pcq Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 16 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: No one is going to sign for less money just for the chance to play for Tony, and no one isn’t going to not take JRs money if it’s the best offer out there because Tony is in the dugout. Tony isn’t going to be the difference between being good and being bad. He may be the difference between being good and being great. I think you have to question his energy. You would think at the press conference he would be about as fired up as can be, but it seemed like he was going to fall asleep a few times while answering questions the way the White Sox wanted him to answer them. I question what will happen by August. He is old, and it isn’t an easy job. It will be interesting to see the make up of the staff. I would only like this if there was an asst mgr to run the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Stroman was the one who squashed that little beef they had when Tim was taking stuff personal on the field between the two of them, I'd say the opposite.

mqr Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) IRT Stroman putting it out there that the manager isn't relevant......of course he is going to put that out there as his public position regardless of what he actually thinks.

No one cared about Timmy then, but for me and CWS and maybe a few others! I welcome you all onto the "what does tim want, that's what I want" wagon, but just know you're arriving late and youre not calling the shots. Haha I’ve been on this wagon for years. Tim has been my fav player since being called up. He is clearly the team leader and just keeps getting better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said for 34 years firing TL has bothered JR so much, that now he brings him back. But is the 76 year old TL the same manager as the 42 year old version? He is well into the losing brain cells portion of life. Has not managed the last 9 seasons. To think he is the same guy he was when he last made out a line up card might be reached. It's common sense. You don't stop doing something for 9 years at any age and go back to it and be just as good. Even worse when you're ancient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't even faze me. I hope they win, but whatever. Literally par for the course. Even more so historically as an organization. When a 100+ year organization doesn't know how to make the playoffs in consecutive years, self-sabotaging moves with no regard to the fan base at all whatsoever should be expected. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetman Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Today he sounded about the same as he always did. Parkins was complaining he wasn't fired up. LaRussa has never been fired up unless he's yelling at an umpire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember many laughing at me when I said Tim Anderson had the best hands I'd ever seen at the plate; there have been people who were equal, but no one had ever been better. Even a dumass like myself gets a few right now and then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
