Re: MLB Off-Topic

Exactly, the teammates didn't have a single issue with it.

Local media here in Chicago is reporting that other players going to management about it is the primary thing that brought this whole thing on.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

So there is this...

White Sox players considered boycott to support Adam LaRoche



And then there's this...

As @jeffpassan said, Sale was vocal in meeting between #WhiteSox players and Williams on LaRoche. 1/2

********

Sale told Williams, unequivocally, to get out of the clubhouse and stay out, per a source. Williams acknowledges meeting was passionate. 2/2

"The lesson being taught to this kid is that if you don't get everything you want your way, quit. Great parenting."

Saw that quote and agree. This is an 8th grade kid that has also missed 3 weeks of school just to "hang out" at daddy's work. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Lol, if they had actually boycotted that would have been amazingly stupid. Talk about not having your priorities straight. And Sale is a moron.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Reading what the VP had to say, this whole thing has become ridiculous.

He never said, don't bring the kid. He said bring him occasionally. Sometimes. Not all the time.

And Laroche turned it into a spectacle. I think he's half right, he should be able to bring his kid. But he's wrong in thinking he should be able to do it every game and then want to retire because he didn't like their ruling on it.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

LaRoche is why we can't have nice things. One guy stretches the freedom of being a ballplayer and having your kids in the dugout to every game.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Saw he had a .362 OBP. Billy Beane might take a look at him.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Yea I just saw the clip from the Chicago media, it's obvious we've publically heard from the minority of players, not the majority.

Exactly.
Everyone probably brings their kid to work at least once....and if it's a great environment(eg....a baseball stadium!!!)....much more.
But to pout and quit because he was told to cool it a little.
Pretty pissy.

and yeah....like kehlis said....he had his own locker?
Pretty cool and something the kid will never forget.
I'd say the CWS front office treated them pretty well.
If I was LaRoche's son...I'd be like...
..."I can never go again because you retired?...you're such a DICK!"

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I'm sure we're only hearing for the minority but, the White Sox players sound like a bunch of petulant manchildren.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Earlier I said I don't have a problem with either side taking the stance they did but I think my opinion will change vastly if it were to somehow split the clubhouse into pro LaRoche/con LaRoche camps.
