If LaRussa cared primarily about wins and losses he'd be in the severe minority of major league managers, who mostly care about a. not getting fired, and b. being able to find the next job if/when they do. That might sound like wins and losses but it's really not. You can be an absolute disaster as a manager and still find work as a bench coach or base coach or roving minor league coach or something if you "play the game by the rules".
