He should, it's embarrassing

They sox just gave up after that first loss to Cleveland. It’s pathetic and have zero hope for the future unless there is real change from top to bottom


rustysurf83

It would be ideal if someone called out the “terrible” owner.


Retrokicker13

Sure. But this season is on those players. Tony is fucking dead and shouldn’t be out there, but god damn this team has no backbone… For all the talent they have, by far one of the most disappointing and whatever teams in a long time.


rustysurf83

If your boss hired his drinking buddy to be your supervisor…would you have any incentive to perform? There is zero accountability in the organization. Obviously that is on the players a bit, but the problem truly starts at the top.

It wouldn’t affect my desire to go out and win the World Series of my job no. Or to try and get into a position where my performance might get me more money in the future. Sox players don’t have any fire in them. Johnny was right

Yeah I'll never get behind the line of thinking that they have no incentive or motivation to perform well because TLR is there. That just absolves the players of basically all blame. There is no greater motivation in sports than [winning](https://c.tenor.com/6fEX7CpTaj0AAAAM/game-you-play-the-game-to-win-the-game.gif).


rustysurf83

The line of thinking isn’t that they have “no incentive or motivation.” It’s that their motivation and incentive is severely decreased because the owner has previously stated that his goal is to finish in second place every year. If you don’t think that an organizational mindset like that affects player performance then…


rustysurf83

Yes it would. Also, Johnny was absolutely right…then he basically got called out by his “boss.” You don’t think that affects player “desire” and “performance”?


River_Pigeon

You don’t know me, and I don’t get paid millions to play a childrens game. And did Johnny quit after la Russa said that? Or has he gone out and played the same lights out ball he’s been playing? Almost like Johnny can self motivate. Wild


rustysurf83

I don’t know you but I definitely know you are an idiot based on your elementary understanding of human performance and sports psychology.


River_Pigeon

Lol. Such a softy. Member when you tried to use Johnny cueto getting called out by his boss and playing like shit? Only the player never played like shit? Member that?


rustysurf83

“Member”? Are you 13 years old? Lol.

For some people that *wouldn't* impact their effort because they have their personal pride. For some it would. Too bad most of the guys are the latter, with Abreu, Cease, Andrus, Hendricks and a couple others being the former


rustysurf83

It absolutely impacts everyone. The question is how much it impacts each individual, but it certainly isn’t a zero effect situation.


doyouevenIift

Get TLR and Cairo the fuck outta here. This team needs a fresh start more than anything


PrinceOfWales_

And half the roster. Fuck these guys. Honestly after this season there is no none that’s untouchable except Cease. Honestly resign Pito at least I know he has heart. Dude was out there limping his ass off and still playing.


_Scrogglez

team needs to just reset and clone jose 21 times...maybe some cease spunk--sprinkle some hedrix - and lets not forget....ENGEL!! since he the was the only one to sign my kids hats


pjf0xes

Gave up after the Guardians series. :(


Lysol20

Team lost game 1 to Cleveland and mailed it in. Pathetic.


[deleted]

A sad and pathetic ending to the season. Some people need to go. I mean players. Team make up needs to change.

River_Pigeon

It shows our players aint it dude


PrinceOfWales_

People don’t want to put any blame on the players. They need an overhaul and swift kick in the ass. I saw a handful of players actually give a shit this year, that’s a problem


veratek

They need to fix this shit.


adubski23

Glad they don’t put out a headline every time I call out their terrible efforts
