It's either the pistol or poison for suicide. Would you rather have Rowand who is struggling as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmr31 Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Rowand or Rios. It's either the pistol or poison for suicide. Would you rather have Rowand who is struggling as well? I think his point is, even if rowand goes 0 for 5, you need to punish a player for not being a team player. Its called leadership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggio202 Posted April 26, 2003 Author Share Posted April 26, 2003 no i dont want rowand either..but what rios did demanded a benching...let him get away with it and youll see that s*** all year long...which is basically what we have seen..even if rois is the hero tonight in the long run this hurts the team...when youre told to bunt by the manager you bunt..if you cant do that you sit...unless you play for jerry manuel..in that case just do what you want and try and pad your stats..its all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AssHatSoxFan Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 rios did a poor job of helping us last night i think rowand needs to play and show that he is the team player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 WTF, we want Rowand the epitome of an out patrolling center? Are you people insane? Yeah, Rios didn't get the bunt down, accidents happen. He's been more consistent than Rowand, and deserves the PT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Rios didn't get the bunt down, accidents happen. He's been more consistent than Rowand, and deserves the PT. if you watgched rios at bat it was no accident he didnt get the bunt...he let a perfect pitch to bunt go by..then left the bat back so his next bunt went foul....also go ask the giant fans about rios...this wouldnt be the first time rios pulled something like this..he was known as a pretty good hitter there...decent in the field but had a bad attitude.. if you dopnt put a guy like that in check as soon as these thngs crop up then they become the norm..thats why rowand should have gotten the start...but if this org had any brains borchard would be out there in CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well see who comes out on top. Rowand sucks... roman..no one is denying rowand sucks..but what you would doing is just like a parent who says if you do that one more im gonna ground you...and the kid does it and then you dont follow through....when a bunt sign is given the player asked to bunt has to do everything in his power to get the bunt down...no excuses..if he fails in giving a 100% effort he has to sit..im not saying forever but for maybe 2 games... tejada did a few things similiar in the early part of last season...wasnt hustling , wasnt listening...art howe benched him 4 games...he came back and won the AL MVP...see what a little motivation can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshPR Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Rios today showed more team spirt than many other wimps we got. At least rios came from Center and got into it with Hawkins. Where was Konerko? In the Batting Cages? Jerry Manuels Passive aproach kills me. His pitcher gets thrown out for no reason and he goews out to the mound so like a little dweeb and don't say a word. Hawk was madder then Manuel. Sheesh, In these moments players need to feel backed by there Manager , that's how he earns there respect. At least if it was me it would be like that MINNY!!!!! :fyou !!
