Milkman delivers Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 31 minutes ago, Paulie4Pres said: I don't even want this guy fired. He deserves to manage one of the worst baseball teams of all time, because he's one of the worst managers of all time. Let it ride people. It's not like firing him would make a damn bit of difference. Also, if you let him finish out the year, he’s gotta be challenging for the worst managerial record of all time by win-loss percentage, right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 He should be fired tonight. I also would like to hear what Getz has to say about all this losing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) His post game press conference are embarrassing. I thought Terry Bevington was bad, Grifol is next level! Getz already MIA hiding under desk. Edited April 8 by Soxfest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I'm not usually for firing the manager, but I think this should happen now. The season is already lost, but something has to be done. If the FO doesn't want an absolute total fiasco, they should get rid of Pedro and bring in a real baseball man. I have been a fan for a long, long time, and I have not seen anything so pathetic. If JR doesn't do something now, he will only demonstrate that he doesn't care one bit. Screw that stadium. Really, screw that stadium. This is so bad, words can't describe it. The 1970 team that lost 106 was better. At least they cared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickel Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Following Renteria and LaRussa, you'd think Reinsdorf and his minions had learned their lesson, especially with heavyweights like Bochy, Maddon and Mattingly (I think) still available. But nooooo! They went to the then worst organization in baseball--Kansas City--for a replacement. And adding insult to injury they make Getz the GM--another Royals management flunky. So now with have a roster with an average age of "60" and we are quickly heading to the worst record in the league! HELP!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really needs to go. He serves no purpose but to make the team a bigger punchline than they already are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickel Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Correction: La Russa WAS a heavyweight. He had no idea what was transpiring on the field during this last stint with the Sox, as evidenced by some very poor strategic decisions. But I'll always give him kudos for being a brilliant manager in his prime. There was nobody better. Unfortunately, Father Time and health problems caught up with him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie4Pres Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) What is even a hall of fame level manager going to do, with this lineup? Those that want him fired, I have to ask: Why? Let him go down with the Hindenburg. Edited April 8 by Paulie4Pres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him go down with the Hindenburg. I said my guess was he'd be fired around Memorial Day and I stand by that speculation. Someone is going to be made the fall guy and it's not going to be JR or Getz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
