    I wonder who Jerry is blaming for this mess of a team. Surely there are some non 'yes-men' in his life that tease/mock/ridicule him for this sorry excuse of a team. And his choices of GM and manager? Surely some people in his life are giving him hell for owning this awful club.

    Maybe he laughs at them and just shows them his full wallet.

    He blames the fans for not supporting the team

    And because this was using Top 30 lists to help, I forgot to add in the relief prospects like Zach Thompson (who eventually found his way to the majors with Toronto), Tyler Johnson (died upon reaching Charlotte) or Bennett Sousa.

    I can’t be the only one who googled Tyler Johnson thinking “wait, he died?”

    It has to be Eloy coming off IL (I think I option Vaughn).

    Only other thing I can think of is today is the last day they need to keep a guy in the minors so he won’t get an extra year of control…they wouldn’t call Colson up right now right?

    The reports the last few days is Eloy wasn’t ready.

    Hahaha can't make this s%*# up. I would assume this means they are reinstating Eloy tomorrow.

    I’m gonna guess they sign Tony Kemp

    If we're going to acknowledge that Grifol has some baseball knowledge, and isn't a drooling moron, we could probably also recognize that Getz is operating under certain constraints we won't be privy to. They were both dealt a s%*# hand, Grifol more than Getz, and they're dealing with it. I don't remember a single manager in my lifetime that was generally accepted as competent by the vocal fanbase. 

    And you know, penny wise, pound foolish still works when you collect 100 billion pennies. 

    Grifol has done nothing to suggest he’s not a baseball moron. His managerial record speaks for itself.

    Of course you care. Don't BS me. You wanted a guy, who has been pitching well ,who has been used a lot lately ,  to pitch another inning so they had a better chance to win the game. You couldn't tell me how much Wilson had been used lately or that Brebbia was injured or that Kopech and Leasure were unavailable because they each pitched 2 innings yesterday. I didn't see you  asking why didn't Garcia or Leone didn't pitch another inning. Why? Because they suck and you wanted to win the game and your rationale was that your crystal ball told you he wouldn't have got hurt.😂 Did your crystal ball tell you Brebbia was going to get hurt so he also wasn't available for yesterdays game ?

    Those are some top notch managerial skills. Now you have to resort to saying I'm carrying water for the franchise when all I usually do is point out JR is the one responsible for everything bad that the Sox do. What I'm actually doing is questioning your lack of understanding of the game and you bullshitting me that you didn't want them to win that game yesterday .

    Grifol should never get the benefit of the doubt, as any franchise with a brain would have fired him after last season.   With that said, Benintendi is killing this team.  At worst, he’s supposed to be an elite contact guy.

    What other position players would you add to the always getting hurt list? TA and Grandal seem to come to to mind as well. Maybe Burger but most of his injuries happened when he was still a young pup in the minors. 

    Just so happens it was the three strongest guys on the team

    And can we stop blaming Grifol or the training staff or anyone or anything else for the injuries. This is the player that he is, just like Eloy. 

    Do you really believe that if Grifol and the training staff would have held him out for a few days to rest whatever, that he would have been hurt a week later or two weeks later? Of course not. 

    Who knows,  all we know is he had an injury to it…and by pushing it, he completely tore it
