The TLR Manager Thread
TLR being the "bad cop" in the clubhouse, on a team with this much talent, is sorta perfect. Takes all the pressure off the players and unites them. I don't agree with what TLR said about Yermin but I don't think it hurts the club. In fact, it helps them. Similar to Ozzie's rants. This is quite the season we've got going on the South Side. I think I'm just going to enjoy the ride and not try and micro analyze much anymore. Just win baby. @DirtySox -- totally. I'm not saying TLR did it on purpose, but he certainly united the club and Giolito his ace went out and performed for him today through the "turmoil". lol, this is a meme:

Sounds like a bumble profile.

I got busy with work after falling asleep at like 6pm last night watching the game. Woke up to see them blow it wasn't able to watch today. Glad they won. Getting old has some good parts, but the tiredness when you drink on consecutive weekdays ain't one of them. Few things stand out in those photos: 1) Dylan Cease looks all of 16. 2) Madrigal is a small guy but jesus he has massive hands. If he puts on some upper body strength maybe he can start flipping some more doubles into the gaps. 3) Jesus Collins' forearms are massive. Hopefully he gets some more run one way or another and isn't just trade bait. I think he could be a pretty useful player, especially if Grandal gets hurt, as will def happen at some point in the next two years. GO SOX! Glad they fight through adversity. The TLR / Yermin thing was a topic on sports radio out here for a full session this afternoon. Wild. Not only do they rarely talk baseball (Seahawks all the time, every season) but to talk Sox baseball was just...a mind trip.

Sano is an example of what happens when a manager has lost his team. The play from Simmons last night in the late innings as well.

Here's the known white devil Adam Eaton, we'll see if he can avoid plunking his team mate the brown guy with a line drive.

5/18 White Sox @ Twins 6:40 PM
Yermin clearly did that line drive oppo because he wanted to show TLR he's mentally tough. 4D chess.

Great AB Yoan, he is a machine.

5/18 White Sox @ Twins 6:40 PM
Surprised Lamb was able to find the motivation to step up to the plate given the malaise he must be feeling about his manager.

Clearly the team is winning despite the guy making the lineup card!

pro sports is quite the snow globe. and I think the people inside enjoy being shook up once and awhile and having the interested onlookers on the outside gawking.

Yermin has a history of discipline issues that certainly pre-date his time in Chicago or TLR. In fact TLR let him off pretty easily when he showed up late for a game earlier this year.
