Not Deichmann...

2 runs scored, 1 RBI, 1 walk, 1 stolen base. Yes he was hit less but come on. Don't act like he did nothing out there.

Don't feed him.

I don't think that's necessarily what he's saying. Moreso that his comments didn't cause a mutiny or cause the team to come out and play like dog shite.

That's exactly what I'm saying. Last night people were acting like this team wouldn't give a shite about the game today. Those who said that were wrong.

Just from the first 4 pages of this thread:

If Maineri actually said what is in that tweet, he deserves a code red from the team

How does this team come out tomorrow and play for him after those comments?

Will they be inspired?

Only 2 of those are legit. Crazy was talking about media attention. And Kim was asking if the team would be inspired by the comments. Never suggested they would revolt.

Crazy was talking about the team's motivation. As was Kim.

My post was about the team's inspiration to play today. Obviously, it wasn't an issue.

I don't understand why you can't just agree that the team played inspired today. That doesn't mean that had anything to do with Paul Mainieri. You aren't giving him a compliment just by saying the team played inspired lol.

Lol I'm done. You're something else. If they played uninspired, it would have shown on the scoreboard.

I was not even coming close to agreeing with anybody who said the team would revolt or anything stupid like that. Any player that revolts or doesn't play his best, even when coach craps on him should be kicked off of the team. I was questioning whether Coach's comments were appropriate and whether they would inspire the team. I still don't think anything positive came from those comments, do you?

I don't know that the comments impacted the team at all.

I guess there is no way to know until we hear from some players. I just don't see how singling out one play and one player as the reason for the loss can be a positive thing.

The team played very well today.

Yes, they did. Coming back after the early 3 run deficit was impressive. Like I said earlier, I did not expect the team to revolt and lay down today--I just happened to quote that post in my reply. No player, regardless of how bad he feels he's been treated by the coach, should ever give less than 100%. Play the season and transfer if you want to, but don't lay down in protest.
