Clubhouse cancer is a little rich coming from Papelbon

[@moredeadweight9794]

@@localfox1000 he isn't spot on, when asked the Trout question his answer showed the entire world that's he's a dumpster fire. He didn't even know what they were asking him and it was one of the worst interviews I've ever seen given from a former player. All ego, zero brains

The A’s beat the Angels 6 times(6-7)last season which was the most wins they had against any other team they played

[@naturallawman2965]

Which is amazing considering Oakland is running a glorified AAA team out there, where the manager STILL has more legacy talent than anyone on the team. Yet... they still had great success on a team with Ohtani, Trout, Rendon, Moore, and later Gio, López, etc. Granted alot of them were injured, but still...

[@DMalltheway]

They did go 3-0 vs MIL

[@19Hutch89]

This is awesome. Pap needs his own podcast. I could listen to him all day

[@sca1645]

Really?!? He came across as a rambling clown over here, this guy is actually appealing to people? Obviously incredibly talented but easy to see why he was a team cancer

[@LBC1107]

Why are people so hard on Papelbon? Yeah he may not been best of teammates. When he went at Harper. That was great stuff. He's right to expect other guys to try. Harper is paid to run out a ball to first base. He's got issues with other guys. He was right more then not.

[@willpina]

I can see why Papelbon is considered a cancer. Yes, he was right to call out Harper and I think Harper has been a better player since then. But Papelbon seems like the guy who has an opinion about everything and believes he is always right even when he really is just talking out of his ass. I'm an atheist, but I don't see anything wrong with Rendon saying he puts family and faith above baseball. It's not even a unique position to take

[@HHSGDFootballJPD]

@@willpina Papelbon seemed to be talking out of it in this interview when he says the Sox are too cautious after the Sox signed Hendricks & Fulmer even though they won't pitch for the Sox until midseason and '25, respectively, at the earliest.

[@supreme1572]

Too many fans are new and had no idea how immature Bryce Harper was in the early 2010s.

[@caseymannion9582]

Approaching Harper the way Papelbon did that day was not the way a leader in the clubhouse does it no matter what someone else does. Thats the way clubhouse cancers approach a situation. Papelbon was the cancer and very much a hypocrite.

[@jonloffie]

How did this guy play so phenomenally in 2019? He carried the Nats.

[@45vinyljunkie]

His last three years with the Nationals were huge, then he signed a big-money, long-term contract and totally tanked. It's not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. Long-term contracts with guaranteed money are the worst thing that has happened to baseball.

[@Scotter4536]

@@45vinyljunkie Your theory would be more valid if 1) he hadn't been one of the best players in the league during the COVID season, which was after he joined the Angels and had the big contract and 2) if he hadn't been battling injuries since then. Also, Papelbon is one of the worst sources you could possibly find. There are several past teammates that have come out publicly stating how dumb he is. Seriously, look it up. I wouldn't trust this guys judgement or opinion of his teammates nor do I care what his values or priorities are. He freaking choked Harper for not hustling. I'd venture to say that Papelbon, besides being a moron, might make baseball too much of a priority.

[@matthewmorey8310]

Next time you guys talk to Papelbon, please do it before happy hour. Holy cow.

[@brandonpelly848]

You guys should do a front office ranking, background of the gm, how they got to that point, etc. Cause it seems like the chris young model of building a team can be successful. You guys have a deep knowledge of the game plus the wherewithal to call players bullshit. Front offices can't make those decisions, but you guys are building something great here, official watchdogs of the MLB 🤘 keep doing what your doing, you guys can harness the power to change front offices I believe.

I worked for the Nationals when both Rendon and Paplebon were on the same team. Honestly both were asses. I personally heard Paplebon call fans "peons" and I saw Rendon accuse a fan for stealing a cracked batting practice bat (which he won from a charity auction from the Potomac Nationals when Rendon was rehabbing there). I will say this about Paplebon..no matter how condescending he was to others...he GAVE A FCK! Christ sakes his rookie year he was throwing so hard with max effort that he would dislocate his shoulder. He was willing to endure subluxation of his shoulder just to get a strike out. You can say whatever you want about Paplebon...at least he gave a fck.

Honestly. Rendon is a scumbag. He worked hard is contract year. Got a massive overpay of a contract which is guaranteed and he gave up right after. This is what’s wrong with MLB contracts.

[@daddyg1973]

Rendon didn't say he didn't want to play anymore. He eluded to this: if his family or faith calls him away from the game, he's going. At the MLB level, the game is a job, and yes, most players want to win, but I think Rendon is suggesting that as a commodity, he has to first be loyal to himself. Every MLB player is selfish to a higher degree than most people. If you're not, you cannot get to that level. Front offices are rarely loyal to players, so a player has to learn to be loyal to himself first and foremost above all else.

[@ian0903]

When Rendon says faith comes before baseball it sounds like he’s just using faith as an excuse not to take his job seriously. See 2 Thessalonians 3:10. I think most Christians would praise a person who says faith before their job, but when Rendon says it, it somehow feels offensive to Christians as well.
