Look at Ray Ray Run

I don't get why they'd be screwing it up. Hinch really is overrated here.

I wrote myself in; no big deal. Similarly to Kanye, I know my calling is to be the leader of the free world.

Did baseball even shift in 2010? I'm getting so old I can't even remember when shifting went all out. Maybe the Sox are banking on Manfred bringing the game back to the stone age with all his ignorant rule views and hopes.

Roache, if you read my stuff about Cash I don't even entirely disagree with pairing analytics with game day observations. My problem with Tony is he basically implied that analytics are for before the game.

"No one has done more for black players, besides maybe Abe Lincoln and Jackie Robinson, than me"

Yeah, I don't think so either. Jerry had all the leverage; "We let you rebuild Rick, now it's my turn!"

"Observational Analytics" Someone please blow my head off. Guy pushing back against in-game analytics already.

I don't think Rick would have a hard time getting a job within about 2 minutes of quitting.

This has proven to be nothing and not true, so if this was him being innovative that's not a great piece of evidence.

Jimmy, Listening to this interview with Hahn and your reporting feels spot on. Good calls all around. Rick very clearly detailing that Jerry did this over his head.

So why can't a 34 year old be POTUS but an 87 year old can be? Do you think an 87 year old is sharper cognitively than a 34 year old? Again, I'm asking you because it's absurd. Older people rule positions of power, and many 20-35 somethings can't move up in their careers despite doing the job of those "Executives." So again, I didn't see anyone saying to not be disrespectful when they said Jirschele was too young.

Again for everyone yelling that ageism is out of control here. Why can't 22 year olds get interviews? Isn't that ageism? I don't understand. What is the age cut off? Hilarious that people like Larussa continue to get chances as a retread hire while a bunch of younger unknowns never get a shot but people have the nerve to argue that citing TOny's age is disrespectful and discriminatory.

Like what?

Question, why does ageism only apply to old people? Why say can the Sox not hire a 16 year old manager? You would consider that absurd, right? Why? Because their brains aren't fully developed... As you age, cognitive decline happens. It's simply a fact. I find the ageism thing hilarious; old people run the world - politics and other positions of power. Meanwhile, young people never get opportunities of power. Are you going to tell me that's not ageism either?

Frank Thomas brought up steroids as a problem during the 1993 CBA.

It's not weird at all. I don't have a lot of 75 year olds looking to join my analytics department; I think I'll be OK.

My rule of thumb for managers, leaders, Presidents and Politicians is if I would not trust you to drive me to work for the duration of your contract or time, you likely shouldn't be employed or doing the job. I wouldn't trust someone like Larussa to drive me to work everyday for the duration of his contract, why the fff should I trust him to run a team.

TLDR = Tony Larrussa (hired) Don't Resuscitate

Oh, I'm not dumb enough to sit through five years of misery only to stop watching now. I just won't support them with my own cash.

I'm done supporting Jerry's BS. I'll watch on TV, and go to whatever free games I have via friends and family. Only place a fan can show displeasure is by hitting the teams pocket books.

Call your ticket rep and let them know you will be cancelling and not renewing your season tickets. I did.

1/as @ZackMeisel 1st reported the #Indians placed Brad Hand on outright waivers to see if a team claims him and they do not have to pay even his $1M buyout on his $10M 2021 option. I think this illustrates the offseason ahead. This morning an agent (not Hand's) predicted Hand There's such a huge opportunity this off-season to take advantage of the times. Please please White Sox... don't cry poor.

People who worked with Bochy closely when he was with the Giants.

The only thing I heard was regarding Bochy; I know nothing about any other candidates or people and I have no connections with the White Sox. Just relaying that info.

The Lance Briggs thing makes zero sense. Which means, with the White Sox, it probably makes all the sense in the world.
