Tbh, I'm more worried about how deep into games TLR has the pitchers going, especially after a shortened season. No need to ride the starters 110+ pitches.

LOL! This idea cracks me up. It sounds like such a White Sox/Jerry Reinsdorf-type scenario. ________________________________________ Amid a season plagued by controversy and injuries, Tony La Russa has announced that he will be stepping down from his position as manager of the White Sox. In what is speculated to be an effort to limit the team's payroll, White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf stated that the team will not be adding a new manager for the remainder of the year. Instead, previous manager Rick Renteria will be returning as the active manager. "There's a provision in Ricky's contract stating that if he is under salary for the managerial position, and the position is vacant, he must report as the active manager if requested by the team. If he declines, his salary will be forfeited," Reinsdorf explained. "It's a very common provision in the team's contracts." According to the White Sox, Renteria has 5 days to report to the team, or else his salary will be forfeited. Renteria has not yet released a statement regarding the situation.

Man, I wish it was allowed for recovering from serious injuries. Oh well

Does HGH help with muscle tears?

They included it in the international slot money trade with the Rangers

Jack already said they should sell Rodon and Lynn

Thank you ptatc! It's truly a gift having somebody with your expertise on this forum. Much appreciated.

By "passive stretching" do you mean when you hold a stretch for 30 seconds for example? I believe what I am doing in the limber 11 routine (posted above) is mostly "dynamic stretches", if I'm not mistaken.

It was actually just one stretch that he recommended, the lunge stretch. Seems to do the job by itself. If you do it correctly you definitely feel it in the hip flexors. I've been doing the whole routine below (minus using the foam roller on my IT band and adductors). this isn't what ptatc recommended FYI, I found it on my own. Might be overkill, but I feel like it has helped with my lower back. I'm not PT though. Just a filthy pleb, so what do I know. https://www.defrancostraining.com/joe-ds-qlimber-11q-flexibility-routine/

Ptatc just recently sent me some stretches/advice for loosening up the hip flexors... Not that I expect to strain it from lifting, but this reminds me that I need to be more consistent with those stretches. I never really stretched my hip flexors correctly before, but golly are they tight. Definitely getting better.

Weren't most people upset or at least indifferent regarding the Eaton signing? He's been pretty underwhelming so far. Don't think there would be much crow to be eaten there.

There's nothing I like more than bumping up an old thread to roast people in hindsight... I'll keep this thread on my radar for sure.

Why not just fine him? Instead he punishes the whole team by playing a massively inferior player? Having Yermin up with the bases loaded today could have completely changed the game. He hit the 485 foot homer off that exact pitcher FYI... Give me a break man.

@greg775 has us slated for 2-3 championships, guaranteed. I'm still feeling good about it.

Do you have the chops to be manager? I know you're more of a GM type of guy, but the Sox are in dire need of a real manager.

The funny thing with the whole "keeping starters fresh" narrative is that he hasn't give old man Abreu one day off, and Jose has been struggling mightily. He's just sitting rookies because they are rookies, in favor of shitty bench players he adores.

Tony said that wasn't why Mercedes was benched. He wasn't mad at Mercedes for being late. Tony said it was just a tough decision between using him or Lamb at DH. Lamb got the edge. It was an asinine choice, simple as that.

Justified

:notworthy: ptatc

Giolito has been disappointing this year, to say the least

I think Yermin at catcher would be more detrimental than Yermin at 1B.

I forgot Yermin hit his 485 foot homerun off Plesac last time - lol

They just showed the clip of Tony explaining this the pregame show. Tony's explanation was a babbling mess that didn't make much sense. Ozzie ripping on him for his poor explanation. Asking for a translator for TLR so he could understand what TLR is saying, lol.

Tbh, Yermin should start over Jose at least once during that series at 1B. Hopefully he's been working on his defense there. Jose has been bad and still hasn't gotten a day off. We need Yermin's bat.
