Chicago White Sox Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Good for him. As bad as this team is (and it’s really bad), they’re still playing like absolute shit. It’s a mix of sloppiness & guys pressing and that falls onto to Ricky. He’s got to keep this team both loose & focused and he’s failed in that regard.

chitownsportsfan Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I like Lopez. I know TA is trying a "just relax" approach this year after pressing last year but I'm not sure laughing there was the right response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 We stink. Players are laughing all the way to the bank. No expectations. Just $$ even though it's not a lot by industry standards it's still a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksnort Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Yeah Tim shouldn't have been laughing, but his comments show me he gets it. "In a couple years, we will be kicking peoples' butts. Right now, we are getting our butts kicked." That shows me he understands the rebuilding process and how it's working, and hopefully the other players do too. I just hope, as we all do, that in a couple years if this kind of play is happening, Tim shows a little more frustration. This doesn't bother me though.

BlackSox13 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I have no problem with Tim laughing it off and not taking it to heart. Good for Lopez in calling out the team (including himself) for playing like shit. That's a leader right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ANYBODY in that clubhouse has a problem with (or doesn't completely agree with) what Lopez said, they do not deserve to wear this uniform. I applaud Reynaldo for speaking the truth. At least somebody on this team cares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem like Anderson was laughing at him or the situation. Just one of those laughs where you're thinking "god damn... well... there you have it" He didn't step out of line in any way or become personal. He included himself and basically just said "We all need to be better. There's no excuse for this." Very fair. I respect it. This team is supposed to be bad, but a portion of this can be avoided. The mental miscues, defensive blunders, how bad they have been with RISP and less than two outs. The fundamentals. This team just fails. You don't have to be uber talented to execute on the little things. This mainly goes back to our manager. However, the players giving themselves a kick in the ass might be a solid substitute. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know Ricky won't be managing our contending team when it's time. Til then he's man the fort and he's a good clubhouse guy apparently. Also he's called out several players for not hustling which is good. He's just a horrible in game manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
