Did he think they would start hitting? Every quote I’ve seen him give was only about the pitching staff.

I don’t know what you wanted him to do this year when his marching orders were obviously “get rid of a bunch of payroll.”

That's my thing. Even shitty teams should be more competitive with this and have some sort of approach to everything. These guys got nothing.

Fire Grifol so at the very least you can HOPEFULLY get the dead cat bounce and right the ship even a little bit. You can't have him around once the younger guys start showing up in July.

Holy s%*#. Hahaha.

You gotta fire Pedro today. I don't care how bad the talent on this team is.

I don't care if that kid is a teenager - your face is painted and you look like a fucking dork.

I'm guessing water is getting on it from how the wind is blowing with their water fountain stuff.

And the correct one.

I think so as well. Everything going on (including getting rid of all of your payroll) makes me think it is already in process.

That was a horrible send, glad it worked out.

Andrew Vaughn now giving us Javy Baez swings.

Vaughn needs to go spend some time in Charlotte. Absolutely fucking pathetic.

Can't put anything past the Sox - but he would replace Pillar, right?

Cool?

Andrew Vaughn should not be THIS bad. Holy s%*#.

Man, our hitters don't need this strikezone. They are bad enough.

It would have at least won you a couple games. You'd hope your catcher and SS would run into a few.

The only chance the offense had this year was Robert/Moncada/Eloy playing the vast majority of the year and actually finding their next level (Eloy and Moncada at least), and then you needed Vaughn to improve and Benintendi to have some form of a pulse. None of those things are happening. But I agree - the defense and pitching has looked better.

These guys already look like they are playing out the string.

The only one of those that actually matters is Fletcher.

Cleveland took that risk and are now paying for it.

And then when Cease's elbow starts to act up you'd all lose your mind about not moving him.

I'm willing to give Getz another year or two. He knew this was an absolute punt year, so he committed nothing to it. Which, while watching is completely awful, I understand to a degree. You have young guys either coming up this year or should be ready next year. I think offseason 2025 is the big one and a place where we see if he actually starts signing impact guys. Grifol should have been fired midseason last year. Just an absolute fucking moron.

So why did they pull Colas last night? They must really hate him.
