Yeah I'm ready for a new manager. Did he really call Yermin clueless? 

That's just a dick thing to say

Yes he did.

Just for record keeping

 

 

It’s hard to understate how big of a dic$ this guy is.

Lynn is supposed to be a TLR guy.

He's officially lost the clubhouse.

Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa upset with rookie Yermin Mercedes for not showing 'respect for your opponent' in victory (espn.com)

 

Here is the whole story - where Tony's dumb senile ass explains. 

Fucking clueless old ball sack.

Your players don't agree my man...

There's not a single player defending larussa. Larussa is just out of touch. I'd guess he sits in his office pregame and post, never talks with his guys and just shows up. This situation has shown these guys can not stand his ass. 

Even Ozzie disagrees with La Russa... and that's one of his managing idols.

I dont think the players have seen this story until maybe not - not going to go over well in my opinion.

Was my first reaction.  If Lance won’t even have his back then he’s got no one on the roster right now.  

Where is @tray when you need him most?

I am now 100% convinced TLR is actively trying to get his players to turn on him.

Because this is a problem we have to track now:

• Tim Anderson and Yermin Mercedes pretty much tell TLR off on IG, saying the unwritten rules don't matter (commenting on NBC Sports Chicago's post)
• Lynn says that when a position player is on the mound, there are no rules.
• Evan Marshall's aggressively liking tweets calling out TLR's comments (since deleted).

On top of:

• Caught drunk driving before the season
• Losing multiple games due to him just not being on top of things (Foster, Giolito, etc.)
• Not knowing a rule that the Reds' manager made clear was known to other teams
• The whole "playing time" schtick with Vaughn

 

Lynn basically just said fuck the written rules when a position player is pitching.

When a manager of a baseball is trending on Twitter nearly every week in April/May you know something is wrong.

Fantastic post

 

I'm a Tony lover but admit this whole thing angers me greatly. Tony cost us the game tonight by not backing Yermin. His comments were a disgrace. So the big, bad Twins throw at Yermin and coincidentally that's the point of the game the Sox folded. It sure looks like Minnie bullied the Sox into that win. It fired up Minnesota and Sox, albeit weakened without Jose, folded.

Bad move by Tony in not backing Yermin 100 percent. Tony should have said what Lynn did. People are speaking out against the unwritten rules. Hell, that Tatis commercial we have to watch over and over says to deal with his breaking the unwritten rules.

Tony should apologize or be let go over this. Sad stuff.

Most importantly of all, he's friends with Jerry Reinsdorf. The only way he goes is if he steps down. Such a shame.

You could see this coming a mile away the second he was hired.

I don't know that I've ever been this pissed off at a White Sox manager before

The most shocking thing in all of it....there are fans still defending him.

And yes, a new manager would make mistakes. And yes, this team would still perform well because of the current roster. But the absolute embarrassment that has been the Tony LaRussa experience has been at levels that I really couldn’t comprehend, and a majority of us were terrified of the hire when it happened. 

More fake national writer reports, and own-player comments. Everyone here is clueless, Tony is getting the most out of his guys and they love playing for him!

I’m at a loss for words.  He’s defending the other team throwing at his own player…on purpose.  What bullshit.  There’s not a player on that team that respects him now, there can’t be.

It's somehow been much worse than I expected. This was his first chance to back the style of play he claimed he would when asked about Tim specifically after the hire, and instead of backing it he said his guy deserved to be thrown at. That's amazing
