Wow this thread is starting to go down hill. I tend to ignore media that are Grifol apologists. I don't care what he inherited he was bad and not management material. He was highly recommended by Getz to begin with. Sure he was highly recommended but one player in the Royals organization said he was a kiss ass. It was obvious. Funny how he commented about things he saw from the Royals dugout when becoming manager. Did anyone realize he is use to 100 loss organizations. So the problem with the hire to begin with is getting someone from a habitual losing organization.

That's trade material. #MakeBirminghamBetter

Maybe he got bored of the team that wins a 100 games a year and wants to see what it is like to loose 100 games.

Have to wonder the TA, ELoy, Moncada, the type of injuries they've had that being good at hitting a baseball no longer possible. Then you have to wonder if the approach to hitting, drafting, and development are not consistent in the organization other than consistently bad. Watching the better teams you see a lot more patience at the plate. You can have slow guys like Vaugh and Sheets in your lineup unless they are contently hitting 30 homeruns.

Not gonna happen in the Getz era, I'm find myself rooting for players no longer on the Sox. They will have another chance at this record next year. This fanbase is exhausted. Even mediocre is not gonna work. Who will be next season's standout for the #MakeBirminghamBetter pool. Then those trades will be traded and the result is nothing or worse. See Vargas

I'm a big fan of Cannon since he isn't one of those break a wall pitchers. Still puzzled by that infield pop up. I guess Cannon called for it. Watched one of the better teams in baseball mess up one between the IF and OF last week.

Did you have to look that up" Otherwise impressive.

Padres have a slight chance to win the division I don't think the Tigers roll over if they get a spot.

we know the feeling

On MNF a fan flipped of the camera and Frank Gifford said there's a fan who thinks ABC is number one.

They find some way to disappoint.

LOL that's what a wise announcer does.

There's no organization that can be fleeced by getting rid of him when you are that organization. Then most lose when they try a package deal with more than one team. See Getz 2024.

He should be in LO - left off the roster.

So who called for it?

Which meant they couldn't do anything at last year's trade deadline.

That's a triple or inside the park if it were PCA. This is also the result of piecing together a team where players have rarely played together. It's also dangerous.

It depends what the younger generation of voters do ten years from now. They might even let the roiders in.

it's best when there is no emotional interest.........I use to love watching those Joliet Jackhammers games

Like watching other teams. With the expanded playoffs Sept. is a great time to watch. The 50+ win teams aren't rolling over. You don't want to face the Rockies or Nat'ls.

Good question. They seem to have lessen the standards of players getting in. I'm not really that much impressed with pitchers in the glass arm era. He hardly had any run support after the all star break. He could have won 200 by now.

Anyone jealous that Kenny and Hahn's manager by be in the postseason? Our current manager was a minimum wage employee. Nothing against him but that's the kind of person you can only get for this job

Sale pitching tomorrow. Gotta watch. It will suck for him if no postseason.

I prefer that kind of "average". He hits homeruns. Fans like that stuff.

We do. That means we will see them again and again Leury Garcia style. Even worse is Getz trying to make 7 team trade that will get rid of one of them to the point we will miss their below average performance.
