If anything was gutsy, it was letting start the 2nd, thankfully he either came ro his senses or someone awoke him from his nap. Lynn fared no better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no poster here who has kept a daily chart of sideline sessions, minor aches and pains, bullpen sessions, how often pitched, how many pitches thrown, studied film or has any idea on how to maintain and run an MLB pitching staff. In the preseason we went from everyone thinking we had a lockdown BP to wtf is happening. Gone are those preseason heros like Heuer, Foster, Marshall. A lot of the faces have changed and Kopech and Crochet are enduring their 1st full seasons and we are seeing the ups and downs of that and keeping them as fresh and healthy as possible. No one can say for sure whats going on with Kimbrel. It's hard to explain the vast difference in 1st half results with the Cubs to results with us. Liam has had struggles too. On paper this BP looks like it should dominate now. All you can do is play the guys who are supposed to be the best and hope they pitch like the best. There is still time to right the ship and for them all to get settled in their roles . You want me to believe that TLR has more detailed information about his pitching staff than the message board managers? Relief pitcher does well: Great job <insert relief pitcher's name>! Relief pitcher does poorly: TLR is a f'in idiot! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWINFan Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 After the first two miserable games against the Cubs, I don't have any appreciation of Tony LaRussa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Meaningless games in the grand scheme. 1 good thing 1 bad thing. Reylo continued to pitch well and Kimbrel who many thought shouldn't be in the game failed his test. Yes he was in there for one reason and that was to see if the things he had mentioned he was working on were fixed in a situation where if he got hit hard it wouldn't matter. No fix that day. Maybe soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaroldSouthside Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Good Tony: TLR seems to still be able to understand a clubhouse. He leverages the veterans. Smart He is overly dependent on the lefty/righty matchups when making a lineup but but his lineups usually do make some sense. He uses his bench more than fans want but come playoff times he hasn’t ran his team into the ground. Also smart. Bad Tony: For the love of god I have never imagined he would be this horrific, awful, terrible and embarrassingly bad at in-game decisions especially about his bullpen/ pitching staff. He literally makes two or three unacceptable decisions a week. He is not fit to be a manager. Ricky was better than Tony with the bullpen, and I can’t imagine a worse criticism towards a manager. (Tony is still way better than Terry Bevington) 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
