Chimpton Posted June 6, 2024 Share Posted June 6, 2024 If Grifol is this uninspiring and crap talking with the media it is no wonder he can't inspire the team to be anything more than an embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 6, 2024 Share Posted June 6, 2024 (edited) I was thinking about this tonight. Pedro has led the team to a 15-47 record. This is not hyperbole but a good portion of the fanbase (that can read and write lineup cards) if promoted to manager of the White Sox could probably have as good or better record than Pedro. Now if a fan had the job and had to meet with the GM every day and got help from the pitching and hitting coaches during games, that person probably could go at least 15-47. That's scary when you think about it. I mean maybe if one of our fans managed the team we'd be 5-57 but I dunno. I think some fans could have as good or better record than Pedro and that's scary. It's not hard to go 15-47. Edited June 6, 2024 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to think Montoyo would get at least next year too with how JR operates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grifol and DeJong must not realize that they are stuck in a public toilet with a broken flapper that people just keep crapping in anyways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleAleSox Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 Just like Sizemore finish out the year. Hiring young non coaches has worked for a few teams so see what he has. Give him nxt year, too. Who cares? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
