      I have seen teams that had okay players with good not great players that were d🎉isciplined and g🎉ood at execution win a world series with pitching was similar to what the White Sox have there hitting is awful they never walk the the hitting coach is horrible he should be fired to.

    Grifol seems to have forgotten that Kenny Williams is no longer around. You don't have to pretend to be angry about losses anymore. This White Sox team is terrible. If I was manager, I would absolutely want to get myself fired. But Reinsdorf's cheapness exceeds his desire for positive change, so Grifol ain't goin' nowhere.

    If the Portland Trail Blazers don't have Clyde Drexler when the 1984 NBA Draft takes place, Jerry Reinsdorf's only claim to fame in North American sports is how unapologetically he has been the sports equivalent of a slumlord.

    The organization as a whole from the top down is terrible. Nobody cares and nobody wants to find a way to fix it. Reinsdorf is a terrible owner, both his teams suck, and he refuses to spend money or hire anyone that has a proven record for winning. Someone PLEASR but the team from him and end this continual misery

      Quoting The Urinating Tree about the Chicago White Sox:
      “Nothing is being done, nobody is being held accountable. They're just going through the motions while collecting a cheque.”
      This edition of the White Sox is the worst put together in history.

    I think Grifol is right. Granted, the Orioles are a very difficult opponent. What Ozzie Guillen said earlier in the season still resonates in my mind. "The reason they fired Rick and Kenny was them. It's just that. If they think I'm wrong, prove me wrong. Most of the time managers get blamed when the players don't perform. But when they fire the people who signed you. Look yourself in the mirror, it's time to start playing better."

    Can't wait to see him gone (and, frankly, the whole Chicago Royals Experiment). But let's NOT chant to fire him, every game, home and away. However bad a situation, it can always get worse. We started with a 2- team WS winner who took the 21 Sox to the playoffs, and chanted him out (the 22 team finishing at .500. That got us this guy, who took a healthier version of that Sox team to 40 games below .500 in 23. Now we're in the running to out-bad the 62 Mets. If we chant this guy out, what would we get?
    Also,how about the training staff? Same players, same type of injuries again and again and again for years. Do they even have anyone besides Andrew Vaughn stretch? Are they just training the Sox for strength, not flexibility? What is it?

    Lost what little respect for Grifol last year when he kept Trace Thompson in the line up who was batted .163 instead of putting in young players/prospects to give them experience and see what they could do. What a joke...but not funny.

    Grifol came in before last year preaching “culture culture culture” but the actual culture has gotten so much worse with him managing. Lack of talent on the roster to the side, Grifol has made some very bad decisions in a lot of games and it’s so obvious he’s never had respect in the locker room! And the team is also on a 13 game losing streak, on top of many more shorter losing streaks. He’ll never manage in the MLB again once he’s FINALLY fired!!

      Because he criticized the players without giving them any direction or opportunity to understand what they need to do better. Did they not take good at-bats? Did they not play aggressively on defense? Say something of meaning instead of lazy, corporate buzzword speak that offers nothing.

    Grifol is the worst manager I have ever seen he makes weird,stupid comments he fights with young players he has lost a lot of games with his stupid decision,he should have been fired a long time ago.The White Sox minor league team Charlote has a manager they should hire him Sergio Santos they are in first place he would bring a culture of winning,he is in house he would not require a big contract he is very good with younger players they seemed to like him it just makes to much sense for Reinsdorf so it will probably not happened with Grifol I think a little league team could beat the white Sox and yes I am serious fire Grifol already it is painful to watch almost a third are more of thier losses are due to his horrible decisions.
