harkness99 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Tim gets fucked in about 5-6 at bats... Ricky says nothing... nothing. Sorry I just can't ride with this guy. Nice dude... but have your players back - show me something. Not fan at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisox378 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Great manager, I love Ricky. My guess is someone from above is controlling him and alot of decisions and telling him to have an attitude of "who cares right now, we can get a better draft pick if we lose." That person should be fired. Ricky needs to take control of his team and stand up for them, and start managing like he wants to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A poor manager w a crap roster is not a good formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) While I think that Ricky as far as in game decisions go is probably one of the worst managers in baseball, the players like him and there doesn‘t appear to be a lot of drama in the clubhouse. Compare this to the shitshow that was 2016 or the later Ozzie years. The most important skill of a manager/coach is to make sure that players are a unit and are working together. I played professionally, not baseball, but whatevs, and I had some coaches who were brilliant tacticians, but everyone hated their guts and it resulted into bad play because nobody gave a shit about what they had to say.

harkness99 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 yeah the team they have now aint winning.. especially the pitching staff. I'm not really talking about that however - I'm talking about having a young players back when he is getting jobbed over and over again.

I'm not really talking about that however - I'm talking about having a young players back when he is getting jobbed over and over again. We are trying to win with 2/3rds of a starting lineup and 1/5th of a starting rotation. That comes to 7 players before we start to nitpick. With presumed quality players in Cease, Robert, Madrigal and return of Kopech, Dunning and Rodon on the horizon...we need a couple quality starters for depth and a right fielder... we will compete next year. Ricky has done reasonably playing with only 2/3rds of a quality team. I'll be patient with Ricky until he fails to deliver with a complete team.

ChiSox59 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I can't wait until Ricky is gone. Seems like a good clubhouse guy, but he's just so insufferably bad at in-game management and making lineups its pathetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
