soxfan49 Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 We can all sit and type clever shit all day long, but it boils down to this: this is unacceptable. I don't care if Garcia goes 3-4 today. He is absolutely not putting the team in the best position to win. I never would've thought it would come to this. I'm almost disgusted. He's going to pull this shit in a playoff game too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmmmbeeer Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Tony, once again, putting his ego above the team. He's an incorrigible old fuck that cares more about being proven "right" about illogical decisions than just going out and doing the job of manager. What could possibly be so difficult about putting together a lineup and sticking with it outside of the occasional shuffle to account for SP handedness, injuries, or starters just needing a break? Winning managers don't pull this shit. And I refuse to believe that this won't inevitably lead to him losing this team. These guys are professionals, work hard to win games, and have waited a long time to compete for a ring. You think they're happy with this b.s.? You think these lineups make sense to them? How do you think Engel and Vaughn feel about playing for this numbskull? How about uber-competitive guys like TA or Lucas? Who, outside of Jose, has the clout in that clubhouse to put Tony on the spot and call him out for this stupidity? Is Rick fearful of losing his job if he challenges Tony? This is all such a clusterfuck and it's all because of our dumbass owner. Edited April 21, 2022 by mmmmmbeeer 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, he hits left handed and the just turned 24 year old Vaughn can't play 3 baseball games in 24 hours even after 3 days off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn is a kid who doesn't need a day off after a double header and two days off. I used to play 100+ games a summer in travel ball with double and triple headers on the weekends all the time. These are grown men. There's no reason that the reserves should play as often as they do these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 The Sox consider themselves a championship caliber team. But... would a championship caliber team bat Garcia 3rd two games in a row before clinching the 1 seed? Would the Dodgers, Mets, Yankees, Phillies, Rays, Astros, and Giants do this? If they wouldn't then we shouldn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wouldn't then we shouldn't. I agree with your point, but the Astros actually did bat Niko Goodrum (utility player whose bat is worse than Leury's) 3rd in a game earlier this year. TLR and Dusty are the only 2 managers in baseball that would do something like this. There is a reason both of those guys should have stopped managing a decade plus ago, with all due respect to both of them.

He thinks he's a starter, and managers try to get starters hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Leury has 2 fucking hits on the season. He's got more errors than hits and he's hitting fucking third. It's so absurd. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so absurd. He was really running the bases though. He's short enough, Tony should let him run the bases with the kids in the stands after Sunday home games since he doesn't have much of an opportunity to run them racking of 0 fors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijames1957 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 TLR is a stubborn 77 yr old man who is set in his ways of thinking and isn't going to change.

Yeah the only time he really is in the lineup against righties is when the bench is short and guys are dealing with minor injury issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
