Nothing wrong with that post but you have to analyze each situation. What that TLR has done as a manager that sticks out as a smart decision? Bunting with Billy on 1st isn't smart just because they both ended up safe.

This just absolutely cannot be a serious post. It just can't.

Yes, that is what I'm saying. And it is evident. Sorry, but I'm going to call a spade a spade. As Rey already said, it's like being the guy with 30 years experience who somehow knows very little about the job. But it's the unwillingness to even try to understand the facets of the game and just be dismissive of every criticism that is telling.

Your point is fucking moot. You posed a challenge and when he asked you to do it yourself you balk. Clearly you can't so you were just jerking yourself off and you really don't have a point.

For the record I never said he lost all those games, just potentially. Surely you agree.

Let me ignore all the analytics and use one example to support my view that happened to work out even though it was a dumb decision.

Greg... that might be the best damn thing you've ever posted and I fully endorse it.

Problem isn't even that these guys don't know much about baseball but that they don't even want to learn. To them, every decision can be second guessed so therefore no decision is questionable. Zero analytical thinking, it's a wonder you can even make it through life with a mindset like that.

Like I said, sometimes bad decisions work in your favor, and this game was evident of that. I also said that the more bad decisions you make the more bad results you will have. This game was also evident of that. Some people just don't learn anything and are whimsical when they watch.

Their seeming assertion that a manager is never to blame for a bad decision because of second guessing is just really precious.

No. Like I said, good decisions are made by thought process, not results. You guys are obsessed with cop outs and deflections and can never just admit a manager made bad decisions.

Nah. We're just dumb. You're gonna lose games anyway so TLR deserves no blame for managing another game poorly.

Yes. It's dumb to think people should be held accountable for making obviously bad decisions. Luckily, I think all I need to do is add about 3 users to my ignore list and I won't have to see much more of this TLR apologist bullshit.

This season is really exposing people who don't know anything about baseball.

I sense some denial and deflection.

By doing something completely unnecessary.

LaRussa managed poorly so it perfectly reasonable to lay some blame to him. Accountability only applies when you want it to and if you don't want to then other people are dumb. OK.

This is called a deflection. You are ignoring the point and using a cop out. Tony fell asleep at the wheel again AND we played like shit. That was absolutely not a great game, saying it was is absolutely fucking oblivious.

A few people here really not realizing Marshall being in for two innings in a tie game is bad... my God.

It's only the truth to someone who doesn't pay any actual attention to the game.

Someone who says there's nothing to be mad about in another poorly managed game. So you.

To say it's hard to be mad... when some more really bad managerial decisions were made? A select few of you clearly don't absorb anything when you watch baseball.

Why do you literally lie to yourself?

TLR just should not be managing, it's as simple as that.

LaRussa possibly cost the Sox another game.
