Of all of the people to give cult like devotion to, this is the 2nd strangest one. No idea what the politics has to do with it, but the only derangement is by those who can see this disaster unfolding in really slow motion and thing that everything is fine. You need to accept that the man isn't the best person to be managing the White Sox these days, and he is making a lot of self inflicted dumb mistakes. Laugh react or not, anyone who can't accept that has no idea about the game of baseball. Can we attribute some success to TLR? Yes. Its always disingenuous to only blame a manager for losses but give no credit for wins. (though some can be in spite of it) But to say there is nothing wrong or not have an objective opinion of this slow-moving car crash in a manager's uniform is ignoring what is going on with this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you live with this level of cognitive dissonance? Clearly? It seems to me they are making great sport of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCsoxfan Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 This is going to sound odd, but there’s a certain amount of Donald Trump in TLR. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has just spooked me with the homeruns he gave up since our home park can be a bandbox when it gets warmer. I will try to be better when speaking of our Aussie closer in the future. His ERA looks good. But the blown saves haven’t. Im not sure how comparable he has been across the league, but its all about being clutch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing about this team is even the scrubs can contribute once and awhile. Sox have not had a team like that very often in the last 20 years.

They need to get him regular work in high leverage situations and not stay tied to the traditional save situations. He seems so much sharper with regular use.

First, for obvious reasons, second, because i want to see a bat flip to the moon. I don't think he's done one this year. Could he have gotten the memo? Or just a year older?
