Dick Allen Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ May 20, 2005 -> 11:20 PM) Tribune is saying the wind will be blowing out to right field. I really hope Everett isn't playing tomorrow. Dye is swinging the bat much better than Everett is right now, and there's no reason to put our defense at such a disadvantage. Wind will be blowing in from RF, even more reason to have Everett sitting next to Harold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like he's tearing the cover off the ball. Maybe Podsednik needs a rest. Dye is finally getting some hits, so it would be a horrible time to sit him. Everett's numbers are earily similar to his rather unimpressive numbers of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Heading out to the ballpark in a little over an hour. Contreras v. Zambrano, should be an excellent game.

Dye has been much better recently, and everyone in baseball knows he's someone that is always very streaky. Meanwhile, Everett has been simply awful at the plate for the better part of a month now. Also, this isn't taking into account that Everett is the worst outfielder in the majors. We better hope Contreras strikes out about 12 guys today.

The only thing that offsets this a little is that Zambrano is an excellent fielder, but Pods handles the bat well enough to force Ramirez to field a bunt. Catching a break with Barret being hurt, even though his numbers aren't crazy he's still a much better bat than Blanco, and only having one catcher limits Dusty's moves late in a game. Dubois should be interesting against the Count. He's got a ton of raw power, but is a free swinger, if Count can get ahead he should be a perfect victim for the fork ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 (edited) Ozzie does things that are best for the long term as opposed to just winning today's game. You already know know that Ozzie does not put the importance on this series that the fans do, and honestly, he's absolutely correct. This is just another series if you are focused on winning the division. So ... if Ozzie thinks it's in the best interests of the team, over the long hual, to put Everett in RF today then I have no problem with it.

Jabroni Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I think Ozzie geared the lineup more toward speed to mess with Zambrano's head. Willie is faster than Iguchi and Everett is a bit faster than Dye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie is faster than Iguchi and Everett is a bit faster than Dye. True, but that's a stupid decision then by Ozzie. The combination of Zambrano and Blanco will be almost impossible to steal on. Zambrano has a very quick delivery, and Blanco has a cannon behind the plate. If we lose today....fine. But I really hope it's not cause Everett botches some plays in the outfield. I'll be pissed then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
