Player of Industriales ATTACKED against follower in the networks

By Jose Alejandro Rodriguez Zas

Less than a week ago, just in the first match of the Industriales team in the 61st edition of the National Baseball Series, the regular third baseman of the capitals, the experienced Jorge Luis Barcelán, left the clash due to an injury and, since then, he has not been able to return to the field of play.

Due to the above, the manager of the Blues, Guillermo Carmona, has been forced to look for variants to make up for the absence of “El Torito”, a key piece of the capital’s offense and a safe glove in the defense of the third cushion.

Sandy Menocal, player who joined Industriales in this Series 61, after four previous seasons defending the colors of the Matanzas Crocodiles, with fairly discreet results (.244 average, eight extra-base hits and 23 RBIs in 217 times at bat before this season ), was in charge of occupying the position left vacant by Barcelán, right from the moment of his injury.

Since then, Menocal has connected two hits in 10 official appearances at the batting cage, with two runs batted in and one scored, a performance that has provoked opinions of all kinds among the fans of the Lions, demanding the presence of Andrés Hernández in the third base and of Walter Orlando Pacheco as designated, taking the “former Crocodile” to the substitute bench.

Precisely, on the subject in question, the follower of the Industrialists, Louis Bello, shared today on his social networks an unfortunate event that occurred with Menocal himself, due to a criterion that he exposed. Bellos made a comment about the player in a publication by journalist Boris Luis Cabrera, who summed up what happened today at the Latin American stadium and the extraordinary comeback of the Blues against Granma in the final stages, while Menocal went 0-2 with an RBI

«I don’t understand what Menocal is doing playing in that team, he made mistakes and always failed. (Dayron) Blanco has always hit Granma well. Today he batted 2-2 and was key in the victory, he must play in left field and Andrés Hernández in third. Andrés Hernández looked good in the inning he played in third, (Jorge) Alomá is very bad, they should sit him down for a few days and put (Yamil) Rivalta at shortstop, “wrote Luis Bello.

However, apparently, this comment greatly annoyed Sandy Menocal, who attacked the fan using the Facebook chat (Messenger), in a situation that obviously got out of control, as Bello himself made public in the group Industrial The Virtual Rock.

“In a post about today’s game from journalist Boris Luis Cabrera Acosta, very good by the way like all his writings, I commented that they should seat Sandy Menocal and put Andrés Hernández at third and Dayron Blanco in left field since Dayron gave two (hits today) in the two times he went to bat ”, the fan wrote.

«And look what he answered me on Messenger offending me. I think that the players should have respected each other a little because look what they say about Aloma that if the blue suit weighs him down and many things and he is incapable of offending anyone. I do not sell to anyone, on the contrary, I do it as a criticism, greetings, “he added

«Look what I am going to tell you comeppp****, save your comments towards me, do not speak of me neither good nor bad, that you have never played ball and you just see them talking m***** … », Menocal wrote to Bello, visibly angry at the comment he made.

“What kind of morals do you have? It is seen that you are a third-class player, but it does not matter, then you will publish in the National Series because of your mistakes and all your faults, “replied the fan.

“You can publish it in the Granma Official Gazette if you feel like it, what you don’t have to do is mention me at all, save your comments about me and my morals and principles, I have more than you,” replied the player.

Obviously, the conversation continued between the two, but Bello only shared that fragment. The response from Internet users was immediate and many commented on what happened, generally criticizing the player’s attitude.

«What a big mistake the boy made !!! Anyway, that’s the youth we have and the “professionals” we have who don’t know how to handle the networks because honestly they don’t even understand what the networks are! “wrote the user Dennis Montes de Oca.

«Seeing him in this facet hurts me. He doesn’t know yet how hard it can be for him sportingly to have the fanatic against him. (Bryan) Chi was insane at the Latino, imagine him, “he added Raydel RW.

“That’s wrong, I don’t understand what a player does by responding that way, let’s see what he says now,” he said. jordy denis

“Right now he comes out to say that his account was hacked,” he said. claudia lorenzo.

Emitting an opinion on this subject is very difficult, mainly because the reasons that led the athlete to react in this way are not known. Judging a book by its cover is not good practice, nor is it the way this writer acts. However, it is clear that, in any case, Menocal’s offensive response was a big mistake on his part, something that a high-performance athlete and public figure cannot afford. Learning to deal with the fans, with the followers (and even with the readers) is part of the responsibility that is assumed when you occupy a certain place in society and that, this time, Sandy did not fulfill. He was not able to have measure and deal with the issue, give way to something that can subtract more than add, in the end, criticism, as long as it comes with respect, only helps human beings to progress.

We hope that the player himself will rectify his mistake and make a comment about it, to avoid further reactions. We will be following the news. Something similar happened once with Menocal and the athlete argued that his Facebook account had been hacked. That this has happened again is possible, but it would be difficult to convince Internet users, with an exit to the story, perhaps, too childish.
