Who does Tony La Ru sa manage, again? Because his postgame comments Tuesday night certainly sound like it's not the White Sox.Aftera two-day kerfufflethat featured Yermin Mercedes doing his job correctly and the Twins trying to ma sage their bruised egosby throwing at himTuesday, La Ru sadelivered a predictably soft and reprehensible response to the revenge attempt.TLR says "I don't have a problem with how Josh Hader Jersey the Twins handled it," in regards to Duffey throwing at Yermin Mercedes. Ryan McGuffey (@RyanMcGuffey) "I don't have a problem with how the Twins handled it," the 76-year-old La Ru sa said.MORE: Really, Tony? A manager e sentially saying, "Yeah, I'm cool with the other dudes throwing at my guy for hitting a home run" isn't the best look. It's an even worse look when you consider that teammates are supporting Jonathan Villar Jersey Mercedes, with shortstop Tim Anderson posting his appreciation of Mercedes on Instagram.La Ru sa's got a great feel for his team Josh Goldberg (@JGoldberg12) Being a baseball player is one of two jobs in the world for which you can be punished for doing your job correctly; the other, a cast member on MTV's "Jacka s."That's slightly fitting, considering that there are still donkeys in Manny Pina Jersey MLB policing lame unwritten rules, with players getting in their feelings all too often.Mercedes found that out the hard way when Twins pitcher Tyler Duffey decided to throw behind him Tuesday night. La Ru sa left his player out to dry with his postgame comments, a staple of the old-school baseball attitude that's on life support with the direction MLB is moving. Still, it's problematic.Imagine the NBA if someone pulled a flagrantfoul on Steph Curry after Curry's signature chest tap and point following a 3-pointer in the fourth quarter. Yovani Gallardo Jersey Picture the NFL with players helmet-huntingopponents after a touchdown dance.FAGAN: Listen, sports are a place for fragile egos.There's just too much testosterone involved,and these guys are hardwired to compete from the moment they first throw a baseball.The Sox, now sitting at 25-16, have Milwaukee Brewers Jersey been winning despite La Ru sa's crusty attitude this year, which should offer some modicum of relief for a core that's on the ascent.Still, for every Yermin Mercedes or Tim Anderson, there's a Tony La Ru sa or a Tyler Duffey, unfortunately.It's a paradigm that seems to be shifting, even if guys like La Ru sa are keeping the old-school mentality on life support.
