Ozzie probably had about the normal impact on them winning in 2005 as most managers do. I think Ozzie understands the game better than you think, but the roster construction decisions will be poor which makes this managerial decision inconsequential. Let us not forget those Sunday lineups. Yuk... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How funny when I also heard Ozzie criticize some of Tony’s Sunday lineups or lineups for a day game after a night game. Maybe, hopefully if be some miracle he gets the job, which I doubt will happen, he won’t screw around and hope the B Team can win a game. Really not fair to the starting pitchers to have s%*# line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ'S Cousin Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I highly doubt Ozzie gets the job. I think it’s up to Houston. I think Espada is who you they want. If Dusty retires after the WS, he’ll stay in Houston and get the job. Then I believe it’s Alomar, Washington or Schildt. Problem is with Schildt, he’s a La Russa clone, younger than Tony, but still probably will have Tony tendencies. We’ll see, I think a decision will be within a week after the WS ends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 This sucks. Out of all of the people they interviewed, Espada was the only choice I would have been actually excited about. The more I think about Ozzie, the more I'm against him. The only way this makes any sort of sense is if Espada took himself out of the running.

Chicago White Sox Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Very strange that the Sox felt compelled to come out and squash the Espada rumor from last week Andy let the Guillen one run wild. Still think it will be Kevin Long when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoeLessRob Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Just when I thought this organization can’t become more of a clown show… it’s beyond comical at this point.

I've been here for a while now. Hahn didn't get the boot and there has been little blame going on towards the players. They are not deserving of a "learn on the job" manager, all to give them yet another crutch excuse to not get the job on the field done again. Washington or Ozzie, time to play ball. Honeymoon is over for Moncada, Robert, Eloy, Giolito and Co. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
