Cant really say that, he spent one season with the Rasy, who was only 22 and had at least a positive WAR. He was considered a top prospect. The Indians have one so many trades with that method. Just didnt work out this team. I will always have faith in this front office, just never with ownership 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) This might be the dumbest thing I’ve seen 2 baseball players ever do. I guess Lindor has been a problem as a whole. Edited August 29, 2021 by candyman93 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m never in favor of insults, etc. but booing bad play after a period of time is free game as far as I’m concerned.

Yep, you can voice displeasure but insults and personal remarks are out of line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want the fans to do something nice, try producing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you see some of these guys like Baker Mayfield wearing a mask and taking pictures/paying for a dying fan's expenses, meeting with him, etc. while other guys don't skip a beat without fans being able to attend games really show you some of their character, or lack thereof.

Athletes have always taken any perceived slight and used it as motivation. If I’m a Mets fan idgaf if you flip off the fans daily if you’re winning lol.

Using slights as motivation is great, and win games, yes. That said, slighting the people paying to come watch you play is always ironic to me, considering without fans, they're unemployed. Fans are fickle and sometimes ignorant, but fan is short for "fanatic" for a reason, and when you don't produce and you're paid to do so, fans can, will, and should boo to voice their displeasure. I've always personally drawn the line at not booing a student athlete in any capacity, as they're not "paid professionals", albeit the NIL has me reconsidering that approach to an extent. Then again, I get booed every Friday night, so I'm used to it by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a really good point. Don’t be a jackass and boo high school + college kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
