What if Tony put in Liam and he pitched a 35 pitch inning before giving up the winning run ? Hasn't Hendriks been lit up late, including home runs to RF ? You can Monday morning quarterback every decision. That doesn't make you smarter than any major league Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t count all of The games LaRussa has tried to give away as wins for this reason. But when a player makes a high leverage mistake, we will call him out. This is a high leverage mistake. Again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 One question for the TLR stans: Why didn’t he shift against Judge? Same for Cruz, JD Martinez and other dead pull hitters? Kinda curious how you can rationalize that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 shitty decision to stick with marshall. no defending that. I don't mind going to him he had decent stuff but ffs get bummer in there or Liam for the 9th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't compare last year to this year. Last year was a meatball for a schedule playing only the central teams. And the thump in the lineup was night and day. I don't think LaRussa has done much to that effect, but I do feel Katz has played a huge role in helping out this rotation. Now he just needs to figure out what to do with this shit of a bullpen.

He ended up facing 5 hitters and didn't fool 4 of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch way too many baseball games every day around the league. You almost never see a manager pitch the worst reliever on their roster in the 9th inning of a tie game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took an incredible play by TA and some stupid baserunning on a line drive rocket. TLR then doubled down on the bad idea. How did that work out? Like I said, sometimes bad decisions work in your favor, and this game was evident of that. I also said that the more bad decisions you make the more bad results you will have. This game was also evident of that. Some people just don't learn anything and are whimsical when they watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Oh well, I'm over the loss now. Marshall did get out of the jam in the 8th I guess. Maybe he's worth keeping around. Bats were silent tonight and a triple play is really bad luck. I was really surprised and happy Sox won the final game of that Twins series after the happenings of Game 2. So maybe Sox will come back and win tomorrow. Oh well, I feel better after venting. I'm over it. Adios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind going to him he had decent stuff but ffs get bummer in there or Liam for the 9th. I'm sure there were plenty of questions about Marshall in the 8th but he did good. Well a line out bailed him out. But I'm thinking ok who's coming in the 9th. Very shocked to see it was still Marshall. Once Hamilton didnt steal 2nd and Leury got on with the bunt. I was thinking OK double steal here !? Or does Larussa subscribe to not making the 1st out at 3rd base ? I though nah he has to steal to double steal here. Way easier for Hamilton to steal 3rd and you know the Yankees are going to throw to 3rd to try and get the lead runner. Can't let Vaughn hit into a DP here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
