Everyone was able to see that he rather wanted to be literally anywhere else on tlr‘s introductory presser. Tlr reports directly to JR and nobody else in the org- Yeah that seems pretty obvious at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing the FO can do about it because JR would step in and defend TLR. Edited May 19, 2021 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, the Sox missed the playoffs and the Cardinals won the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing, TLR is under the impression that he and all his other old school, retired jags own the game of baseball and are the arbiters of its rules when in reality the game belongs to the fucking players, they're the ones putting in the work, it's their game and they're going to play it the way they choose. The old fuck needs to get over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exact opposite of what La Russa is doing. And I can't stress this enough, Lynn is supposed to be a La Russa dude. He's now calling him out in the press.

Dick Allen Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 If Yermin took the pitch and it was called a strike, what happens the next pitch? Is he then allowed to try, and if so, doesn't that show how dumb that unwritten rule is? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I wonder how much Joe McEwing can be the bridge between the players and La Russa. He’s been around these guys and the day-to-day game for years now. This team badly needs a meeting in New York and Tony needs to start understanding the game has changed whether he likes it or not. The 3-0 take in a blowout vs a position player should have been universally panned. Even against a regular pitcher, why is that respect? The pitcher should be trying to execute a pitch, and the hitter is trying to get on base...I’d say that’s respecting the game more than taking a pitch.
