As much as we didn’t want to do this podcast tonight, we had to address the Chicago White Sox manager enforcing “Major League Baseball” “unwritten rules” on his rookie star.
Highlights of our talk about the dumbfuckery of this Tony La Russa/Yermín Mercedes kerfuffle:
- Why in the world do we have to talk about La Russa’s clown act with the White Sox as the best team in baseball?
- Is there any aspect of this “controversy” that is acceptable, namely Yermín swinging through a take sign? Brett lets you know what the answer is probably no, as La Russa let another tell leak in his pregame Zoom today
- Boston runs on Yermín Mercedes when he was pitching earlier in the season and that’s OK .
