The point is they guys were great, that time has passed and they are a hinderance to a current day team. Tony has probably cost the Sox 3 games so far and we aren't even in mid may. Managers do matter and Renteria is better than this version of Larussa. It should have been Hinch anyway.

M&H this morning said that if the issue had been with an unwritten rule, Tony would have been all over it.

Dave Grohl is an overrated and overhyped disturbance to the music industry.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Hate to tell ya this "Amigo", but that is sort of the essence of how life works.

I'm more concerned that the bench coach didn't know either.

Exactly.

Its one thing for Tony not to know. He has managed over 5000 big league games and outside of maybe an intradquad spring exhibition game, this is the first time he has had to start an inning with a runner on base. Tony could have easily said to McEwing, or Boston, or the Bench/Hitting coach, "Look I've got enough to worry about. This runner on 2nd rule in extras, this is your baby. I want you to learn the rules inside and out. Who can run, who can't, if a pitcher made the last out, if there is an injury. Every dotted I and every crossed T, you need to have answers for when I ask you about it, got it?"

Clearly TLR himself didn't know, and nobody on the coaching staff did either. Its totally a bullshit rule, but its a rule and if its in the game for now then somebody in the dugout has to know the rule inside and out. No exceptions.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

I get it, but Tony is the manager. It all falls on him. He came in with somewhat of a clean slate given his history and HOF status, but between getting a DUI or whatever and more than a couple of dumbfuck moves over the first 30 some games of the season, he no longer gets the benefit of the doubt. Nor should he.

I was speaking from my POV. Some other Sox fans felt the same. The media sucked Maddon's dick from day one, and turned a blind eye to his dumbfuck moves as well.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

MY POV MEANS I DID MY BEST TO GIVE HIM A CLEAN SLATE, YOU FUCKING IDIOT DUMBFUCK. God, how to manage to walk and breathe at the same time.

The follies are piling up for White Sox manager Tony La Russa just 29 games into the season.

After Chicago’s 1-0 loss in 10 innings at Cincinnati on Wednesday afternoon, La Russa admitted he didn’t know the entirety of the extra-innings rule that was implemented in 2020 in which a runner starts on second base to begin every half-inning starting in the 10th. La Russa’s ignorance led to closer Liam Hendriks (instead of first baseman Jose Abreu) risking injury by running the bases in the top of the 10th – and standing at third base as a non-threat to run home as the Reds recorded a key out – before Hendriks gave up the game-deciding hit in the bottom half.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Leury Garcia is on the team, and the Sox lost because of that.

Longer version...Vaughn ended the top of the 9th. Kopech loaded the bases in the bottom half with 2 outs. TLR decided to double switch to get Hendriks in the game, and substituted Lamb for Vaughn, thus putting Hendriks into the Vaughn spot in the batting order. It was a nice move. Kopech couldn’t throw strikes and Hendriks got out of it.

Because Manfred is a fucking psychopath and instituted the dumbfuck extra innings rule that would be shameful were it practiced in little league...Sox put a runner on 2nd top of 10. Normal rule calls for last out to be that guy. Fine print says that’s not the case if the pitcher occupies the spot of that ‘last out,’ without - apparently - a carve out for double switches. The key is to remember we’ve stopped playing baseball when extras begin.

None of this ends up mattering. Hendriks does a perfectly fine base running job on a slow roller to short that results in 1st and 3rd, one out. That guy on first is Leury, who shits his pants mid steal attempt and gets thrown out like a patriot. Billy Hamilton at the plate does Billy Hamilton things. Head to bottom 10, Reds eke out a 1-0 game 2 hitters later.

Moron, it didn't have to be a double steal, if a position player is on 3rd, perhaps the catcher doesn't even throw to 2nd, knowing the running on third could come home.

Yeah, having that speedster Jose Abreu at 3rd yesterday would have been a perfect time to call for a double steal.

Fucking genius.

Moron, when you have a slow runner like Abreu, Konerko, or a pitcher on 3rd, the catcher is likely going to throw through to 2nd 99 times out of 100. The 1 time it wouldn't happen is with Grandal because he wouldn't make a clean catch to even attempt a throw.

People talk about managers when their team is shit. When your lineup features Leury, Hamilton, and Lamb, your team is shit.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.
