Kyyle23 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I just don’t want Pedro to be the guy teaching the young guys on this team how to be major leaguers. I totally recognize that this team could be managed by prime Bobby Cox and still lose 100, but Pedro honestly does not add any sort of value to this team. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They suck and will suck, but why let this guy do any more damage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually at some point this year we will see a couple of the young guys make an appearance. He should not have a single conversation with them, let alone fill out a lineup card.

Rusty Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 1 hour ago, fathom said: The Cubs have the worst injury issues in baseball, and they’re about to be 13 games up on the Sox Why if I told you 4 years ago, when we all had visions of a “championship window.” That on April 25th, 2024…the fucking Cubs would have five times as many wins as the White Sox? People would’ve rolled over laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzfest Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 At this point leaving Grifol in there shows fans, players etc that Jerry doesn't give an F. It's so apparent we are all just a bunch of morons for watching this team. Jerry is the worst owner in sports. Can't take it anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I’m at least somewhat confident that Grifol might be here through the rest of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a zero percent chance MLB allows this team to move to Nashville and Jerry wouldn’t do it either because it tanks the valuation for when it’s sold after he passes. It’s smoke and mirrors to try and get the state to renew the criminally favorable lease terms at GRF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Forgive me but I'm very upset. Grifol is a stooge. My gosh. So you go 3-0 with Pham and it's obvious Pham and Mendick are two guys who actually are worthy of a spot on the big league roster. So he rests Pham cause he had no spring training. Are you serious Grifol??? Your team has a chance to start winning some games and go from historically bad to just bad and you REST PHAM?? After three fricking games? That's what they said on the radio. He was rested tonight cause he had no spring training, You'd think Grifol would want to ride the hot bat and win a fourth in a row against a Minnie team that embarrased the Sox in Minnie. Instead they bench Pham and let him pinch hit once. This resting of players in the big leagues is a fricking joke. Thanks Pedro. You are a buffoon. I bet he was so proud of himself making sure to rest Pham after three games. Just resign. Three games and he's tired??? Gawd I'm angry.

It's honestly a joke that baseball players today don't play every game. This used to be the norm. Now it's extremely rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah those guys wrecked their bodies and had short careers. I understand the process of staying healthy and I actually understand sitting Pham because dude has been at home since the season started.

Quin Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Athletes are also just bigger, faster and stronger now. Remember when it was a big deal for a pitcher to throw 100, but now every org seemingly has several guys capable of hitting 100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
