April 24, 20224 yr Instead of putting this team in a position to succeed, he's doing the exact opposite. And we will have to deal with it because theres no change coming
April 24, 20224 yr Cannon fodder. It's going to be brutal when he starts getting booed at home games and becomes increasingly defensive and irritable with the media. We already had done Cooper to play that curmudgeonly figure.

We already had done Cooper to play that curmudgeonly figure. I hope that happens because he’s not the right manager for this team. Bring back Ozzie or someone younger with more energy.

Is LaRussa more powerful than Putin or Kim Jong Il that everyone is afraid to give him honest advice without having their heads chopped off? Edited April 24, 20224 yr by caulfield12

April 24, 20224 yr 9 minutes ago, harkness99 said: is there any chance we fire this guy? Nope. And when he get tired of managing, he’ll be moved into Kenny William’s position in the front office and will still have power over the Hahn and the team. He will keep that position until he or JR dies.
April 24, 20224 yr 9 minutes ago, harkness99 said: is there any chance we fire this guy? Not with Reinsdorf as the owner. He says his worst mistake was letting Hawk fire TLR. I vehemently disagree. His biggest baseball mistake was turning down Mayor Washington's offer to anchor the up and coming South Loop. His second biggest baseball mistake was overruling his own management team with a sentimental and foolish managerial hire. He"s made an ocean of mistakes on the basketball side.

April 24, 20224 yr TLR wants to bring up opponents batting averages on his decisions in this game. How about you take a look at the batting average of your own team. Specifically Leury Garcia batting .098 but yet you keep throwing him out there….

Without Harrison available, the only choice is Burger…which is arguably better. Mendick certainly wasn’t the reason for the loss.

Well, with Grandal catching…it just puts that much more pressure on the pitcher. It is what it is. With the injury to Hendriks, hard to imagine Arraez failing two times in a row in that situation. Felt a loss coming either way, but generally you don’t let the other team’s best player beat you, especially if his run means nothing.

At this point it doesn’t matter who you throw out there just as long as it’s not Leury. He looks like a little leaguer out there. If Harrison is that hurt then he needs to go to the IL and call someone up. Or hell send Leury there in his place and call it an IL trip to rebuild his confidence or something Edited April 24, 20224 yr by HahnsKiddieTable
