Yep, Naylor’s homer was meaningless.Ramirez and Naylor deserve more disgust than Straw

The media is soft. No one dare question Tito. Andre Knott dare not jeopardize his bromance and ask a hard hittin question.I hope someone asks Teflon Tito about both Straw decisions. Because both were borderline absurd.
Arias' four at-bats:There have been lots of dumb in-game managers in baseball. Tony LaRussa jumps to the front of that line. But Tito has not been a good in-game strategist in a while. Today was just another example. Actually, Tito gives us MULTIPLE head scratchers in many games. Today - taking out Freeman to pinch run Straw, who hasn’t stolen a base since May fucking 18th! Granted, Straw should have been on 2nd as the interference call on Arias was ridiculously wrong. But he tried again and was thrown out. Then, why was Arias batting in the first place? Bell is sitting on the bench, he’s not been worth his paycheck but he should bat instead of Arias 100 times out of 100. Tito spits sunflower seeds with both thumbs up his ass and what should we expect besides failure? Then, later we have Straw batting with the game on the line. That could have been Freeman batting. Or it could have been Bell batting, since Tito didn’t bat him for Arias earlier!
My fucking head is spinning. Tito is terrible.
The front office needs to send Arias back to Columbus. I'd like them to DFA Straw but they would look like idiots having just given him a long term contract.Nothing will change till Tito retires. The front office will never fire him, nor will they confront him about his management skills or lack thereof. And people like Andre Knott are cheerleaders, not reporters. Give Andre some Pom poms.
You didn't enjoy the 70's and 80's?Hopefully, Tito is a long way from retiring, and hopefully, nothing changes. (Although a bigger budget would be nice.)
I kinda like watching one of the winningest teams year in and year out in baseball.
I did, but it was kind of masochistic.You didn't enjoy the 70's and 80's?
Hard to worship the ground Tito La Russa walks on with an abundance of miscues this season already. Are we spoiled as fans? Sure, in a sense. Manny Acta/Eric Wedge are far worse options, experiences as fans, etc. 2023 indicates Tito is approaching the end. His decisions can very much be questioned. The grass isn't always greener on the other side, but it's almost damn time to try a different method.Hopefully, Tito is a long way from retiring, and hopefully, nothing changes.
