So why wasn’t he fired yesterday?

And Eloy's is the Guaranteed Rate logo at this point.

Neither can Eloy.

Well, he threw a lot more than 45 innings this year.

Weird he had two bad starts in a row and is now hurt. Probably not related, though. Surely.

They are all dead to me.

This is also why I'm not that mad about not signing pitchers to long term deals. Keep them when they are young and cheap and treat them like running backs in the NFL.

Yeah he should have known he was going to need Tommy John surgery at the end of the season.

That it was the Sox doing it/showing up to be there?

It's a pretty big issue around the league as a whole.

I've always been curious about this, too. Do they just send someone from the Bull/Sox academy who wears a jersey?

They'll get swept this weekend, fire Grifol, and win the first game against the A's.

Both can be true. That they rushed him back and he is lazy.

I apparently can not read. In my defense BP on a phone is not great to look at.

His numbers look pretty good but he hasn't been past high A.

I voted Sizemore because that's who I would want, but it should probably be Montoyo because who gives a s%*# about him or his future? So let him see this awfulness until the end.

You think he looks or cares about any of that? He should because of his new tv network, but I don’t think he does.

This is where I’m at. It’s a bad team the last two years that he is making significantly worse.

I'm not super worried yet. I think he just needs to locate and sequence better. Both seem improvable.

Today might be the funniest lineup I've ever seen.

Yeah I am sure it will be more successful overall, but to call it successful already would mean you'd have to think the Sox one was successful. Which we know it wasn't. So I'm not claiming it on the Astros level quite yet. Might never get there.

Fire Grifol tomorrow. Lopez can stay on the team I guess, but he starts once a week. Benintendi is benched. Sheets is let go. Bring up Colas and your outfield Fletcher/Robert/Colas everyday. Infield is Vargas/Baldwin/Sosa/Vaughn Crochet pitches no more than 4 innings and gets piggybacked by Nastrini or something.

Orioles rebuild thus far hasn't really done anything that ours didn't do.

He will be traded at the winter meetings.

They will play better (still be bad) as soon as he is gone.
