ThirdGen Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 2 minutes ago, chw42 said: I'm guessing his health probably played a role in that. 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. We don't know what health problem he was diagnosed with in February, nor did we know about the heart issue. But it seems abundantly clear he should have resigned in February when diagnosed. He stated that the health issue didn't affect him this year but it obviously did. And JR should have taken care of it when it became obvious. He was a totally different person this year than last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's what happens when Low Energy Tony is your manager. The official medical designation is 'Low T' 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you not like the hire? Honestly I’m just so fed up with the organization and due to their track record I don’t think they deserve the benefit of the doubt with anything they do.

That's fair. I am cautiously optimistic with the Grifol hire. But I tend to be a glass half-full kind of guy, and I am already getting excited for next season.

chw42 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Apparently, the hiring process this time was similar to when the Bulls hired AK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my knee jerk reaction to his hiring too, but the more I dig in the more I like him. I’m quite impressed with him in this presser. We just have to hope that he implements everything he’s talking about and it’s not just talk. This is a breath of fresh air vs past hires, so he gets the benefit of the doubt from me.

hogan873 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 So it sounds like TLR essentially woke up from a nap, haphazardly put together a lineup, stood around on the field during batting practice (most likely achieving some standing naps), and then napped in the dugout. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t he just a catching coach also during that time? I don't really think World Series rings or pennants are the kinds of *achievements that need scare quotes.
