Two things can be true at once. TLR was 100% wrong in how he handled the 3-0 count/HR situation with Yermin. Basically the entire roster sided with Yermin over Tony. It was dumb then and it's still dumb now. Under no circumstance should that situation lead someone to retire from the sport. Yermin had an incredible 6 week run or whatever it was, but decided he was "above" making adjustments at the plate, wanted to keep doing his own thing, and it led to him going back to AAA. If TLR throwing him under the bus was really his mental downfall, he didn't have much of a future with MLB to start with... I wish the best for him, he's clearing upset with something and if he's not happy....go find that happiness.7 points

TLR shit all over him publicly after a 3-0 pitch. He was on fucking fire leading up to that moment. Everything went down hill for him from there. None of us have any idea how he took that mentally, so you can't really say there is zero possibility what TLR did had any impact on him. Clearly things changed for him after that moment. Maybe it was TLR crusty old ass, or it was the league adjusting to him, or he was never that good in the first place. We probably will never know and only Yermin knows for sure. Hopefully he's ok mentally. That's the most important thing.7 points

This is not aimed at any poster in particular. But the fact that basically one hot week from Moncada can bring this round of recriminations and reversals speaks volumes to the depth of analysis behind the Moncada "hate." There's no reason to change your fundamental opinion of Moncada based on three HRs or a short hot streak. He was awesome before and he's still awesome.7 points

Yoan Moncada is currently ranks 30th of qualified hitters in terms of wRC+ at 136. Heās also ranked 29th in overall defensive value and 17th in fWAR. Heās currently on pace for a 5 to 6 win season. His ceiling may be higher simply because heās one of the most physically gifted players in the game, but heās hands down been our best position player and one of the best in baseball. The hot takes in this thread about him are an absolute abomination.7 points

If Tony wasnāt stuck in the fucking 80ās the game is still tied btw. EVERY other team puts on a pull shift against Donaldson5 points

It also means retreat. The lack of diversity on this site is hilarious and unsurprising.5 points

I will root for Yermin until the end of his career. He has worked his ass off in the minirs for a decade. He also carried the whole team on his back the first 6 weeks. I hope he catches on somewhere. Burger and Sheets , not only because of their good starts with the bat, but also because of their ability to play a defensive position have pretty much buried him on the depth chart.5 points

The nonchalant trout of Abreu panning to Timmy and especially Moncada going absolutely nuts is fucking amazing. I love this team, man.5 points

As the creator of this thread, I just wanna take a moment to pour one out for the people who thought the translation was inaccurate, and it didnāt actually mean he was retiring.4 points

Retiro means retirement in Spanish as I am a Spanish speaker. However to these players that have Urban influenced lingo it might either mean moving on from White Sox since his Sox stuff was removed or just a slogan for almost done with season4 points

This guy's WAR is only slightly higher than Jose Ramirez'. What a huge disappointment. I had high hopes for Yoan Moncada. I can't believe the Sox traded Chris Sale for him and that hack Kopech, who Donaldson just teed off of last night. Robbed.4 points

Hopefully the Sox. That's a lot of pay for a 34 YO reliever on a market rate (at best) deal. Guy makes more than Liam on an AAV basis.4 points

Ah, the post from all of last week when Parkman said if the Sox hadnāt signed him to an extension they probably wouldnāt even pick up his option lol4 points

Look, Iām not blaming Tony for this decision, but I wonāt give him a free pass for humiliating his player publicly and telling the other teams itās ok to throw at his guys. Doesnāt matter what level of sports this is, manage your shit in the clubhouse and not in the media. And never, under any circumstance tell the other team they can throw a 90+ MPH projectile at one of your guys. I hate defending a guy like Law, but if thatās what heās referring to then Iām in agreement with him.3 points

That pitch Cease threw to Donaldson with first base open was unforgivable. He and half this bullpen would have no business on a playoff roster. If Cease happened to turn into Tell Me A Trevor Story would be fine by me. For comfort, I'm still playing last night's fantastic call of Sheet's walkoff by Len Kasper. It was Brickhouse-Caray-Harrelson-esque.3 points

Iāve heard the Marlins GM Kim Ng is interested in Yermin. Both (Lopez) have a good opportunity at playing time / revitalizing their careers down there, Yermin with the DH once baseball resumes post CBA.3 points

It feels like you are week to week with the guy. He has done nothing but be awesome all year and just last week you were ready to bounce him for Jake Burger. And he is a left handed power hitting middle of the order hitter which makes it all the more baffling. Let the guy play3 points

Frazier is an average player in a career year fueled by numbers that look anomalous. I wouldn't even be sure he will sustain the production in the final two months of THIS season, let alone being viable next year.3 points

Keith Law is such a choch2 points

Cease wasn't sharp tonight but to be playing one of the most extreme pull hitters in baseball straight up in that position was insane. Those 2 runs were entirely preventable. It's a subtle thing but the lack of shifting has really hurt the Sox this year.2 points

This whole saga trying to figure out what Yermin is saying reminds me of that satirical ESPN bit back in the day where Barry Sanders says he called his coach and said "I'm tired", but the coach thought he said "I'm retired".2 points

Including, amazingly, our own. Like, our own front office picked Collins over Lucroy. Why would they about face now when Collins is the personal catcher for the best pitcher in the AL?2 points
