Rare Beef

Terry Kennedy, the Padres' All-Star catcher, has decided to let everyone know he's no fan of Dick Williams. Kennedy says he's tired of his manager second-guessing his pitch selection.

"If they don't like what I'm doing back there," he said last week, "they can either get somebody else or call the pitches themselves."

Kennedy is also tired of listening to Williams tell him he has to pull the ball more. "I'm going back to hitting my way," he said. "I have to hit to all fields. When I try to pull everything I hit a lot of ground balls to the second baseman."
