Robin just needs to go away.

I'd hope Robin took Rios out for loafing. If so I forever LOVE Robin Ventura. You will not hear me criticize Robin again if this is the case. Seriously.

However, like some of you said it might be coincidence and he might be traded.

 

Greg, let's trade Rios for Buehrle

Good one!

Any idea what the specifics are?

 

Concussion related vision problems

I really think people are just seeing others say on twitter that he was hugging teammates and reporting it as fact.

Alright it sounds like Rios did indeed hug his teamates

See previous tweet. Alex Rios hugging teammates. Leaves game.

Hmm. Badler retweeting too. Maybe legit?

That last tweet was as legit as I found.

Damn, and here I was thinking I'd get some exercise in after the game.

Exercise during the game!

Was rios pulled immediately after not running out the grounder?

Nope.

s*** I was at work during the Thornton trade(night shift) and I'm about to leave again

Was rios pulled immediately after not running out the grounder?

 

Nope, a full inning after

Alen Hanson, Pirates SS prospect, pulled from his game nearly the same time Rios pulled from this one. Coincidence? Stay tuned.

Already stated by some of us. But I sure hope this is linked.

Nope.

Seems strange to me to bench him for that a couple innings after the offense

Can the Sox promote Courtney Hawkins for this series just to see him face Kimbrel?

So if Hanson is the main guy in the trade, how would you feel about it? He was #39 on BA's top 50 midseason list

Sounds good to me. Btw its going to suck to see Rios go. One of my favorite players on this team.

Extremely pleased.

Since it was the 3rd out of the inning he just went out to RF directly and did not head back to the dugout after the double play.

It's funny how everyone is saying that Rios hugged his teammates except for anyone in the Chicago media.

All of them dont seem to know what the hell is going on

Yeah you would think they would know before others.. Need to see if he is on the bench or in the clubhouse gathering his things

Hell, he shouldn't be on the bench if he was pulled for hustling either. Hit the showers and go away.

Fantastic. Head over heels fantastic.

 

Premium prospect, premium position...even if his defense forces a move to 2B.

No way it's true, as we all know Rios doesn't like anyone and would never hug them!
