The Braves went to the playoffs 15 years in a row with Booby Cox banning kids. Get rid of all of them.

And music.

I'm sure Sox management would have preferred to take the blame and not divide the clubhouse. This will only hurt the team now. It was why it should have stayed in house. Laroche destroyed the performance last year and will destroy the team this year by leaking it all out.

 

So does this make LaRoche the worst ever FA signing by the Sox?

 

So Sale told KW "get the f*** out of the clubhouse"? I feel bad for KW if Rollins/Avila really did tell him that the Drake stuff was getting old, and then Sale goes crazy on KW

It his job. This is what the president does. Takes the complaint for players comes up with a compromise and asks someone to respect the other players.

I actually think this might help the team on the field. It's not like a situation where Sale has to pass the ball to Jimmy Rollins. Baseball is an individual based team sport, if that makes sense. Sale can f***ing hate Rollins but it doesn't matter really on the field. It's not like Rollins isn't going to hustle for a ball in the hole because Sale is pitching.

Yes, HORRIBLE last season and potentially a worse impact this season.

i agree that is why i was saying that kw was taking the bullet for the whole thing.

 

he grew in many ways in my eyes.

This makes me miss Adam Dunn a little bit

When is Drake & Adam LaRoche bobblehead day at the Cell?

Not who I was thinking of but look at the new guys they brought in.

 

Frazier

Lawrie

Narvarro

Avila

Rollins

 

That's a lot of voices taking over for the quiet clubhouse outside of Adam Eatin before. Also notice that the best player on the team has yet be spoken to.

 

Chris Sale is the best player on the team, but you probably have a point. Most people who've been around teams say there's always something of a split between pitchers and position players.

You're all over the place man.

Am I the only one who thinks this won't impact their play on the field?

One thing I don't like hearing is Hahn and Ventura disagreed with Kenny's approach. Before anything was said, JR should have made sure it was a united front.

That's where starting hot is important. If this team plays the first month at 11-16, they'll self-destruct before June. This is where having a good manager would help, but they don't have one.

how can sale let alone anyone else have a problem with a what, 15+yr vet, who is respected....

Consistent with my amusingly-timed rant earlier this week about chemistry, I think it might but it could be good or bad. I mean again, we've all seen Major League and what happens when the players hate upper management.

It his job. This is what the president does. Takes the complaint for players comes up with a compromise and asks someone to respect the other players.

 

 

I agree and I think the Sox are completely in the right on this one, but man Kenny and Jerry have just showed way too often that they don't handle difficult situations well.

 

It's just always something with this team, and they have a bad habit of airing their dirty laundry.

 

 

So does this make LaRoche the worst ever FA signing by the Sox?

It will rank up there. Bad performance on the field and starting a battle in the clubhouse.

 

He really has turned out to be a very selfish individual. He will only play on his terms and will not sacrifice a few hours of his day without his son to help the team.

is this real life

Like White Sox Dave just tweeted, if the Sox let a 14 year old kid allowed in the clubhouse, then they are mental midgets and shouldn't be playing baseball.

 

I feel like this is so immature lol.

One thing I don't like hearing is Hahn and Ventura disagreed with Kenny's approach. Before anything was said, JR should have made sure it was a united front.

What is interesting is the Sale comment and the link you had earlier about a meeting concerning upper management access to the clubhouse. The most interesting part to me is it appears Robin is on the players side, which I would imagine lines up with Sale's alleged comments.

Because he's an immature ass with anger issues.

 

If the argument for limiting kids' access is more focus on work, the Sox are in the right for changing the rules. The horrible base-running that we saw last year alone seems to indicate that many of these guys had their heads up their rears under the previous rules.

Very true. But again if this leaked there isn't a united front. There will be changes before this is all done now that the details have been leaked to the media.

 

I hate to say it but it's going to be a difficult season, they can't have a divided clubhouse. This is going to be the year to prove that clubhouse chemistry does matter for the good or bad.

Classic good cop bad cop there. I wouldn't dwell on that.

I like where you are going with it as well but i was thinking the drugged up kid coming home from the dentist
