Everyone's favorite Bruce is getting shitty with the Score morning show right now about holding TLR accountable.  I encourage you to listen to an old head hand-wave any responsibility for any of this

Is it possible that several of our guys are underperforming because they're tired of playing for this guy? I get that professional athletes should be self-motivated, and it appears that at least TA and Jose are, but perhaps TLR is wearing some other guys down?

Edited to add: I'm not saying this to make excuses for players who aren't performing, I'm just suggesting that TLR's impact might be more severe than we are even saying.

I definitely buy that there could be some “TLR doesn’t give a shit, why should I?” energy in the clubhouse, knowing that nothing is going to change no matter what.

It sure is what explains what I have seen through the first third of this season.

"Manager is drunk and half assing it half of the time, why should I bust my ass every night?" has to enter into the back of these guy's minds eventually.

I have read a lot of Phillies tweets this and last season which are basically saying the same Shit we complain about with TLR

Yeah, I just read the Phillies subreddit and they all seem to think Girardi checked out and didn't give a shit. 

Girardi doesn't have the benefit of his bullpen being good though. I'm sure if our bullpen was as bad as the Phillies', we'd be 10+ games under .500 at this point.

This move is the equivalent of firing LaRussa and leaving Cairo/McEwing in charge. 

blah. 

The Sox need a major ass cleaning, Manager, coaches, scouting, GM, whatever the fuck KW does.  

All of them gone. 

Firing LaRussa isn't going to do shit, sorry to break the news folks.

Yep. Unfortunately that won't happen until there is a new owner in place. And then you scorch the front office and coaching staff.

I heard that. What a joke. Doesn't want to put any blame on Tony or the organization of course. Nobody is at fault, it's all because of injuries according to Bruce. I wish Chicago reporters weren't so spineless when it comes to questioning Jerry's organizations.

He started off on a false premise with what Grote said earlier, and just kept going

So they aren't the Phillies 

I don't see any difference between losing in the ALDS and missing the playoffs. In fact, losing in the ALDS is worse than missing the playoffs all together.
