00:00Well, good way to put it. I'm just curious. Now, how limited is your ambition because
00:06of how scarred you feel about what's happened this season and all the things that, you know,
00:12he represented?
00:13I think that White Sox fans should walk into this being a little bit skeptical and maybe
00:17even cynical about where this goes because the problems are, they're myriad. Like it's
00:24so much that they have to try and overcome. But to me, you can separate it and say the
00:33White Sox organizationally are not very strong right now, but I know this guy can't manage
00:41even with the restrictions that he's been given. The fact that the roster is not very
00:48good, which is on Chris Gets and before that it's on Rick Han and Kenny Williams because
00:53of what they did and on ownership.
00:55But there were fundamental problems with how he managed. I agree with that.
00:58That's the thing.
00:59That's the thing to identify.
01:00That's the thing. The point that I've been trying to make for the last couple of weeks
01:03is that just because we know the roster's bad doesn't mean that we can't identify a
01:09bad manager. And he's a bad manager in every sense of the word. Whether we're talking game
01:17strategy, whether we're talking setting a tone, whether we're talking fundamentals, whether
01:22we're talking dealing with the public, there is nothing that Pedro Grafal is good at. There's
01:28no redeeming quality to him. So fire him and let's hope that it means that you're starting
01:34to think bigger and trying to hire better people.
