Jose Abreu Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Pretty funny article. It seems like Sierra and Nieto are well-liked by the team. Well, maybe not by Gillaspie. http://www.southsidesox.com/2014/7/17/5911...dugout-all-star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Moises Sierra has earned the #4 OFer position just based on what he brings to the dugout. And dat arm helps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted to hear about a late-inning situation where he didn't have enough "hand-cream". Would he freak out and demand to borrow somebody else's hand cream?

hogan873 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 That's awesome. I'm not sure Gillaspie likes anyone. Always looks like he's plotting to murder someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Gillaspie: Excuse me, I need to get my cap. Sierra: You have to pay the toll first. Gillaspie: What's the toll? Sierra: One hug. Gillaspie: ...

Always looks like he's plotting to murder someone. Which is why I always call him Dexter besides the physical similarities also to the famous TV sociopath. I thought it was a pretty good nickname for him but alas I've never seen anyone repeat it or even acknowledge it in anyway. But I have seen Sweet Swingin' Conor Gillaspie used so I'm 1 for 2 in Conorisms. Edited July 17, 2014 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) In the two clips respectively. where Viciedo and then Abreu walk in a comical manner, my guess is that they are imitating Sierra. I've noticed how funny his gate is. My interpretation of the whole "schtick" is that the players either know, think, or suspect that Sierra is gay, or at least like to tease him about acting as though he is. Moises is so over the top about being openly affectionate toward the other players, and they appear to be giving him a little "taste of his own medicine". In any case, I don't think that they are dancing. They are mocking his manner of walking. I have no idea how much of the whole thing is just "tongue and cheek", or based upon something real, but it appears to be particularly prevalent with the Latin players on the team. I think it's hilarious, and they seem to be having a lot of fun with it. I have been living in Costa Rica for the last 25 years, and the culture there is much less "politically correct". "Ticos" openly tease one another about such things. I know that such behavior would be frowned upon in the U. S., but not in Latin America.

Leonard Washington Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) There is some video of Sierra putting a towel over Abreu and then fanning him while they were in Toronto as well. Also video of Avi doing the same thing. I'm thinking it's a running joke amongst the Latin players (or at least a microcosm of them) about what a beast Abreu is. They probably like to prod at him because he's so modest. Who wouldn't? Edited July 19, 2014 by Pale Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I see a guy trying his best to keep the team loose while having some fun. I think its great Sierra shows some love for his teammates and outside of Connor everyone else looks like they enjoy it. That's about as far as I'm willing to read into it. I'm glad he's apart of this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
