It'll bite. Maeda also strikes me as the prototype Japanese pitcher that quickly falls apart due to insane usage earlier in their career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just treat Tony the same way. The players probably laugh about it Except this is the exact opposite. Players clearly not laughing about it. How you live with this level of cognitive dissonance?

He has just spooked me with the homeruns he gave up since our home park can be a bandbox when it gets warmer. I will try to be better when speaking of our Aussie closer in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key was that he could get his breaking balls going. Other than the Cruz homer, our pitchers got away from throwing fast balls in the zone to Sano and Cruz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t been awful but there are a couple games where he blew it but I think that’s pretty typical of every closer now and than. He still has electric stuff.

Giolito praising him in the post game. Key was not calling for fast balls in the zone to Sano, Cruz and Polanco. Yesterday we lost on threefastballs in the zone to Sano. Looks like they learned this lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"objective opinion" is oxymoronic. Just part of the LaRussa derangement syndrome that has consumed some fans like politics has. Accept that Tony is the White Sox Manager and that Biden is President.

You have really lost it. Of all of the people to give cult like devotion to, this is the 2nd strangest one. No idea what the politics has to do with it, but the only derangement is by those who can see this disaster unfolding in really slow motion and thing that everything is fine. You need to accept that the man isn't the best person to be managing the White Sox these days, and he is making a lot of self inflicted dumb mistakes. Laugh react or not, anyone who can't accept that has no idea about the game of baseball. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can also laugh at the posters on Soxtalk all you want, but you can't hand wave away a good chunk of the Sox roster taking Yermin's side here, and not a single one, even his own coaching staff, taking a public stand with Tony. THAT should be red flag for anyone whose head isn't buried somewhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
