Probably ends up with this one going out into the national/regional/local sports media universe, too. Maybe that's actually a good thing for the White Sox fanbase, for the front office to understand the depth of feelings/emotions...but it's going to get SoxTalk some more unwanted attention for all the wrong reasons, unfortunately. Someone like Merkin or whoever will pick up on this and use it as even yet another reason to double down on defending TLR...carrying water for defending his every action because that's what JR wants (until it becomes untenable.) Sox would be better off if TLR goes on medical leave ( rehab?) and have someone else take over.

tray Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Stop saying that they threw at Yermin. They didn't. The ball was thrown low and slow bouncing in behind his feet. That wasn't bean ball . None of the White Sox took it that way, not even Yermin. It was simply made as a counterpoint to what was kind of an @hole in-yo-face move by Yermin, No harm, no foul but they made a point. Don't show us up at our own ballpark with shenanigans like that. And they did it without endangering Yermin or causing a bench clearing brawl. That is precisely how it should have been handled. My only difference with LaRussa's decisions in that game was deciding to allow Bummer to pitch to Sano with first base open....after he hit 2 home runs. LaRussa played it by the book, - don't walk and allow the winning run to come to the plate. But again, I would have gone against the book on that one. Tony probably feels the same way in hindsight. I also am starting to get concerned about our bullpen and Andrew Vaughn. Vaughn is starting to look like easy pickings for pitchers with decent sliders. Vaughn does not seem to be effective with two strikes and has disappointed in numerous clutch situations. Edited May 19, 2021 by tray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 You should at least have your player's back IN PUBLIC and WITH THE MEDIA. If you call him out, do it privately in the clubhouse through a one-on-one, closed door/s meeting. Completely unnecessary manufactured drama, a Sox specialty for a CENTURY plus now, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don’t think TAs reaction meant anything?! The only reason nothing escalated was because the umps actually responded quickly. You really think Duffey meant to miss him? Yermin didn’t look to happy to have that ball sail by him. Plus why wait until that late in the game?! Why wait until you bring somebody in from the pen who throws harder than that big softy they had starting tonight?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot let Sano beat you. You do not throw him a fast ball strike, just sliders or walk him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innings limit for Kopech? If so, no faith in Heuer or Crochet, understandable. Why the 9th for Bummer? Again, baffling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtom Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Sox lost this game because they could not add on more runs against one of the worst bullpens in MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
