We heard the full story like 5 years later that yeah he was actually playing with a fractured bone in his foot and that was the reason for the slump.

Oh I would have actually given him credit if any version of the stats supported him. I’m somewhat entertaining myself for checking If there’s any version of this that works. If I go to After a 1-2 count, Turner has 935 career PAs, a .226 average and a .618 OPS. Hes just bravely bullshitting/gaslighting.

Lead off hitter must be short.

This one is also excellent. Fully spontaneous reaction from Freeman.

Go to a minor league game.

Serious question - does anyone here actually think that was a good move or buy his explanation?

Wasn't there a quote right when he was hired about how he thinks todays players have a lot to learn? I wonder how Max Muncy feels about that today.

There were 2 questions FWIW, someone brought it up a second time.

He wouldn't accept a follow up along those lines.

Because the base wasn't open. He was asked that.

He insists it was an easy call, brings up unnamed statistics (that we've verified he's wrong about), and is legitimately angrily dumbfounded that he is getting questioned on this.

"Does anyone in this room really think that with the count they should have hit to Turner. I mean there's no chance." - Close to that when someone asked about it a second time.

So apparently Tony doesn't know what he angrily asked if the reporters know.

I love this 12 year old caller they just had on the radio saying water is too expensive at the park and Tony should be fired.

Look how hard they fought for him today! Extend his contract.

Paul Konerko broke his foot down the stretch in 2002 and played through it and it continued affecting him throughout the first half of 2003. https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/White-Sox-s-Paul-Konerko-Leaves-Game-10489090.php

Nope. He’s on paternity leave.

The manager treats him like he’s Chris Taylor or Kike Hernandez

Andrew McCutcheon is always my reference point for a “Wtf” falloff.

Vaughn is penciled in at 1b tomorrow per Kasper

For every pop up they owe Tony 30 push-ups

His current exit velocity is actually lower than it was in 2020.

The Dodgers might be a little more familiar with Cueto than the AL teams.

Well today was not one of those days where Leury overproduced early after people complained
