Lasorda Can’t Please Worrell or the Fans

Hooray for Todd Worrell. Finally someone (and a relief pitcher, no less) speaks out against Tommy Lasorda’s refusal to allow a starting pitcher to complete a game. His policy of pulling productive starting pitchers in late innings for no justifiable reason (like, for example, because the shortstop makes an error) has cost the Dodgers hundreds of games.

It’s not too late for the Dodgers. Trade Lasorda for Marcel Lachemann. We then can have a manager who can instill in his players the desire and spirit to win.
