Lip Man 1 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 To the Sun-Times: “Obviously disappointing, this is not something we planned for. Something we didn’t really expect.” “You can’t pinpoint it in one area because there have been times where we’ve made mistakes mentally and physically on the field defensively. There have been times where we have not executed a game plan. There have been times where, on the pitching end, we leave a ball out over the plate.” ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Harold Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I'm just more amazed that this clown was allowed to lose 71 games before the break in his second season as manager and is (as of this angry post) still employed. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty wild. Hopefully they are just waiting until the trade deadline or something to make a move. No way this clown should be give a single inch of rope at this point. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 “I’m shocked to still have a place here but thanks the Getzy and my boy Jerry, there isn’t anything I can do apparently which, you know, would cause me to lose this job. No one expected it but we just have to keep managing and know that one day, we will win. Our history shows that. These guys are professionals. They are fighters.” -Pedro Grifol 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides he came from the Royals. They were a reversed s%*# sandwich, bread in the middle, s%*# on the outside. He's use to losing.

How about he fakes an injury and gets a medical procedure that takes him out until he qualifies for the extra million? It's a win win for everyone.

It’s hard to believe this could possibly be true, between cheap Jerry and Grifol being a new manager with no previous managerial experience. I think I had seen somewhere that the number was more like around a million per year for each of the 3 years of his contract.

There is no way that's true. Earlier reports were something like $800k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
