Tony La Russa has lost 2 games in 2021 leading after the 7th in 3 chances This thread is praising La Russa bullpen use while slamming Renteria. Can't make this shit up. Were you nervous with our GG maybe best in the game OF making a routine (except in this case it actually was) catch today? Baseball is a fucked up game. The tired act of knowing everything and telling everyone how to feel and respond on a MESSAGE BOARD is tired. People use these boards for different reasons. I, for one, only post when extremely drunk. Others for cathartic reasons. Some to learn. Nobody needs some know it all jerk-off-in-front-of-the-mirror dork telling people how to feel and respond.

Lol so because my opinion is different than the OP that means I'm telling him how to feel? How about this, I couldn't care less about your opinion or views and if i want to poke fun at a poster who spent all last year destroying renteria for any loss the sox had and now is praising the manager whose literally been in charge of two blown leads in three games, ill do that and you can go cry to someone else. Good luck with your future drunk pointless posts. Edited April 4, 2021 by Look at Ray Ray Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I say this as someone who just called Tony out for going with Marshall over Bummer, which isn’t nearly as egregious as some of the moves you & Ricky made last year. I think you know I dont blame either manager for the losses. Players gotta get the job done, period end of story. But you better believe I'm gonna have some fun with the posters who blamed every loss on renteria and are now hilariously praising la russa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I know, if he can’t handle having to learn a new position on the fly and completely bypassing the two most challenging levels of minor league ball he’s not as great as he was cracked up go be.

If Ricky was managing this team, Yermin doesn't play tonight and start 8-8. That has been the single most enjoyable part of this season. Even if you ignore that TLR managers circles around Ricky, that alone makes the managerial replacement worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in continuing this back and forth, will just say I dont cry and get offended when people rib me (like you rightfully did regarding the luis robert play tonight). Its part of the fun. I talk trash and in a sarcastic manner in all my life. Its literally what makes sports and online receipts/posting fun. If it offends you and others I'd be lying if I said I was sorry, because its never personal, its good old fashion banter. I will say its hard to portray it as well on a forum but Its still all in good fun. Have a good one.

NWINFan Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Not a big LaRussa fan, but since clinching the playoffs last year, the Sox are 4-12, including the playoffs. Maybe this team won't meet the high expectations? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Was something wrong with Codi Heuer yesterday? He didn’t pitch on Friday. Marshall two days in a row against the same part of the lineup he faced on Friday is a pretty odd call unless literally no one else was available. Also see how the extended outing for Hendricks Friday cascaded. Didn’t use Ruiz in the 9th yesterday when the lead got big, now Hendricks isn’t available on Saturday, now Bummer is saved for the 9th because you gotta have a classic closer, and in the end it becomes a loss. Other ways that could have gone: 3-4-5 hitters are due up in the 8th, why not use your best reliever then? Or, Marshall clearly was in trouble when Upton came up, the game was tied but not lost, why not use Bummer there? Neither of those are options if your manager thinks your best available reliever must be saved for the 9th, but saving Bummer meant he never pitched.

soxfan49 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I would have put Bummer out there in the 8th last night, even with Trout and Rendon coming up. In hindsight I was right, but I would've rather been wrong. Let's hope LR figures this out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 It’s interesting how I would have understood that game differently if I were frozen in 2011. We’ve got to save our best reliever for the 9th because no one else is mentally tough enough to pitch that inning, and the guy I brought in just didn’t do the job is very much 2011 thinking. That exact same decision viewed in 2021 is - I lost the game because I let arguably my 7th best reliever pitch in a 1 run game, on his second night in a row, against guys who have $800 million in contracts, while one of the 10 best relievers in baseball warmed up but didn’t come into the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know why Heuer wasn’t warming up with Bummer yet...? And whether Hendriks was actually available after 36 pitches the night before?

Someone like Rosario or Pederson. The problem is nobody foresaw (or could they have anticipated?) the Jimenez injury in the front office...at any rate, the White Sox never budget to have positional insurance that costs THAT much. And Mercedes, Collins and Vaughn might get the job done well enough to get us to August. Not since the 2006 starting rotation have they deliberately overspent somewhere going into a season.
