It isn’t going to change the call no one thinks any calls are getting changed. its about showing your players you will stand up for them and not allow them to get it up the ass without a peep. Also in every sport... working the officials is a skill. Edited June 22, 2021 by harkness99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the actual effect it has on a team’s winning percentage and odds of achieving their goals is probably nil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill belecheck complaining about the calls was for the fans. yeah not really. measuring the effect.. yeah maybe its miniscule... but id argue most great coaches stick up for their players getting fucked by the refs.

Not egregious. I'm all for Tony standing up for his players but it needs to be worse than what was shown in this video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for the fans, it's for the players, it's part of the ritual that is Baseball. Prolly more effective in basketball, though, in that it can intimidate the refs over a period of time. Coach K in fake outrage can have that effect on carpet salesman moonlighting as zebras. MLB umps? No way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWINFan Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 How about this instead? Tell Moncada to stop playing back in bunting situations. Also remind your clean-up hitter he can't do it by himself no matter how important he thinks he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Does Larussa know Collins bats left handed? I still have a feeling he has no fucking idea who his players are. What percentage of Collins' starts are vs a left hander? 70%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins' starts are based on who is pitching for the Sox, not for the other team. It's just an unfortunate coincidence that the majority of times Giolito and Rodon start, a lefty is starting for the other team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I am still waiting to be blown away by these awesome strategic manager moves that Tony is supposed to be giving us. I was happy to see him hit the obvious one last night with how he handled Collins/Yas, but the bullpen management has been scary. It has just completely collapsed under him this season. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way. silly to think that coaches have no effect on officials... i guess you never saw bobby knight coach. plus its about showing the team you will fight for them.. regardless if it has any measurable effect on the outcome of calls.
