9/20 vs. WSH: “There’s No Gamethread” Gamethread
TheBooneLoganEra replied to Eminor3rd's topic in 2023 Season in Review
Pedro showing why he's the right man for the job today. -
That would be in keeping with his personality.

Kenny really went out on a high note didn't he?

9/6 4th Place Sox at 5th Place Royals
TheBooneLoganEra replied to Texsox's topic in 2023 Season in Review
How are the royals still behind them? Can't wait until the post-game where Grifol tells us he's going to sit down and take a look and address what went wrong with this ballgame. -
F*#k Pedro Grifol. Worst manager in my lifetime for the worst White Sox team in my lifetime. How do they manage gut wrenching losses when they're 30 games under? It's baffling. But s%*# bring him back!
-
Almost more egregious is his tone in post game press conferences. Apathetic with a hint of condescension towards anyone who questions his decisions. I feel like when he took the job he was unaware that part of it was to talk to the media. If the dude was just a tad likeable, or seemed to be at all genuine in taking any responsibility I'd at least pull for him. But he has absolutely no redeeming value as a "face" for this ballclub. The fact that he had the audacity to say he has no concern over his job status shows you how unaware he is. Even if his job is safe he should be acting like it's not if he truly takes a shred of accountability for this disaster.
-
I've never seen a team with less pride. To say Grifol is safe in his job is beyond absurd. There is not even the slightest glimmer of hope on the big league roster.

Zavala DFA, Cronin up, Lambert to IL

Perez is the perfect candidate to end his career here with a whimper. -
Stop. The first organization to have a Black manager and general manager at the same time (Manuel and Williams) is not opposed to diversity. There are so many things to be upset over, this is not one of them. I get that had they done it, an actual search would be required rather than internal garbage, I get that. But Jerry has always prided himself on diversity and rightfully so. It's okay though, because now they'll be forced to take on a diverse hire for another leadership role whether they deserve it or not.

Mully and haugh actually doing a pretty good dive into everything this morning.
-
You said it right there. The trade of Burger is a much larger failure now in light of their commitment to compete immediately and the continued talk of Moncada as a problem. KW really screwed us otw out.
-
I dont understand the public commitment to Grifol. He and Pedro reportedly have a good relationship. That was apparent when Pedro greeted him after the conference. If that's the case why don't you privately tell Pedro he will be back in 2024. Then when asked publicly state something to the effect of "nobody's job is safe and everyone should be playing, coaching and managing like someone is pushing to take their job." An easy win with the fan base and maybe a kick in the butt to the players. I dunno. This whole organization just makes things so much harder than necessary.
-
Unless they prematurely call that 20 yr old catcher, and 21 yr old shortstop up in order to "compete." Which they will, thus ruining their natural development the same way they've always done it.
-
These were not hard questions. They were softballs and he missed on all of em.....similar to his playing career.
-
Right. And then allowed no follow up. Basically the stadium is completely safe even though he thinks bullets are falling from the sky.
-
I do love that since the organization has said nothing about the shooting, and Jerry refused questions, Getz was immediately thrown to the wolves in what was supposed to be "his" moment.
-
At least when Hahn said nothing he did it in an intelligible way. He basically said he's different from Rick and Kenny in that he's a different human being.
-
That was absolutely brutal. He has all the personality of a wet paper bag. I should have been taking shots everytime he said "sit down with" and "culture." They're going to lose 120 next year.
-
Wow. It just keeps getting worse.
