Who cares if the Twins are angry, anyway?

Let them be angry. Rivalries are good things.

I'll say, as a fan I wouldn't be angry if an opponent went deep when my manager brought in a fielder to pitch

It's actually what I would expect to happen.

It sure looks like Minnesota switched starting pitchers specifically to hit Mercedes in his first at bat. Then they will bring in their normal starter.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet the Sox score in the first inning.


hope you all got yourself some of that chon chon

This is why I don't put any stock in managers. LaRussa is in the Hall of Fame. But if you're a manager who "matters", i.e. an interventionist who wants to control the game as much as possible, there's just no way you pitch to the guy who has already hit two out with first base open. That's what the "book" says. But no, the HOF manager just sat on his ass in the dugout while his pitcher blew the game. The unwritten rules are clear. Sano gets hit in that situation.

Hold on. I would agree you don't throw him a strike. I'm not so sure you plunk him. If I'm reading the Twins correctly, it's what they want. The only person not living in Minneapolis who agrees with the Twins about the "3-0 position player don't swing" rule, is our manager. Right now, the Twins would cross dress if you told them it would bust their slump.

What is there to gain by repeatedly throwing your own guy under the bus in the media?

Even if Mercedes had actually done something wrong - which you’d have to be brain dead to believe - what does TLR get out of this whole thing?

It's non-sensical. You said ageism is the worst discrimination. So explain this.

Well sure, but that was sarcasm and this is a genuine question.

Hard to tell with your past defense of the overrated HOFer.

In fairness I started the fire TLR thread. I just didn’t think histrionics over putting Hendriks at 2nd were warranted.

The White Sox clubhouse has a manager who cares more about the feelings of a division rival than he does his own team. That's grounds to can this dipshit.

Fuck Jerry for forcing this shit on Hahn. Anyone who watched the hiring announcement knew Hahn didn't like this 1 bit.

Either did I. Team loss, fair and square. But shit adds up. I think he's already lost this team, but thank God for a couple alphas that have the proper frame of mind and won't allow the owner's buddy to fuck up a good thing.

He should have never been hired. Anybody who pays attention thought so also, including our own GM.

Yermin might be headed to the DL with injured feelings.

Giolito doesn't look right. Fastball is down, and he doesn't have the same control either.

On the flip side, I don't know how Moncada doesn't get to 3rd

Another nice move by LaRussa in starting Lamb.

Fuck Hahn for going along with it then. There's always the option of having integrity. He could have told Jerry no, I'm not going to hire him, as long as I am GM I am going to hire who I want. Fire me if you have a problem with it.

Hopefully he "doesn't look right" for the rest of the season.
