June 5, 20214 yr 14 outs given away and that’s not including the failed attempts. I don’t know why the TLR thread was closed, but can we discuss here how stupid it is to sac bunt in the 6th inning against a pitcher who couldn’t get anyone out?

Guess Holland was marginally better when he pitched for the White Sox, but TLR must have been confused with the multiple World Series version of the guy in his prime with the Rangers to take that particular approach....

June 5, 20214 yr At the least, this one offsets the right game against the Twins where the bunt worked.
June 5, 20214 yr I recall in Ozzie's last season as Sox manager that he had fallen in love with "small ball." He had hitters bunting in the worst spots, destroying potential rallies. The bunt is a good play, but it is just like any other piece of strategy. It has to be timed right. By the way, Ozzie wanting an extension at the end of the 2011 was laughable. I was glad to see him take himself and his small ball out of town.

Ozzie was a good manager before he got arrogant and decided he needed to insert himself into games frequently.
June 5, 20214 yr That was just a bad time for a bunt today, period. If you will not adjust your strategy based on who is pitching, I just don't know what to say. And the fact that he seemed to not like being questioned about it after the game just pisses me off. Can we reopen the TLR thread? And I don't mean the kiss ass one about his # of wins.

Tony La Russa believes the same thing on Thursday that he did on Tuesday, regardless of what happens on Wednesday.

June 6, 20214 yr Larussa really is a moron. There's just no other way of saying it. He's stuck in the past and defies all statistical evidence that refutes his archaic ways.

Giving away an out against Derek Holland is much worse than not knowing a rule. He decreased the sox chance of winning today by nearly 12%. That's just fucking comical. He was talking about tying the game as if that was the goal. Guy is such a jack Wagon.

Not changing your strategy based on who was pitching was a joke and his attitude at the press conference was worse. I thought I was done being annoyed wirh him...I had been avoiding that TLR thread...then he does something else and sucks me right back in.
June 6, 20214 yr How dare you guys question the mind of a Hall of Fame Person!!!!! Don’t you know he’s tied for second for most wins ever by a manager, just as equally amazingly he is in second for most losses also!
June 6, 20214 yr Imagine supporting this clown. The White Sox bunt more than most teams in the NL, who have a guaranteed out in their lineup most days. It's indefensible.
