win a series on the road against the reigning division champs with three of your top four hitters out: Larussa sucks

That's definitely part of it.

And if you think the Sox are this good in spite of LaRussa, you're pretty much admitting the manager doesn't matter.

Some Sox fans would rather the Sox be worse as long as AJ Hinch were the manager ( he of the unassailable character) as long as Rick Hahn got to pick him.

This seems inaccurate.

I think that changes the discussion and should have been how Larussa framed it. Mercedes was insubordinate to his manager, not breaking unwritten rules.

You also keep that shit in house.

Yep.

I think we have to remember with Yermin that he is being given the chance he has dreamed of all his life at the age of 28 and has already arrived late once in six weeks of baseball. Also, there were whispers about his dedication as a minor leaguer. When Yermin says he has to be Yermin, that hasn't always worked very well.

Still, stupid Larussa accosting him on the field was poor management from a guy whose best quality was supposed to be management experience.

Wouldn’t have mattered . The narrative would still be that La Russa is the no fun manager ( though I dunno seems like the A’s , Cards and 83 Sox had plenty of fun ) and what’s the big deal swinging at a 3-0 pitch when you’re up 11 runs and why is he stifling the inherent joy at all costs that Latino baseball culture cultivates ?

Case in point . Sox blew a late lead in a game they should have won but that’s not the important thing. The important thing is Tony La Russa’s old-school mentality from the game before .

Enjoy the great season. It's in most heres makeup to be crying they're being abused. Even can't stop it as sports fans.

The White Sox Players are being abused by their elderly alcoholic manager. Can't make this stuff up.

During transition today, and I'm paraphrasing here, Bernstein said that LaRussa is being supported by aggrieved, mediocre, white men. It immediately made me think of this message board.

Was working on my boat today and got a lot of WSCR. I can’t get over how long they are going about this TLR stuff. STFU look at the standings.

Everyone sit down. They're on pace for 100 wins, without Jimenez, Robert and now Abreu. Giolito has been shit, until today. The defense has been clueless at times all year.

The station has an agenda and they are going to beat it into the ground.

If this was Alex Cora or Gabe Kapler, they wouldn't be covering it all the time.

He is their new trump, their new anti-masker.... Bernstein, Parkins and a few of the cucks at the sister station in milwaukee just want to show everyone how woke they are again and TLR is the new target. None of them give a fuck about a guy hitting 3-0,not hitting 3-0, ignoring a sign or any of it. TLR is a grumpy old man that says weird shit like most old people do. Yermin is a fat ass clown who for some reason has become a good hitter in what has to be his 12th or so year of organized ball. I would assume most of the clubhouse thinks they are both douches. What is outstanding is that most of these hosts that are trying to cancel old white man TLR are middle aged to old white men themselves.

Couldn't have said it better.

Aren't these the same guys that think Theo walks on water while ignoring the horrible spending and drafting decisions that he made?

Ya i said this like 2 weeks ago. Jerry does not give a shit except for the standings. Good job TLR - you're getting THE MOST out of this team with 2 star players injured for months. I can't think of any other manager - well Tommy LaSorda but he's dead - that could have pulled this off.

Yeah but he was " literally shaking" over the guy caught on camera playing the circle game behind Doug Glanville's back so he gets a pass.

They’re in first place so that proves a point, and disproves the others. Well said.

Funny thing is when position players pitch it's garbage time. Unwritten rules to respect a guy throwing 49 mph? I think Tony had a senior moment.
