    Tony La Russa named Manager

    Yes it does. 

    I suggest you look into the story behind Kaepernick's kneeling. He wanted to be respectful and protest systemic injustice simultaneously. 

    That does not mean that having a disagreement makes someone a racist. What a moronic take

    And this one is real.

     

    Lmao at bernstein. Talk about throwing stones in a glass house.  Guy is so much more disgusting than la russa.

    media just love to tear people down to generate clicks. Lets ignore all the black players that thrived under la russa throughout his career as a manager

    So was Cash.

    Not really. All the analytic guys even said before the game, you pull snell before his third time through the lineup. This was a decision made prior to the game, prior to seeing his stuff that day, and prior to seeing how in the zone he was on the mound. A better manager would have called an audible there. A good organization would have allowed the manager to do so and not force decisions based solely on analytics.

    Not just having a different opinion, but he's enforcing his political views on the players he manages, e.g. he had went on record and said he would forbid them from kneeling during the anthem and sending back to the clubhouse. That's far more than just having a different opinion.

    He hasn't enforced anything. Jumping the gun here bud

    Yeah because an 80 year old man telling the 4 most important players on the White Sox to go kneel in the clubhouse will go over just fine. Everyone with political differences will just get along. Wake up. This is the real world not some fake utopia where that would go over well.

    In the real world, people with political differences get along and work with each other day to day just fine.

    It comes across that way to you, because you don’t care about the feelings of the players who do kneel, and you agree with the stance of TLR. Let’s just call it for what it is. 

    Imagine being an adult and thinking that having a different opinion on an issue means that the other person doesn't care or acknowledge your feelings. You sound like a child.

    If the argument is no one has to explain themselves for their thoughts or opinions, why does Hitler matter in this instance? Are we now saying certain opinions should be explained or answered for? Because then you would be agreeing with me...

    I don't think he "has" to say anything to the fans. Who he has to explain his positions to are the owner, GM, and players.

    I highly doubt the organization is going to hire someone they have concerns about working with their players. Just really comes across as a non-issue being pushed by posters on this board that personally take issue with his politics.

    I dont hate conservatives, but I think we could make soxtalk great again by changing your password and not telling you.

    Your posts and analysis of baseball would be a lot better if you actually watched games

    You think TA is going to be cool with his manager telling him he should just head back to the clubhouse if he dares to kneel for the anthem (as he did this season)?  Or am I just someone who "hates conservatives"?

    Man, y'all are such fucking snowflakes.

    moving goalposts. is it MAGA loving people you're concerned about or people against kneeling? 

    These are not the same thing.

    I think you're underestimating the sea change that has occurred not only in baseball, but professional sports in general.  Players don't want to play for people like MAGA-loving, old school, anti-stats people like Tony LaRussa.  This will not only impact the clubhouse but every FA we pursue.  

    This myth that la russa is anti-stats really needs to stop

    as for the rest, just admit youre a liberal and hate conservatives. Most people get along just fine with political differences. Only nutjobs dont

    Yeah the thing I hate about Tony the most is he loves the attention. He baths in it. I just dont want to deal with his pompous face and attitude everyday on TV and in interviews but the impact wont really mean shit. 

    But you dont watch the games so when would you ever see him?

    The fact that analytics have run the game and the Whitesox are playing catch-up in that category as it is....we are moving backwards in time once again....he is in the camp with Ken Harrelson of the TWTW club. The fact that Tony hasn’t managed since 2011, rules have changed, the game has changed. Sitting in as an advisor is one thing being actively engaged in team operations is entirely another. This hiring is the exact opposite of what we were told was going to happen. Maybe im the only one who sees this but I think twitter reaction and others on here would agree with me.

    Lets hire a computer to be our manager, and make similar decisions like the rays did last night pulling snell out when he was cruising and his stuff was electric.

    Ahhh, the age old free speech debate. 

    It’s incredibly simple. Tony La Russa has every right to hold his own beliefs, opinions and and thoughts on any topic he chooses. So do you. So do I. But our choices have consequences. If a potential hire had sentimental thoughts on the H man, would you say the same thing? He wouldn’t have to at least address his stance on what happened in Germany? Would you want that person as the manager on your favorite team? 
     

    “Free Speech” isn’t without consequence. 

    Uhmmm did you really just jump to someone supporting hitler?

    I don't disagree with much of what you've said. The ball is harder, but there are many other contributing factors to that - pitchers are throwing harder, hitters are stronger and are optimizing their power and selling out to hit it harder.

    Also, my question is what should the game do to increase pace and attention to a younger fanbase that is declining? I've been watching baseball my whole life and I no doubt am finding it harder to watch. I think they are trying ideas, if not pitching change limitations and eliminating shifts, what else?

    That's one example and agree it can be over officiated, but the NBA has made a lot of changes that have been viewed positively. What should baseball be doing to make the game more interesting as it evolves?

    I'm a little torn on this. The game is getting boring to watch and they need to figure out ways to keep interest with younger generations. Not just on TV, but in person. 

    I'm surprised too that everyone is saying hitters should adjust. If you limit shifting, can't pitchers adjust to pitch to hitters weaknesses?

    Hitters have been working on their strengths their whole lives, you can't just up and change your approach when pitchers are now throwing harder(and nastier) and specializing more to pitch into the shift. The whole just bunt and hit the other way argument is frankly a weak one and screams "get off my lawn". Pitching/defense is at an advantage in this day.

    I'm by no means against the shift as it's smart baseball, but it is boring. If not ban shifts, what can be done to make the game pace better and become a little more fun to watch? I like defensive play - but I want to see defenders make plays - not line up better for easier plays. Other sports leagues have made elements of defense illegal and made the game more exciting. What can baseball do?

    The nba has gotten incredibly boring with their changes to defense to the point the game is stopped every 20 seconds for a foul shot.
