chw42 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Them harping on communication and collaboration this much makes me think Tony just sat around in his office and didn't talk to anyone.

chw42 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Griftol saying that the Sox didn't have high energy last year. I guess that's what happens when Low Energy Tony is your manager.

chw42 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Hahn bringing up changes to pre-game planning for the offense. I guess that's something that Tony didn't do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 So Tony and this team offensively really did nothing to prepare to play the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was pretty easy to see that these guys weren’t prepared every game and had no coherent approach at the the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox absolutely killed starters in 2021. So either we got lucky all year in 2021 or there was some planning going into 2021, but not so much in 2022.

Lip Man 1 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Just some info regarding some of the comments: Matt Spiegel of 670 the Score reported that Daryl Boston will also not be returning. And it was Kenny Williams who JR personally told his parents that he would take care of him when the Sox were trying to get him to sign a contract instead of continuing to play football at Stanford. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 If Griftol is just a decent manager, he'll look lightyears better than Tony. La Russa being out of the game for 10 years and him being 77 really put the Sox at a huge disadvantage every night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he’s like a kid out of college at a job interview who keeps saying the same buzzword. Not saying it’s bad or anything, it’s just repetitive.

Why would he, he's a HOF Manager and he thinks no one is smarter. Case in point would any other Manager thinking of Intentionally walking someone with 2 strikes. Hard to find a genius like TLR.
