It's almost like they are distracted by something else going on...

He isn't going anywhere until at least one of Eloy or Robert gets back, along with a healthy and decent Engel.

The Sox lead MLB in most pitches seen in the first inning of a game at 18.5

To be fair, I got his autograph when I was like 10 at a game in Arlington Texas. He was actually a super nice guy when he gave it to me. I guess I balance this out.

Tony actually said he missed the sign, so this isn't true.

So if it is all about old school baseball, why didn't Tony have Josh Donaldson hit after he pimped a homer with this team down 2 touchdowns? If it is about old school baseball how come he didn't answer the throw at Mercedes with one of his own? If it is about old school baseball, why did Tony talk to the media about what happened in the Sox locker room instead of keeping it between them? Answer: Because Tony LaRussa is full of shit.

I am glad you think that is funny @tray, but it is the truth.

It was a 93 mph fastball behind him. It wasn't soft or slow. It was incredibly obvious that he was throwing at Mercedes. If I was the Sox manager I am over the dugout railing in about half a second raising hell for throwing at my player. If I was the Twins manager I am not giving the Sox an extra base runner in a two run game in the 7th inning by hitting a batter. If a game is still going on, I expect my players to be playing the game. If we are talking about T-ball? Sure take pity on the other team. But this major league baseball. Yermin Mercedes could be out of the game next year, and no one is going to pay the mans bills or take care of his family, least of which are TLR. Let the man play and put up his stats.

We need a dugout filled with these.

I will allow it.

Basically as an organization we spent decades driving around a 15 year old GM sedan. We decided to finally invest in a Porsche after saving up for years to do it. Then we handed the keys to a guy who doesn't know how to drive a stick and we are hoping doesn't destroy the transmission before he figures out how to drive it.

It means while he has the right to silence, he does not possess the ability to stay silent.

Because the one person who has authority over Tony isn't saying anything.

I find it amazing that he knows the unwritten rules better than the written rules of the game.

Actually it is Tony that is creating the reasons for people to b****. Even if you think the fans are stupid for it, the players are also backing up Yermin on this. The bitching about people bitching about LaRussa is WAY more trite. I also find it hilarious that every time something happens, the wins belong to Tony, and the rest of the problems are the fans fault, or the players fault. I don't get the few who hero worship this dude when it is obvious that his best years at this job have passed him by. Its players, its national media, its ex-players, etc. Trevor Bauer, Alex Wood, Ozzie Guillen, Frank Thomas, Steve Stone, along with Tim Anderson, Evan Marshall, and Lance Lynn are all on board here.

Yes, you made an absurd conclusion and won't admit it. Yes by only targeting others, you take the cowardly way out, and never have to admit you are wrong. Thanks for finally admitting to this being nothing but a troll job. That concludes this thread.

Last I remember, the Sox are tied to 35th and Shields through 2033.

This team's longest losing streak has been 2 games, twice. If they get going on a normal losing streak, it will be interesting to see how it goes.

Your answer is there if you want it. If his assumption was bad, so was yours, for the exact same reason. No matter how you try to change around the argument and the goalposts, this doesn't change. Your need for validation is the real issue here, as is your need to target anyone who disagrees with you. But, again, this is exactly why you were banned in the past.

And you still can't admit you were wrong and attacking people to cover up for it.

And they STILL threw at him. And it worked.

Marshall.

I left Yermin out on purpose as the target of this.
