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.

It's pathetic. Guys like Phil Rogers and Bob Nightengale are just so bad. It almost feels like Phil has gone the way of the troll. He suggested drafting another QB after the Justin Fields pick. Also, this.

Phil Rogers going after James. Has Phil Rogers always been a complete hack?

TLR is making up some sort of illness or injury for Yermin so he can play Jake Lamb

Yermin is indestructible you dope

I'm sure the TLR apologists will find a good reason for sitting the best offensive player in the league for Lamb

TLR: Psych! No Mercedes for you! This fucking guy, lol

Tony La Russa's baseball IQ is so ridiculously high, most of us simply can't understand the moves he is making. He is truly a baseball savant. 300 IQ.

Does your opinion on booing players stand for the manager as well - or do you support my decision to boo TLR today?

Yes

When is a pitcher going to admit he is gassed though? Hell, it's hard for these guys to admit when their elbows hurt while pitching.

Even if Katz told TLR to pull Giolito, he wouldn't confess to it in the post game. Katz isn't going to big time his manager like that...
