Mediocre has-been pitcher really doesn't like Machado
Banedon replied to OleMissCub's topic in General Baseball Talk
Nah, that happened in 2014. Braden was done after 2011. -
this isn't his kooky aunt talking about him at bingo All I'm saying is he's done plenty to be held accountable for his own horsefeathers views on domestic violence. I don't need to channel someone else's idiocy and place it on him. His agent wouldn't be saying this if Joe didn't feel "attacked" over the issue. Sure, the Trump comparison my not have been from Joe's brain, but Joe clearly has some misguided sense of persecution on this.

I'm interpreting this as a quote from Alan Nero. Not Joe Maddon. Am I reading it wrong? It's from Nero. But it's bad, and in defense of Maddon, from a man that is supposed to be representing him.

[expletive], this makes me laugh every time I see it. My gif game will never be as good as this one post. Any likes my gif got were shameless coattail riding on my part.

Agreed. I just think it’s interesting that he made excuses about players not listening to him and stuff instead of just sticking with “it didn’t work out”. Means either the dude doesn’t like to take accountability or the players really did not listen to him. Or both So now that we solved the problem by firing Davis, does that mean we don't have to spend $400,000,000 on Harper or Machado? :-" No.
-
Wait, the fired guy DOESN'T think it was all his fault? That's weird.

I almost posted earlier this morning that the exit interviews had to really go against Chili. If players had been saying something like "the results aren't there, but what Chili is doing is going to make us better eventually", he'd still be around.

Patrick Mooney is pretty hilariously self-righteous about this. https://theathletic.com/584702/2018/10/11/what-firing-chili-davis-says-about-the-myth-of-the-cubs-way/

Just mute each other and be done with it. We're all bored with it and do not need recaps.

According to Kaplan, KB turned down 200 Mill Extension
Banedon replied to davell's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
We could argue for eternity about whether a runner sliding into first is slower than running through the bag, but regardless, this is the biggest reason for not sliding at first. -

have you ever watched early regular season hockey before? It's bad. There is always bad hockey in October. To be fair, the last few Octobers have had more entertaining things to watch.

Oh good, nobody's been doing that around here lately. Needed change.

Don't you think "oh no I might get released from my extremely high paying job in sports" is much more of a deterrent to bad behavior than "oh no I have to attend a few therapy sessions"? I’m sure he’s much more worried he’ll get released because he can’t hit than because of bad behavior. Not worried enough to adjust his lifestyle choices.

Why are the Cubs obligated to positively affect his life? I'd rather they positively affect the fanbase watching them by demonstrating that domestic violence has serious consequences. They aren't obligated. But wouldn't it be great if they used the influence to at least try. Not for Addison Russell but, going forward, if an organization like the Cubs actually held him accountable and other players took notice, maybe this happens less in the future. Make him actually go to counseling. Make him do more than just give lip service to doing the right things. After he's done that, if they're not convinced he's changed for the better than publicly and loudly blast him into a billion pieces. If the Cubs released him tomorrow and someone else picks him up, he will have learned nothing and will probably do it again. Women seem to like this guy. Don't you think "oh no I might get released from my extremely high paying job in sports" is much more of a deterrent to bad behavior than "oh no I have to attend a few therapy sessions"?
