yeah ... and i know when they argued in the dugout in pittsburgh last year a lot of people were questioning wtf was going on with those two.
but you have to give credit that dukes - at least on the surface - looks to have changed his attitude and is a more positive, obedient player. in every post game interview it sounds like he's crediting his teammates in key points of the game and praising his manager (he's been doing that up here and in all the broadcasts I listened to while he was in AAA).
Acta never liked Dukes from the day he was first brought here. Rarely gave him props in the media and pretty much ignored him in the dugout/locker room.
It's good to see Dukes doing well on and off the field.
