This is about the team meeting they had: Christopher Crawford ‏@CVCrawfordBP 59m59 minutes ago San Diego, CA Karl Ravech was just on television saying the White Sox were willing to boycott their ST game over this Laroche situation. That's..something http://www.businessinsider.com/white-sox-p...-laroche-2016-3 "This is a team that was not going to go out and practice," Ravech said. "And furthermore, this was a team that ultimately said to the manager 'we're not going to go out and play in that game at 1:00.' You had a team that was willing to stand by the player and not participate in practice, and moreso, not participate in an exhibition game." The only thing that kept the players from boycotting was manager Robin Ventura who told that he needed them to play for him, that it was his job and it was their job. At that point, the players relented.

I am with the Sox on all of this. Though it should be said that if LaRoche had a .840 OPS last year and Kenny did this, causing him to leave...every Sox fan would be up in arms at Kenny, siding with Adam

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 2m2 minutes ago Source: LaRoche told #WhiteSox yesterday he would take a “couple of days” before making final decision on retirement.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 17s17 seconds ago Sources: LaRoche chose to retire after #WhiteSox prez Ken Williams told him that he no longer could bring 14-year-old son into clubhouse. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 16s16 seconds ago LaRoche’s son, Drake, 14, has traveled with him for several years. Adam, in a Chicago Tribune story last year, called him team’s “26th man.” Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 37s38 seconds ago LaRoche’s friend, #Brewers pitcher Blaine Boyer: “He’s an unbelievable father, an unbelievable husband, a friend you can only dream of.” Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 4s4 seconds ago “…it’s an unbelievable test of who he is, the husband he is, the father he is.” Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 22s22 seconds ago Boyer added: “I honestly think this is between good and evil. I know which side Adam lives on. I’m thankful to see the way he’s acting…

i basically see nothing of this from LaRoche's angle-- except this....you KNOW that before they signed him, this was discussed..and the Sox let the kid be there for a year So i wonder if laroche had hit .307 last year if this was going to be a policy switch or not.

id hate it if my kid saw me bat .207 daily

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 01:39 PM) I wouldn't want my kids growing up around Lawrie and Latos either lawrie taught the kid Edward 40hands lol

i am a parent. i have this crazy idea but maybe the kid should be in a school. daily suffering builds character dammit

This isn't http://DKChicagoSports.com , right? Dejan Kovacevic ‏@Dejan_Kovacevic 7m7 minutes ago Sarasota, FL There's a LOT more to this Adam LaRoche retirement, from what I've heard. And it really stinks on the @WhiteSox end. All I'm sayin'. For what it's worth, this guy has 100K followers & a checkmark.

i feel like 'cant laroche just retire' was an often heard hopeless sigh here most this past offseason

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 02:22 PM) "Like with Cuddyer’s retirement, it almost certainly comes with a buyout, so he’s actually not walking away from that much money. In other words, LaRoche probably chose something like $5-10 million to be home with his kids over $12 million to sit on the bench." From the comments section on a Fangraphs article, so the Sox may not be getting back as much money as expected from this decision. i guess, but i thought he was going to play a lot. vs. righties.

Doubt many will agree with me but unless we do something.. this hurts us. He was an OBP bounceback candidate for us. He had a more reasonable bounceback possibility than Garcia, who has no track record (vs righties) to bounce back to, really

reopen ethier talk?

Nice play by Jackson in center

weeks, danks and brian anderson are all present and were all drafted within 13 spots of each other. danks' career is fighting to be either 2nd or 3rd most 'over' of that group

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 9s9 seconds ago In addition to playing Cubs, #WhiteSox also have B game in Surprise Saturday (10 a.m.). Mat Latos and Matt Albers expected to pitch.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 10:26 AM) Right now Beck is behind Sale Quintana Rodon Danks Latos Turner Johnson Maybe Scott Carroll? The thing with Turner and Johnson though is that we've seen their lowest lows in pro ball already, whereas Beck still hasnt wildly slipped. You could see him leapfrogging those two even by midyear this year and being someone they actually want to keep caring about.

omar narvaez might have it all if only he didnt have an ISO of like 0

'16 White Sox offense was introduced to '15 White Sox offense and they're not even able to communicate in the same language

So is the jacob turner dream dying right now? i am tuning in and seeing ten men on the mound

THE PANIC IS BACK: Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan now Change to #WhiteSox pitching plan: Erik Johnson, not Mat Latos, starting Saturday at Cubs.
