Quin Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 La Russa said Hendriks was ready for the 10th if it was tied. Tony is the dude who plans out his entire life by freshman year of college, but doesn't make a backup plan for when he fails the classes to get into his chosen major.

We have some really dumb fucking fans following this team. 2-1 losses happen folks. And LaRussa can go fuck off, for other reasons. Not this game. I'm just mad he had Marshall in the game. C'mon. Tony isn't a dumb guy and that's a ridiculous guy to have in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're gonna lose games anyway so TLR deserves no blame for managing another game poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team was lifeless against the SP, but TLR continues to make questionable calls which does not help his case. With all the off field baggage, his MBGA mindset, and blah decisions in game I can’t imagine a worse way for the first two months of his tenure going. *Edit* I’m going to edit real quick and add we could have a worse record, but I truly believe we’d be in the same position with or without him.

harkness99 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 listen the loss was certainly not ALL on Tony - it was as much on other failures. But leaving marshall in when you have a rested bullpen was a bad bad bad decision... he basically punted the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony has done nothing this year to show he’s not a dumb guy now. It’s honestly baffling how many stupid decisions he makes on and off the field. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vaughn wasn’t safe it was at least close enough to challenge. I think he was safe. Fucking tlr I thought he looked safe too as it happened.

A couple inches and Vaughn is a hero, TLR is a hero for trusting his rookie and Boone is getting flamed for pitching Chapman in a non-save situation. Teams lose 60 games a year because of inches decided by coinflip outcomes. By your logic, every losing manager in every game is a total asshole asleep at the wheel. That’s actually an interesting stance to take and would make for a fun discussion. Sadly, that’s not your stance. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 If you are Hahn, you should ask Tony politely why he had Marshall in the game when every Sox fan in America knew at that moment Sox would lose the game OR simply DFA Marshall and send Tony a text telling him Marshall is gone.

Bob Sacamano Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I would have liked Hamilton to steal against a shitty catcher and give Leury a chance. If you're not running with Hamilton every chance you get, you're not using him correctly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are obsessed with cop outs and deflections and can never just admit a manager made bad decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that’s why I’ve never had a DUI Heuer has pitched 6 innings in May and given up 12 hits and 6 earned runs. I think you can flip a coin between him and Marshall. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Tray and jerksticks remind me of these two fans that sat in front of our season tickets for years. They went to a ton of games and you'd guess they really understood the game and then eberytime they talked to each other, you were so confused because it felt like it was their first game ever. Those same guys who at work say they have 30 years of experience but actually have less then 1 year experience 30 times over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in my car listening on SIRIUS and the NYY announcer was quite animated screaming that Hamilton is in the game to run NOW. First pitch even, His color person agreed Hamilton was in to steal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are obsessed with cop outs and deflections and can never just admit a manager made bad decisions. Marshall entering in the 8th with runners on the corners was a bad process that worked out in a miraculous way. 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
