soxfan85 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Or, does he sit on twitter all day and talk trash? What an immature, overpaid idiot. Honestly, he needs to shut up and take care of business. Play ball, that is what he is paid to do. Send Eaton packing with LaRoche.

3GamesToLove Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Eaton's act is wearing on me, but he's definitely not overpaid--unless you're comparing him to the US population at large rather than ballplayers, which is silly. He's a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, because when you're a pro athlete and a public figure and you discuss controversial stuff on Twitter, it reflects poorly on your employer. I shouldn't have to explain that to a grown adult.

Was anything really that bad? Nothing that I know about this particular subject. He took a lot of heat for the Oscars tweet. And while that was mostly dumb people venting for no good reason, Ventura had to come out and publicly "suggest" that he knock it off.

Just retweeting a bunch of #FamilyFirst stuff. Nothing specifically bad but could be read as a sort of open revolt. Tangent: The Oscars thing was stupid and he should have known better. Eaton has the right to do whatever he wants in his down time and use twitter, but he's starting to make a habit of letting things get away from him a little bit on there.

I shouldn't have to explain that to a grown adult. I follow Eaton on Twitter and I do not recall one time ever reading a tweet of his and thinking to myself that he probably should not have said that. The only one that I can think of that was close was his Oscar's tweet that was poorly worded but nowhere near the controversy people pretended it to be. Eaton doesn't go down to Burger King and try to tell you how to do your job, don't try to tell him how to do his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, he needs to shut up and take care of business. Play ball, that is what he is paid to do. Send Eaton packing with LaRoche. I have a feeling if you met Eaton in person you'd be very cordial though. I actually am blocked by Eaton on Twitter. Don't remember why. Probably nothing - I don't get too controversial or attack anybody with @ symbols ever. Either way, its his own choice. He's a grown up. He doesn't have to like his employer every day. He doesn't have to adhere to what fans want to hear. I for one see both sides of this argument. Sox made a new rule and it was poorly timed. I think it was on purpose. If Rochie hit .270 last year this never happens. So say what you will. Either way, for the Twitter argument? boo hoo. Don't read it then. Imagine if you had a personal relationship with LaRoche and they did this to your friend? And basically as an organization made the kid feel like s***. (Rochie also contributed to this by quitting making his kid probably feel even more s***ty). But either way, let Eaton be emotional for a few days. Things settle. move on.
