going to come up against different sorts of teams, he said.We had to play to the way we thought we were going to win the game.Well still try and stick to our sttructures.

I wouldnt say we sat deep, we werent parking the bus on the 18 - we were in the (middle) third and we made it really hard for them to create space in the midfield.As a whole I thought we defended really well from front to back and when youre stopping a team and players like they have to virtually not having a shot on goal, you can say its a good performance.The Roar travel to face Adelaide United next week but will be without star striker Jamie Maclaren, who will link up with the Socceroos after scoring his second A-League goal in as many weeks.That means Aloisi will be forced to find a temporary new frontman, although he has an array of options at his fingertips.Spanish import Arana, the versatile Dimi Petratos, winger Brandon Borrello or youngsters Joey Katabian and Nick DAgostino are all possibilities.We knew that coming into the season we could lose Macca to the national team.You have to make sure youve got cover and depth in your squad, Aloisi said.You saw the attacking options I had on the bench. We had some firepower to come on.
