Chicago White Sox third-base coach Joe McEwing needed to make one thing clear Tuesday at Comerica Park.
“First things first, I’m a pescatarian, so I don’t eat meat,” McEwing stated. “I don’t eat ribeye or fillet, … I eat fish.”
McEwing was referencing Lance Lynn’s reasoning after the pitcher was requested after Monday night time’s recreation a couple of full of life dialogue caught on digital camera between the 2 throughout a recreation towards the Detroit Tigers.
“He was trying to get me going,” Lynn stated after the sport. “He stored telling me that fillets are higher than ribeye. I’m extra of a ribeye and potatoes man. He’s a fillet and Caesar salad. I simply instructed him was fallacious.
“And then he went back to coaching third.”
McEwing stated the state of affairs was a miscommunication.
“Let it be known I love Lance to death,” McEwing stated. “We have the same personalities. We’re both competitors and we both care so much about how much work goes into a daily game. It was a miscommunication between us. And we took care of it, we hugged each other. I was thinking something else that he was thinking internally and mentally. And we hugged it out and we’re good.”
The Tigers had seven hits within the first two innings. The dialogue was earlier than the third. The assumption was the dialog centered on positioning of gamers.
“And that’s the miscommunication part, that’s what I assumed,” McEwing stated. “And it was roughly about him not making pitches. He wasn’t making pitches. He was leaving balls in the course of the zone, and that’s what he was feeling internally.
“My assumption was that it was about something else. And that’s where the miscommunication comes. And it happens. When you’re out there competing and both sides care about their job and winning and losing and things like that may happen. But that’s part of the game. … We have the same fiery personalities and that’s where it came out. But we talked about it and moved on.”
Lynn allowed three runs on 10 hits with 4 strikeouts and no walks in 4⅓ innings within the 9-5 victory.
“Lance battled and perhaps most importantly told me after the game he feels good,” Sox common supervisor Rick Hahn stated. “He feels actually good. Location may need proven just a little little bit of rust. I do know he received annoyed as a result of he didn’t make a few pitches that he’s usually used to creating.
“But he battled through with his stuff, without his best stuff like the veteran that he is and gave us what we needed to get a win (Monday). That was good to have him back from a performance standpoint, and it’s just fantastic having him back in that (clubhouse) giving his presence.”
Hahn didn’t make a lot of what was proven on digital camera between Lynn and McEwing.
“I viewed it as two competitors having a conversation,” Hahn stated. “Now the truth that Joe doesn’t eat meat makes me just a little doubtful of the reason that you just all reported that the dialog was about, however I’m not going to query your sources. (Lynn’s clarification) was spectacular, however you’ve received to examine your sources on that one.
“That’s a nothing burger. No pun intended.”
