It's 5000 > 3200 though. CC may have only pitched in 561 games, but he has been around the dugout and clubhouse for 3200+ Edited May 20, 2021 by ChiHawks10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their entire premise is "Tony has managed 5000 games he has forgotten more than you have ever learned about the game", when a borderline hall of fame player is saying the opposite So forget CC. We have a list going. I know I am missing A LOT, but this is what I am remembering quickly. From the White Sox: Lucas Giolito, Lance Lynn, Tim Anderson, and Evan Marshall Current Major Leaguers: Nelson Cruz, Alex Wood, Trevor Bauer Current MLB Manager Chris Woodard Retired Major Leaguers: Frank Thomas, Ozzie Guillen, Steve Stone, National Baseball columnists: Jeff Passan, Bob Nightengale, On Tony's side you pretty much have the Twins. Spare the I have X games in MLB. This list of people has a more extensive baseball history than just one man in Tony LaRussa, and most of their histories are in the last decade. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradMc Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Social Media is ablaze. Everybody and their grandma is going off on LaRussa. I love it. It serves Reinsdorf right for this atrocious, tone-deaf hire. The White Sox are winning despite them. The mark of real champions.

GermanSoxFan Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 The weird ass Minnesota Twins. You guys fucking suck, get over it? CC has always been great. His comments on the Astros cheating scandal were also always spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35thstreetswarm Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 As much as I like to see TLR get his comeuppance, I'm not on board with egging on the circus wagons now circling this team. The shittiest part about this situation is we have no recourse -- TLR is going nowhere. Given that, plus my love for the team above all else, I think the best we can hope for is that either TLR and the team have a come-together moment or this blows over. This all needs to stop soon.

It’ll stop in a few days and Tony will do something completely out of line for a Major League manager to do a couple days after that and the whole thing will start over and over again. This will keep happening until Tony leaves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media, and baseball as a whole, shredding TLR, really has nothing to do with the players. So I'm fine with them continuing to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) I also like the whole story about Tony running to the top step and yelling take from the top of his lungs. The stadium was almost empty and it was completely quiet, surely one of the mics would have picked that up. TLR is full of shit Edited May 20, 2021 by GermanSoxFan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 https://www.pressherald.com/2021/05/19/unwritten-rules-of-baseball-are-baffling/ Add former White Sox, the eminently quotable Brandon McCarthy...to the Team Yermin supporters list. To La Russa’s point, Mercedes did do something major league players just don’t do. ESPN baseball writer Jeff Passan tweeted out the astonishing stat that in the last 20 years, big league players have seen 557 pitches on 3-0 counts with their team leading by 10 runs or more and Mercedes was the first to swing.
