If his DUI and other discussed issues resulted in positive personal reflection and growth, than kudos to Tony for committing to change at this stage in life. Baseball is a grind and despite COVID based restrictions on media access, players can still communicate directly with the public. Beyond a crazy blowup, the truth good or bad will emerge over time. I expect Tim to be candid via his personal social media in either case, and hope for the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were (I thought) talking specifically about people reacting to TA’s quote in the way you described. I’ve yet to see anyone react that way on this board. Sorry it hasn’t happened for you yet. Oh, and yeah, being critical of TLR/JR + being happy that TA is on board: Not mutually exclusive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is difficult, but it is possible. Yea but you'd agree the vitriol and how will TA ever get over this hire stuff was way over the top no? As I said 4 months ago or whatever people like TA and TLR don't get to the top of their profession by being wilting flowers. These guys are leaders of men and will hash out their differences in pursuit of a common goal and that's winning. Just win baby. As long as the club wins, nobody will care about any sort of off field drama involving the hire -- and this team is in a position to win a lot of games in the Central.
