They are the same dudes they have always been. I agree although Grandal does have make some adjustments and stop pounding the ball into the right side of the infield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why is he batting?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all know he only apologizes to cover his ass. He’s a bad person and a bad manager. Edited May 5, 2021 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanJoeCrede Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 1. Double switch leaving a pitcher to run in the 10th. 2. Not knowing Abreu could run for the pitcher. 3. Garcia steal attempt. 4. Hamilton not bunting/ not able to bunt with pitcher on 3rd 5. Hamilton at the plate swinging away instead of literally anyone else on the planet Bottom line, only reason Hamilton should be at the plate in that situation instead of a pinch hitter is if he's bunting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By peripherals, the Twins should be 3-3 in extra inning games and not 0-6. Otoh, LaRussa managing has also led to at least a 3 game swing, where we should be 9 games over .500 sheerly from a statistical standpoint. And running away with the division, but now we’re in a dogfight. Peripherals are important becuae baseball is a fickle sport. Kneejerk reactions don’t win games either.

chw42 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Can they take TLR out of the hall of fame? Cause him not knowing the rules should straight up disqualify him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marqhead Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I hate La Russa as much as the next guy, and he should obviously know the rules, but the offense needs more than 0 runs in 10 innings. That's why we lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said Hendriks is a closer so the 10th inning wasn't his thing, but for some reason he had him out there. God he is bad. Ok, I didn't see any of this game. Checking out the thread to see what happened, and... Hendriks as the runner? I must be misunderstanding you. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Investment savvy genius Reinsdorf spends all this money on payroll and brings in literally a stupid bum to manage the team La Russa is like De Niro at the end of Jackie Brown. Just a pathetic shell loser version of himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
