But this isn't the first time a Sox manager went off on the fans questioning the lineup construction: ‘‘Turn off their TVs and stop watching the game if they don’t like the [bleep]ing lineup’’ --Ozzie Guillen to White Sox fans You're so right though, you can truly understand where this Grifol arrogance comes from, when you listen to Jerry, Kenny and Rick talk to the media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point and so did his own KC team when they hired the Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro as their new manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several veterans in the Chicago White Sox organization have privately expressed that they would welcome a trade, and considering the way they are playing, may soon get their wish. None of the players, however, have formally asked the White Sox front office to trade them. Which is just hilarious. They crapped in the bed and now they don’t want to sleep in their feces-stained bed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the love of God fire Grifol and bring back Ozzie, can't be any worse. You’re right and he’s probably the only semi-credible person that would take the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Grifol will not recover from this, amateur hour cheap hire. All talk and zero results. He will be one and done. Basically a 11 game under manager feels no need to answer questions on his ridiculous moves. KC knew his ineptness and after 10 years in organization would not even give him a courtesy interview. That spoke volumes. Edited June 19, 2023 by Soxfest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RG23SoxFan Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Don't get me wrong, Grifol should be fired but there isn't a manager that could win with these players. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems somewhere beyond snark to me. It’s hard to believe a manager would even say something like that, but if one did, you’d think it is most likely truthful. Jerry must be making out these lineups. Which is kind of insane to me, if that were indeed the case. That’s just a wild quote really particularly from a rookie manager in a new org. If Grifol has gone into full f*** it mode, I can’t say I dislike it. I feel similarly after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 2 hours ago, The Kids Can Play said: He is saying that which is a joke. It's a slap in the face to his immediate boss Rick Hahn. Good, nobody respects that ass clown, and everyone knows he is a worthless errand boy with not a single talent that can help this or any organization. 2 hours ago, Dick Allen said: In all fairness Pedro and his line ups aren’t the only reasons this team is bad. But he certainly isnt what we had hoped and what Rick and Kenny said he was. Nightengale wrote several Sox veterans want out. Good. Would wager there were at least 30 players who wanted out when La Russa was here. This organization is the Chernobyl of MLB. Also, I could give zero fucks about this guy throwing a two day hissy fit and counting about Grifol’s answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Pedro latest Sox employee to only allow for honesty when addressing the fans that pay their salary. KW, Hahn, Ricky, Tony, and now Pedro.

The Kids Can Play Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Let's go back to the original Pedro Grifol press conference, when Rick Hahn announced Pedro as the new White Sox Manager. This is a long 55 minute video, so I'm not expecting you to listen to the entire video. However I have listed some of the pertinent points to listen to, that will clearly illustrate the disconnect between Pedro's assertions to the reality of what actually has transpired under his watch: 1. 13:39-14:41 - After Hahn introduces Pedro as his new manager, the opening comments from Pedro before the media Q & A starts. 2. 17:14-17:59 - Question #2 from media to Pedro 3. 19:38-20:28 - Question #3 from media to Pedro 4, 21:05-23:10 - Question #4 from media to both Hahn & Pedro 5. 23:12-24:32 - Question #5 from media to Pedro Enjoy!
