I know their current teams are not doing well now, but they are better managers than TLR. I agree. TLR looks like he is sleep walking in the dugout instead of alert and managing the team like he’s supposed to.

Had a chance to go with the pitch and drive a game winning hit to right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie4Pres Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 If the manager isn't responsible for the team playing good fundamental baseball, maintaining focus, and their plate approach, WHAT THE FUCK IS HE ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR? The TLR apologists are more infuriating than he is. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of preparation and consistency is atrocious though. TA shouldn't be playing the way he is on defense. The team needs to take pitches while hitting. Yeah I don’t blame Tony for this loss actually. Far more on the left side of the infield and Hendriks. Also, be nice if our two highest paid offensive players didn’t go 0-10.

He's still probably over the long haul going to lead this team to the division title. Tonight was the worst loss of his tenure except for last postseason. But the team figures to wake up once it learns the Central Division teams have the Sox number and it will take extra effort to beat them. The fact the Sox only get up for games outside the division is sad. Offensively Grandal needs to go on one of his hot streaks. He's not looking too good.

Tony forces the team to play every game with 1 hand tied behind their back. To be clear, he isn't responsible for *all* of the Sox issues. Far from it. But trying to win with a manager that's a total liability is a hindrance, there's no question about it.
