Hamilton and Garcia vs a 300 pound pitcher, and no one has tried to bunt and make him field.

And the award for the most predictable thread goes to...

Apparently this game thread has turned into a Lamb roast. I will see myself out.

Wait until you get to 12 and 13

Even better... Also while claiming everyone is unqualified to judge Tony, then of course judges his job performance in multiple other posts.

Yet...

You get a bill for every name drop that Soxtalk has had to pay royalties on.

Mendick is in the same boat as Leury Garcia. They are best when being plugged into solid situations a few times a week to give guys breaks. He's someone who won't hurt you, and will occasionally will help you. He is going to be a guy who plays a decade of MLB catching on as a primary defender off of team's benches. Think of what Gordon Beckham turned into.

Next year will be the 20th anniversary of Soxtalk.

94% efficacy is still 6% not. Honesty the fact that he doesn't have symptoms is a sign that he could have had the vaccine.

Well we just found Tony's bender burner account...

This year is going to be so big for the farm system to see if we can get some break out candidates to start to fill in for the graduated prospects. We have some potential guys who could blow up in the system, they just need to play some real games to see if it happens. This a great list, and still has some lower level candidates who aren't quite ready yet like Vera, Tatis, and a few others.

I don't believe major leaguers get paid either. https://www.businessinsider.com/uniform-major-league-baseball-contract-2011-4

Its a market that even divided into 4 pieces is still way bigger than most single team markets. It would also serve to bring the Yankees and Mets revenue streams down towards the level of the other markets.

My guess? I don't think minor leaguers get paid for spring training so he wasn't "working".

It's crazy, but put another team or two in NYC. Divide up that market so that it hurts the Yankees and Mets.

Visa problems are not unusual even during good times, let alone during the pandemic. We had a decent amount of players also get caught up in this with spring training as well.

He was reported to be having visa issues a little while back. He is supposed to go to Bham when he gets those cleared up.

I think that depends on how long it takes for Eloy and Robert to come back, along with how well Cespedes hits in AA.

Leury is fine when he is left to the supersub role. Pushing him into the starting line up every day is the problem. The problem is that we don't really have anyone better to start on a daily basis in CF right now.

There is no doubt that Tony isn't the only bad in game manager around, but he is the only one recently who has been caught actively not understanding the rules of the game that he is supposed to be ultimate on-field authority for.

Since you want to yell... THIS IS LITERALLY NOT THE POINT, AND IT 100% DOES NOT MATTER. No one on this board is qualified to manage a major league baseball team. which has absolutely zero to the fact that neither is Tony LaRussa. Even if he was qualified, it still has nothing to do with anything, and is a worthless point. The only demeaning going on is people trying to associate laymen with actual baseball dugout staff. Also, if you were smart enough to realize it, you are admitting in your own post, by your own standards, that you aren't smart enough to comment about how good of a job that TLR is doing either, but has that stopped you from doing it? Nope.
