Firing Grifol will fix everything

Double steal with the catcher at 3rd base is definitely a winning move.

Its enough that the SOX are maybe the worst team in the entire history of baseball but I watched the lowlights of their game against the O's which they lost due to umpire misfeasance. It was mind boggling to me who they could have ended this game because of baserunner interference after an infield fly rule was already called on the play and the fucked up call ended the game.

It seems like every week there are examples of awful game decisions made by these umpiring mental midgets. Just yesterday the league apologized again for a blown call ending a game.

I think this is a ploy by the umpires union to deliberately do this before the league changes to an automated umpiring situation including more oversite of field crews and a reflexive legal suit against major league baseball.

Yes, because nothing convinces your boss to keep your job then intentionally fucking up.

It just seems like it is not mere coincidence that about every day there are incidents of really awful mistakes done by these umpiring crews. This just seems to be way out of the normal bad calls by umpires which have happened since baseball was invented. The other possibility is that these assholes are making these calls because a lot of them are betting on the games. Hell, baseball has already proven that it intentionally looks the other say when sports "heroes" make bets on their own sports. Every day when you watch these
sports programs we get bombarded by stupid ads and entire programs for stupid betting on sports.

I blogged about potential Grifol replacements, but I would love to hear what the forum thinks....understanding that if he launched midseason we'll probably get Montoyo for 3 months anyways

Just have Eloy fill out the lineups. They don't need a manager.

Bernstein went stopped clock a few days ago in pointing out the obvious…

This is a dead franchise. There’s nothing to point to, no momentum to some hopeful future, no visible roadmap. Jeeeery is going to grind this thing out with incompetents and imagining an upgrade from Grifol is pointless.

Look at it on the bright side. At least you'll have the next 4 months of Frank "regaling" you with "citings" of how often Caller Bob posts in the White Sox section, versus how often he posts in the Cubs section to look forward too!

It truly is amazing how this guy still has a job. He makes Bevington and Ventura look competent.

He is 76-147

I know he ain't the only problem here, but any real team would have gone to Montoyo as interim 2-3+ weeks ago.

Katz does nothing well either.

Come on now, Ventura shouldnt be in the same sentence with Bevington and Grifol

Rodriguez will probably be the interim manager. We must maintain the Royal way.

Wow, 12 losses in a row. Pedro is going to get the Dale Sveum treatment I think.

As long as Reinsdorf is running the team, why would we expect an actual managerial upgrade? Grifol was at least outside of the organization, but it's hard to see them making what would be considered to be an upgrade.

Caller Bob would be an upgrade.

This monkey toy would be an upgrade


There are 4 of 5 guys already on staff that would be an upgrade.

Even if its just the proverbial re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, sometimes you have to make a move just to make a move and show that you are a professional organization.

Come-on. AJ is way too smart for that to happen. This team took a lot of time to fuck things up that bad. It will NEVER RETURN TO RESPECTABILITY AS LONG AS THE REINSDORK NAME IS ON THE TEAM OWNERSHIP DOCUMENTS.

Now would be a good time.

The next window would be the all star break but how do you wait that long with a team this bad.

They were always going to be bad, but they are bad in a different way than expected.

Not that it will make any difference but you kinda gotta launch this guy.

Didn’t Reinsdorf pretty much say he should have been launched last year and didn’t do it. What makes anyone think he will now. The only difference between this year and last year is worse W/L ratio and a unlistenable announcer. They were a joke last year and are a joke this year. Fuck the whole organization.

I don't know if I blame the players per say. I do not doubt for a second they are giving effort. They are mostly minor league players. The talent just isn't there. The manager is in way over his head. The GM might be in over his head. The owner DGAF. Its the perfect storm for one of the worst MLB teams ever.

It's this sort of "logic" that got us Hahn, Grifol, and Getz however. Which is hardly "logical" at all.
