Quin Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 When we said fire the manager this is not what we meant. Also, this makes me feel like something awful is happening down in Charlotte. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 So this made me think to ask this question: How much of playing time at the minors is dictated by the major league club and how much is the minor league manager's discretion?

South Side Hit Men Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Was there some type of scandal disclosed? Pretty early in the season to pull a move like this without something unexpected occurring. Hell, it's 21 games less than Ricky got before being fired after his extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Well hopefully this means the Sox will start holding all employees to a higher standard of conduct. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxForce2 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 My first thought is, did the Knights or the Sox do the firing? Or some combination of actions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
