-- Pedro Martinez called out the Yankees on Twitter Tuesday night, saying the team lacks energy and players aren't hustling.
"The Yankees don't seem to have the energy of a winning team. I understand some key players are injured, but they don't seem to be hustling out there," he tweeted.
Martinez also tweeted, "When you see a team that goes out there with energy, you see they carry momentum, they hustle, and they're happy to be out there competing."
"Imagine a son thinking he can critique his father like this," someone replied to the tweet.
Martinez then tweeted the Nationals "don't lack energy but I don't think they are totally healthy," and said Khris Davis reminds him of Manny Ramirez.
