Josh Hamilton Drinking Again

Re: Josh Hamilton Drinking Again

I'm surprised more isn't being said about him (allegedly) cheating on his wife.

Wow I didn't know about that aspect of the story and I agree with DrJones. You'd think he'd be smart enough to do something like that away from the "home" town. I wouldn't go so far as to call him a tool but one has to wonder what's going on in his mind to be drinking again and cheating on his wife. (if true)

I thought the Rangers had hired someone to be with him almost all the time? I guess that guy isn't doing his job or he only works during the season. I remember seeing a story both in print and on TV all about that.

I'm glad the now banned idiot had some sort of link to his rumor (of course, that's why he's banned now). If it were true, you would hear a lot more from the Metroplex press right now.

He did. The guy's name is Jerry Narron, but he recently left the club to become the batting coach for the Milwaukee Brewers. The Rangers hired Hamilton's father-in-law to replace him, but he backed out after not wanting to miss his daughter's last year in high school. The team has since hired a new coach.

Geez I'd retire rather than have my father in law tailing me all day long.

It's in Dookie's link earlier in the thread.

That story isn't creditable at all. The whole thing about Kinsler and Hamilton is completely mangled up, and there seems to be eight different people telling six different stories. Again, I'll wait for a creditable news source.

Re: Josh Hamilton Drinking Again

I'll reserve judgement on Hamilton and the whole cheating topic, until I see some concrete evidence.

Re: Josh Hamilton Drinking Again

Thanks for the info on Narron Perfect Zero. I can see why he left as well, opportunities in coaching are few and far between.

You're not going to see "concrete evidence" because reputable sources don't report on athletes cheating (unless there's a criminal element involved), nor should they.

For that matter they shouldn't report on athletes having a couple drinks.

If what he does is in violation of his contract, they will.

Re: Josh Hamilton Drinking Again

So no drinking is written into his contract?

Umm... given his past shortcomings, I'd assume it's possible..

[tvman]

Re: Josh Hamilton Drinking Again

Yeah i guess it's possible they do but is it public knowledge?

[DamnYanks2]

Re: Josh Hamilton Drinking Again

So that's just a guess then?

Pretty sure I read he's not banned from it, but it's highly discouraged.

News that directly affects his baseball career is fair game. In this case, it does. There's little question that this slip is going to cost Hamilton a lot of dough down the road.
