Adam LaRoche retires
QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 12:55 AM) FWIW, ever since this LaRoche thing has happened, Eaton has not hit the ball... At all. He seems to be the main issue right. Dude needs to grow up & it needs to happen quickly. There was a home run prior to the LaRoche issue where Rollins knocked in Eaton and Eaton stayed at the plate to high five him. Definitely some tension still going on, which goes along with what Will Carroll reported.

Adam LaRoche retires
Saw a great thread on SSS about Eaton failing to give Rollins a high five after the homer yesterday. Looks like a pathetic move by Eaton. http://m.mlb.com/video/v561249483/sfcws-ro...?game_pk=469676

Discouraging from Latos. Average high fastballs with no movement is a bad recipe.

2016-2017 NFL Thread
QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 07:03 PM) Don't like the PAT rule. With all the FGs the game is already too dependent on kickers. Now we have teams losing games because of missed PATs. My rule would be that you can just have the 7th point for free--no play of any kind necessary, or you can put the ball down at the 2 yard line and go for 2. You just don't want to have coaches have the chance to go for 2 too early

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 04:03 AM) This is boring chants during the Ambrose/Stroman match lol I really can't believe they don't have two better faces than Reigns and Ambrose. I really wish they'd stop forcing Ambrose on us against bigger guys, as nothing he does in the ring is believable.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 01:39 AM) Did they add crowd noise tonight? That's lame. Usually they don't do that s*** on Raw only Smackdown. But wouldn't surprise me either, anything to get Roman over. Think it's just the usual great Philly crowd

Adam LaRoche retires
QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 01:01 AM) That sort of response would be the same to Williams apparently flipping out on LaRoche and telling Drake is done, only to pull back on the ruling after he calmed down. This will all be over by the time ST is over, you aren't trading two of your best players because of it. How would that go over in the clubhouse? If, and we all hope it's not true, they continue to pester their teammates about it, then they are creating a bad environment and you can't let that last into the season. Hopefully this all disappears soon.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 10:57 PM) Easy killer. To me it would just illustrate continued immaturity and a lack of commitment to bringing together the clubhouse due to a 14 year old kid.

If Sale and Eaton are harassing their teammates in this "witch hunt", then they really should be traded.

March 21 spring training games thread
Bernie Pleskoff @BerniePleskoff 5m5 minutes ago IMO Austin Jackson will be a big, big help to #WhiteSox pitchers at Cellular One and on the road. Can really go get the ball. Speed/range. Bernie Pleskoff @BerniePleskoff 6m6 minutes ago #WhiteSox Austin Jackson tracks a ball in CF as well as anyone. Just took a drive out of the air from the bat of #Indians Aguilar. Well done

White Sox sign Jimmy Rollins
QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) Oh great. Who do people want to be the SS? I think Saladino would be my choice but I feel like Robin will go with Rollins Of course it's Rollins.

Adam LaRoche retires
QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 07:32 PM) Which is not surprising in the least, and the reason Williams handled this in the first place. Poorly, but it's why he was the person to handle it. Yep, but it's also where Ventura now needs to make sure the "witch hunt" isn't happening.

Oh yay, a player told Will Carroll there's a "witch hunt" to see who complained https://www.fanduel.com/insider/2016/03/21/...-sox-clubhouse/

Sumner on Xavier is the dumbest player I have seen in the tournament. With that said, it was a horrible charge call. Refs sucked in TAMU game as well.

Beachem also shoved the guy out of the way on that last rebound, but I think the refs already showed with the Woodbury call that they're afraid to make that call. I'm fine with that if they're consistent, but there was way more contact than the over the back with a minute left.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 20, 2016 -> 09:03 PM) Post a .gif of a ref signalling jump ball, otherwise I'm going with the NCAA over Verne Lundquist. So what's the actual call? It clearly wasn't just a rebound by Colson and then a deadball (when the guy was already on the ground). Lundquist didn't say anything, he was too busy yelling at other things probably. And note I said this right away when the 2nd half started, so it's not like an after-the-fact type comment.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 20, 2016 -> 09:01 PM) The bogus charge call on Vasturia was another part of the ref's secret plan to help ND. Refs have been doing their best to give trailing teams the best chance to comeback. Helps/hurts teams at different points.
