Particularly when they are critical?

I'm pretty sure Jordan Romero feels bad enough about his performance without having to check his Twitter mentions seeing the media disparage him.

I'm not advocating they not be criticized and they should be able to handle it, but I think it's bullshite. It's one thing if a player goes and reads an article, that's their choice. But tagging him in social media where he has to read it is not right.

What do y'all think?

Yeah tagging a kid in a negative post is just unnecessary. I get reporting the actual news but there's no need to throw it in a kid's face. Don't see anything wrong with tagging a player for something good though.

That being said I'm struggling to find some examples. Even certified shitlord Glenn Guilbeau doesn't do this.

Did a quick Twitter search and I'm assuming you were talking about Bryan Lazare from Tigerbait.

Agreed it was way unnecessary for a grown man & "professional" journalist to actually tag the player he's blasting on Twitter.

I'm with you. If he wants to criticize, fine. But don't tag the player.

Bryan Lazare
Also LSU's official scorer who got blasted earlier this year by Bregman when Lazare was talking shite about Louis Coleman's World Series ring.

so unnecessary. Good thing this hack is irrelevant.

Probably not the only time it's happened, but yes that's the particular post I'm referring to in this instance.

Yeah, definitely, but to be fair, it could be worse.

The HC could have directly blamed a loss on you to the media, so there's that.

It seems like the perfect example of what not to do regarding live tweeting.

How is he even employed by LSU. He's a fricken idiot. Bregman blasting him was the greatest thing ever. People are going at him now on Twitter, must have seen this thread! TD ftw!

FIFY

He's a shite writer and obviously isn't afraid to openly disparage the players he's scoring.
