And the HOF excuse can't even be used anymore, we're nearing a 1/5th of the season complete so it's clear to see he's not a good manager anymore. It's not just 1 or 2 bad decisions in a vacuum. It's constant bad lineups and bad in game management. And being in the HOF is for what you did in the past. As Kylo Ren once said "Let the past die, kill it if you have to" 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdGen Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 3 minutes ago, y2chae said: Between the awful lineups and bad bullpen management, not sure how anyone can defend TLR at this point. He's either mailing it in or just doesn't have it anymore because he's either too old or the game has passed him by. Possibly because those awful lineups have produced at a rate near the top of the league, despite injuries and lots of individual underperformance and slumps. The Sox are currently 1.5 games behind the best record in baseball. If LaRussa sucks, every other manager must also. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile us Sox fans have to suffer with his terrible decision making. It’s this. And that’s why Passan’s report is far from a surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 28 minutes ago, Jose Abreu said: Yeah, he said: among a longer detail of his missteps Tony and the White Sox are so fortunate beat writers have little to no access to the clubhouse or front office beyond team managed zoom calls. The vast majority of media and fans has seen many of the first month of decisions as a complete joke. There’s no doubt players and FO experiencing this first hand are even more frustrated at wasting at least another year because of this fossil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Core of young or rising talent with veterans mixed in. Lots of high contact hitters who kept the line moving. Willingness to put team over individual numbers. Fundamentally solid. Dominant dominant bullpens and defense up the middle, and Gordon in LF. Then ruling over the last 2-3 innings with Dyson, Cain and Gore nearly unstoppable on the basepaths and three closers for the 7th-9th. What defines this White Sox team but talent/potential? What is their identity? Edited May 3, 2021 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is their identity? Ned Yost was the worst manager in baseball and he won a World Series. All I was pointing out was that the success of a manager isn't judged solely by W/L of his team. LaRussa was given a race care and is driving against some CIVICS. Winning isn't as much of an accomplishment as some seem to think - for a manager. So far the teams identity is a collection of SP's who all can absolutely SHOVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
