Look at Ray Ray Run Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Not that I didn't expect it, but it's more concerning that Tony is doubling down and genuinely thinks he was right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Tony LaRussa might be one of the most overrated people in the HOF. Count the guy extremely lucky with the teams and players he had, because there is literally nothing this man brings as a competitive edge to his teams. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burger fields that ball cleanly and we're possibly not having this discussion. That's the thing though. Players will at times put managers in situations that suck and the good managers find ways to manage around that and win. TLR looks fine when his starter gives him 6 scoreless innings and his bullpen does its job, but when you give him a 50/50 situation to get out of, he's usually wrong. And in some cases, egregiously wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that almost everyone on this coaching staff is a TLR crony. So if they get rid of him and the replacement is in-house, I doubt anything really changes. It'll just be a less senile version of him. The problems in the org are deeper than just him. It probably starts with him, but it doesn't end there.

Ducksnort Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 It seems like this team only gets national attention when it's creating drama. Never good things. Except maybe TA FOD game. I thought that was the moment we were done with this dumb shit. The team is the laughing stock of the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) What a fucking lunatic. Sports is a fun thing to consume but there is very little anymore in Chicago to keep anyone interested. Bears, Hawks, Sux and Bulls are all run by a complete jokes of ownership groups and frankly do not deserve anyone's attention anymore.

Ducksnort Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Handedness matchups are such bullshit. I'm sick of hearing about it. There's much more that goes into getting a player out than just having a different dominant hand. I mean, look at Moncada and Grandal. Both switch hitters, because hitting the opposite hand of the pitcher is supposed to give an advantage. How's that working out for them? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I will say I hav enjoyed the CHGO post game shows this year, and I liked Herb Lawrence going after TLR for his tone with the media, especially since it sounded like Merkin was the one that asked the question (couldn't tell to be honest).

The Dodgers guys said this perfectly yesterday when criticizing Tony's lineup. Tony loves to put his lineups with alternating handedness and he'll do it at the expense of putting his better hitters lower in the order. Is it a coincidence that the game he pulled that shit we ended up scoring 1 run when the offense has actually been producing at least 3-4 runs with the more right handed dominant lineup? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
