In a sense, it’s amazing that the Chicago White Sox have managed to run away with the AL Central despite having a manager who can make every game miserable.
Tony La Russa had already gone through a whole ordeal this season with throwing his own player, Yermin Mercedes, under the bus for hitting a home run on a 3-0 pitch. And on Monday, he seemed equally upset at rookie catcher Seby Zavala for letting the Blue Jays’ Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a game-tying RBI single off a 3-0 pitch.
La Russa went as far as to berate Zavala right there in the dugout for the pitch selection, and the exchange was captured on the broadcast.
