I've had to watch Tony La Russa manage for two years, can you blame me?

I'm very confused as to why the benches emptied here.

lmao Len: "No pinch runner needed!"

Jokes aside, Payton earned it

Is Zach Plesac gonna be the Indians' version of TCQ

Looking into it

Try in an incognito window.

Hey! I have something in common with Eloy!

I think I'm on the "if we can trick a team into giving up quality for Eloy, he's the one to go" train.

Missed this piece of art because YouTube crapped out on me.

Sheets' defense causes me emotional pain.

my fucking hero

Want: Oscar Colas Get: Adam Haseley

To be fair to Tex, he was actually super down on them from the get go.

The mets are fun as shit. It may be bandwagon as hell but they're gonna be my NL team since I live here and most of my die-hard baseball following friends in the city are Mets fans, including my brother-in-law.

At this point I'm convinced Herm was actually a cleric who just channeled healing magic while walking around the stadium.

Keep this thread civil.

Honestly, it makes me sad. He's a god awful modern day manager that infuriates me with every decision and its entirely in his control, but somehow it makes me sad. For him, for the players, for us. I think I'm at the 4th stage of grief with this team.

Menechino fuming right now.

Split this off from the Fire Tony thread. As infuriating as he is as a manager, I hope he's doing OK. Listening to Fegan talk about Tony after games on the FutureSox podcast really hammered home that these games are just taking a lot out of him. Not saying that as a joke either. These games are stressful to watch. At his age, I can't imagine the strain of these games are taking on his body.

A good hitting coach would adjust

MLB owners: "who needs two A-ball clubs?"

Perfect opportunity for TA to make connections and recruit, under a different front office and ownership.

My wishful thinking is that Project Birmingham is a pseudo-audition for Jirschele for at least bench coach. But I know that instead, we'll get Tony Year 3, Miguel Cairo, or Duncan's kid.
