00:00Ozzy, we have not talked to you since the firing of Pedro Grafal and the subsequent hiring of Grady Sizemore.
00:10So what did you think about it? Were you surprised the Sox made a firing in-season?
00:15What do you think about Sizemore and his potential future?
00:19Well, you know, one thing that surprised me, the White Sox was that long with Pedro.
00:25You know, I mean, just managing a fire because what's your percentage of winning?
00:31If you're winning, they're going to keep you even if they don't like you.
00:34Even if they don't like the way you talk, even if they don't like the way you act.
00:38Anything. If you're winning, they will keep you.
00:41If you're losing, I don't care. They love you. You're the nicest man.
00:45You're doing your job, but the team don't perform.
00:48So many things I think was good for Pedro.
00:52I know Pedro don't want to get fired. That's no question about it.
00:57But I think it was an easy for him to do it.
01:02Finally, they made that decision. I think that decision came right on time.
01:08I'll say a few times that now, firing Pedro, Chris Gets era.
01:18Since that day, I think we're going to start talking about what Chris Gets
01:24going to do with this organization.
01:27He can be a hero or he can be the devil. He can be either way.
01:31I think he had a chance to do good.
01:33Hopefully, you know, the minor league system, the development of the kids,
01:39it's straightforward to make it a big league players.
01:42And besides, I mean, I think the team played more loose.
01:46They played a lot better last couple of days.
01:48I think maybe because the fans, you know, played the Cubs.
01:51You see a lot of fans out there. You play against the New York Yankees.
01:55Fans are going to be out there.
01:57I think it gives you another little bit of punch of energy.
