5/21 Chicago @ New York 6:05
Guys like @Jerksticks and @tray are simply looking for attention at this point. Just leave them alone, the act isn’t as fun when no one pays attention to them.

Evan Marshall in the 9th vs. the Yankees 3-4-5 in a tie game, AFTER an off day...got it.

There just comes a point when you see enough evidence to tell you Nick Madrigal has very poor baseball instincts

And the White Sox should have absolutely moved on from Renteria, I think they 100% made the right call, and deserve credit for making the move despite making the playoffs and his impressive regular season record in 2020. But I, along with many others expected a clear and definitive upgrade. I've yet to see that.- The TLR Manager Thread
The 2021 White Sox are 26-16 with 42 games played. The 2020 White Sox were 27-15 with 42 games played. They reached a record of 33-16 at the 49 game mark as well. Just food for thought.- The TLR Manager Thread
It's been totally ignored by the LaRussa stans because they don't have an answer for it, instead it's all about Yermin "missing" a sign.- The TLR Manager Thread
Well said, Steve.- The TLR Manager Thread
At the end of the day @tray is upset the designated hitter of the White Sox hit a home run when he wasn’t supposed to, according to white men who made up laughable rules that will never appear in a official rule book because of how asinine they are. I take comfort in knowing someone like tray is in the vast, vast minority in feeling that way, and that the sport of baseball is moving away from the embarrassing antics of Tony LaRussa. I, along with many others will be able to enjoy the game of baseball as it continues to advance and change as the culture does, while tray will be slinging venom towards a player that has already done tremendous things for a team he supposedly roots for. Just a sad way to live.- The TLR Manager Thread

I'm biased because I live in the Chicago media market, but I feel like this reached a much bigger scale than the Tatis stuff.- The TLR Manager Thread
I want to add another piece to this puzzle now that it's been 2-3 days. I really....REALLY hope this was a productive ordeal. Not for the White Sox. But for baseball. Like it or not, this was a national talking point since it happened, and not just in baseball. On every sports show. It led to a ton of conversation about the "unwritten rules" and the rest of the garbage that comes with it. I don't believe LaRussa will change. But I hope others can and will. I hope MLB takes notice of this, and continues to push players to show personality and continue to entertain fans (Yes, I'd rather see a 3-0 HR by Yermin in the 9th then him keep his bat on his shoulder because "OLD SCHOOL BASEBALL"). I'm not holding my breath, but I think the conversation around this topic has been good and I'm hopeful it leads to change.- The TLR Manager Thread
Worshiping a mid-70's leader with a shady past who was suddenly given an incredible amount of power out of the blue........WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS BEFORE?!?!?!- The TLR Manager Thread
Unfortunately I don't always follow my own sage wisdom. I should know better, but there are just too many people that really need an education.- The TLR Manager Thread
Because you don’t understand it. That’s not what he was upset about. He was asked if an actual pitcher was on the mound instead of a position player in that scenario, what he would like to see happen. Tony said “Ideally I’d send 3 pitchers to the plate, tap the ball back to the mound and be done with the inning.” So you are the one lacking an understanding of what we are talking about. And the cherry on top....even if he is only upset about Yermin swinging on 3-0...HE’S STILL wrong. There is zero difference between 3-0 and 3-1 besides some old assholes that are still living in 1954. None. Here is the good news is all of this. Tony and the rest of the Dinosaur Crew will be out of baseball soon, and the Tim Anderson, Yermin Mercedes of the world are the future. That’s a future I want for baseball. So get used it- The TLR Manager Thread
Make Baseball Great Again #MBGA- The TLR Manager Thread
I don’t want to hear about unwritten rules anymore. They are unwritten because if you actually made them rules, everyone would laugh at them. We agree to disagree. There is a fact that I can’t get past, and I don’t see how anyone else can. Tony LaRussa was upset that his DESIGNATED HITTER hit a home run because it would be upsetting to the opposition. I don’t need to have any further discussion about it. It ends there.- The TLR Manager Thread
Do you know why he should be absolutely be swinging there? Because he's paid to do what he did. It was the best possible outcome. Again, for the 100th time, you're upset Mercedes hit a home run for the White Sox. Think about that for a second. Take it in.- The TLR Manager Thread
Then you better stop rooting for the White Sox, as they are giving out these bobble heads on May 28th Move along, grandpa.- The TLR Manager Thread
Of course that's the case. The issue is there are some here that say "Who cares about Tony, this team is in first place and playing great!" So were the 2020 White Sox managed by Rick Renteria. We saw what happened at the end of the season when the games mattered most. We don't want it to happen again, and we're seeing a lot of warning signs early in the season. - The TLR Manager Thread
