I’m on the side of giving him a shot and optimistic about good players getting better with any new manager. I wouldn’t have considered La Russa, but it happened, and I’m not turning in my fan card over it. I hope he succeeds and the players have good relationships with him.

I thought the Benetti interview with Tony was pretty good. It’s on the Sox YouTube page. 20 min.

I would think they have nothing to say since they’ve probably never met him and they were in middle school the last time he managed a game. Hopefully Tony starts making phone calls soon and texts with everyone over the winter to start building a relationship before they get to Arizona.

I love the autocorrect of Russa to Russia. Good stuff. The Hall is awesome, but they also need to get the sticks out of their asses. Who cares if a manager already in manages again?

I’m just wishing for the best, so I’ll say three.

Hopefully that rule gets overturned. Heard Verducci talking about it- said it did nothing for shortening games and 30 out of 30 managers hate it.

That’s about it. It’s not the way 99% of fans would go, but it absolutely has a chance to be a success, and the concerns we have about him today may fade fast next year. We shall see. It’s going to be a fun team regardless because we have some good players to watch, and more are on the way.

Willson Contreras, very sincere

Hope he’s on the phone all weekend talking to players.

Merkin, do something about that angle, bro.

He’s always been a little slurry.

Hahn is depressed and mad. 100%

Hahn looks like he hasn’t been sleeping much.

To use a Rick Hahn word... “Ultimately”, this team may still win 90-95 games a year, Tony does a decent job, and we see a championship sometime in the next few years. It’s just a bizarre hiring today.

Probably. The Renteria call was.

I’ll have what he’s having.

Hawk as hitting coach. Hittin’ fungoes.

Reinsdorf needs to speak on this too, in my opinion.

Nah it’s 2021, almost. This is weird no matter the team.

It’s just so weird!! Reinsdorf has said he’s a caretaker of the franchise. This is not good caretaking. It may work in the long run. But probably not and it has the potential to be a huge dumpster fire. We’ll see.

It would be the most illogical hiring ever. The Sox may end up winning with or without him, but hiring La Russa for 2021 is the weirdest managerial hiring ever. It’s just so weird.

Well, if they do it, a Friday night news dump, followed by a Monday call before Election Day isn’t a bad time to avoid some bad press. But please don’t hire La Russa!

It was 10 years ago. If it was now, well you know...
