Here...here's a ton more media members piling on. But yes, they are ALL wrong and there is no big deal with a 76 year old LaRussa running over his rookie in public for "bad sportsmanship" because too many people are being mean to the White Sox manager. Didn't know you were this soft... lol we call this a dogpile. blue checkmark media types love a good dogpile. especially when it concerns something they know nothing about like the dynamics of a professional locker room. they hate it cause they ain't it.

GermanSoxFan Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The #1 job of a manager in today’s game is man management. Tony is failing spectacularly at this. From the Passan article to now this, there has been a ton of smoke that some players dislike him to say the least. Say what you want about Ricky, the players loved him and loved playing for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure as hell wouldn't be nearly as productive at my workplace in the meantime because I would be too busy seething at what an asshole he was. Obviously baseball doesn't give Yermin the freedom to move around, but every single person in that clubhouse now knows their boss cares about some 20th century concept that he doesn't follow in his own life, more than he cares about their public reputations. That isn't conducive to a good team environment. The 70s are gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Fireworks Man Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 32 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: OK you can make the case he missed the take sign, but who is even paying attention to signs with a position player on the mound up 11? Tony left the dugout to put on a show for the Twins, but probably pissed off a few of his own players in the process. I don’t think it will lead to a losing streak, but this team seems it is going to be what it wants to be whether Tony likes it or not. 100% agree. If the issue was Mercedes ignoring a take sign he could have mentioned it to him after the game in the clubhouse. As you said, Mercedes probably wasn't paying attention to signs during a blowout with a position player pitching. Tony didn't have to come out of the dugout to put on a show to appease the Twins. Hell, he never shows that much emotion when the home plate umpires are squeezing his pitchers or screwing his hitters. Yet he felt it necessary because one of his players missed a take sign and hit a home run? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
