You don’t live in the DC metro area by chance, do you? I’m going to bed. Please don’t get too despondent if I don’t immediately address your grievances. Who said I was hurt or upset? Your constant deflections are tiresome. At least I'm trying to get somewhere. You're just pretending to toy with me at this point. Which is fine because you still have a lot of things to address. (But at this point you've drug on this act so long you've long since distanced yourself from them, which was probably the intent). When you feel you're right, I'm sure you press on. When you're under the microscope, my pressing of you is apparently "trivial." You'll never discover self-awareness, I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Looks like Hinch to Detroit is just about a done deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I remember when LaRussa confronted Jimmy Piersall, who Jerry ultimately fired after the season for upsetting his Prima Donna manager. Wonder if Tony will go after Stone or Jason and demand announcers more to his liking. Thom Brennaman and former White Sox Steve Lyons come to mind. Jimmy The Greek did as well but I believe he is dead at this point. Then again, I thought the same of Tony LaRussa, until earlier this month. Heard many players defend and say they loved the leadership and playing for Rick Renteria, including Lucas Giolito yesterday on the Score. Lucas also praised all the veteran signings last year, with one notable exception (hint - he signed the largest contract in club history). Still haven't heard a peep of praise for LaRussa from any player or anyone beyond non players who receive checks from Jerry Reinsdorf. Hope JR doesn't crack the whip and demand players praise LaRussa like Hahn was forced to today. Hahn at the press conference reminded me of John McCain's Hanoi Hilton interviews. That's OK, Jerry and Tony will elect Rick Hahn into the Baseball Hall of Fame when the Vetaran's Committee meets to vote on "today's era" in 2022 .

I'm thinking three maybe four WS wins in the next 20 years he's there. Detroit probably won't miss the playoffs this decade. And yes, that was sarcasm.

Chicago White Sox Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I was hoping I’d be in better spirts after having a night to digest this, but honestly I feel like how La Russa looks in this picture right now 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at least one of Lynn, Wainwright (FA), and Yadier Molina (FA) will be on the team next year I’m really starting to worry that we’re going blow our chance to have an extended run. Either we’ll bring in way too many La Russa “guys” as our big offseason additions or Jerry will force Hahn to go “all-in” and trade young controllable pieces like Vaughn, Madrigal, Kopech, etc. for veterans.

Oh I agree completely! This is my worry too. Also, it really does concern me that not a single player (veteran or otherwise) has tweeted out support about their new manager. I realize as fans we probably had a bit of an overreaction to this yesterday (sarcasm). But I do tend to think we as fans are a bit of a barometer of how the players feel with this too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Apparently some of the players have already reached out to the Athletic. Doesn’t say who or what was said but it sounds like there will be some skepticism to overcome. https://twitter.com/JamesFox917/status/1322034811641487360?s=20 Edited October 30, 2020 by maloney.adam 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not gonna say “I’m pumped for the talent but we need someone who’s not swinging a wiffle ball bat in RF and our young pitchers to act like they have some balls” Sure hope he's thinking it.

runtheballdown Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 And people for bad for Hahn? Lol feel bad for a guy who hired Ventura and Renteria as manager? Feel bad for Hahn when he can’t get a decent DH that hits better than a pitcher. Makes the tali’s trade? Added malaria EE Gonzalez Dunn laroche just to name a few disasters. People feel bad for him that he couldn’t pick a manager? he hasn’t earned that right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) I think Hahn and the players wanted AJ Hinch but JR had other plans and interfered with the process.

The coaching staff is so important now. I do think Hahn did but I don't think there would have been a consensus w the players ( especially the young ones). Like most teams, I think RR was liked by some players and not by others. Certainly Keuchel was a big supporter of Hinch and he probably talked him up to some players. But I would assume most players would have a wait and see on any new manager which they will w TLR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should tell you enough about what's about to happen for the coaching staff search.

bmags Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 There are a lot of interesting ( not necessarily in good way) dynamics here but a big one to me is how is LaRussa going to handle having to prove himself for the first time in 35 years? He has been deferred to for years with his success, now he not only doesn’t have that, he has to prove it...at age 76. But, I think we have a great group. If Tony is ready to work, I think the guys will rally anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
