Brooks Boyer seems to respond to people pretty well. I wrote him a letter one time about an internship and he called me out of the blue. My dad wrote him one time saying whatever he saw was not baseball after the Sox got beat 20-1 by Minnesota in 2009 and he gave my dad free tickets.

ChiHawks10 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Just now, Balta1701 said: “I had one glass of wine”. So he also lied. I get the whole "never blow" thing when it comes to breathalyzers and DUIs... but... if I had a single glass of wine at dinner, I'd have no issues blowing. You don't blow because you know you're going to blow over, and know you're in the wrong, and the breathalyzer is irrefutable evidence that you broke the law.

Ben Waffleson Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 This couldn't be more of a disaster. Forget liking/disliking this as a baseball move. Feels like we've just shot ourselves in the foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 It was fortunate for Tony he managed so many years in STL which thanks to anheiser busch owning the state legislature has the most liberal alcohol laws in the country. My favorite was you were allowed 1 less open containers in your vehicle than people. Do we have any belief that this was just the second time Tony put others in danger?

mqr Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Interestingly "Do you see my ring? I'm a hall of famer baseball person. I'm legit. I'm a Hall of Famer, Brother" is exactly what he said to Jerry after Ricky was fired. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll get some nice quotes from people inside the org that will be contradicted by later evidence, sparking nice little side controversies. We've got all the makings of a worst-case PR nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't happen in baseball; the union is not for this tactic which is why you never ever see it in baseball compared to other sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I imagine the players will be demanding the firing of TLR before they demand trades. If the organization refuses, then you'll start to see the trade requests or mutiny.

2Deep Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 This is the response I got from Brooks Boyer on my email...... Thanks for reaching out. Not much I can say but I get it. I get the frustration, the disappointment and understand why fans are shaking their heads. I think you are right that our attention needs to be on the players on the field. Three Silver Sluggers, one Gold Glove and hoping for a MVP that will be playing for us next season. These guys have worked to the point of competitive baseball and I hope that when we start playing that the energy and focus goes on them. Again, thanks for reaching out. I do appreciate it. All the best and stay healthy, Brooks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best and stay healthy, Brooks The energy and focus will be on the players if we don't have TLR as manager. If he is still the manager, then odds are the focus will still be on TLR 100%, and for good reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
