Look at Ray Ray Run

The game has always been about the players for dusty, never ever about dusty. To the contrary, the game has always been about Tony and what he gets out of HIS players. They are polar opposites. Tony larussa is the joe west of managers. Thinks fans pay to watch him count on his fingers how long the replay timer is lol

Never wished for him to die, just wanted him to come down with a bad throat ailment that prevented him from speaking and therefore had to step down very honorably!

The issue here is Tony doesn't think he did nothing wrong. Tony wanted the world to know he would never let his player swing there because Tony is stuck in an era that is long gone and he feels he is the last torch bearer from that era of crusty old fucks controlling the game from their dugout.

And the players know this. The nonsense earlier in the thread about larussa protecting his players by taking blame looks even funnier now. Tony thinks he's a teacher or a dad, not a professional coach. The old father figure nonsense was always offensive and professional sports have moved on. Mentors earn respect via support, not ridicule and snide criticism. The game past Tony by a decade ago and now it's lapped him multiple times since then. I'm convinced he had already lost the clubhouse earlier but this was just a dagger. Even shitty managers defend their guys.

It's somehow been much worse than I expected. This was his first chance to back the style of play he claimed he would when asked about Tim specifically after the hire, and instead of backing it he said his guy deserved to be thrown at. That's amazing

More fake national writer reports, and own-player comments. Everyone here is clueless, Tony is getting the most out of his guys and they love playing for him!

This is honestly a good point. This whole nonsense that they didn't throw at his head so no biggie is laughable. 93mph could literally break a knee cap, an ankle, a wrist. Tony was fine with one of his best players potentially being injured because he hit a home run, it's just a joke. I now get why Tim was so vocal in the dugout while this was going down today. He was showing support for his guy and sticking it to his manager

There's not a single player defending larussa. Larussa is just out of touch. I'd guess he sits in his office pregame and post, never talks with his guys and just shows up. This situation has shown these guys can not stand his ass.

For the 100000th time you can enjoy the players and team- in fact, I enjoy them so much it makes me hate larussa that much more for trying to take the joy out of how they play and for literally attacking his own guys and never defending them.

This pos has attacked his own team more than he's defended it. This is fucking unbelievable

I love gramdal and have liked the signing

Have you lost your mind? You came at me for commenting on larussa, not a poster, and now you're crying? Countless posters have ripped him in this thread and you can't stop coming at me and then cry that I degraded you? Lol unbelievable stuff.

Larussa hasn't defended his own guys ONCE this season against bad umpiring or opposition trash talk, but he's now attacked his own team and player. The guy is just a clown.

Imagine being a cry-poor franchise and spending all your budget on a closer lol

Can't throw it because it hasn't been an effective pitch for him in over a year.

Guy was overused like crazy, relied on one pitch to dominate and that has to be pinpoint every night. Hopefully he gets better but man it's not a good look so far.

What did I want? I wanted to win the game. I have more respect for the openly supportive larussa guys than the closeted stans like you. Hilarious you felt the need to tell me to shut up about larussa as if it was degrading peoples fanhoods. Let Dr Phil know your true feelings, maybe you'll feel better.

Hendriks blows.

The day I start telling you what to say on a forum will be the last day I post on a forum. I can post my thoughts just like you can post your archaic nonsense as freely as you wish. If me calling out larussa bothers you, I've got the number to a good therapist if you need it.

Elite man management I was told!

How is my Fandom ruined, champ? Lol I'm relishing in the fact that Tim told him to fuck off. It literally happened today before the game and was very relevant to this game. I was happy to see my guy ta7 take up for his style of baseball, which is a huge reason I love the team and these guys. What a weird take from you. So defensive.

Is he your daddy?

Huh? I didn't see the quote until recently. Guy is blasting his own player in the media for hitting a homer and our star player is backing the player over the dead beat coach. Thats my point, clown show. Is it OK if I type that thought or does it hurt your feelings? Jaysus

Hmmm who's been more valuable to the team this year, yermin mercedes or the drunk driving expert? Tough call One breaks the law, the other breaks fake unwritten old man rules

This has probably been posted already, but that's my short stop. Fuck you Tony, tim told you this was how HIS team was gonna play baseball. Like it or gtfo the way.
