I am high.

It’s not about being shady, it’s about doing as much as he can to abuse the system without getting caught (too often) and when he does get caught, he moves to a new school, leaving the sanctions behind him (see: UMass, Memphis).

In this case, if you want to take an otherwise straightforward rule that is designed to…

“All you have to do is go on the record as saying “I talked to Adam about scaling his son’s presence back in the clubhouse and he ignored me””

Sorry but lol. Yeah, I’m sure the headline would be, “[White Sox player] gently and politely asked for LaRoche’s son to be around less”, rather than “[White Sox player] to…

Well, it’s not selfish in the greedy/financial sense, but come on, the guy’s made 70 fucking million over a mediocre-ass career. So I guess he did the math and decided this weird ego/power trip was more important.

Not even telling him off, I just think of how pissed off I’d get on a shitty team walking into the clubhouse everyday “oh hey there’s $13 million, .207 Laroche dicking around with his kid again. Laroche maybe gonna get some extra work in the cages today to turn this year around? No? Gonna take a few cuts and let his…

Seriously. From the sound of it, this kid was with them constantly. It’s basically like having a chaperone everywhere you go.

I love my friends, but I wouldn’t want them to bring their kids with us everywhere we went. This isn’t one or two days, it’s almost the whole season.

Maybe if you’re married, more tame, whatever.…

I’m sure if your neighbors are having a loud party at 3 a.m. you’ll ask the police to make sure they know it was you who called, right?

This seems more like unwritten rules of workplace etiquette. I mean I know Laroche doesn’t report to a damn cubicle everyday, but WTF man.

LaRoche is full of shit. If his teammates would have complained to him directly, he would have bad-mouthed them and made them the bad guys. When management asked him to scale back the kid’s presence, he quit. You really think he would have been an adult about this? There’s no evidence he would have.

I actually like my coworkers kids... but damned if I don’t hate it when they’re hanging around work on a random snow day.

Well the tournament’s kind of boring right now so I’ll feed the troll.

Exactly. LaRoche even joked about how bad he is in his pro-Drake statement:

I think Sale is using any reason he can find to go at Williams. I think he wants to leave in the worst way and will continue to pick fights until they trade him. Good on him, honestly. This team never moves the needle one way or the other and I think he’s probably fucking tired of it. I know I am.

I stand with SVP.

Dear all parents everywhere:

This was what I was thinking. LaRoche seems like one of these young earth, kill the homos, ‘Murica types. He’s friends with the guy from Duck Dynasty for Christ’s sake.

One of the major joys for fathers going to work is being away from kids.

I was thinking about it earlier today. I’m sure the fact that LaRoche is really, really religious probably affected how teammates felt they could act in the clubhouse with his son around. I’m sure a lot of them felt censored much of the time, which can’t be the best environment to want to be in.

Williams claimed the exact opposite.

Except we dont know that this was in LaRoche’s contract. LaRoche and Eaton claim yes; Williams has claimed no.
