AWFULNESS. This team will lose a postseason game because they’re allergic to hitting fly balls with someone on third with less than 2 outs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times. Still can't decide if this or "TA should be a catcher" is the most absurd take I've read on this forum. It's a toss-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is they will fire Tingler and try to bring in Francona, Bochy, etc.…whereas the White Sox losing to Houston won’t even out a dent in LaRussa’s protective armor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His station to station style, never putting a runner in play, is not working. The worst move of the game was leaving Cease in too long. Should have been out before giving up that home run. Next worst move was subbing Hamilton for Gonzalez, and then pinch hitting Sheets for Hamilton in the same inning. Can't burn two guys in one spot in the same inning in a one run game that might go to extras. Once those moves were made, the 10th pretty much played out the only way it could. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So everyone remember the part where Hamilton was used for a 1 inning replacement in the 8th and then Tony said “oops” and used Sheets in the 9th? Woulda been nice to not do that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
