Adam LaRoche retires
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 03:31 PM) I just don't know how people can buy whatever KW is selling. He had is first story he gave the press. Sale, whether you think he is crazy or not, said KW gave them 3 stories, and the Nightengale story was yet another different version. So there is 5 nor even counting whether buckets story is anything, but that would make it bucket #6 officially Bozo's Circus. Both KW and LaRoche are spinning their version of events. Both need to be gone, IMO.

3/19 vs Dodgers
Will there be a moment of silence for the LaRoche family prior to the game? Will Sale/Eaton be wearing a DL patch this year?

Adam LaRoche retires
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 04:25 PM) If it was breaking a previous agreement, yes. You keep saying this, but even LaRoche said he would address any complaints. For him to say he wouldn't address it if it came from KW or JR is absolutely ridiculous. Seems like selective reasoning in his retirement letter.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 04:25 PM) If it was breaking a previous agreement, yes. Besides, it doesn't appear KW has much respect from the clubhouse. Telander may be on to something. But the battles against KW didn't just begin. He appears he is turning into a Jerry Crumbs Krause type. The Bulls players and coaches hated Crumbs. Oh yeah, no doubt there are players that hated KW even before this and had no respect for him. I'm sure Sale thinks KW was tipping off his pitches to the Tigers.....kidding

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) I'm assuming Kenny didn't mention that others were upset. LaRoche didn't take it seriously because KW isn't a player or coach. I'm definitely not defending LaRoche, just wanted to point that out. I still can't believe this argument being made by the players and some on here. Do people really think if Theo had to tell Arrieta something that Arrieta would flat out blow off his request?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 02:54 PM) eaton basically said he thinks the sox are planting the story that players complained about drake. If he didn't get approval to be on after yesterday, he should be suspended for saying this.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 02:33 AM) SFA profits a lot from turnovers and ND does not turn the ball over much. ND also does not press and leave them a ton of wide open shots. ND would match up well as SFA has no shot blockers

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 01:19 AM) It is better they hate KW than Robin. So true, if they were mad at RV, they probably boycott a few games this week

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 01:00 AM) The one where now Nightengale says they agreed to let his son be around as much as he wanted when he signed. The big one. KW only let us know he told him to dial it back, he forgot he told him to not bring the kid around anymore. KW is full of s***. Yeah, both guys are wrong and leaving out parts of the truth, IMO. Whole situation sucks, I hope come Monday neither are with the organization anymore.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 01:55 AM) Wasn't there. Have no idea, still the Sox reneged on their deal according to another source. But that is cool because LaRoche sucks right? Which one you referring to?

Adam LaRoche retires
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 12:51 AM) No. Read his statement. He Sid if a teammate or manager came to him he would deal with it since the clubhouse is their office. It wasn't KW's . Did KW tell him a teammate or coach had a problem or did he just say there was a problem? And why did KW leave the whole entir ban out of his story. I think KW feeds Nightengale info and that falls in perfectly with Sales complaints about KW not being able to keep his story straight. Telling the players it was the coaches, thellimg the coaches it was the players and finally telling everyone it was JR. You really think KW didn't tell him there were complaints?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 12:43 AM) Nightingales story confirms La Roche wasn't lying. Well, he was lying that he would address it if there were any issues brought to his attention. Also sounds like KW might have changed the rules he agreed upon with Ventura/Hahn prior to the first meeting with LaRoche when he was angry, and that's what caused the rift with those guys. This has gone from a situation where neither LaRoche or KW was wrong to one where both were wrong.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 12:31 AM) If they want to handle this the right way, they can have at it, but we should never hear about it. Let this die publicly. Yep, if Sale keeps going off about it the next few weeks, I have no problem with them looking to trade him (as long as it's not to the Cubs)

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 12:27 AM) Logic tells me what we thought all along that Williams was simply falling on the sword for a number of people in the organization that didn't have the stones to make a fuss. However, the Sox clearly are not capable of pulling off something like with any sort of grace. It was totally botched. And who knows now if it becomes a witch hunt in the clubhouse by Sale and others to see who complained.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 01:18 AM) Good no call. The guy boxing out was so far under the hoop. Gave Woodbury a significantly easier player though

And if the story is true, LaRoche was looking for an easy out

And as was missing from his letter, LaRoche didn't adhere to the wishes like he said he would.
