Adam LaRoche

Yeah.

And Adam LaRoche, he runs the hunting down there and me and him hit it off so well during the vet hunt.

So if you don't know anything about the E3 Ranch.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, it was a case where that was the... was a long-running bit just because that was adam laroche retiring and renault was still on the market and just like well there's your replacement except he i think he had elbow surgery something like that

yeah

like his thing is minor elbow surgery yeah we're like you're not not season ending elbow surgery but like bone chips or loose bodies or something like that if i'm remembering correctly but so by time like he signed like there was a lot of signs that this could happen and should happen and so whether the build-up was ironic or real uh there's just a lot of expectations then you see i think it's dan hayes like tweeted the photo of him and just kind of this blank face in this very uh just uh incongruous uh picture of Morneau wearing black and white in the White Sox cap and not looking thrilled about it I mean he's kind of got a placid demeanor anyway to where like if he if he looks bored or looks unimpressed like he that just might be what he looks like but yeah just seeing him looking at the camera with no expression and White Sox cap as they're trying to reverse their season uh didn't inspire a lot of confidence and he was more or less just a guy but uh yeah it's We'll see if it comes up.

But all day I had them.

So for like eight hours straight, it was, you know, Adam LaRoche is like one of the freaking fishiest dudes, you know, call them Roche, uh, out there.

He, he was amazing.

Ryan Langerhans was the same way.

I'm sure great to be back here and starting for the first time on opening day with a very capable backup in Flores, who was the Nationals starter a couple of years ago.

Adam LaRoche, throw everything out that you saw last year.

He was never healthy from day one, so he wants to prove he's the player he was before in the second year of a two-year deal.

It'll be the first baseman, big double play combination.

Morse is out, so he can start in left field.

He can play first base.

We may see Adam LaRoche sit against some lefties.

So you could see a guy like Nady or a guy like DeRosa play some first base.

A- and I'm not...

Like, and I don't recall his reaction to the La Roche stuff, which m- dates me at this point that I can even remember, like, l- the, uh, Adam La Roche's kid-

[laughs]

... running around or whatever it was.

Okay.

So one is this, this baseball player, Adam LaRoche.

Oh, yeah.

This is 2016.

You tell me, where in this country can you bring your child to work every day? [laughs]

Where, where in the country can you bring your child to work 50% of the time?

So Adam LaRoche walks away from $13 million and tweets, #familyfirst.

Oh, what a great guy.
