Green Line

Can you expand upon this and explain how he should be managing the starters in a different way and what about it you don't like? Obviously success of the starters is not a factor in determining this category as you stated.

It was probably filled with bugs and bird poop from being outside so long. Biohazard liability that they couldn't give to a poor unsuspecting familly. Ok. I'm done with the story now.

I hope they play tonight. The taste of bad loss lingers I don't want to have to sit through another night of it. Just play in the rain and give the fans ponchos.

Yup. As with so many stories these days, the initial report that causes so much anger and outrage is misleading but the followup correction/clarification will never get as much press. "Per the Sun Times, the plaque dedicated to Micele is still in place at the seating area" She has a plaque dedicated to her still hanging up. I'm sure the big overhanging sign just had letters flipped around. The description that it was "trashed" is also just silly and over the top. How was it "trashed" rather than just changed.

I do see the stupid mistakes and I've called them out whenever I see them, especially in the moment when I participate in the game threads. I just think that the hate gets way overblown on here and in totality I think he's a much better manager than Rick Renteria, no doubt in my mind about that. I hate most of the bunts he calls and the bullpen use has been questionable, especially in the NYY series. That said I don't think he should be fired and when I see stupid stuff like people complaining about "Coded Language" when he compliments another player on a team or crying about a concession stand sign, I feel compelled to offer a different perspective to the echo chamber.

I care about the overreaction and faux outrage, yeah. I don’t care about the sox decision.

Maybe it’ll be dead some day. Oh well. All good things come to an end.

correct. Didn’t miss it, just don’t care. Understand it, but don’t agree. Im sorry this thread hasn’t been a big echo chamber for you.

Yeah.. like I said. He’s earned his place here. One of the most storied managers in Sox history.

So now you’re defending Jerry? Not following. I mean, he is my profile photo so I won’t argue if you want to place him ahead of TLR. They’re both close like I said. Im assuming now you’re just arguing to argue? Or do you really think Jerry Manuel is above TLR? You do you bro.

Sometimes airlines name planes after people in small writing on the side and then when they get a livery change they paint over it. Its a nice gesture but you can’t expect something like that to last forever.

Yeah. He’s up there (but slightly further down the ladder). Like I said, its a low bar for successful Sox manager.

I didn’t ask a question. Youre reading the wrong post.

I’m not the one complaining about it? Why are you asking me? I’m saying its a ridiculous thing to get upset about and obviously the Sox dont care either.

Uhhh, you might not be aware of this but TLR already managed the White Sox for 8 years previously and he won the AL West with the Sox before getting fired by Hawk. Considering the poor track record of the franchise, he ranks as one of the most successful coaches in Sox history based on the Division win alone.

You must have poor eyesight in that case. Read again and think harder.

I don’t think the placard hanging outside of a white sox concession stand should cause enough outrage to merit top story in baseball. Especially considering they named it after one of the most storied managers in baseball, not somebody like Ricky. Still havent been convinced otherwise, just sounds like more LaRussa Derangement Syndrome.

No lol. You’re just bad at reading.

Who cares. You think its boring don’t watch. This was a really exciting game i was on the edge of my seat most of it.

The top post on Reddit Baseball is that the Sox changed the name of a concession stand from some lady that 99.9% of fans didn’t know until today to the current manager? Are you joking? I don’t use reddit but now I really am glad I dont lol.

Chance what though. Raise your hand if you know or cared what it was called before you saw that Tweet. Its just a marketing gimmick like all those signs are.

Wait what? You think the sox are going to face blow back because they replaced a sign in the concourse....?

No. If you criticize Yermin you are a TLR stan.

He hit .500 for a month lol. Give it up. He’s crashing hard back to earth. You want a statue of him in right field?

Except Ive been very critical of Tony all game. I wish you could understand the world is not black and white.
