I was thinking the Twins were to this Sox team what the Red Wings were to the Kane/Toews Hawks. They’d have to get past them to get over the hump and be a great team. But maybe the Twins are just bad now...
You know what all those people have in common? None of them are currently managing a major league team. The manager of a Major League Baseball team better damn well know the rules and how to best apply his personnel based on them.
Given that it's a 162 game season and they are bound to play a handful of extra innings game and already have, you think someone on that bench would know the nuances of the fucking rule, no matter how stupid it is. What a joke.
He's clearly in over his head a needs to go. No excuse for not knowing the rules and not putting his team in a position to win. What a frustrating loss.
I hate La Russa as much as the next guy, and he should obviously know the rules, but the offense needs more than 0 runs in 10 innings. That's why we lost.
Question, I assume the answer is no. Fields was there at 11, was there a scenario where he was still there at 20? Or was it almost a guarantee that someone trades up and takes him or the Pats take him at 15?
Benetti has many insightful things to say. And he says them every broadcast. I get that the goofiness can be overbearing sometimes but the guy knows baseball and bring a lot to the table. He pairs very well with Stone.
