Dick Allen Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 7 minutes ago, Texsox said: I guess you missed the wild pitch that opened up first base. When there was a runner on first they pitched to him. Putting them in the same situation as if he just put him on to begin with, but a 1-2 count ? There he is trying to do what no other would do to try to look smart. He should be fired. JR will probably never have any idea how much money bringing him back cost him and his heirs. But I bet it will wind up being more than any contract he has doled out. This team was primed to be the toast of baseball for years. Now they only make headlines when their past the expiration date manager says or does something stupid. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s always been his MO. He’s smarter than everyone else. Just because it blew up in his face means nothing. The only time the result actually matters is when it goes in his favor. He’s an ego maniac. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiring La Russa to manage a young, exciting ball club that had a chance to take over the city will forever go down as one of the worst decisions in baseball history. That and refusing to seriously pursue Bryce Harper when there was little competition for him. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then what Muncy hits against lefties. As if he actually knew... Because the answer to those questions says....you pitch to Turner. Maybe TLR will drunk drive tonight at the White Sox charity event and end our misery. Edited June 9, 2022 by Paulie4Pres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there a quote right when he was hired about how he thinks todays players have a lot to learn?

I wonder how Max Muncy feels about that today. We were told TLR was brought in as a finisher, to take the next step and essentially to sand off the rough edges to make a contender into someone to be contended with. The team plays dumber baseball than they did two years ago. Katz is the only one that I care shows up to work tomorrow. La Russa was hired to fix the issues that a young, talented core had. No one can reasonably argue they look like a better, more disciplined team than the one that lost to Oakland. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense wasn't better last year than it was in 2020. It's not even worth comparing for this year. The only thing that's improved since 2020 is the pitching and Katz is probably responsible for most of that. I can't believe I actually miss Rick Renteria as manager. You know, the guy who experimented with Carlos Rodon as a reliever with the division on the line. The guy who probably broke Jimmy Cordero's elbow. The guy who loaded the bases to pitch to Christian Yelich. Edited June 9, 2022 by chw42 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 If the Phillies aren’t a smack in the face wake up call for what firing a manager that doesn’t connect with the players can do I’m not sure anything will be. Now 7-0 since firing Girardi. I have 0 doubt the team would absolutely perk up and get better without TLR 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Was busy working all day and thought by the box score that, oh man, Burger had a rough error and then the bullpen did it. Then MLB app was like "you gotta see this shit that La Russia did." Dude is only a Hall of Fame baseball person because of steroids and prime Albert Pujols. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
