Dick Allen Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Not caring about results because that is too easy is all the proof you need this guy is all about trying to show everyone how smart he thinks he is rather than winning a baseball game. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still thankful that the Sox stayed in Chicago after the Veecks, Harry Carey and moving broadcasts off free TV/ Channel 9 almost destroyed the franchise. That is a wider perspective that some of the younger more immature fans are probably incapable of understanding. The best way to have people tolerate Tony is obviously to mock them for not being old. What if I told you that age has nothing to do with maturity, and a guy like Tony is a prime example with his multiple arrests and race based accusations, among his history? But apparently you are too old for that conversation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopek Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 If you don’t care about results, stop inserting Leury into the lineup because he’s 5 for 18 off some dude in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 4 hours ago, southsider2k5 said: I will say there has been a balancing act between trying to get more out of his starters and not destroying his pen. That bullpen has been an injury riddled mess for so much of the season that sometimes you HAVE to get more out of your starters, even if you really want to go to the pen. So many sore arms and injuries make it a lot more difficult than "he should have gone to the pen" I get WAY more upset about the situational stuff, and really not having a grasp of baseballs rules, etc. Agreed. Looked up the game I was referencing. Fifth start of the season, Lucas threw 114 pitches by the time he was pulled, with Detroit turning a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead before Lucas was finally pulled. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHA/CHA202104270.shtml It was the disconnect with what was occurring, and also between Lucas' statements and Tony's opposite take. This was the second incident, after leaving Foster in forever in Seattle, that led me to believe Tony was out of his element far beyond my initial fears pre-season.

I was angry early on because pretty much everything was obvious and predictable. Now that it is happening, I feel helpless and disconnected. I watch less and go less. On 6/28/2022 at 11:08 AM, wegner said: Yep, apathetic seems to be the more common sentiment and that is where I am as well. But there's usually a layer of anger in there too. I think a lot of Sox fans were really looking forward to a great summer of baseball and then we got whatever this is. There’s a layer of disgust now for me that has replaced the earlier anger. I float between apathy and disgust, they aren’t even worth getting angry over any more. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I float between apathy and disgust, they aren’t even worth getting angry over any more. It was absolutely disgust for me at the only game I've seen in person as the Sox lost to the Orioles 4-0. I sat and watched Baltimore totally out play them fundamentally, especially defensively. Once again, I understand why they fired him but this team under Renteria was fun to watch and easy to root for. This team under LaRussa is frustrating and not very entertaining. I don't know if they've quit on him but this team's problems go way deeper than injuries. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 After this series, everyone will be wondering how the Giants almost won 110 games last year and are still hanging in the middle of the WC race with that lineup 1-9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Tony is garbage but there is an overall lack of fundamentals and winning baseball structure in the organization as a whole it seams. How does Burger reach MLB with that horrible back hand technique at 3rd base? The total lack of patience and quality at bats has also been a staple of this organization for the last 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailing early (and certainly can't blame that all on Keuchel anymore) can be demoralizing... if you let it get to you. Seems like that can be where a manager actually does something to get the most out of their players. Ricky's boys something something...
