LaRussa has never been fired up unless he's yelling at an umpire. Expand La Russa is quite possibly the most humorless man to have ever put on a baseball uniform, and i dare say that's not an exaggeration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macsandz Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Obviously Rick has been publically undermined. This isn't his hire but the real concern is the intent with the next manager was to further infuse FO analytics into the actual in-game decisions and TLR likely isn't down for that. He said he will be but there are real doubts. That's the real tension here. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I love the autocorrect of Russa to Russia. Good stuff. The Hall is awesome, but they also need to get the sticks out of their asses.
