wait...did we hire TLR to be the GM? I must have missed that.

Lol...def walked into that one. Guess I'll clarify more on Spain. She is first off a pretty disgusting person and massive hypocrite. Haven't been able to stand her since her petty mocking of Paige Sprianac was exposed, claiming that Paige's success was solely due to her looks (ironic given how many say Sarah's came from her boobs), not to mention her victim blaming of Jenn Sterger for getting sexually harrassed. Then she pushes the whole "Me Too" movement probably more than any other ESPN personality, without seeming to understand the blatant hypocrisy. Listening to her a lot on Le Betard's radio show was awful. She takes herself so seriously, and immediately get's defensive when challenged. She's just never been a good fit on any of their programs because she thinks she's above everyone and is incapable of laughing at herself. Further, her mental gymnastics on certain issues are just exhausting. She initially came to addison russell's defense, but then immediately blasts Mayweather for physical abuse. She has time and time again exposed herself for having no consistent position on issues, unless she is being challenged - then the attacker is a bad sexist woman hater for not agreeing with her. Sarah's problem is that she is not a sports journalist. She is a social justice preacher, who believes she is above what she preaches, and uses the platform given to her by ESPN to try and lecture others.

Fact of the matter is that the guys on our team, while young and exciting, haven't accomplished a damn thing at a team level. TLR has. Everywhere he's been. Working with players of different backgrounds. Managing guys who flat out hated him (Rolen), those that didn't like him but respected him (Henderson), and guys that loved him (McGwire, Pujols) The issue of the players on the team being uncertain about this hire really speaks to the inexperience most of them have. They are not winners...yet. When they tasted success this year, they let up off the gas and wilted. The last thing this team needs right now is a "player's manager". They need someone to show them how to play the game hard all the time, to not make mental mistakes, and how to not let up. They need a manager who demands their best, not asks or hopes for it. They have a lot to learn from a guy like TLR. Certainly a hell of a lot more than TLR has to learn from them.

TLR = Rickey in your mind?

“I dont agree with him, so therefore hes a clown”. such a pathetic argument

Leury/engle platoon for right field. Spend the money on pitching

Seriously. What a moron. Really shows how unsophisticated he is. And posters on here wanted him to manage the WSox. Lmao!

Hinch is a scrub. TLR won 3 WS while supposedly cheating and never got caught. Hinch wins 1 and immediately gets caught for cheating. I dont want someone who sucks at cheating managing this team. We should only want the best cheaters

If true makes me like him even more. Rules in baseball are meant to be bent, and broken if not caught.

If you aint cheating, you aint trying. TLR is a visionary. Responsible for steroids, sign stealing, analytics...what part of todays game did he not have a hand in?

TLR was responsible for steroids?

Took over two small market teams during rebuilds and both teams improved dramatically during his tenure. hed kill it here with our talent

He’ll be back

White sox have a dumb fan base. Upset about hiring a top 5 manager of all time. Just lmao!!!

Clint hirdle is a damn good manager. Helped get small market teams without much talent to play way above their on paper talent

They went with the better choice. in what world is bruce bochy considered to be a better manager than TLR???

There are very few analytics adherents preaching two seamers. glasnows issues also werent his pitch makeup but his lack of control, something he still struggles with

I bet im younger than you

Hurdles an old school guy. He knows how to incorporate analytics, but he doesnt follow them blindly like so many new breed managers do. Hes a lot like TLR in that way.

All on board for conte. Need to know more about joe’s views on the hit and run before i form an opinion on him.

This team needs an old school manager, not some panty waist nerd that blindly listens to computers.

Just hope he brings his roids guy onto the strength and conditioning staff

Well as no polls on the subject were done, possibly youre correct. But there were certainly more posts calling for him to go than those defending him or appreciating his efforts.

My order was: 1) Ozzie 2) TLR 3) mike scioscia 4) buck showalter 5) clint hurdle

A month ago the majority of posters on here wanted hahn gone. Now the consensus is worry hes going to leave. this board has so many bipolar posters
