    Wait, so a team with an out of touch 77 year old manager doesn’t have a good locker room?? I’m utterly shocked 

  • I know Leury Garcia is definitely in the pro Tony group. 

  • I know you never agree with any form of White Sox slander, but it’s amazing your lack of understanding on a topic like this. Do you think Bob Nightengale just….made this up? The same Bob Nighteng

The Cubans on the team are clearly a clique right?

Hell, calling 2022 Corpseball is an insult to Jerry Manuel 

 

It's a lot easier to get along when you're winning. 

It could be that this team has had issues in the clubhouse for a while now and that all the losing this year is finally airing some of the dirty laundry that's been masked by the team winning the previous 2 years. 

Hopefully this is Rick Hahn and/or Kenny Williams trying to get Tony to leave or Jerry to let them fire him.

La Russa and Abreu gone after 2022.

Trade Giolito, Anderson, and Moncada.

Build a new team with a new coaching staff in 2023. Stop putting up with shit!!!

Not that this is telling us anything we didn't already know, but there is really nothing left TLR does well if he can't hold a clubhouse together

Things I expected TLR to be good at when he was hired:

1. Has playoff experience

2. Knows how to manage a clubhouse

Things TLR is actually good at:

1.

2.

3.

I don’t agree with any of this stuff. Stuff like this gets posted from time to time and had no sources to back up the claims

The org (JR) throwing his players under the bus as cover for not firing his bestie, since he can’t admit that bringing him back was a massive fuck up.

What are you seeing in the clubhouse?

The question is it coming Jerry or KW?  I feel like Hahn uses Passan or someone else for his leaks.

It's the same core of players they had in 2019-20 and there weren't clubhouse issues then. What's changed (rhetorical quesiton)?

2022 White Sox: Civil War

Seems like a motivation strategy by the FO. Leak some Damaging info (whether real or not) about the to team to their favorite journalist. Players on the team take offense to their dirty laundry being publicized. Maybe this brings them closer and motivates them to play better. Maybe this generates a  “Us against them” mentality. Maybe I need a tinfoil hat.

Don't forget Bob was the one who got the TLR info 1st. SOMEONE is slipping him info from the inside.

There was a level of joy and togetherness surrounding this team in 2019 + 2020 which made them so fun to watch. That's been gone the last 2 seasons. I think the confidence they played with, the change the game attitude etc is something that should have made this group of players special and it's pretty much gone now. Maybe that's all projecting because I don't like TLR, but just putting aside the tactical stuff which we all know he's terrible at, what he's (seemingly) done to hurt the clubhouse culture has made this team so much less fun to watch on a daily basis.

Me personally I think it’s JR blaming the players in defense of TLR.  I don’t think KW or RH would bite the hand that feeds them unless they had one foot out the door.

Can’t argue with that. 

I maintain my conspiracy theory we see some action over the All Star break, but Tony getting fired seems like an unattainable dream.  That being said, this tweet creates the smallest amount of hope for me that Tony may not be bulletproof.

I think you're right. It seems obvious just from connecting a few dots Jerry is a source for Bob, right? But it's remarkable to me that he wouldn't see leaking the clubhouse is in a bad spot as a direct indictment of his handpicked manager.

Leury is obviously Iron Man in this one, but who is the Captain America leading the resistance against Tony?  My sleeper guess is definitely Big Energy.  I could see Legend and him clashing.
