Quin Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 My dad has been on the dump Alexei train all year and thinks he is the biggest issue with the team. Yesterday he wondered if Minnie's passing has been weighing on Alexei, especially considering how the last time Alexei had a year like this he had been dealing with a death in the family. Thoughts?

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Were they even that close? I really don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 How the hell would we know? Probably not. It's not like Minnie raised him. Alexei is just getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Lopez's Ghost Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Opening day, what number did Alexei wear? #9. I'd guess they were close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Minnie was over 90 and has had health issues leading up to his death, so it wasn't one of those things where no one saw coming. Javier Baez lost his sister whom he was extremely close to this year, and had to take a few weeks off and came back and still tore up Triple A leading up to his injury. And I would assume Baez's relationship with his sister would be more significant than Alexei and Minnie's. I believe we had the same speculation with Dunn and his son's illness after his awful first year, but realized that Dunn is just a bad player at the point. If I have to bet my money, I'd say Alexei is just a shell of his former self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Not sure about Alexei. But the loss of qwerty/Kalapse has GREATLY affected me. Haven't been right since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I think it's more likely Alexei has been affected by almost being as old as Minnie. Age seems to have caught up with him fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I doubt it. IIRC, he went through something much more difficult a few years ago when his father in law was killed/murdered. I don't remember all of the details, but I remember hearing about it towards the end of that season and being impressed with Alexei's fortitude. But he has been just awful this year.
