LaRussa is trolling the fans at this point, isn’t he?  There can’t be a reasonable explanation for Garcia hitting third.

Came just to say this exact thing.

I don’t know what the hell is going on, but this shit isn’t funny.

TLR has it in his head that bad lefties are better than good righties vs RHP.

Then can you explain Sheets (basically zero OF experience) in the more difficult corner position (RF) and Haseley (good OF defender) in the "stash Eloy out there" position?

This is the question I was asking. 

Imagine wasting your championship window hiring a crusty old drunk manager that throws consistent games away...  This is indefensible.

I’m sure glad they didn’t add a lefty impact bat to the roster this offseason.

Same here...I just can't understand this at all!

Everyone (except Reinsdorf) knew this was a horrendous hire. He is going to fuck this window we have.

Don’t forget he also played a huge role in the horrible, horrible offseason acquisitions 

It's funny seeing you guys trying to rationalize sundowning

I think the outfield is more that Vaughn played 2 games yesterday and Jimenez is still too sore to play.

Just saw a tweet where it had stats about how Leury may be the worst #3 hitter that has ever happened. loll

If this were a little league team, the parents would be fighting in the parking lot over LaRussa batting his son 3rd.

I wonder how long the coaching staff argued with Tony about this line up, or if they have just given up yet?

JFC. That’s all I have to say.

This is going to sound like I'm joking but I'm seriously not.

Someone needs to check and see if there are unusually large bets getting placed against the Sox BEFORE the lineup gets posted.

We need to avoid double headers at all costs because 1 DH will basically mean we punt the series. It’s obvious what TLR DH philosophy is and it’s not one that promotes in on field success.

Do they even have a say?

We couldn't be so lucky.

 

Tony La Russa can't even get 4/20 right.

Shut up, Steve.

At what point does Hahn step in and say....dude wtf??? Are we trying to get swept.
