Listened To Pedey on WEEI annmnnnnnd

[mvp 78]

Is that different from "questionable"?

I thought it was a virtual lock that he won't be available at all?

Me too. Maybe our new front office really thinks they can pull the wool over everyone's eyes.

It gave us something to talk about I guess?

More like a definite maybe, when and if, unless of course conditions change. The "uncertain" from whichever spokesperson is pretty weak. Pedey , for whom there was a slight ray of hope, is well done, fully baked, over, needs to move on, collect his remaining pay and come to old-timer events, maybe even a Day at Fenway in the warm summer where he can announce to 35,000 faithful and his former teammates, "It wasn't me"

Though I am in sentiment with Pedey's "it isn't me" he never ever should have been shouting that from the Sox dugout. Waaaaaaaaay too many cameras around for that sort of thing and I don't even know what Pedey was trying to accomplish in making that claim to Machado in public and in living color.

He’s just a dumb baseball player. They aren’t known for their smarts.

Look....

I agree! He broke the code! Guilty as charged.
For WHATEVER REASON, Pedey did not agree with the standard mlb punishment of plunking a guy who took our guy out.

I DON'T have a flippin clue why, but I'm not sure his head was in it at that time. He's hurt, & he's thinking it was just a bang bang play, & he just wants to focus on his knee & be done with it. He, for whatever REASON, doesn't want the standard retribution to defend his honor.

He was wrong!

It turns out to be CAREER ENDING.

Maybe he knew it was BAD, & he just was hoping against hope it was no big deal, & didn't want any more focus on it.

He F'd up, & wanted to play noble.

Jesus f'n Christ! He f'd up, & still isn't playing the b!+ch.
He keeps working his ass off trying to come back, & can't handle that it's over.

Holy f'n christ! We're gonna BURY A FUCKING Red Sox modern day legend for this?

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Holy shit! How many devastating injuries have you guys fought back from? I know I have way back in the day....
& its absolutely BRUTAL!!!

When your body goes, & there's not a damned thing you can do about it? It is BEYOND GUT WRENCHING!
Like nothing most could ever imagine. A TOTAL LOSS of the identity you worked, bled, Sweat, cried, & died over.

He f'd up & didn't have his guy's backs, when they wanted retribution for him. Got it.

For this, we destroy our own?

WTF? Are some of you literally insane with your internet sports punditry?

Good on ya!

Too fucking cool by 1/2!

[Slasher9]

maybe he is just "rehabbing so hard" to feel less guilty about the $14MM per year he is collecting? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
have you actually seen him rehabbing? have you watched him workout everyday?
its not me....

Whatever you think about the guy, does he really strike you as the type who would rather not play than play?

I'm with you, Bell.

[Slasher9]

nope. i think he would cut off a finger if it meant he could keep playing. but the other possibility i listed is....possible.

I do think he'd rather play. His body just isn't up for it. I always assumed that his career would be cut short or severely hampered because how he played on the field (play hard, but sometimes do stupid shit like dive headfirst into 1b).

[Sox75]

Ah, now the standard is, "Pedey needs videos proving he's 'really working hard to earn the contract he would collect either way, because it's "possible" he might not be trying that hard?

ok... yep. Makes perfect sense.

String the f'er up! He's stealing from the Sox, & is likely a freeloader.

Definitely sounds like Pedey!
