It was OK that Tony was upset he ignored the take sign and it would have been ok to bench him a game for that too, yermin should not have ignored the sign. 

 

But it was not good that Tony made that public. 30 years it was normal that coaches roasted players publicly but modern coaches keep that stuff behind closed doors and resolve those issues privately. 

Tony should have just said "I didn't like it, everything else we will discuss internally" .

 

First off I want to thank this franchise's savior, the all-mighty Tony LaRussa who managed this team so hard, including giving Giolito the get lots of strikeouts signs, as well allowing Liam Hendriks to throw his best slider, even thought it might upset the Twins players.  It is a gutsy move, but also allowable in the unwritten rules, as Hendriks was throwing his authentic slider and not his other one.  Obviously Tony will have to punish the offense, including Mercedes for missing the drive in runs signs multiple times today, but that will be taken care of not in the locker room, but in his office.

Amen.

Thats basically how I feel.  I wish everyone would move on now.  This is just embarrassing for 1st place team to be having a sideshow like this.

Somebody yesterday wished that LaRussa choked on something and subsequently never managed again. How is that not wishing harm on a Sox employee?

And yes, I reported it. 

You are by far the most special snowflake on this board.

congrats on that.

I'm writing a letter to Jose Abreu about how you are such a meany face  about him - ill make sure to CC your mom and boss as well.

Yeah I agree. It’s a day old and in the past now. Nothing that we can do about it anymore. Time to move on and celebrate that we have a 1st place team!!!

I read on another site the mlbtv people were indicating that Yermin acknowleged that he did see the take sign.

yeah no way... we would have seen that posted 10000 places.

Watch the video - no one is looking for signs. not up 16-4

That was all a bullshit story.

Lets check.

It won them the game.

It was still the wrong call. 

It's the same line of thinking saying "LaRussa isn't an issue, this team is winning!" 

Bunting in the 5th inning is wrong. It was wrong today, it will be wrong tomorrow.

They wouldn't have got the run in without that bunt, especially with the way that the rest of the team was hitting today.  No run there means extra inning game for the Sox at best.  It was absolutely the right call.

reporting someone for something is your own choice.

 

But posting about it in public... yeah you are just a troll and only an average one.

 

but i'll play.

I don't even know what you're talking about, and have no idea why you're badgering me.  But half your posts have nothing to do with the Sox or games and are just pointless BS about other posters.  You've earned a spot in my exclusive blocked list and I certainly won't miss reading your pointless BS daily.  Congrats. 

Adios, amigo.

Yeah, my list is small but I think I need to be more heavy-handed moving forward.  So many good posters here, but plenty of trash to weed out.

To the FBI, or Steve Stone’s Twitter feed?

lol.. its clear where the players stand on this

This whole thing is just TLR trying to cover for the fact that he really came out of the dugout to yell at Yermin because the crack of the bat woke him from his nap.

You don’t even have to read between the lines to see that the players tuned Tony out.

He was already on the list after his out of gas game

 

 

Even the coaches joined in on the fun, except the fun police himself of course ?
