greg775 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If Tony passes a physical and is healthy, I say go for it. He could win the 2-3 titles he'd have won had Hawk not fired him IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard pass, he is beyond his years, hasn’t managed in forever and just might be a step backwards from Renteria at this point with the way baseball analytics come into play. If Hahn signs LaRussa as the manager that just might be a fireable offense and has a lot of questions to answer in regards to his media answers from yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bochy said he was ready to listen. Hope they give him a long look. Very well respected with more managerial experience than just about anybody. At 65 he's not a kid but I'll bet he would listen to a 3-year plan. Let Jirschele be his bench coach and learn from a pro. Old school sitting next to analytics.

southsideirish71 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hiring Larussa would ruin this team. What next Dave Duncan to replace Cooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagahRagah Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) If the Sox actually rehire Larussa... I can't believe this is possible but it would completely reverse all the excitement I felt yesterday when they parted with Ricky and Coop. Would be a huge step backwards after a huge step forward (that I think most of us didn't think would even happen). Hopefully this is about as true as how Arenado was "for sure" coming to Chicago. But guys like Bob actually pushing this that hard is just a tad nerve-wracking. Edited October 13, 2020 by KonerkoFan1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be that or they are hiring someone else too. The first candidates named are sometimes the ones that aren’t hired. We shall see.

Met Bochy once at a bar in Milwaukee after a game when they were playing the Brewers; it was the night of the Villanova National Title game and the guy had like 75k on Nova. Really cool guy, and everything I've ever heard about him from anyone around baseball and on the Giants is that he's great.

Comes with a ton of credibility and would attract top-tier coaches as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not have won it all but they would still be a top AL team. This speaks more to the quality of their FO than to the quality of Hinch. And again, in game decisions are easy to make when Altuve knows what pitch is coming in his next PA. That aside, I wonder if Bochy would be willing to come, and take Jireshele (sp?) as his bench coach. I think im warming to the idea of experience + up and comer as the manager/bench coach pairing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not, though. Like at all. Things like lineups, bullpen/pitching management, defensive alignments/changes have nothing to do with knowing what pitch is coming, and those were people's biggest gripes about Ricky around here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaRussa speaks Spanish, I'm almost certain. His mother was Spanish. Not for me. I want to remember him as I last saw him, in the dugout at the ASG the year after he retired, wearing TV makeup.

Dick Allen Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Bochy has managed 25 seasons and is under .500 for his career. His teams have won 90 or more games 4 times in those 25 years, and he is 65. I believe his time has passed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I want a veteran but not a super old guy, he should be under 60 but definitely well under 70. So no la russa, sciocia or bochy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I think they’re just getting names out there. They’ll interview different guys for a couple weeks, including minority candidates, and then Hinch will officially interview in early November, and be named the next Sox manager around November 10. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
