I had to go back to my email trash can to check for myself.  They indeed sent that pic out in the announcement email.

Probably one where you are staring down a pitcher because you are mad or doing something really just to piss the other team off - nothing jumps off the top of my head, but we've certainly seen it done.  Whether you call that a "celebration" or not, heck if I know.  

Wasn't that like Albert Pujols's thing?

LaRussa vs Kenny-Hahn

Reinsdorf hates Sox fans.

If Kenny-Hahn had any self-respect left, they would tender their resignations.

So everyone crying about Hinch being a cheater.  They just hired the Mgr. Juice .

Mutiny by May.

Yeah...it would sure be nice to have enough self-respect to walk away from one of only 30 dream jobs paying 7 figure salaries in your hometown.  Those bosses can get so bossy every thirty years or so.?

Roache, if you read my stuff about Cash I don't even entirely disagree with pairing analytics with game day observations. My problem with Tony is he basically implied that analytics are for before the game. 

How much can you really apply analytics without using your gut during the game? Most of the good from it happens before the game getting the team in the best position to win. He is really good using his bullpen,hit and running, having guys steal bases, and defensive alignments.

Someone disgruntled within the organization making it known? Lol.  I can't believe that actually happened.

My rule of thumb for managers, leaders, Presidents and Politicians is if I would not trust you to drive me to work for the duration of your contract or time, you likely shouldn't be employed or doing the job.

I wouldn't trust someone like Larussa to drive me to work everyday for the duration of his contract, why the fff should I trust him to run a team.

Glad to see you'll be voting for Kanye.

Fuck this org

Lmao.  Fuck that's funny.  It has to be a photoshop.

Is this for real????

Rick essentially said they quit interviewing candidates once Tony made it know he was interested.  And by that I mean Rick quit interviewing candidates once Jerry told him to hire Tony.

It's real, lol.

Jose Bautista bat flip. Watching your home run for several seconds at home plate. Staring down the pitcher after a homer. 

 

To be fair, I'd have watched that F***er too.

AJ Hinch was a laughing stock in Arizona (and G** awful) and managed a team of cheaters in the worst MLB scandal since the Black Sox.  The amount of love he gets on here is absurd.

Did baseball even shift in 2010? I'm getting so old I can't even remember when shifting went all out.

Maybe the Sox are banking on Manfred bringing the game back to the stone age with all his ignorant rule views and hopes.

I've been a fan for a long time, so I am pretty numb to this. Yes, JR is the CEO and he can run the team as he chooses. I just wish he didn't make this decision.,

That was my thought. I'm sure deep inside Tony didn't care for it.

This we agree on - that was the exact reaction anyone should have after that.

I wrote myself in; no big deal. Similarly to Kanye, I know my calling is to be the leader of the free world.

This thread has been very enjoyable to read. In the last 20 minutes I've been shocked, disgusted, intrigued, depressed, excited, and I've laughed pretty hard. Especially at that email announcement with Hinch's signature. That is some funny shit.

Edited by ScooterMcGee

How has no one asked Hahn if they’ve talked to any of the players 

Good point. TLR hasn't but did our FO? 

What if they had the Hinch auto lined up for a bench coach announcement?  Maybe the person who made it messed up and attached the wrong autograph?
