Schiffren has said “it seems like a totally different team” like 20 times this year.

Getz did not hire Grifol.

I still think he is going to retire at the end of the year.

Nice Robert is fixed.

This ballpark is so dumb.

Those are not attractive offers to me. And I'm sure some of it is trying to take advantage of Getz, but I'm guessing most of it is innings limit and lack of history of being able to do this.

Seems like they made the right decision to hold on to him. Imagine getting Ryan and then him going down 2 weeks later? Oof.

He always look a little rotund?

It sucks that Robert has comparable talent to Soto and he just isn't there.

Just because he would be the best we would have doesn't mean he is actually good.

Insane I've reached the point where I never want to see Robert again.

Cannon should be a solid 4 for a while.

Sure it's still a talent issue, but it was a talent issue WITH guys just going through the motions and lifeless. Made it far worse than it needed to be.

What available qualified guy would you like that is out there? Francona?

I think if they win at a more "regular" (not over .500 or anything) clip and play with some actual passion and aggressiveness maybe they'd keep him around. I know Getz said what they are looking for, but I guess that could always change.

I don't think either of them are around next year.

I truly think that. I think it's a bad team that Pedro Grifol made far worse.

I don’t think he’s looked super overmatched. Just gotta lay off some stuff.

Grifol should have been gone months ago.

Bummer was lights out for a few years here. There is plenty of other stuff to complain about.

What's their base taunt thing? "Keep your chin up" ...?

Guess we will find out next year? At least I hope.

Kind of impressed he got a bunch of soft contact after that.

He should be gone tomorrow and Colas or Deloach should be up.

Wasn't he pretty good in his last handful of outings here, too?
