Since Tony La Russa returned to managing, success had been hard to come by. But, what about the times when his teams were successful? How were his decisions back in the day, and did he ever give his teams an edge with them? Let’s take a look at La Russa’s decisions during the three World Series his teams won.
Some notes before we begin:
- The only decisions we will be observing are in-game moves. So, pitching changes, bunt attempts, stolen base attempts, and things of that nature will be included.
- Also, these will all be judged on a simple good/OK/bad scale by thought process and result.
