bmags Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Yermin was already the people's champ but this will only cement it further. I'm sure hell get big love next PA in guaranteed rate (unless tony sits him forever) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 perhaps we should dust off those posts about how tony tended to have very public, toxic feuds with players on his team. I was worried about TA, but maybe trying to scape goat the rookie who has carried this team through some injuries is unwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't have an issue with Mercedes in the general sense of the situation, I do have a problem with him ignoring the take sign from his coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thibs was able to keep buy in from his players despite riding them into the ground for as long as he did by never selling them out in public. Tony should do the same. This is about feeding Tony’s ego, nothing to do with real discipline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Twitter seems to largely disagree with TLR. Heyman and Passan are two of the more well-known names defensing Yermin. Edited May 18, 2021 by hogan873 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Not following a sign from the dugout is an issue. But TLR could have just left it at that. Instead he had to go all lame old school and soft and squishy and apologize to the other team...AND say all that bullshit publicly.

Blackout Friday Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 It’s possible Tony said those things publicly to lessen the likelihood of any “revenge” pitches possibly injuring our guys. I don’t think it’s likely, but it’s a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants everything out in the open and the media go after it until they get a response. It is gone. There is nothing behind closed doors anymore. Point still remain as much as you want to deflect this to TLR. Mercedes should listen to the coach and there should be accountability when he doesn't.

That wasn't the discussion. You asked that during a different discussion. The discussion was did Mercedes do something wrong by not listening to the coach. You interjected a different discussion about TLR making the public statements. I answered your question, you continue to deflect from the original discussion.
