The only reason I remember it was Morneau talked so much shit about the Sox and then literally couldn't find any other team who wanted him.

You are arguing a point that literally no one made. No one thinks the season is over. It hasn't been said. You invented something to be mad about, made a bad argument to support it, and are now salty about everything but your own strawman being burnt down.

Lynn missed his spot by 2 feet.

Not hustling? That's a paddlin

Got that one.

Come on. If this was really a thing, do you really think the players would be showing up TLR on social media?

This isn't actually a thing.

They are in Chicago watching the game on TVs.

Rinse, repeat.

I will allow it.

How about adding NOT and LaRussa.

There are like two people you can't lose in this clubhouse and Tim Anderson is the other one.

You notice this example comes from the early 1970's, right?

Well thankfully the Twins have been satisfied here.

Even I didn't go there.

The problem is that Tony's quotes are all about swingning 3-0 and not about disregarding the take sign.

All he had to say was "we talked about it" or "no comment" and say whatever he wanted to behind closed doors. This is the worst of both worlds.

Laugh all you want, but if my boss shit on me publicly like that, I would find another job. I sure as hell wouldn't be nearly as productive at my workplace in the meantime because I would be too busy seething at what an asshole he was. Obviously baseball doesn't give Yermin the freedom to move around, but every single person in that clubhouse now knows their boss cares about some 20th century concept that he doesn't follow in his own life, more than he cares about their public reputations. That isn't conducive to a good team environment. The 70s are gone.

This is exactly how you lose a clubhouse.

Except you can already see one player PUBLICLY showing he isn't a fan of what is happening to Yermin. For everyone that is willing to make a public statement, how many aren't?

Short GME.

Even Ozzie Guillen got that you take your players backs publicly every single time. If you have to bawl someone out, you do it in the locker room behind closed doors and don't show up your players in public.

Fines go to the Soxtalk Administrators Pension Fund.

When everyone told me that Tony would have the players backs, little did it I know it would be the other team's players.

Again Yermin Mercedes gets punished more for swinging 3-0 than TLR gets for drunk driving.
