Bob Sacamano Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Also, when a position player takes the mound, you're not respecting the game by throwing him. All (dumb) unwritten rules should go out the window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. This - it feels like the movie major league - in this case - you can replace the owner with the manager. Feels like the team is basically like - we got this and we will crush it regardless of what he does to sabotage this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulture Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I don’t get it. Are they worried about Astudillo’s pitching stats? He saved him from throwing more pitches they should be thanking him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrankinSox Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Is Tony wrong on this? Yes. Does it matter? No. This is a bigger deal to soxtalk and twitter than it is to anyone in that clubhouse. They're probably laughing at how old school Tony is. You think Yermin cares at all? He's not a precious flower. He has more stones than that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanSoxFan Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 TA should get a raise for being the player manager while Reinsdorf is doing a weekend at bernie‘s bit with Tony in the dugout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) It's funny, when things are going well with this team, I kinda forget about my dislike of LaRussa to the point where I forget they even have a manager lol. But then he opens his mouth. Just keep winning baby. Edited May 18, 2021 by manbearpuig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I thought one of the biggest "unwritten" rules of baseball was not to criticize your own players to the media. Not long ago, he was bending over backwards to downplay the struggles of his white pitcher. Now he calls out his Dominican DH. Yes, I said it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I picture them telling Yermin to not worry about it and to move on and just let Tony ramble. It's kind of like a family party where Tony is the senile grandpa who is just talking about god knows what and no one is really listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone was mentioning the best clubhouse he was a part of was the Orioles and they all hated Earl Weaver. I legitimately think in this case - it is the great unifier in the clubhouse right now (as sad as that sounds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
