The Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa was facing some tough questions following Thursday’s 11-9 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. During the 6th inning trailing 7-5, La Russa chose to intentionally walk Trea Turner with first base open and Freddie Freeman on second base. Normally, that sounds like a wise decision with a lefty on the mound. The issue that prompted people to go crazy online was that there were two outs and a 1-2 count.

Max Muncy made the White Sox pay, hitting a three run home run.

After the game, La Russa defended his decision.
