LaRussa screws up in game again…should have challenged that

Joliet Orange Sox

I’ll give TLR a pass on that one. I watched the slo-mo slowed to quarter-speed on the dvr and it was really close. I’m not sure it would have been overturned and not using the challenge on a play at first in the first inning that is that close is justifiable for me.

Stone and Bennetti throwing some low-key shade at TLR on that 3-0 discussion during Kepler’s AB?

Foulkelore

So, was the Lamb home run ok, or does he need to write an apology letter? A double would have shown more sportsmanship.

soxfan

Totally unsportsmanlike for a AAAA player to take a guy making his big league debut deep. Need to give him some time to get comfortable.

Foulkelore

I don’t want Lamb ever calling off Tim again.

Drdoctor

Though Lynn was going to strangle him in the dugout.
Hey Tony, how about instead of legislating entertainment, you teach your players when to call each other off?

LaRussa really looks like an idiot for not backing his guy now that he got thrown at

Foulkelore

Not only that, but I’m sure La Russa agrees more with the Twins throwing at his guy (because that’s baseball to him) than Mercedes hitting the home run last night.

BuehrleMan

I’d like it if the sanctioned way to respond to an opposing team’s player breaking the unwritten rule of hitting a home run when they’re not supposed to is that in the next game the offending team’s manager has to get in the box and the pitcher gets to throw at him.

Okay, that’s not really serious. Nobody should be throwing the ball at anybody. I just really dislike Tony La Russa.

Homer here and I rename my 3 y/o Yermin.

Foulkelore

Do it anyway.

evenyoudorn

There are enough Matthews. One too many, methinks.

(That makes it sound like I’m going to kill him)

FTT but I will say I haven’t really seen a Twins or any other fan upset about the homer. Just the old men announcers or the old men writers or old man TLR. Them and apparently Tyler Duffy

nashsox

I want to know – what did TLR mean by he will endure consequences within the family? I didn’t realize the White Sox were one of the Mafia’a five families.

Foulkelore

Make Yermin ride with him to the park every day?

nashsox

Haha. That made me laugh. That definitely would be the worst punishment!

I’m not for bean-ball wars, but would love to see Kopech drill someone

What would your position be if you were for bean-ball wars?

HouseOfTheRisingSox

Haha. Multiple beanings. I was just calling for one.

Maybe Tony thought intentionally walking Sano there with first base open would be against the rules too? He is so inept

How can he say Yermin is clueless with how he manages this team?
