caulfield12 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 “There’s no magic remedy here. The remedy here is you know what? Let’s get ready to work again in Milwaukee. That’s it,” White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said. “There’s no magic wand here to where it’s, ‘OK, now we are going to start to hit.’ “It’s about work. It’s about preparing, working. These guys are not afraid to sweat, not afraid to get after it. We have to continue to get after it. As far as the statistics and the history of this team and what we are doing, I’m not really focused on that. I’m focused on where we are at and where we gotta go.” https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/news/white-sox-assistant-gm-josh-barfield-on-team-s-struggles CHICAGO -- The 2023 Arizona Diamondbacks made a somewhat improbable run to the World Series before losing to the Rangers in five games. But just two years before that run of excellence, Arizona finished at a painful and forgettable 52-110. Josh Barfield was there for part of ‘23 as Arizona’s director of player development, before joining the White Sox as assistant general manager under new general manager Chris Getz. He was there for the D-backs’ entire rough journey in ‘21. So he can talk first-hand about a baseball team’s climb from oblivion to primetime in a relatively short period of time. “That was a horrible stretch,” Barfield told MLB.com prior to Chicago’s 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday at Guaranteed Rate Field. “I want to say we set the record for most road losses. We went a month, and we won like two or three games.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I would like to know why last night Pedro didn't say the team was flat. Wasn't it basically the same game as the night he finally popped off, except against inferior pitching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lee late homer and calling them flat again would have put both Grifol and Lee into direct/open conflict. If he threw the players under the bus again…they might just totally give up until Robert comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were outscored during the regular season. Just got hot at an opportune time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
