Well yeah, that's my operating assumption at this point, I was just saying what I was hoping was happening since so many people not really in the org are telling anyone that will listen that he took the job.

DirtySox Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Ugh. I sincerely hope all of this La Russa speculation is wrong. My offseason hype has sunk to an all time low because of this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Rick Hahn's press conference, October 30th: People said we'd never hire a manager with previous experience, well we just hired the most experienced manager living. We're doing things differently here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoYoIsMyHero Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 You have the pick of the litter and you're gonna hire a retread who has been out of the business a decade? Seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35thstreetswarm Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I don't want LaRussa, but I'm also surprised by the intensity and near-unanimity of the anti-TLR sentiment here and among fans I know. I would think he'd have more supporters just based on track record alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes against everything the Hahn went out and said when they let go of Renteria. It’s Jerry dictating the team and it’s revolting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
