Adam LaRoche and his son

Sale is a drama queen.

 

"We were rolling,’’ Sale said. “We had positive energy in here. Nobody saw anything as a distraction until all this happened. There was absolutely no problem in here whatsoever with anyone. And (Williams) kind of created a problem.

“We're missing two big pieces to our puzzle, plain and simple."

Two?

 

Nightengale with anonymous management sources trying to sell the same exact story Williams tried to sell originally. Not sure that advances the story an inch. Heck, Williams may be his source.

 

Bullshit.

Nightingale didn't speak to a single person who told him they had a problem with the situation.

He has it second hand, from anonymous "officials" whose own veracity and biases we have no way to gauge.

Go report it yourself Bob, otherwise you're just adding to the "narrative".

 

Second-hand. And possibly third-hand. "Baseball officials" sounds like management to me.

 

I do have to wonder if this whole thing would have happened if LaRoche had been anything better than one of the least valuable players in the AL last year. Would the Sox have changed course and (apparently) backed out of a handshake agreement to let the kid in the clubhouse whenever he wanted? If LaRoche had better reason to believe he could still hit and could therefore be an important player on a good team, would he have walked away?

 

As Moddy mentioned early on, this never happens if he hit 25 home runs in 2015.

 

Either say you're saying that tongue-in-cheek, or explain how you know the kid is a pain in the ass. Don't think that's asking too much.

 

The kid is a pain in the ass by being in the workplace of 24-30 other adults for 3/4 of the season. Adults shouldn't have to temper their personalities to accommodate a 13-year old kid.

Not all adults are as enamored with my kids as I am. Nor LaRochee's kid. The Duck Dynasty dad is tone deaf.

 

He didn't. He hit .207 playing in a production position. He sucked.

He and his pain in the ass kid aren't worth the hassle. Its a win-win for everybody. He can "home school" his boy, and spend every waking minute with him, and the Sox can perhaps find some actual production for $13 million.

 

In case there was ever any doubt about baseball players being far from intellectually advanced, here's this nugget from Adam Eaton:

"We lost a leader in Drake, which is crazy enough that a 14-year-old could be looked at like that, but the kid was so tremendous."

What in the everloving hell ...

 

These guys are fucking insane.
