greg775 Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 Agreed that today's loss was just a normal one. Down 9-1 after 3 or 10-1? That's pretty normal loss for these stiffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted June 18, 2024 Share Posted June 18, 2024 Woody Allen did say that 90% of success is just showing up. Asked Getz to assess Grifol's work as manager and if he's the guy for rest of '24: "There’s a lot of speculation on who is going to be in what role in future years and really it’s about showing up each day and figuring out how to put our players in the best position possible." — Scott Merkin (@scottmerkin) June 18, 2024 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I'd say the talent is so bad that in evaluating Pedro it's all about players. Do they think he's a total buffoon or OK. Shoulda never fired Ricky. But since he's long gone ... if the players 'respect' Pedro let's say on a 2 of 5 scale he could stay. If they think he's a 0 or 1 out of 5 get rid of him. He's been here long enuf I don't think many fans care cause they know the talent is that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted June 20, 2024 Share Posted June 20, 2024 Sox get the lead runner on in the 8th, and Pedro refuses to pinch hit for any of the next 3 hitters,.
