2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

[paradise50]

It's cool but kinda weird to not let your kid grow up around other kids. I could see doing this during the summer but all season is odd.


But the white sox should've made this an issue before signing him last year. If he has been doing this don't be a **** during the last year of his contract. That ******* wanted Laroche to retire or ask for a buyout. Seems fishy



Anyway go Nats!

 

[celticspride34]

I mean... I can understand not wanting a 14 year old kid around the club house every day... It's not spring training or once a week type deal...

 

[lovehateself]

 

Home schooled kids always end up weird AF...

for real

can't have a kid grow up with no social interaction with other kids

the kid's on the right track to have a clubhouse job though. 

scumbag move by williams though

 

[dmxfury]

Fair enough Celtic

Also true




As much as I go at Barry, I'm watching the four days in October and that Alex ball 'slap'.


Barry may have his negative attributes but he'd never pull the pansy a-- stuff that Rodriguez did through out his career

 

[Hahahaha]

You can't compare the flaws of Alex and Barry. They're mad different, come from very different backgrounds. Two GOATs though. Alex is a changed man. My guy just wanted to be loved and win. He's achieved both now.


I agree, no kid needs to be in the dugout unless it's like once every two weeks or something. If it's daily, that's a problem.

He is, and always will be, a scumbag...

 

[dmxfury]

Not being a jerk but what in Alex's background causes him to 'ha' and slap the ball out of a glove?

 

[JCMojica24]

@Jewbacca2 you think we should start setting up the league?

Let me get this straight..Laroche retired and left $13 million on the table because they wouldn't allow his son in the clubhouse this year?

man bye

 

[Hahahaha]

He didn't have a father to teach him that it wasn't allowed?

Nah, seriously that was awful. No excuse for that. When it happened I did one of those embarrassed laughs. Like ****, did this really just happen?

For real
Gotta respect that from a family perspective, but to walk away from 13 mil, damn
Every team has their own rules. You can't get mad at the sox for their decision, it's not bring your son to work every day

Good for you Roche! Nothing like father and son in the clubhouse..It's a FAMILY game #FamilyFirst

Chipper Jones (@RealCJ10)
Big ups to my boy @e3laroche for standing up for his beliefs. We play a GAME! Good for u brother. #FamilyFirst

Chicago Tribune (@chicagotribune)
Leave his son out of it; Adam LaRoche was looking for a reason to retire, writes @DavidHaugh trib.in/21wEaAY

 

[GreenNGold89]

If he decided to come back, would he still be under contract with the white sox for 1 year?

 

[macbk]

Not too sure, but I would think he is voiding his contract by retiring, no?

 

[703 hwy]

That **** gotta be annoying. Like damn every single day dude. It's not like he's just watching every game he's literally moving around with the team. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

just heard that he might have had a clause in the contract stating his son could be in the clubhouse everyday.

if so, the players union will get involved, he'll recoup some money or be allowed to sign elsewhere

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I hope he sues the White Sox

 

[rook]

White Sox prolly did that to avoid paying him $13 mill now that I think about it

 

[Mr.Guy]

Man for 13 mil my son would be at home.

Shouldn't his son be in school?

I honestly am leaning towards siding with the White Sox. Can't knock a man for wanting his son around, but when it comes to work and prep for the season ahead, there has to be a line drawn.

 

[rook]

I read he home schools his son basically.
