Steff Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 QUOTE(JimH @ May 2, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) Rondell has a meaner look to him, that's for sure. I would wager some experience as well. Garland, who I've been in a social setting with, seems like one to cry at a hangnail. JMO.. of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 QUOTE(Steff @ May 2, 2005 -> 11:46 AM) Which is it.. he had no intention of going at him.. or he pulled a "hold me back..." It's the same thing, he had no intention of going at him hence he tried to act tough by acting as if he needed to be held back. Had no one touched White, I guarantee he wouldn't have charged the mound. And had he, he woulda been treated like Robin Ventura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had no intention of actually going at Jon but pulled a hold me back so he looked like tough s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Anyway, it's pointless to argue about who would win a fight. Bottom line is, Rondell White needs to be knocked on his ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this a 'moot' point??? but if they were to tango...Garland has a reach advantage, so if he can effectively use his jab and stick and move I would give the edge to Garland. But if Rondell can get inside and use his uppercut swing as an advantage...I MEAN SERIOUSLY THIS IS MORONIC!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Guess there must have been more to the "altercation" than I saw. I saw him point the bat and say what he wanted to say and return to the box. I don't understand why everyone came on the field anyway. LMAO.. White would have gotten treated like Ventura.. that's funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 White had no intention of going out there, and thank God for that. Garland might have been killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Garland (or the White Sox depending how you look at it) sent the message. Sox pitchers still need to pitch a bit more aggressively inside, IMO. Just make the opposition batters move their feet a bit more often. Some guys deserve to be dusted off ... a good example would be Torii Hunter. Most other guys, just make them move their feet and that should do the job. I thought Garland handled it well after the game, saying it was nothing personal or nothing against the Tigers. He of course couldn't say he was sending a message but it was pretty obvious. I don't blame Rondell White for reacting the way he did, nor do I blame him for not charging the mound. These guys don't really want to get suspended. Sometimes it's just as effective for the hitter to get all puffed up, yell a bit and make like you're willing to charge the mound. Personally I don't think White is afraid of much of anything, and I don't think he wants to put his team in a bad spot by starting a brawl and getting guys suspended. Especially since he commented that someone on his team was gonna get plunked. White is a pro's pro, he knows it's part of the game. Just as Garland knows it is part of the game for White to yell and posture and puff out his chest. Further, I have no doubt Garland would throw behind White again if the need arose. He's plunked guys before ... that part of being aggressive was never his problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Who would have kicked who's ass is pretty pointless. With all the HBP's our hitters have had lately, it's about someone stepped up and sent a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 who is the one sox player past or present you'd send ot the mound? I want to say Frank but his agility would be in question. I'm going with Jose Valentin. It seems like he could mix it up if he had to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
