OAKLAND -- Manager Tony La Russa returned to the White Sox as planned on Sunday, but he was unsure if he would be able to resume his managerial role this season. "I just think a lot of it's going to depend on the experts," La Russa said. "I think it's
Would probably be better for all concerned if he took a less stressful consulting job with the Sox.

The Score 670 had some interesting discussion on the Tony situation. The official statement had the usual statements about medical clearance needed for TLR to return as manager. But it also said the organization needs to approve the return. I thought bug deal, Jerry would approve this in a second and Williams/Hahn would have no say. But The Score discussed that possibly the Sox lawyers may get involved about their liability of allowing a recently released heart patient back into a stress filled job.
Also, they discussed quotes from several players. It was apparent that Cairo gave them "both barrels" in his introductory speech to the team. One player said that they were told if they don't want to play hard, then get the &*%$ out.

Also, apparently people with pacemakers lead fairly normal lives, but i've read countless times, how over the top upset, LaRussa gets when his team loses . under that amount of stress, I feel like something could happen . no one wants to see him collapse on the field of play.

Yea, I read that about Miguel Cairo, and it sure sounds like he got everyone either fired up, or at least thinking that they have to get with the plan . sounds like just what the doctor ordered to me.

Interesting article on the Athletic this morning from Ken Rosenthal basically asking Tony LaRussa to step aside. Some of the tidbits covered:- Cairo wanted to give his team speech earlier, but didn't feel empowered to do so with LaRussa still there
- The emphasis on hits and contact over patience and power came from LaRussa, not Menechino
- LaRussa's relationships with his coaching staff is more authoritative than collaborative, which is an outlier in this decade of MLB

Everything that has come out recently about LaRussa's approach compared to Cairo's is not surprising. I said it a few weeks ago, teams are a reflection of their manager. This team went from being an exciting energetic bunch to a team that looked lethargic and going through the motions. That's on Tony.
I hope he gets healthy and is ok going forward, but I also hope the owner of this team sees what is going on and does what is best for the team and not his friend.

I'm sure my comment will draw some replies from some fans saying that this is all on the players and TLR isn't responsible for their lackluster play. All I can say to that is bull****! Managers DO make a difference in their leadership skills and can make a difference as to whether a team overperforms or underperforms.
What a waste of talent and a waste of a rebuild this team has been. Now they're stuck scrambling to play catch up with September already half over.
Can't wait to hear the FO say they can't spend $$$ this offseason due to lack of ticket sales.
