Thoughts on La Russa?
Maybe should have put this in the "General" forum, but all the smart people are over here.

Lol
We just went back 5 years.

I always liked him and I don't really care about the fact he hasn't managed in a decade. He obviously knows the game and age is just a number. I think it will work out, he certainly has the resume and players respect him.

I dont think he will resonate the same respect. He's an old school mind on a new school team.

I guess only time can tell, I could be miserably wrong. Never really know, but I do know that usually names are discussed with key players in the clubhouse.

Being a Cubs fan I watched Lou Pinella zone out game after game in the dugout. LaRussa great baseball mind back in the day but I think the game has passed him by.

Honestly doubt LaRussa is all there, he's a HOF manager so he can get by on just name alone at this point. Still, he pretty much fumbled the WS in 2011 and got bailed out by Freese.

Hey I mean if McClendon can coach when he was 80 I say we give LaRussa a shot at this at least. This White Sox are going to be great next year either way and if they can learn anything from him I say it's a win.
-
Yea I’m having a hard time seeing how he is going to relate to our young core.

Read a quote from him saying he doesn’t respect people kneeling for the flag back when the whole Kaepernick thing happened. Doesn’t look like he’ll last long with the new school way of showing emotions and bat flips and such.

How'd that new school baseball work out for the Rays? You leave Snell in and they might win 1-0. At least it would be a better shot than what they did.

exactly my general sentiments maybe these babied pitchers might gasp throw more than 80 pitches or even complete some games

Exactly my thinking. Could be more hurtful than helpful to the team. You see what happened when the Padres coach tried to scold Tatis. He thought twice

My “new ways” are not analytical at all. Every team uses analytics but shouldn’t be a deciding factor more of a guideline. A good coach adapts to his surroundings. Hope he’s up for the job and not an old stick in the mud

Ummmm I would say pretty good. They made it to the World Series I think. Problem is the coach trusted the numbers to much. But hey blame the way that got them there, that makes sense too

Why do you say he almost fumbled it?

Many reasons. Famously, calling the wrong guy out from the bullpen.

For your enjoyment, this read written right after:
He also proved completely ineffective in a FO role with AZ. You can sweep that under the rug tho since he has managerial experience strictly from on the field, but trust me, his uselessness wasn't loss on Diamondback fans.
Either way, HOFamer but he has no business around this talent whose of severely different philosophies playing a game that has vastly evolved in the last 9 years. I'd gladly quote myself and declare myself an idiot 12 months from now if need be. But I almost completely guarantee this is a bad signing.

I thought that pitching debacle was more of the miscommunication lilliquist had over the bullpen phone.
