Kyyle23 Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 I just don’t want Pedro to be the guy teaching the young guys on this team how to be major leaguers. I totally recognize that this team could be managed by prime Bobby Cox and still lose 100, but Pedro honestly does not add any sort of value to this team. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually at some point this year we will see a couple of the young guys make an appearance. He should not have a single conversation with them, let alone fill out a lineup card.

ozzfest Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 At this point leaving Grifol in there shows fans, players etc that Jerry doesn't give an F. It's so apparent we are all just a bunch of morons for watching this team. Jerry is the worst owner in sports. Can't take it anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand There’s a zero percent chance MLB allows this team to move to Nashville and Jerry wouldn’t do it either because it tanks the valuation for when it’s sold after he passes. It’s smoke and mirrors to try and get the state to renew the criminally favorable lease terms at GRF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 (edited) Forgive me but I'm very upset. Grifol is a stooge. My gosh. So you go 3-0 with Pham and it's obvious Pham and Mendick are two guys who actually are worthy of a spot on the big league roster. So he rests Pham cause he had no spring training. Are you serious Grifol??? Your team has a chance to start winning some games and go from historically bad to just bad and you REST PHAM?? After three fricking games? That's what they said on the radio. He was rested tonight cause he had no spring training, You'd think Grifol would want to ride the hot bat and win a fourth in a row against a Minnie team that embarrased the Sox in Minnie. Instead they bench Pham and let him pinch hit once. This resting of players in the big leagues is a fricking joke. Thanks Pedro. You are a buffoon. I bet he was so proud of himself making sure to rest Pham after three games. Just resign. Three games and he's tired??? Gawd I'm angry.
