He's the HOF manager that was hand picked by our overly loyal owner. He is one of the owner's best friends. Hell, TLR may have more power than Hahn or KW.
You think the young pitching coach or the fucking bench coach have any sway over him? Just lol. We don't know what they did or didn't tell La Russa in these situations. Bottom line, it is TLR's decision to pull the pitchers, NOT Katz or Cairo.
Your endless defense of him is embarrassing.
