lol yeah saw that....

starting pitchin... ben bitchin... as the kids said in the 80s....

we had the right guy up with the bases loaded there... kind of lucky.

white sox lead mlb the past decades in At bats by players that have no fucking business taking at bats in a MLB game.

not sure about bunting in front of a guy who is 50/50 to hit a week ground ball to either side.

what kind?

a hawk would say... GAASSSSSS HE GONE

nah guys... thats a catch that should be made by every right fielder

leury needs to go where ever yolmer sanchez is

wow last in the league in home runs... mostly thats no eloy however...

14 scoreless innings in a row for the offense

with all the injuries this year... i think it greatly increases the chance that eloy moves to Dh....

yeah it seems they knew hendricks would be out there.. but no one in the dug out appeared to know he didn't have to be. which is...

yeah but did they know he didn't have to be is the question as well... the bigger question even...

again though its more than that - and don't get me wrong I want Larussa fired. This is a massive billion dollar organization will all kinds of moving parts responsible for many things - including stats/rules analysis ect. Tony will get the main blame and he should - but he wasn't the only one who failed.. not even close. how about having the foresight as an organization that you are hiring a manager that is 10 years out of the game and 76years old - who might need help with rules and analytics new to the game? The failure in that game was born long before larussa helped fucked it up.

his defense so far is good enough.. as long as he is a productive hitter. Which obviously remains to be seen.

Often there is delegation in staffs for certain things... I'm not defending LaRussa - but he isn't the only person with a brain in the dug out (or the entire organization) Who is really in charge is an interesting question... I think you were going for a snappy come back - but really that's an over simplification (ive already said multiple times I think La Russa should know the rule - but there are others who failed as well).

That argument has already been tried - Bell said that at spring training meetings this rule was reviewed. It's not just Tony's fault however, is the entire staffs fault. There is zero excuse for not knowing the rules of the billion dollar sports you are coaching. Every little thing can be the difference between winning and losing. No one is saying its the biggest reason why we lost- but it didn't help and it's embarassing.

lol yeah.. not happening... no place for him to play

but no one here is saying they knew the rule.. so nice strawman we just said Tony should know it... i dont give a fuck if any of those people you listed know the rule. They aren't managing a team in 2021 - where literally every last bit of information is at your finger tips. The "nobody" knows that excuse really doesn't work in any area of life - not when its that persons job to know.

well lol.. was more of a joke - he is kind of a tooth pick with a bat!

If i owned this team this would have been the final straw. I would just tell tony - respect what you have accomplished for the game - but this just isn't for you anymore, I'd make sure that a "rules expert" or research person is in place. I'd do more than that- but that is where I'd start.

yeah ozzie saying no one knows the rule... bullshit There are plenty of managers coaching that would have known... this is a billion dollar business. no excuse for coaches not to know the rules or have someone who does - ZERO fucking excuse.

he needs to go now before its too late.

can we start by trading billy hamilton for a bag of tooth picks? would be just as useful.
