zisk Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I'm surprised we're not on page 1.000.000 by now. At the same time, it's kinda fun watching a worm squirm. He is so overmatched, I'm starting to feel sorry for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeC Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I wonder how much better this team would be right now without Pedro. We could be like 6-15 with this lineup. We could be legitimately challenging other clubs for 29th best record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually hinted he thought the team was capable of a 17-3 stretch. He's a nicer version of Terry Bevington. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Pedro Grifol's managerial skills are beginning to make Terry Bevington look like Bruce Bochy and Robin Ventura look like Bobby Cox. It's a sad day when I would rather have one of Bevington or Ventura back on the bench over the guy currently there. 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 1 hour ago, MikeKreevich said: Ease up on Pedro. No manager could win with this line-up. Whats his excuse for last season? We are 3-18 and on pace for not only a historically bad record, but a historically bad offense. If this team was going to be 62-100 again, sure you can ride him all year and then cut bait at the end of the season. For now, if this team is 6-30 and scoring 2 runs per game you have to do something to try and shake things up. Winning 35-40 games and being absolutely terrible in all facets of the game is just a horrible idea to ride all year long. Eventually, they are going to need to do something to try and give some new life to this corpse of a team. The fact that they are signing guys like Celvinger and Pham tells me that they are not OK with whats going on right now. I don't see how its even comprehensible that Pedro is manager of this team all season long. You just can't allow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the correct answer but it is the answer in this organization. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoeless_joe21 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 At this point, just give managerial duties to a random fan every game. It'll improve attendance, and will lead to just as few wins. Announce it Price is Right style too, so the winner has to run screaming all the way from their seats down to the field. "Bill Kowalski of Orland Park...COME ON DOWN! You're the next manager of the Chicago White Sox!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Anyone saying Pedro should stay because they will lose anyway, is agreeing with JR. The guy is bad. Get his stupidity away from the organization. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Pedro should be fired since he has 0 managerial credibility and is on pace for being one of the worst managers of all time, but Jerry is just going to replace him with another shmuck who will also be terrible. Jerry will put these guys there to take the heat off himself. It wont get any better with Pedro's replacement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 When considering firing a manager, ask yourself if another team would ever consider him for their manager in the future? If the answer is no, then you know what you should do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I’m just misremembering, that would be the last White Sox manager to be legit fired in season. Almost 30 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
