LoungeGate is only a “Gate” at all because it involves LaRussa. Might as well have a dedicated LaRussa Scandal thread so that we’re not inundated by threads about Tony not tipping his waiter, his dog biting somebody in the neighborhood, etc.
He’s respond to a guy saying that Tony never gave a sign and this whole thing is based off a lie - so no, not nice try.
Tony gave a sign, Yermin missed it. Accept that and we can go from there.
Tony gave the sign, Yermin missed the sign.
Tray is responding to the weird conspiracy theory being postulated here that Tony is lying about giving the take sign and actually never gave any sign all.
LaRuAnon. I don’t know why that part is so controversial. No reason to think he’s lying about the sign.
Maybe - seems like a convoluted theory though when the obvious chain of events was that Yermin was given a sign and missed it - which is the official story that nobody has disputed. Sometimes people miss signs. I don't even think it was malicious, but I see no reason to think that TLR is lying about that specific part of it. Yermin glancing over quickly isn't evidence of anything except that he didn't have time to see it even if it was given.
These are a cool gimmick and will be nice to see on the field but I don't want to see them more often than that. The shininess is too much and would get old fast.
I mean, TLR says that Yermin missed the sign. I haven't seen anyone from the Sox org come out and say that its not true. I'll take him at his word. The fact that Yermin didn't look over long enough to see it is not proof that it wasn't given.
