JR won't sell because he's a big baseball fan and loved owning a team.

They didn't have to. Gio answered questions he was asked. I don't think TLR should take the blame for Gio performance.

I don't have a problem with him going as ultimately he is the manager and responsible for the team performance. However with the poor hitting and injuries, I can't see anyone really doing much better. Managers just really don't matter that much in baseball and I'll stick with it.

This is why he has caught less than half the games this year.

My apologies. Sarcasm meter is off today.

So now they need to rest players more even if the bat is hot? Seems contradictory to most posts stating they need to have the hot bats stay in the lineup. I been stating all year that rarely do catchers play in day games following night games and have been ridiculed for it.

Just as he was starting to hit. May get to see Perez.

Catching is hard on the legs. Always stiff and sore.

So now your are advocating more days off for a player? ? Just kidding. Yes he even admits his legs are there yet and it's obvious. For all those screaming about TLR playing Reese to much now you know why.

Oops. Fat fingers.

True but he has a long way to good. He's also not as entertaining. Bevington was a show.

Or pulling a pitcher with no one warming up.

That's fine. You are allowed your opinion.

Someone trying to help him with a rule he didn't know is him treating people poorly? Obviously he isn't a Saint nit who is? People on this order have been worse. At least you can list his incidences. For AJ it wouldn't be possible. The nicest thing people said about AJ was that he may ne an a$$ nit he's ours a$$ Recency bias. Everyone forgets what AJ was like but sees TLR today.

Go back over time and look at their careers. TLR was a very successful manager. You can't do that without getting along with others.

Among other things that weren't made public. I really wouldn't say I have it in for him as much I just can't see it happening. Maybe he's grown up since leaving the game and will prove me wrong.

I said people, not everyone.

But neither could get along with anyone.

At least LaRussa can get along with people. AJ would have a revolt in a week.

No one would tolerate AJ as a manager.

I do go to those as well. Still not the same experience as MLB. Maybe it because I worked in the league.

I wouldn't call them veterans. Many are young. Guys like Vaughn and Robert barely have a full season. Either preference but still baseball.

I still enjoy going to the Sox games. Who knows about those 2. The performance have absolutely tanked. There us obviously something wrong. Players just don't crash like that. My votes are 1. Leg injuries. 2. Long COVID 3. PED crash. Not necessarily in that order for each of them.

Agreed. I go to games because I enjoy baseball. Win or lose. Too many people only care about winning. Of course winning is better. But baseball is baseball.

We've had Bears tickets since the 60s. I still go to the game but you're right I sell most of the ones in December and January now.
