iWiN4PreP Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 makes no fucking sense to have lamb at 2 but we are the #1 team in MLB, best run differential, numerous power rankings have us #1 or at least in the top 3, so fuck it, management/TLR can do w.e. they want because results are showing for a team that has had 2 critical injuries. just enjoying the ride im sure in 1 or 1.5 months from now when things start to hit the shitter, i'll be at their throats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what Tony does, he will never be given credit. However, once the team goes into an inevitable slump/ losing streak it will all be blamed on him. I have felt like that at times...no credit for anything but oh boy, should I make a mistake.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, I was only half way watching to be honest after that bullshit scene where Chad Bradford thanks him because no one ever gave him a shot before. Listen jerk, I have been to 3 playoff games in my White Sox fandom career and in one of them, I had to watch your sorry ass pitch. Sorry for the rant...my wife said I should let that go and I should take her advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, from reading the whole thread I'd say some don't expect it at all. The Twins could be actually testing out a rookie to see what he's got. I think we see someone on the Sox HBP today and maybe early in the game. However, if they do that their BP sucks and is overworked so maybe it doesn't happen at all or happens late from one of the BP arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
