The Tony LaRussa “edge” hasn’t manifested itself…

Whichever moron decided that calling for fastball after fastball was the route to go in this series should be fired.

That’s been a problem all year. I’m thinking it’s a Katz thing.

Yeah that last one by Carlos was a head scratcher. IIRC up 0-2. I know the bases were loaded, but that should have been a wipe out slider.

Yep. Had Correa 0-2 twice and didn't throw him anything besides fastballs that he got hits on.

I could steal a base against the Sox. Just another issue that hasn’t been emphasized at all this season.

Let’s go, baby! 7 run 9th! If any team can do it, it’s this one!

I don’t see how you can view this season as anything but a failure. You bring a Hall of Famer baseball person to get this group over the hump and yet all he can do is equal the amount of playoff wins as his predecessor. You can’t argue that he’s an upgrade over Renteria at all.

I hated the hire at the time. Damn sure hate it even more now. Fuck you, Jerry Reinsdorf.

This ALCS proves they need to hire someone who is a better cheater.

LaRussa is a bad fit for this club. Need a manager with more energy, and who embraces the 2021 game, not the 1981 game.

They need to get better defensively. You have a lot of pieces, but I’m not sure how well they fit together. You have like 3-4 1st basemen on the roster you want to get more playing time to. The off season will involve some hard choices if you want to do more than leave things to chance.

It’s doable, but you guys will be surprised to find that I’m not really sure how you improve this team. You need to get better defensively at 2-3 positions, but that will involve difficult choices (trading Jiminez or Grandal?). If Abreu weren’t the heart and soul of this team, I’d say you move him, but that’s like the Red Sox trading Big Papi.

And my thoughts are LaRussa is back next year (if he wants to be, and I expect he will).

Not sure what you do with Kimbrel. I’d like to keep him, but with Hendriks around that seems unlikely. I suppose they could exercise his option and trade him for a strong defensive catcher. IDK

You’ve got to figure out what to do with Sheets and Vaughn. Too good/promising to sit, but don’t help your defense get better. Grandal needs to move to DH/backup catcher.

I’d love to bring Rodón back. Perhaps something incentive laden. I’m emotionally attached to Rodón because he’s my favorite pitcher on the staff. But even with injury history hard to let a dominant lefty go. Hopefully he can build up his arm elasticity after pitching a mostly full year.

Your team just got dick slapped at home in an elimination game but sure, go ahead and bitch about Abreu getting hit in a 7-1 game with 2 outs in the 8th inning.

Go away, you stupid fossil.
