I couldn’t decide on a 5th so I went with the guy who won the title. I almost went with Bob Lemon as #5. I’ve been a fan since ‘72. Too young to really remember if Tanner was good just liked him because he managed “my” team. I really like Torborg and think Lamont is underrated. I know I’m in the minority, but I didn’t mind Manual and never liked Ozzie even as they were winning it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a soft spot for Lamont because he treated my family with great respect at a Spring Training game in Florida. Posed for pictures...gave my daughter the signed lineup card for the day's game...and talked with all of us like he appreciated that we came down to talk to him. Ozzie lost me when his kids were allowed to stick their noses into club business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Serious question: do we actually know that TLR was forced upon Hahn/KW by JR, or are we all just assuming that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe to assume hiring Tony LaRussa was not on Hahn's bucket list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy Hahn described as who they wanted for manager in his after season press conference was definitely not Tony LaRussa. 2. The marketing team sent out an email about the hiring of LaRussa with AJ Hinch's signature on it. I think the majority in the FO probably wanted Hinch. It could very well be that Jerry had an issue with hiring Hinch after the Astros cheating scandal and wanted to hire LaRussa as the alternative.

They even laundered the hiring through Bob to soften the blow. And bent over backwards to not comment on the DUI. Any other candidate they quietly move on from immediately.

All you have to do is go back to the introductory press conference for TLR and you will see it all over RH face that it was not his decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after an April contract extension because the front office in Toronto actually wants to win and thinks they have a chance. Yet we're stuck with the worst performing GM in all of sports and a braindead vampire in the dugout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
