The Chicago White Sox have been something of a dumpster fire in 2022. After winning the AL Central at a canter last year, the White Sox have languished so far this year, sitting four games under .500 and six games behiCody Bellinger nd the division-leading Twins.
For many, the blame lies at the door of manager Tony La Russa. The HaManny Machado ll-of-Famer is a certified baseball legend. But his management of the team has flattered to deceive for much of the season, best exemplified by his decision to intentionally walk Trea Turner with two strikes back in June.
La Russa less egregiously repeated the bizarre choice in the first game of the White Sox's doubleheader against the Guardians on Tuesday, after Jose Ramirez got into an 0-1 count with Davis Martin on the mound. La Russa gave Ramirez a pass after the foul ball, a decision made oJuan Soto nly more confusing by the fact it was 4-0 in the bottom of the fifth inning with two outs.
Not even the hometown broadcastersMLB Accessories could defend this move.
The Guardians one the first of a atlanta braves jersey cheap two-game tilt on Tuesday 4-1.
Now, the pressure is on. And according to former White Sox manager — and everyone's second favorite Ozzie — Ozzie Guillen, La Russa is not responding well…at all.
On NBC Sports Chicago's "White Sox Live", Guillen and former White Sox World Series hero Scott Posednik discussed Chicago's struggles. Guillen, who was briefly managed by La Russa at the start of his career, let it be known that he felt La Russa was underperforming in his role.

All that to atlanta braves gear near me be said, morale is low and tensions are high.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today wrote the Sox are currently experiencing “unrest, cliques and lack of player leadership” in the clubhouse.
This is in spite of Tim Anderson being named an All-Star starter, Jose Abreu continuing to impress, and several pitchers posting ERAs under atlanta braves jersey navy 3.00. The talent is there, the utilization of it is not.
MLB teams have shown comfort moving on from veteran leadership so far this season. Joe Girardi and Joe Maddon have been let go by the Phillies and Angels, respectively, but Jerry Reinsdorf doesn't own either of those teams. The White Sox haven't fired a manager midseason since 1995, and La Russa's hiring was personaMLB Camo Apparel l to begin with.
Reinsdorf's stub atlanta braves jersey xxxl bornness is likely the only reason La Russa is still in this role, as the White Sox wind down the first half of the season. Oddshark has La Russa with the best odds to be fired next at +400, but it all depends on if ownership caves to the outside noise.
History suggests that isn't likely, but perhaps a wallowing AL Central in which the White Sox can still compete will ultimately force Reinsdorf's hand.
The Angels didn't give Joe Maddon a atlanta braves sweatshirt women's long leash before removing him from his post earlier this season.
Will the White Sox act similarly?
