April 9, 20241 yr Not even joking here. Soxtalk RIPPED Tony to shreds for telling players not to hustle all the time. Look at what has happened to our team for hustling to first. Yoan went down with a terrible looking injury. Eloy went down running to first, AGAIN. Robert tore his hip flexor running to first, then pulled it again recently while rounding first. Tony knew his personnel. He knew that he had a bunch of players made of glass. He got demolished for it, but he was right. You can't have any of the "big 3" hustling at this point. They are getting destroyed from it. I know Soxtalk's MO is "blame Tony and Pedro for everything", but Tony was correct here.
April 9, 20241 yr Under no circumstances does any White Sox fan owe TLR ANYTHING. But I'm sure he appreciates you felating him, Ron.

April 10, 20241 yr Not only did Tony know the benefits of not having his guys hustle and giving them extra rest, he also understood the rejuvenating effects of a nice nap before the start of a division game. Pedro has a lot to learn. Edited April 10, 20241 yr by WhiteSox2023

Maybe said players who keep getting hurt doing a simple thing like running need to look at themselves in the mirror first. They are getting paid millions of dollars, there's no excuse why they can't hustle AND not hurt themselves. Other players can do it. They need to reexamine their training and conditioning methods and so do the Sox organization in general. But after this year it won't matter, they'll be someone elses problem.

As I said in the gamethread, It's better for the Sox players to hustle and get hurt than have them loafing and getting hurt anyway.
April 10, 20241 yr I was as open and supportive of TLR as almost anybody here and nah, f*** that noise. He wasn't the main problem, but he was a problem. And most importantly (in hindsight) he signaled the old stupid JR logic that would doom the franchise after he was hired one way or another.
April 10, 20241 yr Unfortunately, if a Sox player is nursing a leg injury and doesn't go full tilt down to first base he will make the highlight reel as Robert jr did and get labeled a slacker out of context.
