Is Jeff McNeil's Doghouse Reopening and Does It Deserve Its Own Thread?

[Ceetar]

What was the question? WAS it a stupid question? like when the reporter asked a then underaged Bryce Harper if he was drinking.

"Did you hear the boos when you struck out there?"



"No man, i lost my hearing"



"So you didn't hear them."



"Come on man, that's a stupid question."



"Why is it a stupid question?"



Nick, to the other reporters "Can anyone else answer that for him? Anybody? Yeah man, it's a stupid question."



"it's not a stupid question.' if it's a stupid question you should be equip to answer it"

That is a stupid question.

"Thought about it and three other things, went with my move."

"Did you hear the boos when you struck out there?"

I did. I know the fans are frustrated. They're passionate. I'm frustrated. I know I can do better, and I will.



That's how you answer that, and move on. If they come back with the similar question, you answer with a variation.

It's pretty much written in 20-point type in Crash Davis' cliche book.

This is all so vomit inducing. I guess no one's supposed to speak the truth anymore. It's all so calculated. Everybody's supposed to be a politician. Here's one: if you can't handle a truthful answer, dont ask the question in the first place.

Vomit inducing.

Inducing vomit is better than creating a distraction for the team. And the response I suggested was truthful. He heard the boos, he needs to do better.

It was a stupid question though

I wasn't really meaning to express that. I was just paraphrasing the post above mine to implicitly note that we really can jump to the most extreme of takes on something that isn't even really the topic.

Ah. Understood. I don't see posts from some posters and didn't understand the context. Apologies.

I think we need a whole new thread on "managerial evasions to the press."

I think some of this is the sound on my TV, but I have yet to hear a word Showalter has said in any of his post-game interviews.



If I were a Mets beat guy I think I'd spend my entire night saying "I'm sorry, what?"

lol...every time he speaks, I have to jack up my tv volume...watched Tuesday's post game interview clip on mlb.tv yesterday, and then the "condensed game" came on after I had made the Buck Showalter adjustment...my wife yelled at me for Gary's/Howie's emotional outbursts because I forgot to de-Buck the volume on the tv...



funny thing is, I don't remember Buck being that quiet when he was working for MLB Network...
