I don't understand how liking Cole today is even an option. For me, it has nothing to do with the Yankees and everything to do with the fact that he distanced himself from the Astros about 0.4 seconds after the final out of the World Series was recorded, publicly claiming free agent status while his (former) teammates were still licking their wounds just a few feet away. There are better ways to handle that and better ways to be a teammate and friend, business or no business, and he showed his true colors in that moment. **** that guy. Just my opinion.

It's like when people get upset about a team scoring a TD in garbage time. At the end of the day, it's your job to stop them.

I'd say it's even dumber to be worried about - there's no clock in baseball, you've got to get all 27 outs or 24 outs if you lose... no way around it. In football you can at least run it out.

This will be an interesting series.

Are the As gonna get up and prove that the beat down we put on them earlier wasn't a fluke or are we going assert our dominance over the As and take rightful spot at the top of the division?

The swinging on 3-0 doesn't bother me, but isn't the issue that he had a take sign?

If the head coach told the qb to kneel and the qb ran his own play to score that garbage time TD, there would be consequences.

At this point the White Sox are winning in spite of LaRussa. I'm not sure they could have made much worse of a hire.

Or that they were a threat for the division, but that has to pretty much sink their chances

Based on anything other than the extra-inning rule he didn't know? I don't keep up with the White Sox.

Are you not reading this whole page. He's about to lose the locker room while having the best record in baseball. What and see what happens when they cool down.

The A's are in first place with a team BA of .223 and ERA of 4.11. Very strange.

They have rediscovered the long lost Rangers magic juju for having the magic ability to win 1 run games.

It's amazing how a man with 2 DUI's can whine about someone breaking unwritten rules. Irony lives on.

Wait - so you think he's going to lose the locker room because he told the guy to take on 3-0?

Or you think he's going to lose the locker room because he wasn't happy that the guy blew off his sign on 3-0?

I'm pretty sure the other players understand they're supposed to follow the signs they're given.

Indeed, and don't forget the -8 run differential. Certainly a candidate to regress as the season plays out.

The game and culture has clearly passed him by. It was a extremely puzzling hire and it's already proving to be dysfunctional. They hate him in Chicago and they're the best team in baseball.

Why do you say they hate him in Chicago? And who is they? Players or fans or other?
If I'm understanding all this correctly I've got no problem with La Russa saying what he did. Why are you swinging at a 3-0 pitch when you're up 10 or whatever it was.
Farmer1906

They are the fans of The Sox. It could very well be the players too. He's already made a giant mistake by making his pitcher run. He's crushing a guy for no good reason. It's not unreasonable to think the guys don't trust/believe in him.

Why wouldn't you? He saw a pitch he could crush and he did.

The As always win like this. If it's high scoring they probably lose. Low scoring, watch out.

No good reason? He had a take sign.

You know who else gets take signs? Literally every other player in the major leagues.

You know what they do when they get a take a sign?

They take the pitch and move on with their life.

I think you're WAY overblowing this in the clubhouse.

We definitely agree that this was a strange hire, but if you think the clubhouse is dysfunctional because of the extra inning thing and this thing...well, I don't agree.

I guess I've always had issues with people who say teams are winning "in spite of" a manager or coach instead of just admitting they were wrong when they thought someone was a terrible hire.

I didn't realize how controversial that was.... I think it's pretty simple to understand, in my opinion:

1) it's okay to hit a bomb up 10+ runs
2) it's okay to hit a bomb off a position player up 10+ runs
3) it's okay to hit a bomb off a position player in every count, except 3-0

Maybe I'm crazy though

Why is he putting a take sign on up like 13? If for no other reason than some made up rule in his head then It just proved my point he's in over his head.
