He was by far the worst of all umpires and that’s why the MLB paid him to retire.

I like how all the players seem to be colluding to disagree with whatever Grifol says to the media. Seems pretty obvious at this point that they are trying to get him fired.

Yep, it was a negotiated retirement. The MLB paid him to retire. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2024/05/27/angel-hernandez-retires-mlb-umpire-stats/73873676007/

Back on pace for a 45-117 record.

$7 million burned in a fire pit ? to go right along with Maldonado and Lopez’s combined $8.8 million. $15.8 million guaranteed to three players that are DFA candidates. Getz is terrible at his job.

Amazing that anyone would actually exert some effort to defend Grifol. Sure, the team is awful but Grifol is a terrible manager in his own right and should be fired for his own individual shortcomings, regardless of the awful team that Getz put together.

9 hits but only one run scored on the solo homer. ?

The Legend is delusional…

The delusions of grandeur must’ve rubbed off of Schriffen and onto The Legend.

Lefty power hitter.

Another near shutout spoiled. Curses.

Nastrini’s walk rate in the bigs is impressive.

Sheets has an OPS that is in free-fall and 3 homers. What team wants that from a 1B/DH?

I am now embracing Pedro. He is making JR and Getz look every bit as bad as they have been since Getz was ridiculously promoted to a better position after his own failures, as well as before that awful decision with Hahn and Kenny running the show for decades. Getz has made one good acquisition — Fedde. He basically lucked into Pham just as Hahn lucked into Cueto for the same reasons, no one else wanted them and they had holes at those positions so they were quite simply the next best obvious players to sign. Almost all of Getz’s other transactions/decisions have been awful. Mena for Fletcher looks especially terrible for a team like the Sox that needs young starters. Trading Matthew Thompson for Bailey Horn, only to DFA Horn later? DFA’ing Jose Rodriguez just because he’s a panicky GM and can’t manage a 40-man roster. He kept countless pieces of garbage over Rodriguez. A perfect example is that Getz chose to keep awful Dominic Leone for so long that he got stuck with him because he got injured. Why was this bum not cut over other much young players/prospects?!? Chris Getz is a terrible GM.

Damn, was rooting for the no no and shutout.

Does Schriffen still like this team? ?

Every time I look at his line, I take a look at Mena’s and puke a little.

Too many walksies.

Other fans should have bought him/her several.

Hopefully there is still a stupid GM out there that thinks Kopech is good because he threw a 105 MPH fastball in Boston’s minor leagues.

Perhaps he should get in better shape then. Yoga perhaps? Either way, it’s his body and it most definitely is on him. These excuses are so damn weak.

Well, he should start thinking about it, cuz there’s no way Jerry is approving his $16.5 million dollar team option, even if Getz wanted to bring him back. Enjoy your $3 million dollar buyout, ILoy.

Tray. And he probably still thinks ILoy isn’t injury-prone.

$5.5 million guaranteed. Tack that on with Maldonado’s inexplicable salary and Getz has wasted $10 million on two players that would be DFA by any other team. Worst GM in baseball. When you know your team sucks and you are rebuilding, you don’t throw $5 million dollars at over-the-hill catchers and relievers.
